Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Meng Jin’s Past (Second Update)

Until Meng Jin walked away, Tang Yue finally came to her senses and asked, "Sister An Yu, who was that?"

Meng Jin, dressed in a white shirt, carried an air of demeanor whether while walking or talking. His face bore the authority of someone long accustomed to being in a high position. His face looked somewhat familiar to Tang Yue, yet she couldn’t quite place him.

What shocked Tang Yue the most was Meng Jin’s temples frosted with white hair. He didn’t appear to be very old, so why had his hair turned so white?

"Uncle Meng, he is the nominal father of Meng Yanzhi, and he manages all the mechanical research and development for the Meng Family," explained Qin Anyu earnestly. "Xiao Yue, you don’t have to worry now. With Uncle Meng’s influence, Meng Yanzhi won’t dare to touch you."

"How old is he then?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but ask.

"In his forties, I believe," Qin Anyu wasn’t quite sure, only knowing he was about the same age as her father. She added, "You’re asking about his white hair, aren’t you? Actually, Uncle Meng has had a very tough life these years."

"Ah," whenever Qin Anyu mentioned Meng Jin, especially when she was with Tang Yue, Qin Anyu found it difficult to keep her thoughts to herself.

Qin Anyu led Tang Yue back to her room, where a small table was set up on the spacious balcony with pastries and tea.

"Xiao Yue, Uncle Meng is truly a man of deep affection," Qin Anyu opened up, unable to keep her thoughts hidden any longer. She continued, "I heard from my parents that Uncle Meng had a wife, but they were separated during the war. For so many years, Uncle Meng has been searching for his wife."

"And Meng Yanzhi..." Tang Yue asked timely.

Qin Anyu sighed, "After searching for several years with no news, Uncle Meng’s state hasn’t been good. Grandpa Meng, fearing for his well-being, adopted a child from a different branch of the Meng family, and that was Meng Yanzhi, under Meng Shuhan’s name."

"All these years have gone by in the blink of an eye," Qin Anyu tried hard to recall. She said, "Actually, everyone is guessing whether Uncle Meng’s wife might already be no more, but Uncle Meng doesn’t believe that. He still sends people to search for her every year."

"In that era, it wouldn’t have been easy for a woman to survive, right?" Tang Yue felt a sigh in her heart. To search for that slim glimmer of hope for over twenty years, how deeply must he have loved his wife?

Meng Jin, in his pristine white shirt and frosty white hair at his temples, along with his authoritative and somewhat familiar face, always stirred an indescribable emotion in Tang Yue’s heart.

Such a devoted man, what kind of adopted son had he raised...

"Are you thinking about Meng Yanzhi?" Qin Anyu seemed to read Tang Yue’s mind. She explained, "Actually, Meng Yanzhi was only nominally adopted under Uncle Meng’s name. In reality, it was Grandpa Meng who raised him. I remember it seems when Meng Yanzhi was about four or five years old, Uncle Meng started managing the mechanical research and development, and over these years, he would only come back once or twice a year."

Tang Yue: "..."

"Meng Yanzhi, ever since he was young, has been like a little overlord. And isn’t that because Grandpa Meng doted on him and always had his back?" Qin Anyu didn’t like Meng Yanzhi; she never had much affection for him since childhood.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Qin Anyu was about to change the subject when suddenly she spotted a car entering—it was the Chu Family’s.

Qin Anyu pulled Tang Yue and headed inside the house.

"Isn’t that Chu Xuan?" Tang Yue keenly noted.

"Yes," Qin Anyu nodded. The car parked outside the courtyard, and Chu Xuan, dressed neatly, came over. Grandpa Qin had just woken up from his afternoon nap and was very enthusiastic in welcoming Chu Xuan inside.

Qin Anyu secretly moved to the staircase, listening to the conversation between Chu Xuan and Grandpa Qin in the living room.

It was generally about the marriage arrangement between the two families.
