"What's wrong with him?"

Seeing that Huo Yancheng did not continue, Tang Li immediately asked.

To demonstrate his meticulousness, Huo Yancheng, after careful examination, stated with certainty:

“I met this uncle not long ago. He has changed a lot compared to before. The only thing that hasn’t changed is that he is still single after all these years.”

Still single?

These four words greatly piqued Tang Li's interest.

"Shouldn't their generation have embraced the ideas of not getting married or being childless?"

For example, Sheng Chaosheng.

He remained unmarried his entire life because there was someone he couldn't let go of in his heart.

Could it be that this uncle also harbors feelings for a woman who once captivated him, making all subsequent women seem bland and uninteresting to him, as if they were nothing at all?

Huo Yancheng scratched his head:

“I don’t know the specifics. He suddenly appeared, and I heard that he came for my older brother. He came straight to my house and looked very fierce. My mother sent my sister and me away and even stood guard at the door to prevent us from eavesdropping. Only this uncle and my father had a fight in the study.”

quarrel?

Appeared suddenly?

Tang Li quickly recalled what had happened during this period and pinpointed the key point:

"Is it because your eldest brother resigned from his position as president of the Huo Group that the uncle thinks your Huo family is bullying people, so he came to our door?"

Huo Yancheng nodded in surprise:

“Sister-in-law, now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense. But I don’t know the specifics. I only know that every year during the Qingming Festival, that uncle goes to pay respects to Aunt Haitang.”

He would go to pay his respects every year, and he never married.

This could very well be another lovelorn person.

Tang Li asked secretly:

"Chengcheng, didn't you ever have any doubts?"

"What do you suspect?"

Although Huo Yancheng didn't understand Tang Li's meaning, his curiosity was already bursting.

"Of course he suspects your older brother's background. He's already announced to the world that he's not related to your father by blood, but he couldn't have just popped out of a rock, could he?"

Huo Yancheng suddenly realized:

"Sister-in-law, you don't mean to think this uncle is related to my older brother..."

Huo Yancheng lowered his voice and whispered in Tang Li's ear:

Do you think they are father and son?

Tang Li countered with a question:

"Haven't you thought about that?"

To be honest, Huo Yancheng had never thought about this before Tang Li gave such a hint.

But after Tang Li said that, Huo Yancheng decisively took out his phone and showed it to Tang Li:

“That day, after my uncle had a big argument with my dad in the study, he felt a little unwell and couldn’t drive home by himself, so I took him. I know where he lives and I even got his contact information. I thought that since he lives alone, he could call me immediately if he felt unwell, after all, he is an old friend of Aunt Haitang.”

Xiao Chengcheng is quite kind.

Now that they had each other's contact information, Tang Li urged:

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and start investigating! You don't know, do you? Your older brother has been investigating his origins, trying to find his biological father. If you help him find him, wouldn't that be..."

A great achievement.

These were the four words Tang Li originally wanted to say.

But Huo Yancheng seemed a little sad:

“Actually, I’ve always considered him my own brother. I always felt that he would definitely be a blood relative of the Huo family. But that’s the truth. I can’t prevent my brother from acknowledging his family just because of my own personal feelings. But sister-in-law, how should I bring this up with this uncle? I can’t just ask him right away, ‘Do you have a biological son named Huo Chenyu?’”

Pfft~

Of course you can't ask that.

Tang Li thought about it carefully, and a terrible idea popped into his mind:

"Or you could pretend to be heartbroken and call this uncle to ask him out."

Huo Yancheng shook his head hastily:

"That won't do. My uncle just asked me if I have a girlfriend."

Tang Li sighed:

"Then tell me you had a fight with your dad and want to find someone to have a drink with to cheer you up."

Huo Yancheng waved his hand:

"Sister-in-law, this matter cannot be rushed. Let me consider it carefully. I don't want to scare the uncle."

Tang Li patted his shoulder:

"Your brother's background depends entirely on you. Just keep this in mind. If you need anything from me, tell me right away. Your sister-in-law will be your strong support."

Huo Yancheng suddenly shivered.

He always felt that his sister-in-law had ulterior motives.

But no evidence could be found.

As luck would have it, after returning from the hospital, Huo Yancheng received a call from his uncle's neighbor before he even got home. The neighbor said that Huo Yancheng had suffered a sudden heart attack and had been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Huo Yancheng immediately turned around and headed to the hospital, calling Tang Li right away.

Tang Li was telling stories to Grandpa Sheng in the hospital room to keep him entertained when she received the call, so she quickly made an excuse to leave.

Because of her leg problems, she was driving, and since Yunxi happened to be shopping at a mall that was very close to the hospital, he picked her up and they went to the hospital where the uncle was.

On the way, Tang Li saw Yunxi shopping alone, and buying mostly men's items, so he couldn't help but ask her out of curiosity:

"Where's your sweetheart? As the perfect boyfriend, why isn't he accompanying you, his girlfriend, shopping?"

Yunxi sighed:

"Don't even mention it. That night, after Gu Ming went back from my place, he inexplicably tripped and fell in front of his house and broke his leg."

Did you trip and fall?

A fracture?

It was that very night?

What a coincidence!

How could a grown adult break their leg by tripping and falling in front of their own house?
