Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1325: Chapter 1319: The Past_1 Chapter 1325: Chapter 1319: The Past_1 “Are you thinking of Auntie again?” Chu Molin had never met Ye Xuan’s mother, but he often heard the three Yes speak of her, a beautiful and gentle woman. Sadly, fate had cruelly separated them, and they had still not found her even now.

“Hmm, I wonder where she is now?” Ye Xuan was young then, and his brother even younger. They became separated while their father was at war, so they did not have the chance to search for their mother.

It was from that time that Ye Xuan, who had always loved to laugh, no longer smiled. He felt that it was his fault his mother was lost, resulting in an agonizing guilt within him. As the years passed, his guilt grew stronger with age.

“Isn’t no news good news?” Chu Molin patted him on the shoulder. As the saying goes, one must witness life or see the body in death. As there was no body or news, that suggested that she could still be alive, just whereabouts unknown. Given all these years, she could be alive and that would be a thing better than her death.

“Big brother, you’re right, I was wrong. I will find her.” Said Ye Xuan. His greatest wish in this life was to find his mother.

His younger brother still muttered about their mother in his sleep and their father would secretly look at her picture in the middle of the night. He knew all of this but did not know how to comfort them, so he could only silently continue his search, hoping for some news of her, though it consistently ended in disappointment.

“It’s good that you’ve come to understand. Many things are not as you imagine them. Auntie’s disappearance is not your fault. Don’t take it to heart.” Chu Molin had heard from the old man about the conditions at that time when they were at war and the city was invaded by the enemy and ransacked.

The whole city was in chaos. When Auntie was leading them away, she saw another child crying and left Ye Xuan in charge of his brother while she went to help. In the rush of people, they got separated. By the time their father’s troops arrived, the city was in complete turmoil.

When their father found them, his wife was nowhere to be seen. The brothers continually cried for their mother and their father didn’t know how to comfort them. After that bout of intense crying, the once smiling elder son became silent, barely spoke, and never laughed. To this day, Ye Xuan barely remembers what laughter is.

Remembering all that, Chu Molin remembered the old man’s eyes welling up as he recounted it. The old man must miss his lost wife too; otherwise, in his position, he could have easily remarried. But his heart only held one woman, and there was no room for another.

To Chu Molin, the Ye family was pitiful, not unlike himself. So when the old man suggested adopting him as a foster son, he did not refuse. Having such a family was good, at least he was not alone.

Little did he expect that Ye Xiao would ascend to such a high position. Even less, did he think that an estranged child like him would have such powerful backing.

Apart from Chu Molin and the three Yes, no one else knew about this, not even Qin Xue. Chu Molin had never mentioned it.

It wasn’t that Chu Molin didn’t trust Qin Xue, it was just that the right moment never came. He was never good at confiding, so things had just been left to drift until now.
