Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Li Qingcheng’s Childhood

Several hours later, Lin Dong, Li Qingcheng, and Liu Chuanqi arrived outside the Gong Clan mansion.

After receiving a call from Li Qingcheng at the Demon City Library, Lin Dong immediately went to find Li Qingcheng and Liu Chuanqi.

After they met up, the three set off for the Gong family together.

En route, Li Qingcheng also explained to Lin Dong the reason the Gong family had invited her.

”The Gong family said they wanted to apologize to our father and daughter, expressing regret for what happened back then,” she said.

”And furthermore, Gong Wu also said that he wanted to allow my mother’s spirit position to return to our ancestry.”

Liu Chuanqi took over the conversation from here.

He sighed, saying, ”Back then, Qingcheng’s mother sacrificed too much to be with me. At that time, Qingcheng’s maternal grandfather was still alive, and both Gong Wu and her grandfather disagreed with her marrying me.”

”They even declared that if she insisted on marrying me, they would disown her as their daughter and deny her Gong family identity.”

”Although it was very painful for Qingcheng’s mother, to be with me, she left the Gong family. But after leaving the Gong family, she longed for their recognition, wishing for her father, her brother, and everyone in the Gong family to acknowledge her, me, and Qingcheng.”

”That time, the elders of the Gong family and Qingcheng’s grandfather gave a condition. That was, if Qingcheng’s mother could cultivate to the level of a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, they would allow her to return to ancestry.”

”From then on, Qingcheng’s mother kept practicing martial arts, hoping that through effort and strength, our family would be recognized by the Gong family and be able to return...”

”But unexpectedly, what happened later would occur.”

”After her death, the Gong family was also unwilling to let Qingcheng’s mother’s spirit position enter the mansion.”

As he spoke, Liu Chuanqi pounded his own leg in agony, saying, ”It’s all my fault for being useless!”

Li Qingcheng also bit her teeth and said:

”Mother’s greatest wish then was to be acknowledged again by the Gong family, to return to our ancestry.”

”Now, after so many years, her wish can finally be fulfilled. Although I think the Gong family isn’t worth acknowledging by mother, that was, after all, her greatest wish in life. I still want to help her fulfill it.”

Having said this, Li Qingcheng looked at Lin Dong with gratitude and said:

”Young brother, I know that the Gong family’s agreement, their initiative to allow my mother’s spirit position to return to our ancestry, must definitely be because of you.”

”Your strength has made the Gong family lower their stature and curry favor with you.”

”Brother, for your sister’s sake, will you accompany me on this journey, please?”

Lin Dong nodded, feeling deep inside that the situation might not be so simple.

But at that moment he didn’t say anything more.

After the three got out of the car, they arrived at the Gong Clan manor gate.

The Gong Clan mansion has a history of several centuries, an ancient mansion with historical charm, surrounded by a three-meter-tall red wall. Although not very large in area, in ancient times it was also considered a wealthy family compound.

Living with a few hundred people shouldn’t be a problem.

To enter, there was only the redwood gate.

At the moment, there were two martial artists guarding the redwood gate.

Li Qingcheng stared at the Gong Clan mansion, lost in her thoughts.

”I remember when I was three years old, my mother took me here once. I recall that day was my maternal grandfather’s sixtieth birthday.”

”Mother brought me along to wish grandfather a happy birthday. However, they wouldn’t let us enter. So mother pulled me along, knelt before grandfather, pleading with him to let us in to celebrate his birthday.

”But grandfather, he still didn’t want to let us in. That day there was a light rain, and my mother and I knelt at the Gong Clan manor gate in the rain until the birthday banquet was over, and they still didn’t invite us in.”

”Moreover, from beginning to end, they didn’t even glance at us! As if one more look would bring him shame.”

”My mother had also prepared a gift for grandfather, knowing that he was devout to Buddha, she had spent many nights carving a Buddha statue from a wooden root, intending to give it to him as a birthday gift.”

”But in the end, that Buddha statue was thrown into the trash bin. I will never forget the look of disappointment and pain on my mother’s face that day...”

Liu Chuanqi’s eyes also turned red as he listened. In his lifetime, he owed too much to Li Qingcheng’s mother.

If it weren’t for him, Li Qingcheng’s mother wouldn’t have suffered such hardships.

Lin Dong also sighed. Why did these wealthy families have to insist on matching of social status?

If a daughter has found the man she loves and wants to marry him, what’s wrong with that?

Why be so heartlessly cruel?

Come on, it was his daughter and granddaughter coming to wish him happy birthday. His daughter and granddaughter both knelt for him, yet he remained so cold-hearted.

Even someone with a heart of iron and stone wouldn’t be so callous, would they?

”Mom, do you see? Over twenty years ago, we knelt down to beg them, and they were unwilling to let us enter. But now, they want to invite us back.”

”Mom, your daughter is about to make them bring your spirit position back to the Gong Clan.”

”This time, your return to ancestry isn’t you begging them, but them inviting you.”

She clenched her fist and murmured to herself.

Just then, the gate opened.

Gong Wu, smiling warmly, walked out from inside.

”Qingcheng, you’ve arrived. Please, come in, come in.”
