Stealing Your Heart

“There was a woman who came to today and asked me to address her as Aunt. Is she related to us?” Lin Xinyan mentioned the incident today on purpose.

She knew how depressed Zong Jinghao was and wanted to talk about something else to distract him.

Zong Jinghao looked up, “What woman?”

“She said that she’s our Aunt,” Lin Xinyan explained.

Zong Jinghao understood immediately. That woman was likely Zong Yungan’s partner.

He explained to Lin Xinyan, “We don’t have many relatives. Dad had a brother, but he had passed on early. Within my generation, there’s only me. As for Zong Yungan, we have to go further back. Grandpa also had a brother. He was the elder of the two. His brother who wasn’t good in business started two companies and failed. Realizing that he didn’t have the talent for it, he stopped. However, he does own some of Wanyue’s shares. Anyway, he has a son which is of the same generation as Dad. But, we don’t really keep in touch.”

“Since they like to keep to themselves and rarely keep in contact, how did they hear about dad’s passing that quickly?” Lin Xinyan was curious.

Zong Jinghao’s eyes darkened in response. When Zong Qifeng was alive, Zong Yungan was put in his place. Now that Zong Qifeng was gone, Zong Yungan suddenly emerged from the shadows. It was obvious that something was amiss.

Lin Xinyan reached out to hold his hand. “No matter what he’s planning, we can discuss it later.”

The priority now was to ensure Zong Qifeng’s funeral was completed properly. She asked softly, “Are you planning to bury him with Mom?”

Ever since Cheng Yuxiu passed on, Zong Qifeng was devastated and constantly mentioned that he regretted not confessing his feelings to her. He had wanted them to be a couple for life. From Lin Xinyan’s perspective, although they didn’t manage to tell each other how they felt, their love for each other was real. After living under the same roof and interacting with each other on a daily basis, it was natural for them to develop feelings for each other.
