Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 249: Confession of a Close Relative

Rongyue hasn't been back to her grandmother's old house for a long time. She had moved to the new house with her grandmother before giving birth.

Rongyue followed Mo Chen. She didn't quite understand why he said he wanted to bring her to meet people at grandma's house.

Rongyue walked into the house and heard voices talking in her grandmother's room.

She and Mo Chen entered grandma's room and saw two middle-aged men sitting opposite grandma.

The middle-aged man was tall and straight, with a handsome face, and the faint dark green in his eyes was very deep and beautiful. His gaze was gentle and firm.

The middle-aged woman has a gentle face, crescent-shaped eyebrows, and a look of tranquility and peace in her eyes. Although she is middle-aged, her face still does not show many signs of aging, but she has a charm that matches her age.

"Rongyue..." Both of them stood up after seeing Rongyue, as if they were suppressing their inner excitement, and were a little at a loss.

But the look in both of their eyes was the same, filled with tears.

Rongyue frowned. She knew these two people, or at least had seen their photos.

"Mo Chen, Rongyue, you two are here." Grandma stood up, wiped the tears from her face, and took Rongyue's hand and walked in front of the two middle-aged men.

"Rongyue, these are your parents. You were too young back then, so you may not have any impression of them. Now they are finally back, hurry up and call them." Grandma patted Rongyue, tears falling as she spoke.

"Rongyue...our Rongyue...is so big now..." The woman shed tears. She approached Rongyue and held her hand. Seeing Rongyue frowning and dazed, she raised her hand and was about to touch Rongyue's face.

Rongyue pushed away the woman's hand that was about to touch her face. She took back the woman's hand, then frowned and looked at the two people in front of her.

The woman seemed to have anticipated Rongyue's reaction. She wiped away the tears that were flowing more and more violently, and tried to calm herself down. "Rongyue, mom... knows that you..."

"Mom?" Rongyue interrupted the woman and looked at her. "I'm sorry, I don't know you."

"Rongyue! Don't say such things..." Grandma pulled Rongyue.

The woman looked at Rongyue's indifferent expression. She was already pretending to be calm, but her tears kept dripping from her cheeks like beads that were spilled.

The man put his arm around the woman's shoulders, his eyes fixed on Rongyue with tenderness and love. Even though Rongyue had said those words just now, he did not have the slightest intention of blaming her.

"Rongyue, your mother and I had no choice but to leave you and grandma behind. You blame us, and we understand. After all, no matter how you explain it, we have not fulfilled our responsibilities as parents to you. We owe you, and we will make it up to you..." The man stretched out his hand towards Rongyue.

Rongyue stepped back, avoiding the man's hand.

The man's hand was suspended in mid-air, and there was an obvious sense of loss in his eyes.

"Rongyue!" Grandma frowned and looked at Rongyue in confusion.

Mo Chen walked behind Rongyue and looked at Rongyue's parents.

"Grandma, uncle and aunt, let's sit down and talk."

Mo Chen pulled Rongyue and asked her to sit down. He looked at Rongyue, who frowned and lowered her eyes without looking at her parents.

The man helped the grandmother sit down, then went back to the woman and sat with her. He put his arm around the woman's shoulders, silently comforting her who was still crying.

"Rongyue, don't blame your parents. Didn't grandma tell you that they had no choice but to leave you young behind? Now they can come back and our family can be reunited. This is a good thing! You must learn to cherish it!" Grandma looked at Rongyue.

"Mom, let me explain to Rongyue." The man looked at grandma and then at Rongyue.

"Back then, when your mother and I left, you were only two years and six months old. You're right, you don't remember us at all." After looking at Rongyue, the man lowered his eyes and lost himself in memories.

"At first, Nangong Jianing discovered that I didn't show signs of premature aging or early death like the other people in the Nangong family. She approached your mother on purpose and learned from your mother that it was your mother who used some methods to keep me and your grandmother alive."

