Chapter 3103

(⊙o⊙)… That was a bit harsh, wasn't it? But Old Master Yun had to admit Yun Meng was telling the truth.

Old Master Yun looked at Yun Meng helplessly. "Don't take this to heart. And criticizing me like that hurts my feelings. Don't forget, he is my son, after all."

"So I’m saying, Grandpa, you really aren’t a qualified father," Yun Meng sighed.

Old Master Yun was speechless. He had to admit Yun Meng had a point, so he chuckled lightly. "Alright, we can only complain like this among family. It won’t do outside."

Yan Xizhong stood nearby, watching the grandfather and granddaughter with a smile, saying nothing.

Yun Meng snorted. "If it weren’t for being with family, I wouldn’t say it. But I’m telling the truth, Grandpa. Why didn’t you teach Dad properly back then?"

"When your father was born, I was at the peak of my career. I was too busy and left her to your grandmother. She was a good person, but she wasn’t good at education. By the time I had time to teach her, she had already gone astray. Fortunately, her 'astray' nature was within my tolerance."

Old Master Yun sighed as he spoke.

Yun Meng raised an eyebrow slightly. "What about my mother’s matter?"

Yun Meng’s mother was a topic forbidden in the Yun family.

She was a very virtuous woman with excellent aptitude back then.

Because of the Yun family’s prestige and her family’s desire to repay a kindness, she married Yun Qichu.

However, Yun Qichu always acted as the head of the Yun family, but her ability did not match her reputation. Outsiders didn’t know Yun Qichu well and thought she was capable. Only family members knew her, including Yun Meng’s mother, who knew her husband liked to brag.

Because of this, Yun Qichu disliked Yun Meng’s mother. After she gave birth to Yun Ling, she cheated. she kept a mistress outside, originally just to show off. But unexpectedly, when Yun Meng’s mother was pregnant with Yun Meng, the mistress gave birth to a daughter and came to the door to make a scene.

This caused Yun Meng’s mother to suffer a miscarriage due to stress, and she eventually passed away.

Before dying, Yun Meng’s mother only asked Old Master Yun to take care of the two children. Then she closed her eyes reluctantly. Because of this, Old Master Yun disliked the mistress.

Hearing Yun Meng bring up the past, Old Master Yun sighed deeply. "Looking back, it really was my fault. If I hadn’t hoped your father would have a virtuous wife, your mother wouldn’t have married him, and in the end, it harmed her."

Yun Meng shook her head. "Destiny is predetermined. My mom and dad didn’t grow old together. She went to reincarnate first. Honestly, I feel lucky for her. It means she has repaid my dad’s debt."

Yun Meng looked at Old Master Yun. "Honestly, since I married my husband, I’ve become very open-minded about living."

Hearing Yun Meng’s words, Old Master Yun sighed helplessly. she knew that although her granddaughter hadn’t seen her mother, as Heavenly Masters, they knew that the bond between mother and child was real.

Old Master Yun turned to look at Yan Xizhong, who looked leisurely. He spoke slowly. "Young Master Yan, why don’t you speak?"

Yan Xizhong picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip. "People know the temperature of water they drink themselves. Back then, Madam Yun doted on her son. Although her spoiling caused Master Yun to go astray, one cannot deny her maternal love. This son was something Madam Yun prayed for over three lifetimes. Therefore, her spoiling is understandable."

"Prayed for three lifetimes?" Old Master Yun was slightly stunned.

Yan Xizhong nodded slightly. "In the previous three lifetimes, Madam Yun had bad marriages because she had no sons." he looked at Old Master Yun again. "Later, she did good deeds for three lifetimes, which brought her happiness in this life. Madam Yun found you, became your wife, and had her own child. This was all the karmic merit and blessings from her previous three lifetimes. However, someone who has never been a mother will never know how to be a qualified mother. Undoubtedly, Madam Yun was the same."

Yan Xizhong added, "Actually, Master Yun was supposed to die twenty years ago. It was the combined fortune of your mother-in-law and Madam Yun that extended his life. So, he is destined to have average aptitude this life. Fortunately, as long as he does no evil, he can live safely to old age."

Old Master Yun listened quietly to Yan Xizhong’s words. He did not doubt that Yan Xizhong was lying, because he knew Yan Xizhong would disdain to lie.

Yan Xizhong looked at Old Master Yun again and then said, "Of course, precisely because of this, the fate between your mother-in-law and Master Yun was only for a few years. Now, your mother-in-law has entered reincarnation and has a new life. So, even if Master Yun goes to reincarnate after death, he will have missed Yue Mei."

Hearing Yan Xizhong’s words, Old Master Yun pondered again. "Will my son be smarter in his next life?"

"Unlikely to be smart," Yan Xizhong smiled. "He didn’t cherish this life properly. In the next life, his aptitude will still be about the same as now."

"Never mind, ordinary is ordinary," Old Master Yun waved his hand. "As long as he can live, that’s enough."

Parents love their children for the long term. Although Old Master Yun felt heartache for Yun Qichu, he couldn’t control his next life.

Yan Xizhong, who could control things, had no interest in managing such matters.

Yan Xizhong looked at Old Master Yun and then smiled. He had to admit, Old Master Yun was very open-minded. If an ordinary person heard that their son would still be ordinary in the next life, they might panic.

However, Yan Xizhong valued Old Master Yun’s open-mindedness. If he didn’t have this quality, Yan Xizhong wouldn’t have accompanied Yun Meng to see Old Master Yun.

At this moment, the butler came out. "Grandmaster, the meal is ready."

"Let’s go. There’s no one else at home. Only the two of you came to see me, so I didn’t invite anyone else."

Old Master Yun stood up. Yun Meng went over to support him as they went to the dining room. Yan Xizhong followed behind.

As Old Master Yun said, he didn’t invite anyone for his small birthday.

The main branch of the Yun family had few people, but there were many collateral branches. Old Master Yun knew Yan Xizhong was coming, so he was impatient with others coming over.

After all, other Yun family members coming over was mostly to flatter him. It was fine to see them during the New Year, but on a small birthday, Old Master Yun never let people come. Of course, sometimes, if he discovered outstanding young people, Old Master Yun would still meet them, treating it as a kind of reward.
