Chapter 986 Medicinal Herb Bath
A faint beam of light shone into the darkness.
Ye Fan regained consciousness after he had slept for a long time.
He slowly opened his eyes. The sunlight shone into the room through the window blinds and cast a
rainbow of colors onto the floor.
"Where am I..."
Ye Fan was experiencing a moment of memorypse.
His listless eyes looked at his surroundings.
The room was very simply furnished, yet one could tell they had been through some history.
There was a vintage-looking table and chairs in front of him, while a few portraits of China''s forefathers
hung on the wall.
A radio that was ying hits from the 90s was ced on a table by the side.
Ye Fan remembered standing in front of that radio and listening to a female singer with a very sweet
voice. She sang a very popr song called "Returning Home”.
There was a grandfather clock that hung on the wall above the radio.
The ticking sound from the clock''s pendulum was once part of Ye Fan''s childhood.
Ye Fan was astounded at the familiar yet foreign ce he was in.
For a moment, it felt like he had gone back to his past.
It was in this small house that an elderlydy in her 70s stayed by his side and took care of him
throughout his childhood.
Years had since passed and Ye Fan, now an adult and married, was sitting in this same room. When
his gaze fell on the furnishings, it felt like he was looking back in time at himself when he was only a
young child, going about doing various things in the same room.
It brought back beautiful memories of his growing up years when he was so carefree.
Nothing had changed here.
Everything was still the same.
When Ye Fan looked at the vintage radio, grandfather clock and everything else in this room that was
so familiar to him, he became overwhelmed and choked with emotions.
"Cry if you feel like it, silly boy. Your great grandmother''s ce will always be your safe harbor," a kindly
voice sounded suddenly in his ears.
Ye Fan looked up as an unassuming olddy walked through the door.
The moment he saw her, all the emotions that Ye Fan had been suppressing broke loose.
He rushed into her arms just like when he was a young child.
Ye Fan could not speak as he bawled his eyes out in the arms of his great grandmother.
Chen Ao and the rest would have been shocked by this scene if they were here.
Who would have thought that a man who oncemanded all of Jiangdong and topped the list of the
powerful in Japan would one day be crying like a baby in the arms of an olddy?
But if one thought about it carefully, there was nothing really surprising about Ye Fan''s actions.
After all, Ye Fan was only a youth who had just turned 20 not long ago. Others at his age would
probably still be a student in school.
No matter how strong a youth in his early 20s appeared to be, he would still be considered a child in
the eyes of his elders.
Besides, humans were bound to have vulnerabilities. This was regardless of one''s age or strength.
Sometimes, in the dark of the night and under the influence of alcohol, even a man in his 40s would be
wailing out loud on a friend''s shoulder.
Life could be difficult.
No matter how strong and independent a person was, there would be times when things became too
much to bear and would cause emotional breakdowns.
It has happened to Qiu Mu-Cheng in the past and now, the same happened to Ye Fan.
It was far more heart-rending when an adult went through an emotional breakdown.
This was what Old Madam Chu experienced as she heard the heartbreaking cries from the youth in her
arms.
She could guess what Ye Fan went through even without him saying anything.
This silly boy must have had suffered a lot all these years. Otherwise, her Fan would not have fallen
apart like this.
Ye Fan finally stopped crying after he let all his pent-up emotions out.
Ye Fan had suffered too much all these years.
He had suffered humiliation as he grew up among the members of the n.
His n threw him out of the Chu family together with his mother subsequently.
Ye Fan had thought that his nightmare was over once he had left the Chu family.
But he was wrong. A worse nightmare had begun for him instead.

Ten years. The Chu family had tried to kill him for ten years.
He had lived on the edge for the past ten years.
It had never urred to Ye Fan that even his uncle would try to kill him personally.
Ye Fan was perplexed by how much these people seemed to hate him and couldn''t wait to have him
killed.
Ye Fan had not shed a single tear in the past, no matter how tough life was.
To him, tears were only meant for the weak!
But in front of his great grandmother, Ye Fan could safely remove his facade and reveal his true self to
her.
It was simply because Ye Fan trusted his great grandmother the most.
Ye Fan wouldn''t be where he was if not for his great grandmother.
It was clear that Ye Fan''s injuries really broke her heart. Reаd at Dramanovеls
When she first saw Ye Fan lying at the gate, Old Madam Chu found it hard to believe that this youth
who was so badly injured and on the brink of death was the same mischievous boy who loved to run
around in the courtyard.
She has lived for so many years and had been through life''s many ups and downs, but she hardly ever
saw anyone with injuries to this extent.
"Ok." Ye Fan said while nodding his head.
He followed the instructions given by his great grandmother and stepped into a wooden tub filled with
medicinal herbs.
deal."
"Alright now, just soak in this bath for now. We will talk when you feel betterter." Old Madam Chu had
to hold back her questions as Ye Fan had just woken up and was feeling weak. He needed more rest.
She would ask her questions when he felt better in a few days.
"I would like to know who is the person who had the audacity to do this to the eldest grandchild of the
Chu family!" Old Madam Chu muttered to herself with an icy look in her eyes.
