Chapter 465 - 446: That Day, That Boy-II

Li Lian knew sooner or later this will come to light though she hoped it wouldn't be in this situation that she revealed this information about her part as it would make it seemed like she had withhold this information out of shame or fear of being unaccepted.

"Does Jun Wei know this?" asked Elder Li who composed himself much faster than Madam Li.

Li Lian promptly nodded her head, "I know you deserve an explanation grandfather, grandmother and I'm sorry for hiding it to you. I had planned to soon tell you about my past but I wasn't very comfortable about it and Jun Wei told me that he would wait until I am ready. When I was young, I was kidnapped. My parents tried to find me to no avail which then lead me to be shipped to Japan. A kind man took me in as his granddaughter and that person is the head of Ryouma Clan, my grandfather."

Madam Li was shocked in many ways that her lips can't close until she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry Li Lian," and Li Lian feel her heart sink down to her stomach. She had felt being thrown away and casted multiple times but she wondered if all that time hit her more than now. 

Madam Li then looked at her husband as if they were exchanging a conversation before speaking which had Li Lian to raise her face, "We are also hiding a truth from both you and Jun Wei. When we learned that you are the granddaughter of Ryouma Clan. I was surprised but also a little disappointed and fearful," said the woman with honesty. "The fear in me and disappointment isn't because that you came from Ryouma Clan. We do fear Yakuza but we trust you more."

"Grandmother," Li Lian called, pulling a smile better from earlier. "Thank you, your words meant a lot to me. When my parents found out about my past, they didn't take it too kindly which why I am grateful that you two had kindly accept my past."

Elder Li frowned but on Xie Couple's action, "No matter how fearful one is to Yakuzas, how could they use that an excuse to hate others? We don't mind about your past. Jun Wei chose you and we know there is a reason behind his choice. Everyone have a past or two where they did things they won't be proud to talk again but that's what human is, we make mistake and we learned from it."

Grateful, Li Lian felt a burden on her shoulders have been lifted up with Elder and Madam Li's acceptance, but she couldn't point out their expression that was complex. Upon recalling what Madam Li, Li Lian questioned, "What is it that you two are hiding from Jun Wei?"

Madam Li pulled a deep breath, saying, "One could never guess fate is like an arrow that came from one point and stopped at the same point. That day we separated you two but I see how I shouldn't have done it."

"Separate?" Li Lian wondered why they were speaking as if Jun Wei and her had met before. As Li Lian keep more thought in her mind, something dawned in her. "How long ago are you speaking about this?"

"Years ago, almost six or eight years ago to my memories. Didn't you asked me before once Li Lian about the wound on Jun Wei's arm?" With the question laid out, the guess Li Lian had in her mind became the correct possibility. "You two have met long time ago, protecting each other in danger."

"The accident," Li Lian said for Madam Li to nod her head. "Jun Wei is that boy..."

"I thought you two knew about this and reunite again?" Madam Li questioned because the moment she heard Li Lian came from Ryouma Clan, her mind immediately goes back to that of years ago when she had lost her grandson on their vacation in Japan.

The day was bright that day, a little too sunny for the boys and the older couple. "We can arrange another travel in the future, dear," said Elder Li to Madam Li who sighed.

"That's not the problem, darling. Jun Wei and Xiao Chen need some days to have fun like other children, playing in the garden and with nature. You know how vacation together with family takes more than time when we are both busy, right? They need to be present with us and enjoy things like other family do. How can they close the zoo right now at this time? The aquarium and the magic land is also closed."

"We can try another place. We are near the street where inns of Osaka are located, maybe we can asked others if they knew about local's visiting spot," suggested Elder Li to which Madam Li immediately agreed.

Behind them was Li Jun Wei who was standing with his hands crossed on his back, looking far more composed than his grandparents, almost too composed for a child. He was staring at the trees next to the path where they were walking on and can't help but to admire the bright red maple leafs that scattered to the ground, creating a warm air. Unlike other children, Li Jun Wei prefer the nature's company and admire the beautiful sky when the maid's scream broke his daze.

"Ah! Young master Xiao Chen, please don't run!"

Li Jun Wei shook his head and raised his hand on the maid, "I will go for him."

"Please don't bother yourself, young master," said the maid, worried as she cannot let the young master of the family to take her responsibility that could warrant her to be fired.

Li Jun Wei stared at the maid, finding the older woman's eyes lowered when meeting him and sighed, "That's not necessary. Before your job, Xiao Chen is my younger brother," and without waiting for the maid's reply, he quickly chased for his younger brother before loosing him.

Searching all the way on the street, Jun Wei frowned when he wasn't able to find Li Xiao Chen anyway. In concern, he left the first street, going to the next to search for where Xiao Chen was until he spotted a girl fighting with an older man. Her leg were high up, kicking the man until she saw the little Xiao Chen who was near the old man and chose to protect the younger child than herself.
