CHAPTER 1464 HIS CHILD
"He died at Heishan's hands and wasn't able to keep his twenty year promise," said Jiang Ning. "It happened just some days ago."
There was no such thing as a twenty year promise! A ball of fury rose in Jiang Ning's heart and began to burn!
All of this were lies! They were all lies!
Fang Ran didn't say anything. She let go of Jiang Ning's hand and stood without moving as if she had turned into a stone sculpture.
She didn't even ask further, as if she had already guessed that things would turn out like this.
Two rows of tears fell from the corner of her eyes to her chin and dripped quietly onto the floor.
"My deepest condolences."
Jiang Ning didn't know what he should say at all.
He could understand that sort of pain. He knew the pain of losing someone very important to himself. Jiang Ning was going through that himself now too.
But he knew that his pain couldn't be compared to Fang Ran's.
She had waited for his Master for twenty years!
These twenty years had passed by like only a day had passed. She dolled herself up carefully every day to make sure that time didn't age her, so that she would still look the same when she got to see He Daoren again.
She would still look good and beautiful.
"I want to take you away so that I can take care of you on behalf of Master and to be filial towards you," started Jiang Ning.
"This Fang clan..."
"I won't leave." Fang Ran's face was covered in tears but she shook her head. "I can't."
Jiang Ning was surprised.
Fang Ran refused to leave?
Fang Wei said earlier that he could take Fang Ran away, but if Fang Ran refused to leave, then that was Fang Ran's problem.
Did Fang Ran prefer to continue staying in this jail with no day and no night for the rest of her life?
"But..."
"I can't leave," Fang Ran shook her head again. She looked at Jiang Ning and her voice trembled, "I really can't leave. He's already dead...where can I go?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She laughed bitterly and squeezed a smile out. "I should have known that this would be how things ended. I should have known."
"What are you worried about?" asked Jiang Ning. "I want to take you away and nobody can stop me!"
DA DA DA!
Hurried footsteps could be heard coming from outside.
Fang Ran looked up. She knew someone like Fang Wei wouldn't let her leave so easily.
She had ruined the reputation of the clan, and Fang Wei had purposely kept her alive to serve as a warning to the rest of the clan!
"You'd better leave! My brother isn't someone who will agree to such a thing so easily, especially since you're his disciple!" said Fang Ran hurriedly. "Hurry up and go now!"
"I must take you away, I promised Master." Jiang Ning shook his head resolutely.
"I can't leave!" Fang Ran got even more anxious when she heard more footsteps approaching. "My child...my child is still in the Fang house! My child with your Master is still in the Fang house!"
Jiang Ning's head nearly exploded.
His Master had a child?
He had never heard He Daoren talk about this before.
"He didn't know," said Fang Ran through her tears. "After we were separated, I realized that I was pregnant, but...my brother took my child away. I must find him! So I can't leave with you, can you understand now?"
"Hurry up and leave!" She clenched her teeth and took a deep breath. "I know you're doing this for my good and I know you're a good disciple of his. But I can't leave. Thank you for telling me about him."
Fang Ran shook her head.
Jiang Ning didn't expect He Daoren to have a child, and worse still, Fang Ran didn't even know where the child was.
"I'm a member of the Fang family, so no matter how heartless my brother is, he won't kill me. But if I were to leave..." Fang Ran's tears continued to run down her face uncontrollably. "What is my child going to
do?"
