The Man In Rage novel Chapter 985

Even though Ye Fan had been away for most of his life, the old lady in this house had remained on his mind and in his heart all this while. She was his safe harbor.

His time spent with the Chu family had been a painful childhood that Ye Fan never wished to speak of.

He hated everyone in the Chu family.

His father. His grandfather. His uncle.

This so-called family was but a herd of pigs in Ye Fan's eyes.

They had given Ye Fan nothing but their scorn and mockery.

There had been only one exception.

That was the Old Madam Chu, the old lady who had remained in the old family house and had kept solitary watch over the house.

When Ye Fan had been born, his mother Ye Xi-Mei and his father Chu Zheng-Hong had still been working for the Chu family

business in China.

His parents had been overwhelmed with work and had no time to take care of him.

Ye Fan had been sent to the Chu family's old family house and placed under the care of Old Madam Chu.

Ye Fan's great grandmother was the only elder in the Chu family to share a deep bond with Ye Fan.

In fact, she had been the one who had given Ye Fan his name.

She had everything to do with Ye Fan's greatest secret—his possession of the Book of Celestial Cloud.

Ye Fan's achievements were largely due to her efforts.

Those few years spent with the old lady had transformed Ye Fan's life and shaped his future.

Ye Fan would never forget the tears in the old lady's eyes the day Chu Zheng-Hong had brought him and his mother back to the family.

He would run to his great grandmother weeping when he had been bullied by the others.

Old Madam Chu would do what she had done when Ye Fan had first learned to walk. She would pull him into her arms, brush his hair and speak to him in a soft, comforting manner.

"Fan, your great grandmother knows that the rest of the family disapprove of you and want you gone. But it's alright. Your great grandmother is on your side. I have your back."

"I chose you. You're the only one in your generation to have a 'Tian' in your name. No one can change that fact. Not even your horrible grandfather can do anything about it."

"Fan, you can hate your grandfather, your uncle and your other relatives. But you can't hate the entire Chu family clan. You can't hate our ancestors. The blood of the Chu family and our ancestors flow inside you. You would not be here without their sacrifice. Neither would your father nor the power and prestige that the Chu family enjoys today. Without their sacrifice, you would not possess the limitless power that you will have when you grow up. Remember, no matter what happens, always remember. Your family name is Chu. It was passed down from your ancestors. One day, you will find out the power that lies behind that family name."

"Remember, Fan. No matter where you go, no matter what obstacles you face, you will always have a home and a safe harbor at your great grandmother's place. As long as I'm around, I'll protect you from harm. Nothing will touch you."

Those had been the words that the old lady had uttered to him during his last visit after he had been cast out from the Chu family.

In Ye Fan's memories, his great grandmother had been a godlike figure who could do anything.

She had the power to make withered plants blossom, make the waters rise in riverbeds that had dried out, and bring life back to dead dogs and cats.

She had been the one whom he would run to as a child whenever he had been faced with a setback.

No matter the problem that had confronted him, it would be easily solved as soon as his great grandmother got to it.

The kind old lady glowed with a heavenly light in Ye Fan's memories.

She had seemed invincible.

The reliance that he had developed since he had been a child could be the reason why he was here now. At his most despairing and hopeless moment, Ye Fan had chosen to return to the place where his first memories had been made and where his dream had begun.

Within the ancient mansion, everything appeared peaceful and quiet.
