《Rebirth of Fa Wei Lan》Chapter 2: New Family Name
Advertisement
On the day I left with grandfather, I packed a few set of clothes, my father's private business journals, and my mother's favorite crystal green jade tea pot set. Everything else in the mansion, I left to the Zhou Family - for my uncles who I knew would fight for ownership. I left before I was caught in the middle of the family feud.
"Li is the head servant of the house; let him know if you need anything at the Fa Mansion"
I tilted my head politely to the gentle-looking old man in the plain brown robe sitting across from my grandfather. In return, Li bowed his head low as he lifted the curtains of the carriage for grandfather and me.
"Please grandfather, do not worry about me."
I didn't have much with me which is why grandfather is worried. But it would be a mistake for me to take anything more - especially things which did not belong to me. They belong to my father and mother - more importantly they belong to the Zhou Family. I was no longer a Zhou but it doesn't mean I'm truly a Fa either. I couldn't be shameless as to be spoil by my grandfather who I rarely interact with. I lost that right a long time ago. Now, all I could do is not to cause any trouble for him.
"Wei Lan"
I was lost in thoughts and staring at the floor with the small bag tightly in my arms when grandfather was talking to me.
"Y_ yes grandfather"
I looked up at grandfather face for the first time, I clearly saw how refined and handsome he was. In that moment, I realized that mother and I inherited his light brown eyes.
"Why did you want to leave the Zhou? To give up your family lineage is unnecessary..."

I understood his concern. I knew my request had startled him because in the past, I had refused to go visit him. Again, I felt ashamed and embarrassed by my childish and spoil attitude.
"I'm sorry grandfather. It_ it was arrogant of me to take your name without permission. I will be careful from now on in front of others"
"Child" He Long sighed softly. "You misunderstood. I am not upset that you take my family name, but you shouldn't have disregard your father's family name - the name you were born with"
"Father will not be upset" This I am sure. "Father had always loved mother's name - Fa Su Lan..."
Somehow, my comment made grandfather smile.
"Fa Wei Lan"
Grandfather chuckled softly as he said my name. Seeing his smile, I felt as if I was accepted.

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES]She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that.----------------------------------------------------#No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021#No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021#No.8 in murder 2/8/2021Updates weekly!
