Chapter 1667: Are You Really Yunyao?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao said nothing and waited in silence. Jing Yunyao also felt that Meng Zhengde looked quite familiar.
“What’s wrong?” Meng Zhengde’s wife, Mrs. Meng ran to him when she saw that he suddenly stopped and looked shocked.
Meng Zhengde and his wife weren’t very old, and they often exercised, so they were both very healthy. When Mrs. Meng ran over, she saw Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao.
“Y-Y-Yun…” She had the same reaction as Meng Zhengde.
“A-Are you really Yunyao?” asked Meng Zhengde. Yunyao had passed away for 15 years, so he couldn’t believe the woman standing in front of him was exactly Yunyao although they looked the same. In addition, if Yunyao was still alive, she would be 50 years old, but the woman in his sight looked like she might be in her early thirties.
“Nice to see you, Housekeeper Meng, I am Yunyao,” said Jing Yunyao.
“Really? You look much younger,” said Mrs. Meng.
“She has taken good care of herself, so she looks much younger,” said Gu Ning at this moment. “Very nice to meet you, Mr. Meng, and Mrs. Meng. My name is Gu Ning, I’m Shaoting’s girlfriend.”
“What? You’re Lord Shaoting’s girlfriend?” Meng Zhengde and his wife turned to look at Gu Ning with doubt, because they didn’t know anything about Leng Shaoting’s personal affairs.
“Yeah, you can ask Shaoting to verify it if you don’t trust me,” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, Meng Zhengde and his wife nodded.
“Do you mean she’s really Yunyao?” asked Meng Zhengde again.
“Of course she is Yunyao, but she lost her memories, so she wants to visit places she used to live to see whether she can get her memories back,” said Gu Ning. “I haven’t told Shaoting yet, because we decided to share this news with him after Yunyao successfully gets her memories back. So, Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng, please keep it a secret.”
“Oh?” Meng Zhengde and his wife were still greatly surprised.
“Well, is it convenient for you to let me burn an incense stick for my adopted parents?” asked Jing Yunyao with sincerity.
Meng Zhengde exchanged a glance with his wife. Neither of them gave a response right away.
Although they still had doubts about Jing Yunyao’s identity, they tended to believe her, so they opened the gate for Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao.
Meng Zhengde guided them to the front hall, where there was a picture of Ye Zhengye and his wife hanging in the middle.
Jing Yunyao felt like crying when she saw the photo of Ye Zhengye and his wife. It was hard for her to control her feelings towards them.
Meng Zhengde and his wife lit incense sticks for Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao.
Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao took the incense sticks and Jing Yunyao said before they prayed to them, “Master Ye, Mistress Ye, I’m Jing Yunyao, your adopted daughter. I lost my memories in an accident 15 years ago, so I couldn’t remember you and I feel terribly sorry for that. I promise I’ll visit your graves once I get my memories back.”
After that, Jing Yunyao and Gu Ning bowed to the photo of Ye Zhengye and his wife three times before they inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.
Right after Jing Yunyao finished doing that, a picture flashed by her eyes. She saw a young man with a long knife chasing a middle-aged man in a narrow alley. The young man then picked up a wooden stick and threw it at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was hit heavily in the back and fell on the ground. When he tried to get back to his feet and continue to run away, it was too late, and the young man already raised the long knife in his hand. At this key moment, a young woman appeared out of blue and kicked the young man away.
Afterwards, another young man showed up and controlled the man who was kicked away.
The picture ended here, and Jing Yunyao had a feeling that she was the young woman in it.
He Qiming had said that Yunyao had saved Ye Zhengye’s life, so the middle-aged man in the picture could be Ye Zhengye.
Jing Yunyao was a cultivator, not a mortal, so she knew that there were many strange things which couldn’t be explained by science in this world. However, she was curious to know who the young man was. She was sure that the young man who appeared behind her was in the same group as her.
She decided to figure out what the picture meant.
“Was Master Ye chased by a young man with a knife in a narrow alley before? The young man hit him with a wooden stick and he fell, then a young woman appeared to save his life and kick the young man away?” Jing Yunyao asked Meng Zhengde all of a sudden.
Meng Zhengde was surprised and said, “Yes, you’re right!”
“Mother, did you get your memories back?” asked Gu Ning with excitement.
“No, a picture just flashed by my eyes,” said Jing Yunyao. Although she was a little disappointed, it was a good sign anyway.
Gu Ning nodded. “Great, it seems that familiar places indeed can help you remember something.”
