Life's journey is long and slow.
The Song Family's interrogation was late in coming.
In the living room, Song Sizhi dispelled Jiang Muwan's awkwardness in a few words, as well as the knot in Ya Ying's heart.
Those still entangled and weighing their options stopped speaking upon hearing Song Sizhi's harsh and intolerable words.
Where there was intervention, there was speech.
To Jiang Muwan, the question "Have you eaten?" felt like a refreshing rain after a long drought, soothing body and soul.
The emotions suppressed for days suddenly found release in her heart.
That night, as the old master pushed the door open and saw Jiang Muwan standing in the living room, he stalled, causing Song Rong, who followed in, to falter in her steps.
Not until a voice called out "Grandpa."
Song Rong's heart skipped a beat, only to see the old master nod and ask gently, "You're back?"
This "You're back?" was more terrifying than any interrogation.
