Chapter: 1710

Ye Chen sighed and took a step back.

The guards and that elderly master were all downstairs, so they couldn't see what was happening here either. Ye Chen didn't pretend anymore and walked ahead of Gu Qiuyu into the tomb.

When he arrived at his parents' grave, Ye Chen removed his sunglasses and mask and looked at the photos and names on the headstone, his tears suddenly uncontrollable, streaming out nonstop.

In his mind, it was as if a movie was being played at an extremely fast speed.

This movie recorded everything from the moment I started to write about it until I was eight years old.

Then, my brain flashed back on my life over the past decade or so at an even faster pace.

These 18 years without parents were long and arduous, filled with bitter sorrow and pain that ordinary people couldn't understand.

At this moment, countless words poured into his heart, wanting to pour out to his deceased parents, but when he got to the edge of his tongue, it felt like a fishbone in his throat, unable to utter a single word.

After crying for a while at the tombstone, Ye Chen let out a sob and knelt down on the ground, holding up fresh flowers with both hands, respectfully placing them before the tombstone, choking back tears. "Dad, Mom, your son is not filial, you've been gone for 18 years, and I've only just come to see you now. These years, your son has been trapped in a whirlpool of troubles, preoccupied with his own affairs, unable to fulfill the filial duties as a son should. Please forgive me."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down again at the tombstone, knocking his head heavily nine times.

As people say, you bow to heaven above and the earth below, but in between, only your parents are worthy of worship. In Ye Chen's eyes, both heaven and earth were not worth kneeling to; it was only his parents who deserved reverence.

Cui Yanzhong then walked forward, kneeling down single-legged at the tombstone, sighing. "Big brother, big sister-in-law, I've kept my promise to you for 18 years. My younger brother has finally brought back your child, and look at him now - he's already a fine young man! He looks almost identical to what you were like when you were his age."

As he spoke, he wiped away a tear and continued. "The last time I came to visit, I said I'd be leaving soon, but I didn't expect that my child would save my life, and big brother, big sister-in-law, you may have to wait for me again."

As he spoke, Cui Yanzhong's voice choked with emotion. Lin Wanjue walked up to him and knelt down beside him, her voice trembling as she said, "Big brother, big sister-in-law, I'm grateful that your spirit in heaven watches over Cui Yanzhi during his difficulties. The bond of gratitude between the Ye family and the Cui family, we will never forget it even until our dying breath."

Cui Qiuyi knelt down beside Ye Chen, her eyes welling up with tears without uttering a word. After a long time kneeling on the ground, Ye Chen finally wiped away his tears and gently cleaned the tombstone with his clothes.

He said, "Mom, Dad, this time I won't be able to stay for too long, but please don't worry, in the future, I'll definitely come back to visit you every year." He finished speaking and let out a deep sigh, then helped Cui Yanzhi up from the ground.

Cui Yanzhi nodded slightly, taking his wife's hand to stand up. Ye Chen put on his sunglasses and mask again and walked slowly down with Cui Yanzhi and his family.

Stone steps below, several security guards were standing upright in an alert manner.

While that old master, with both hands supporting his snake-shaped cane, looked at Ye Chen with a few inches of reverence in his eyes.

Ye Chen didn't say anything and instead walked up to the old master, bowing deeply.

The old master hurriedly dropped the cane and supported him, speaking sincerely and nervously: "This is not allowed. It's not for ordinary people."

A few security guards were taken aback.

When Ye Chen's family head bowed to the old master, the old master didn't even blink, wondering why this driver was bowing to him, and instead being so polite?

At that moment, the old master spoke up and asked Ye Chen: "Young fellow, don't you know if it's possible to borrow a step to talk?"

Ye Chen nodded slightly: "No problem." JrNovels.com