"Your mother's family has been proficient in the art of yin and yang since her ancestors. Her method is to extract spiritual energy from animals and then reconcile it with yang energy to make up for what we lack and achieve the effect of prolonging our lives. But in order not to harm these animals, your mother extracts a small amount every day, and accumulates it to use on me and your grandmother."

The woman calmed down and looked at Rongyue. "Until one day, Nangong Jianing took me away and asked me to use the same method to extend the lives of her and her people. I agreed. After all, your father is also from the Nangong family, so I can empathize with you. Seeing so many people from the Nangong family die at a young age, I couldn't bear it."

"But what I didn't expect was that she became more and more paranoid. There has always been a man who admires her by her side, Nangong Ling'an. That man has low moral character and is eager for quick success. After Nangong Jianing's marriage changed, she was deeply influenced by this man and began to force me to extract people's spiritual power, but I refused."

"Then they found a lot of people who were proficient in the art of yin and yang to help them, but those people only learned the basics. They harmed a lot of people but didn't gain much spiritual power. Later they..." The woman raised her eyes and looked at Rongyue... her voice choked...

"In order to force your mother to continue to work for them, they came and kidnapped you one night. When your mother and I found Nangong Jianing, her people were about to extract the spiritual power from you. You didn't know anything and could only sit there helplessly, crying for us, but those people were so cold-hearted that they wanted to lay hands on a baby." The man seemed to remember the situation at that time, and his eyes turned red.

"You have never been a crybaby since you were born, and you were very naughty... But that day you cried until your voice became hoarse, and they locked you in a dark room, crying for mommy and daddy... Mommy... Mommy was in sob... "The woman said, almost unable to speak.

The man also raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

Mo Chen listened to the woman's words and imagined the situation at that time. Since he had a daughter, he would feel distressed whenever Xiaoyu pouted when unhappy. Whenever Xiaoyu cried, he would agree to anything as long as she was happy. He really didn't dare to think if Xiaoyu was treated like that, would he completely lose his mind and kill someone.

No wonder Rongyue is afraid of the dark when she is stressed, so this is the reason. Mo Chen looked at Rongyue who lowered her head and remained silent, and he felt distressed.

There was silence for a while.

“…Later, Nangong Jianing promised me that as long as I went with her and worked for her, she would never touch you again. From then on, Nangong Jianing took her people to leave Jing City and go to a more secret place. So, your father handed you to your grandmother and left with me.” After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Mo Chen.

"Later, we met Mo Chen's parents. One of the reasons why Nangong Jianing left Beijing and hid her whereabouts was because she trapped Mo Chen's parents and her own lover. At that time, Nangong Ling'an had already realized that absorbing spiritual power could not only save his life, but also improve his own spiritual power. He became even more extreme. Harming others was not enough for him, so he started to attack his own people, so that he could absorb more spiritual power from them and eliminate dissidents."

"Because in the secret place of the forest, while your father and I were working for her, we secretly let go those people from the Nangong family who still had kind intentions. Mo Chen's mother..." The woman looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at the woman, his expression calm and gentle.

The woman continued, "Since Mo Chen's mother and I were in frequent contact, we talked about the grievances between her and Nangong Jianing. I really felt sorry for her, and from time to time I would secretly give her my hidden spiritual power to maintain her life. But she was tortured for too long, and I didn't dare to do it too obviously. She became weaker and weaker, and her cat state lasted longer and longer. When she was a human, she only remembered Mo Chen. I saw that she didn't have much time left and she missed Mo Chen very much. I felt the same way, so I discussed with your father to let her escape. Your father handed Mo Chen's mother to a member of the Nangong family that we let go before. They had already figured out the way out of the jungle, and they really took Mo Chen's mother out."

