He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 272: Contemplation

"No, that man was Li Jun Wei's second uncle." Wang Li Lei replied and heard Xiao Yun humming in response. "Thought so. We should go and greet grandfather and grandmother first." She said and the two was walking toward the direction of the drawing room. The rest of the guests had the expression of wanting to get closer but none came as Wang Li Lei had created quite a distance between them. Passing to the inner hallway which the other guests couldn't come without permission, Wang Li Lei spoke. "About grandfather and grandmother, I know it will be hard, are you alright?"

"I've decided on this." She said taking their hands and raise it over their face. "I have you after all!" Her giggle bubbled. "I bought their wedding anniversary gift. It isn't that expensive but I hope they will like it."

"Don't worry they will like it." He firmly returned. Xiao Yun took his words as a kind one out of consideration. Perhaps they wouldn't like it that very much but the least she hope they could appreciate her gift.

On the other hand side, Wang Yan Zhi sat on the couch inside the drawing room beside her, Wang Yongyi her husband sat right beside them. For the whole week after their last meeting with Wang Li Lei they had done a lot of reflections to their past behavior. Wang Li Lei's parents and Wang Li Lei, they thought again of the past they went through and the mistakes that ended up as an unhealable wound to their grandson. They slowly understood that there were too many things they couldn't fix and there was still a few things they could fix.

"Grandmother!!" Wang Shi Ning burst into the room, forgetting all the manners which Wang Yan Zhi has always reprimanded her for.

"Shi Ning." Wang Shi Ning's mother, Wang Zai Ci tried to stop her inelegant behavior. "I apologize mother, Shi Ning is still rude."

"That's alright, this isn't something that could be teach easily." Wang Yan Zhi has a soft spot for the bright Wang Shi Ning. "How are you two? Have everything been well abroad?"

"Yes, mother we are still worried that Shi Ning have to live alone in China but we can't also spoil here by keeping her near." Wang Zai Ci said, taking a seat next to Wang Yan Zhi gently, her face was soft with smile.

"That's true, she had been too spoiled since young." Wang Yan Zhi glanced at Wang Shi Ning who kept silence from their conversation as saying a word would only make her to keep reprimanded. "Grandmother look at my dress today, isn't it beautiful?" Wang Shi Ning veered their attention.

"Oh my, it is." Wang Yan Zhi observed the dress keenly. "Is it from Azure again?" She saw her granddaughter nodding intensely.

"This silly girl has loved the brand since she first saw the catalogue. She can't stop herself from buying all the new dresses even though she didn't really use it that much." Wang Zai Ci spoke in worries.

"But everything in the store is all beautiful! Even all my friends couldn't get one piece due to how hard it was to buy one. Grandmother you also love the brand, don't you?" Wang Shi Ning inclined her head to her grandmother.

"I do." Wang Yan Zhi covered her words with chuckle. "The dresses in Azure was made for all age that I can't help but took a liking of the shop too."

"See?" Wang Shi Ning probed, having her mother cupping the side of her jaw helplessly. "But buying too much also isn't good, Shi Ning." Hearing Her grandmother's word she pitted her lips. "I can't help it after all my future is to have my own shop! This is like a market survey, grandmother." Hearing her words the two woman sighed at her naivety.

"How is everything in New Zealand's branch, Feng Yi?" Wang Yongyi instead ask his son while his wife spoke with his daughter in law.

"Everything had been well there, father. Li Lei kept the HQ management very excellent making it easy for the other branches to work. He is truly suit for the work." Wang Feng Yi who had high expectation at his nephew praised heartily.

"Is that so," Wang Feng Yi could see the sullen look at his father and rose his brows. Usually when he praised his dear nephew Wang Yongyi would be the first one to have his mouth tirelessly continuing the endless praise but for some reason he kept quiet after a few reply. "Is there anything wrong, father?"

"There's nothing wrong." He sighed. "It's just that we have been rethinking our choices. I thought all this time I've made the best decision for the family but perhaps I didn't. I only chose what I thought was the best for the family not my for the sake of my sons."

Wang Feng Yi held his gaze away. His older brother, Wang Li Lei's father was a great man. He loved his family as much as he loved his wife. He could still remember the day of how angered his brother was when he heard the disagreement their father gave on his marriage. Even to the point when his brother decided to disinherited himself from the Wang Family his father was still against their marriage. Wang Feng Yi admired his brother since his childhood and when he heard his father's reasoning of against the marriage was due to her background, he could never agree more to his brother choice.

Yet who could guess that while the family was in chaos, his younger brother had turned twisted from greed. A few years after Wang Li Lei was born, Wang Yongyi went down from his position and instead of choosing the two son left, he nominated his eldest son who had left the family. His younger brother was shocked by their father's words and that lead him to killing his own brother and wife and almost killing Wang Li Lei who was still but a child.

Wang Feng Yi missed the time when they were still children who live without greed. But one can not turn back time, the dead can not come to life and what had happened can't return. Fate was a horrible one and he knew this better than others. Now out of the three brothers he was alone.

"Father-"

"Now you understand your mistake?" A shaky hoarse voice came as the door of the room was opened ajar.
