“Linlang, I’m sorry. 20 years ago, I rushed over to look for you as soon as I received your letter, but I was too late.”
Ye Linlang stretched out her hand to wipe away Du Juan’s tears.
She whispered, “We are finally reunited…”
“I’ve grown old…”
Du Juan smiled self-deprecatingly. Not only was she older now, but she had also gotten sick. She was no longer the young girl that they remembered.
“What about me? I don’t even have my own face anymore.”
Even now, whenever Ye Linlang looked into the mirror, she would see an unfamiliar face. At times, she would be so confused and stare at that strange face looking back at her. She just could not recognize it. It took her some time before she realized it was still her face.
“Linlang, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime. I didn’t expect God to be so merciful to me. I am so fortunate to be able to reunite with you again.”
Ye Linlang raised her eyebrows and broke into a contented smile.
“Aren’t we together now? Du Juan, thank you for treating my daughter so well.”
Ye Linlang learned from Grandmother last night that Ye Tianxin could not find a place to stay when she brought Grandmother to see a doctor. Du Juan was the one who let them have a room. She even gave them some money so Grandmother could seek medical treatment.
Du Juan explained, “I didn’t even know Tianxin was your daughter at that time. Honestly, you two don’t look alike. Come to think of it, though, Tianxin must have inherited the best traits from you and Xie Xuning. Although she doesn’t look like you, there are still some similarities between mother and daughter. Linlang, you have a wonderful daughter.”
Du Juan held on to Ye Linlang’s hands tightly.
Ye Linlang looked at Jin Xin who was sitting beside Du Juan. She asked, “Is this your husband?”
“Yes. This is my husband, Jin Xin. Oh right, Linlang, we are getting married on February 14th. Will you attend our wedding?”
Ye Linlang replied, “Yes, I am free that day.”
“Do you want to be my bridesmaid? Do you remember how we agreed to be each other’s bridesmaid many years ago?”
Ye Linlang shook her head. “Let Tianxin be your bridesmaid. I’m too old to be your bridesmaid now. Du Juan, your happiness is the most important.”
Du Juan did not know why Ye Linlang refused to be her bridesmaid, but she knew Ye Linlang must have had her reasons.
“All right, I will ask my goddaughter to be my bridesmaid instead.”
Although the two best friends had been apart for 20 years, there was no awkwardness between them. Instead, they were very comfortable with each other and chatted away merrily.
Jin Xin saw that it was a happy reunion and decided to let Du Juan remain at Lang Garden. He told them he had some matters to attend to and took his leave.
Worried, Du Juan said, “Be careful while driving.”
Jin Xin nodded. “Yes, I know. I’ll pick you up later.”
He was indeed very busy. There was a lot to prepare for the wedding.
She was the love of his life. He wanted to give her a memorable wedding. He did not want her to have any regrets in her life.
“All right. Be careful on the road.”
Now that Du Juan could keep Ye Linlang company, Ye Tianxin was relieved. She could get ready to meet Li Qingcang.
“Godmother, do spend more time with Mother and relieve your good old days. I am going out for a date.” Ye Tianxin was all dressed up.
Du Juan smiled, “Is Mr. Li back today?”
“Yes, he’s back. We are going on a date later, but he has gone out with Dad.. I have to wait for them to come back.”
