Jane Yixue was very curious.

She knew it wasn't anything nice, but only by knowing each other's background could they resolve their differences.

My mother will only be happy when she sees the two old people getting along well.

Upon hearing this, the old lady was filled with sorrow. "When Tinglan disappeared, the entire Dongfang family tried their best to find her, but to no avail."

I blame him for forcing his daughter! Why doesn't he just die!

"But I regretted it very quickly afterward. I realized that he just wanted to find Tinglan a stable and reliable partner."

But I didn't want to see him at the time, so I moved here with Ah Hui.

He stayed there for twenty-one years. During that time, he came to see me several times, but I turned him away each time.

I also told Ah Hui to tell him that I would never see him again in my life if I couldn't find my daughter, unless he died!

After hearing this, Jian Yixue was at a loss for words.

She could tell that they both loved each other deeply, but fate had other plans.

After my mother's incident.

This caused the two of them to drift further and further apart, tormenting each other for so many years.

Jian Yixue glanced at the old lady, who was in great pain, and said, "Actually, it's not too late now."

Jane didn't say it explicitly.

With her there, none of this would have happened.

She will definitely heal them both so they can stay home and wait for their mother to return.

She wanted to see if the old lady would forgive the old man in this life-or-death situation.

Besides, she wasn't lying.

If the old man hadn't met her, there probably wouldn't have been any hope of saving his health.

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, the old lady naturally understood what Jian Yixue meant and fell into deep thought.

Whether or not to forgive him.

For a moment, the old lady didn't know what to do.

The thought that he was about to die, and that there would never again be that familiar figure standing in front of the courtyard gate, filled her with nothing but sadness and heartache.

Actually, the old man would appear at the door every day, and the old lady knew that.

She often stood at the door to look at her husband, trying to tell from his appearance whether he had been doing well all these years.

For more than twenty years, she and he have often watched over each other through a crack in the door.

Over the years, she no longer blames the old man as she used to.

She understood the old man's good intentions.

At that time, my daughter was young and full of vigor.

My daughter only wants to go out and travel, and practice medicine to save lives.

The old man, who was also the wife, only wanted his daughter to live a peaceful and happy life under his watchful eye.

It's all just a cruel twist of fate.

Seeing that the old lady remained silent, Jian Yixue continued, "Life is unpredictable, cherish the people in front of you."

The old lady, who was still hesitating, suddenly understood after hearing this.

yes!

Cherish the people around you!

How could she be so foolish?

Jian Yixue's words awakened the confused old lady.

In the end, the old lady decided to go out and see. "Yes, I will go and see him."

Seeing this, Jian Yixue smiled knowingly and nodded to the old lady.

Seeing that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, Jian Yixue thought about the purpose of her trip.

He looked at the old lady and asked, "Does the old lady know whether Mother had someone she loved back then?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady was taken aback, then frowned and said, "I have never heard her mention it."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue immediately frowned.

Originally, Jian Yixue had hoped to find clues about her biological father from the old lady, but she never expected that the old lady was also completely unaware of the situation.

It seems this matter will have to be handled gradually.

Now she has no clue what to do and doesn't know where to start.

With this path blocked, Jian Yixue had no choice but to find another way.

"The person the old man has taken a liking to—Ouyang Si'ang, does the old lady know anything about him? What was your mother's impression of him back then?"

Jian Yixue looked at the old lady and continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, the old lady fell into thought.

"That's the son of the old man's good friend. I don't know him very well. He seems refined and courteous, and he's quite popular."

At the time, he was seen as a very popular son-in-law, and many people pursued him, including his current wife. However…

"But what?" Jian Yixue asked, her eyes half-closed.

The old lady glanced at Jian Yixue and continued, "However, Tinglan's opinion of him is not good."

"How so?"

"After the old man arranged for Tinglan and Ouyang Si'ang to meet a few times, one day I tentatively asked Tinglan what she thought of Ouyang Si'ang."

Tinglan told me that the man was a hypocrite and not easy to get along with.

The old lady told Jian Yixue what her daughter had said.

"Did Mother say anything else?" Jian Yixue continued to ask.

The old lady shook her head upon seeing this. "No, that's all." Tinglan seemed very reluctant to mention him. Seeing that Tinglan was unhappy, I didn't ask any further.

I figured it was just a few meetings, and there was no agreement on what was absolutely necessary, so I stopped worrying about it.

Afterwards, I told the old man about his daughter's thoughts, and he promised not to try to bring them together again.

I thought the matter was over, but the old man was still easily persuaded and let the two meet again.

Later, your mother left home, and I only found out about this after she left.

In a fit of anger, I moved here.

She deeply regretted not stopping it from happening in time.

Upon hearing the old lady's words, Jian Yixue's brows furrowed instantly.

It seems she needs to meet this Ouyang Si'ang.

It's just unknown whether he is the mastermind behind it all.

Everything can only be known after meeting in person and investigating thoroughly.

Looking at the heartbroken old lady, Jian Yixue comforted her, "Old lady, don't worry, I will definitely bring my mother back safely."

Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at Jian Yixue gratefully and nodded.

"Does your mother have any very close friends or best confidantes?"

The old lady pondered for a moment, "Yes, she did, but she had already married and moved to Z country many years before your mother disappeared."

I don't know if they kept in touch after that.

"Who is she?" Jian Yixue asked.

The old lady thought for a long time but still couldn't remember what the other person looked like, only that the child was very pretty.

"It seems her name is Lin Shengge. I often heard your mother call her Shengge."

Over time, I don't remember exactly what it looked like.

However, there seems to be a group photo of them in Tinglan's room. Go look for it later.

The old lady looked at Jian Yixue and made a suggestion.

She genuinely couldn't recall what the person looked like, so she had to ask Jian Yixue to look for him herself.

She didn't think that since the man had been gone for so long, it couldn't possibly be related to her daughter's disappearance.

When Jian Yixue heard the old lady ask her to go to her mother's room, she nodded without hesitation.

That's exactly what she was thinking.

When the old lady brought it up, she immediately agreed.

Seeing that Jian Yixue agreed, the old lady continued, "Yi'er knows where it is; he'll take you there later."
