The surname Xi is uncommon.

But Tang Li's reaction was far too obvious.

Before Zhao Wenxun could even ask a question, Shen Linfeng became excited:

"Do you know Teacher Xi?"

It really is Teacher Xi Haitang.

Tang Li had only said it casually, but she didn't expect it to be so accurate, so she boldly asked again:

"The one who saved Teacher Xi must have been Uncle Sheng."

Shen Linfeng was extremely surprised:

"That happened thirty years ago. Back then, you were still in heaven waiting in line to choose your mother. How do you know about these things?"

You guessed right again!

Tang Li suddenly felt more at ease.

Sheng Chaosheng is very likely Huo Chenyu's biological father!

"Lili, what's wrong with you...?"

Zhao Wenxun was completely bewildered.

The same applies to the Beijing-Kowloon Railway.

Faced with their questioning looks, Tang Li smiled casually:

"It's nothing. I've been accompanying Uncle Sheng in the hospital lately. As you know, once people get older, they like to reminisce about the past. So when Uncle Sheng mentioned his time teaching in a rural area when he was young, I asked him casually, and it turned out to be true."

Zhao Wenxun grasped the key points:

"You're in the hospital? What's wrong with you? How come it's so serious? I heard you were bullied by Song Xiling when you were in Lucheng. Where is Song Xiling? Call her out, I'll help you get revenge."

Jingjiu comforted her:

"You're going to be a bride tomorrow, so stop making such a fuss. Don't worry, I've already dealt with her."

Distracted by them, Tang Li didn't dare to ask any more questions.

However, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway brought the topic back to the present:

"Groom, continue. What happened next? What happened then?"

Shen Linfeng scratched his head:

“I heard from my mother that Teacher Sheng was injured. During that time, Teacher Xi took good care of her. However, my mother had a difficult childbirth. After she was discharged from the hospital, she wanted to tell Teacher Xi the good news, but she heard that Teacher Xi had gone back early. After that, I never saw Teacher Xi again.”

We can no longer see them.

After all, she has passed away.

"But you just said that Teacher Sheng is hospitalized. Which hospital? Could you tell me? Although I was just a child who couldn't even walk when Teacher Sheng passed away, I still want to go and see him."

Shen Linfeng's request was exactly what Tang Li wanted to hear.

Perhaps Shen Linfeng's appearance can help Sheng Chaosheng recall his past with Xihaitang.

After all, he seems to have completely forgotten about Teacher Xi.

"It's a pity you're not inviting any elders to your wedding tomorrow. Otherwise, you could have invited Uncle Sheng to your wedding, since tomorrow's best man is Uncle Sheng's adopted son."

Shen Linfeng was quite surprised:

"You mean Lu Zhixing is Teacher Sheng's adopted son? Are you sure the Teacher Sheng we're talking about is the same person?"

Could there be a mistake?

Tang Li frowned:

"There shouldn't be any mistake. Don't you know Uncle Sheng's name?"

Shen Linfeng was both surprised and delighted:

"The group of people who went to teach in the village back then all encountered a once-in-a-century flood. Later, when the village counted the number of people and wanted to erect a monument to commemorate them, everyone else had contact information, but Teacher Sheng could not be found."

How could someone be missing from the search results?

"That's impossible. Shengrong Group has a prestigious reputation, and Uncle Sheng is a prominent figure."

Faced with Tang Li's doubts, Shen Linfeng sighed:

“I was too young to remember anything back then. Later, I left the village and lived in the city. Later still, I left my country and went overseas. But I always remember what the old principal said before he died: that I must find Sheng Rong.”

Sheng Rong?

Shengrong Group?

It's so obvious now, it must be the same person.

"So you mean Uncle Sheng used an alias when he went to teach in the rural area?"

Tang Li never understood the origin of the name Sheng Rong Group. Usually, such names might be derived from the fact that the founder's partner had the character "Rong" in their name.

"Is it possible that the Uncle Sheng you mentioned was originally named Sheng Rong, and only changed his name later?" Jingjiu reminded him.

It's not impossible.

Zhao Wenxun exclaimed: "Oh dear!"

"What are you all thinking about here? It's still early. Let the men handle this so-called celebration banquet. Come on, let's go to the hospital now and visit Uncle Sheng."

Shen Linfeng immediately seconded the motion; he couldn't wait to see Sheng Chaosheng.

Jingjiu patted Tang Li on the shoulder:

"I'm not going to join the fun. I'm flying to Jincheng tomorrow, so there's nothing for me to do here. I'll leave early, and you guys can go about your business."

After leaving the banquet hall, on the way to the hospital, Tang left the car, Zhao Wenxun sat in the passenger seat, and Shen Linfeng, like a little chatterbox, kept asking about Sheng Chaosheng's situation.

Tang Li had no interest in dealing with the matter, so he gave a perfunctory reply:

"Uncle Sheng lives abroad. Apart from the casual conversations I've had these past few days, all my knowledge of him comes from media reports, which is no more than what you have."

Shen Linfeng understood the implied meaning and promptly shut his mouth.

In the hospital ward.

Sheng Chaosheng stood at the door, blowing his beard and glaring at people, trying to shoo them away:

"Get lost, you old bastard Huo, what are you doing hanging around in front of me all day? Are your children married and have children yet? If not, have another one to pass the time. Stop sticking to me all day long and being a nuisance."

I heard the kids all went to the celebration banquet tonight.

Huo Yi was worried that he would be bored by himself, so he reluctantly came to the hospital after being repeatedly urged by Wei Chaoyu.

He even brought along a set of Chinese chess pieces that Sheng Chaosheng liked.
