Chapter 498 The Past
“William, how’s this ce? Some of my friends said that this is the best area in J City. Since a friend of
mine has some connections with the developer, I asked him to save it for me in the first ce.” Oven
took the three to his residence.
It was awesome indeed to have such a vi with beautiful scenery in such a luxurious ce in J City.
The location of Oven’s residence was the best in the whole area.
Although his residence was much smaller in floor spacepared with William’s manor in Jin’an, its
decoration looked extremely luxurious. Noticing that even a small article was as exquisite as a work of
art, Vivian realized that William’s brother was a man of great wealth.
It seemed that someone like Oven was really the son of a wealthy family whenpared to others.
“That’s good.” William nodded expressionlessly.
Oven was quite pleased, as if William’s appreciation was a great honor to him.
“William, if you like, I’ll get one for you. In this way, we’ll be neighbors. It’s so good!” Oven was in high
spirits.
William shook his head, “I am not going to settle down here. I juste back with your sister-inw
and your nephew to visit our families.”
Oven was a little surprised and he looked somewhat hesitant and uncertain. He did not say anything
finally on ount of the presence of Vivian.
Then he treated the family of three for a good dinner. Roe got sleepy earlier because of the tiredness
on the ne. Vivian took Roe to sleep. Then Oven poured a ss of wine for William.
“William, what’s your n? Are you really not going back to J City?” Oven asked seriously.
William confirmed his words.
“But grandpa expects you toe back. Although your father did not say it out, we’re all clear that it is
easy for him to pave you a road as long as youe back, since he has some connections with the
military headquarter.” Oven rubbed the ss in his hand, and no one could figure out his thoughts.
William dropped his eyes, “I would have done it if I want to, instead of waiting until now. Oven, there are
quite a lot in the Lu Family who can shoulder the responsibility, so I don’t have to take that position.”
“Are you serious?”
“Partly.” He seemed to think of something and smiled.
Oven squinted, “William, could you tell me your ideas?”
“Haven’t you guessed it?” William said.
Oven was surprised, “For the sake of your wife?”
“I have said. Partly.” William looked serious, “I may note back to J City even if it’s not for the sake
of Vivian. I’m not a man who likes to be bound. Of course, there is someone in Jin’an City now that I
am concerned about.”
It seemed that Oven was thinking of his words, and there were some obscurity, ignorance and
confusion in his eyes.
When William was about to get impatient finally, Oven asked, “Why not let Vivian stay in J City?”

William looked at Oven seriously and said, “Oven, there are always someone in the world who regard
the birth as something more important than anything else. Even though Vivian will be a young
can ask my wife to change for me to integrate into another environment, but I can’t stand seeing her
suffer.”
Oven’s eyes were red and his voice trembled slightly, “William…”
“Oven, I say this just to show my attitude, but everything should be analyzed case by case. Your
situation is different from mine. It’s time for you to let it go after all these years.” William paused and
then spoke seriously.
Oven smiled bitterly. He looked up and held back his tears. Then his expression turned normal after a
while.
He pretended to smile at William in a rxed tone, “What are you talking about? I am just touched by
the affection between you and your wife. I don’t remember the past at all!”
“Well.” William was silent for a second before he said so.
Then William got up and patted Oven on the shoulder, “Have a good rest ande with me to visit
grandpa.”
Oven lowered his head and responded after a long time, “All right.”
Oven only prepared one room for Vivian and William, and now Vivian was hesitant where she should
stay for the night.
But considering she had responded to Oven’s appetion of sister-inw, she thought she would be
considered as hypocritical if she really made the proposal to stay in another room.
At this time, William came in.
“Why are you still up?” Loosening the bow tie around his neck, William felt a little tired.
Holding her pajamas in her arms, Vivian looked hesitant and did not know what to do.
William nced at her and smiled, “Take a bath and go to bed. I’m very tired today. I won’t do anything.
Don’t worry.”
Seen through her thoughts by William, Vivian blushed immediately, then she red at him, “You’re
crazy!” Then she went to the bathroom.
When the two finished washing up and lying on the bed, Vivian asked doubtfully,
“Is your brother preferred by your grandpa? How could he be so rude to your grandpa?” Vivian could
only think of such an answer.
William was amazed that he stopped his movement of wiping his hair, then he answered, “Nope.
Grandpa used to love me most, but it’s a pity that I’m not good enough. Now grandpa is rarely involved
in the affairs in our family, and we’re all grown-ups. It was pointless to care about such thing as who he
loves most.”
“Ah…” Vivian was in a trance and she said in a low voice, “Then, he has a grudge against your
grandpa?”
“So nosy?” William teased.
Vivian pouted, “I just want to know more about your grandpa. I am going to visit him, and he was a
Marshal. But you, as his grandson cannot understand my feeling as amoner, who will meet the
legendary hero.”
“Don’t worry, he is just a bad-tempered old man with great vision. When you know him well, you’ll not
think like that.” William sat on the bed and said expressionlessly.
Vivian red at him, “I find that you and your brother don’t respect him at all. How unfilial you are!”
William was surprised, “Am I?” Then heughed at ease, “Maybe. But the definition of it is different
depending on the family background. He scolded me when I chose to study as awyer in Jin’an City
instead of entering a military academy.”