"But, I didn't expect... it was that time... that harmed Mo Chen and you... Nangong Jianing showed me your photo, and I knew that you almost died that time, and you lost your child... It was also that time that I knew that Nangong Jianing had already revealed your information to Mo Chen's grandfather, and she deliberately arranged for you and Mo Chen to be together... She deliberately took revenge on Mo Chen's parents, and calculated every one of us into it. Even her lover died of depression due to her torture."

"After that, she continued to threaten us with your safety." The man continued, "But your mother and I also realized that we can no longer sit and wait for death. We have to bring down Nangong Jianing and Nangong Lingan to truly protect you."

"Your mother then added something to their spiritual power, slowly making them weaker and weaker. I was already very familiar with Mo Chen's father at that time, so I secretly treated Mo Chen's father's injuries and waited for an opportunity for them to escape."

"But not long after, you were brought here by Nangong Jianing's people. She said that you seduced her son and wanted her son to follow his father's old path, so she captured you!" The man said, frowning and looking at Rongyue.

"Your mother found a way to contact Hao Weiran. To be honest, the reason why Hao Weiran knew you was because when Hao Weiran was very young, he was taken care of by Nangong Jianing for a while. He has a strange personality, but he has liked to follow your mother since he was a child. Your mother treats him very well. We really can't implicate a child because of the grudges of adults. Besides, Weiran is only a little older than you, and it's pitiful to have a mother like Nangong Jianing. Over time, he learned about you from your mother. After his father died, he was sent abroad. He came to see us after returning to China and brought us some photos of you, but we didn't know how he felt about you. Fortunately, he secretly left his contact information to your mother."

"When Hao Weiran brought people to rescue you, I took advantage of the chaos to set a fire, hoping that when someone came to rescue you, they would be able to locate you and find you quickly. Everything was in chaos the day you and Mo Chen's parents walked into the jungle. Your mother and I could have escaped in the chaos, but... we discussed and decided to go with Nangong Jianing, because as long as she and Nangong Lingan are not dead, you will never be safe."

"Mo Chen knows everything that happens afterwards..." The man looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen nodded, and he turned to Rong Yue, "My parents explained everything to me, and also mentioned your parents, so I secretly contacted my uncle and aunt, and joined forces with them to eradicate the Nangong Jianing clan."

Rongyue turned and looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen looked at Rong Yue and said, "The first step I took was to get you out of this matter safely. I don't want to see you get hurt again because of this. In fact, I hesitated and wanted to give up when I saw your appearance during this period, but when I knew you were pregnant again, I decided to follow the original plan and send someone to protect you secretly, so that you and the child can be safe."

"It was not until Nangong Ling'an died that my uncle, aunt, and I felt that the matter was finally over..."

"So, Rongyue, I said before, I have never let you go from beginning to end, and the things between your parents and my parents are not what you know, do you understand now..."

"Rongyue, grandma knows what Mo Chen's plan." Grandma looked at Rongyue.

Rongyue turned and looked at her grandmother.

"Do you remember the last time I had a heart attack? You ran around the hospital taking care of me with your belly bulging. Do you remember the day Xiaoxin and your grandfather found us and took us back home?"

Rongyue looked at her grandmother and nodded.

"Actually, Mo Chen was there that day. He explained to me everything he was going to do and told me about your parents' intentions and their plans. That's why I insisted that you come back with Xiao Xin and grandpa... In fact, Mo Chen and your parents are trying their best to protect you... You really shouldn't blame them..." Grandma said as she held Rongyue's hand.

Rongyue lowered her head and remained silent.

The woman looked at Rongyue. She stood up, walked to Rongyue, squatted down, and held Rongyue's hand. "Rongyue, Mom and Dad are looking forward to coming back to you and grandma one day. Can you... forgive us and let us make up for the loss of so many years?"

The woman's words were gentle and cautious.

Rongyue pulled back her hand and looked at the woman, "I don't blame you. You don't have to feel sorry for me or make up for me."

Rongyue stood up after saying this and said, "Have you finished what you need to say? If you're done, I want to go back."
