Chapter 196 Didn’t your father die in that car accident?

Lin Yan was thinking about how to answer.

Xing Yu had already taken over the conversation.

"Grandma Zeng, Madam Jing has passed away due to illness. You should also know that Shu Yuan was abducted when she was young, and she has only just returned to the Shu family. So this time we came to you to understand some things. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

Lin Yan noticed Zeng Xianghui's puzzled look.

She held Zeng Xianghui's hand, moved closer to her, and introduced him to her: "Grandma Zeng, this is my husband. We are married. He is not an outsider, so you can talk as much as you want."

Zeng Xianghui gradually let down his guard, his expression becoming sorrowful: "Yuanyuan, I didn't expect you to be married... Time flies so fast... It's a pity that such a good person like Madam Jing had such a short life... How could she pass away..."

Lin Yan helped her sit on a wooden stool beside her and began to test her step by step.

"Grandma, during all these years since I was abducted, I never gave up on finding my biological parents... I never expected that after finally finding them, my mother would have passed away... But fortunately, my father is still alive..."

Zeng Xianghui's eyes suddenly widened: "Yuanyuan...what are you talking about? Didn't your father die in that car accident that year?"

Lin Yan's expression froze and her head felt numb.

"Grandma Zeng, to be honest, something has happened recently that has left us feeling very confused." Xing Yu continued, "That's why we came to you to learn about the Shu family's past."

Zeng Xianghui was an honest man, and thinking of the special care Jinglan and Shulun had given her, he said, "What do you want to know? I can tell you."

Lin Yan: "Grandma Zeng, tell us everything you know, starting from when you went to work as a nanny at the Shu family."

A long and clear past.

She searched her memory bank for a long time before she spoke slowly.

"I remember it was Mr. Shu who contacted the agency looking for a nanny. He said his wife was pregnant and wanted a nanny to take care of her daily life. I was chosen and went to work for the Shu family."

"Yuanyuan, do you know? Your parents have a very good relationship. They are the most loving couple I have ever seen. At that time, Mr. Shu was starting a small business. He was very busy every day, but no matter how late he came home, he would always bring your mother her favorite food."

"The first thing I did when I got home was to visit your mother. I would hug her before leaving for the office in the morning. Your mother had a very hard time carrying you back then. Your father, a grown man, often felt sorry for her and secretly wiped away her tears. I caught him crying several times..."

"You have the same radiant white skin and beautiful face as Madam Jing, so I recognized you the moment you entered the room. She has a very good personality, well-educated, and considerate. Although I am a nanny, she takes special care of me. She always gives me gifts and red envelopes during the New Year and other holidays. She is very kind to me..."

"Mr. Shu is also a gentle and refined man. I've never seen him lose his temper with Madam Jing once... Throughout the pregnancy, Mr. Shu spent all his time with your mother except for work. He's truly a rare and good husband..."

"Later, you were born... Your mother named you Shuyuan... The whole family was filled with happiness and joy because of your arrival. But who would have thought that God would be so blind and that car accident would happen..."

Lin Yan: "Grandma Zeng, what car accident?"

Zeng Xianghui sighed, calmed down, and then continued speaking.

"That night... when you were only four months old, you suddenly had a high fever. Mr. Shu and Mrs. Jing drove you to the hospital... and then... we had a serious car accident on the way..."

"I only heard the news the next day. Mr. Shu died instantly in a car accident, and Mrs. Jing survived after emergency treatment... But you... disappeared inexplicably... The police said... you might have been kidnapped..."

"After I heard the news, I was about to rush to the hospital to see Madam Jing. But your uncle suddenly showed up and told me that Madam Jing had woken up. He also paid me my salary and asked me to leave the Shu family."

"At the time, I thought that with Mr. Shu's death and you missing, Madam Jing would definitely be taken back to her parents' care. There really was no point in me staying at the Shu family, so I took my salary and left... But strangely, after I left the Shu family, I couldn't find any more nanny work in Jingbei. No one wanted me..."

"Beijing's north is expensive, and I couldn't survive without a job. Within two months, I returned home..."

Zeng Xianghui's statement was consistent with what Shu Lun told her.

But there are too many loopholes.

The car accident was real, but there must be some unspeakable secrets behind it.

And that uncle who suddenly appeared...

Too suspicious.

She asked, "Grandma Zeng, how is the Shu family's situation? Is that uncle my father's brother?"

Zeng Xianghui said: "When Madam Jing was pregnant, I often chatted with her about family matters. We talked about Mr. Shu's family. Madam Jing said that Mr. Shu's family conditions were not good. His parents died very early. It was not easy for him to work hard in northern Beijing alone. He was a steady and motivated man. As for whether Mr. Shu had any brothers, Madam Jing did not mention it, and I don't know the specific situation..."

"When your uncle came to see me, I saw him holding Mr. Shu's ID card with a sad face... so I naturally believed him... Yuanyuan, is there something wrong?"

Lin Yan had an idea. She looked at Xing Yu and found that the things in Xing Yu's eyes were exactly the same as hers.

They must have thought of the same thing.

After a brief eye contact and with Xing Yu's consent, Lin Yan took out her mobile phone and opened Shu Lun's WeChat profile picture for Zeng Xianghui to identify.

"Grandma Zeng, look, is that him?"

Zeng Xianghui only took one look and was very sure: "Yes! It's him. He said he is your father's brother... I think his name is... Shu Lun..."

Lin Yan then asked, "Then...what's my dad's name?"

"Shu Zhicheng." Zeng Xianghui then added: "Your mother's name is Jinglan."

Shulun is indeed not his father...

Could it be that he is really her uncle?

Lin Yan had a lot of questions in her mind at this moment: "Grandma Zeng, do you know where my father's hometown is?"

"I really don't know about that."

"What about my mother? How much do you know about the Jing family?"

"Mrs. Jing rarely mentioned her family to me. I only heard her say that her family was pretty good. At the time, her family didn't approve of her being with your father. They looked down on your father, a poor boy, and forced them to break up. But Mrs. Jing didn't want to, and she insisted on leaving home and choosing Mr. Shu. It seems that she cut off contact with her family immediately..."

"Anyway, when I was working as a nanny at the Shu family, I never saw Madam Jing's parents come to see her..."

It was more than an hour later when we finished chatting.

The midday sun is so dazzling that it burns through the skin and into the heart.

Lin Yan and Xing Yu returned to the car.

They were all silent.

Lin Yan sorted out her thoughts, summarized briefly, and said to Xing Yu.

"If what Grandma Great said is true, there are a few things we need to clarify."

"Is Shu Lun Lin Yan's uncle? Why does he pretend to be Lin Yan's biological father? Why does he say Jing Lan is his wife? What on earth is he trying to do?"

"Also, are Shu Zhicheng and Jing Lan really dead? If not, where are they now?"

Xing Yu was about to speak when his cell phone rang.

It was that mysterious woman calling again.

He answered the call and a woman's voice came through.

"Be careful. You were followed the entire time by Shulun's men, and they've already taken care of you. Now hurry back to Jingbei and go to Watson University to find a professor named Sun Xing."

"Lin Yan's mother was once his most proud student. He knows some things best..."
