Chapter 119

Shen Hui seemed a little anxious. Unlike last time when she asked Zhou Xiao for favors, she did not reveal the matter of his biological parents.

This time in the letter, he specifically pointed out that Zhou Xiao's parents were in Gangcheng, but he didn't say anything else, saying that he would tell them after Jiang Yu sent the money over.

This person is hiding something, and it really doesn't seem like he knows more.

What's more, if Shen Hui knew the details about Zhou Xiao's parents in her previous life, she would not have taken so long to tell him, and she would not have been so determined to have a marriage exchange and was unwilling to marry into the Zhou family.

After all, those who have been able to live in Hong Kong for so many years must have a good life.

No matter what, Zhou Xiao is the son that the Zhou family has raised for so many years. If his biological parents live well, it will definitely benefit the Zhou family.

Given Shen Hui's obsession with living a rich and prosperous life, there was no way she would give up this good opportunity.

That's why Shen Hui took so long to tell them about this and asked them for a large sum of money. Either she didn't know the specific situation of Zhou Xiao's biological parents, or something happened there.

It was of no benefit to Shen Hui, so she decided to marry someone else.

Jiang Yu leaned on Zhou Xiao's shoulder, hoping it was not the latter.

"Shen Hui's letter is still useful. If she didn't deliberately mislead us, then the results of our investigation are correct. Aunt and the others are indeed in Hong Kong City."

The money they spent on hiring someone to conduct an investigation this year was not wasted.

Although there are relatively few plots about the villain Zhou Xiao, and his background is not mentioned in the original plot, it is impossible for the system to find non-existent information out of thin air.

But this is a real world after all. As long as people appear, they will leave traces, and non-existent plots will be supplemented.

Based on the characteristics of Zhou Xiao and Old Man Zhou, Jiang Yu did not waste her efforts like a headless fly, but instead checked the whereabouts of Old Man Zhou's relatives.

After investigating like this, we found out some things: Old Man Zhou also had a younger sister, Zhou Ying, who married his classmate Xi Xingwen from the city.

Xi Xingwen's family is in business, his father studied abroad, and there are some foreign documents in the house.

More than 20 years ago, these things could have brought an entire family to ruin.

Seeing that her family was about to fall into trouble, Zhou Ying published an announcement in the newspaper to sever her relationship with Old Man Zhou in order to avoid implicating her brother.

Later, the Xi family used some unknown connections to sneak the whole family into Hong Kong City and never heard from them again.

Not long after, Zhang Guixiang gave birth to twins, but according to Jiang Yu's investigation, the boy of the twins died in the womb.

Zhang Guixiang was so sad that she almost had an accident and was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

But the next day, the dead child came back to life. To be precise, it was not the child who came back to life, but Old Man Zhou brought Zhou Xiao back from outside.

Jiang Yu felt that Zhou Xiao was most likely Zhou Ying's son.

More than 20 years ago, the Xi family was in turmoil and had to sneak into Hong Kong City.

At that time, smuggling was no joke. Adults might not be able to bear it and die halfway.

How old was Zhou Xiao at that time? He was only a few days old. Taking him away would be 100% fatal. Keeping him would give him a glimmer of hope.

When Zhou Xiao was born, the Xi family was in chaos and no one knew that Zhou Ying had given birth to a child. Then the family suddenly encountered an unfortunate change and the adults couldn't bear it. It was normal that the child was lost, right?

Because of these reasons, Zhou Xiao became the son of the old Zhou family. In addition, he looked like old man Zhou and had natural family genes. After so many years, no one doubted that he was not the biological son of the old Zhou family.

Jiang Yu did not hide what she found out from Zhou Xiao, and Zhou Xiao also knew it.

He held his fiancée in his arms, resting his chin on the top of Jiang Yu's soft head. He hummed and said nothing more.

Seeing Chen Zhi looking at her curiously, Jiang Yu handed the letter to her best friend.

She put her arm around Zhou Xiao's sturdy waist and said, "When Second Brother is free, I will accompany you to Hong Kong City to visit Aunt and the others."

The port city is too far away, so we can only investigate here.

But no matter whether he is dead or alive, we must go look for him so that there will be no regrets.

Listening to his fiancée's words, Zhou Xiao's hand on her waist paused for a moment, and after a long moment, a low word came from his lips.

"good."

Zhou Tinghuai, who was confused by what he heard nearby, finally reacted when he moved closer to his wife to read the letter.

"Brother, you are not my real brother?"

What is going on? Zhou Xiao has been his biological brother for more than 20 years, how come he suddenly isn’t anymore?

Zhou Tinghuai was so shocked that his jaw dropped. His brother knew about this, Jiang Yu knew about it, even an outsider like Shen Hui knew about it, but he was the only one who was still stupid.

Zhou Tinghuai was so sad.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me? At least let me be mentally prepared."

Zhou Xiao's ears were shocked by Zhou Tinghuai's two howls.

The man covered his fiancée's ears without changing his expression.

"You were not sure before, so why did you keep shouting about it? Besides, I am still your brother now, so it won't affect you if you still call me brother."

Zhou Tinghuai thought about it and it seemed to be the case. Then he realized what was going on and asked what this sentence meant.

"If you are still my brother, are you really the child of my father's other woman?"

Sometimes when Zhang Guixiang was extremely angry, she would curse Old Man Zhou and the woman outside at home.

Zhou Tinghuai didn’t think much about it before, but now that he thinks that Zhou Xiao is really not his biological brother, the sky is falling.

Is he being sorry to his mother?

"Puchi, what are you thinking about?!" Chen Zhi looked at Zhou Tinghuai's expression of despair and burst into laughter.

Is there any illegitimate child who dares to let him call him brother so openly?

Jiang Yu was also amused and laughed.

Zhou Xiao supported his fiancée who was laughing so hard that her body was shaking, and reluctantly told her what he had investigated.

"So you are the son of my father's sister? Then he is still my brother, just changed from a biological brother to a cousin."

After Zhou Tinghuai finished speaking, he saw Zhou Xiao nod.

Knowing that he had not done anything wrong to his mother, I felt relieved but also regretful.

How come he is still the brother? What will happen if he is allowed to be the brother again?

But no matter what, they are still blood relatives, and there is nothing Zhou Tinghuai cannot accept.

Thinking of his parents in Xiaohe Village, especially Zhang Guixiang, who had complicated feelings for Zhou Xiao since childhood, Zhou Tinghuai felt it necessary to tell his family.

"Because of my attitude towards you before, I'm afraid I always thought you were the child of my father and another woman. Now that I know about this, you should tell me."

Zhou Xiao gave him a look that said, "You don't even need to say that."

"When I sent something back to Xiaohe Village a few days ago, I wrote a letter about this matter and sent it along. I think my family has received the letter."

"You are worthy of being my brother. You are always reliable in doing things." Zhou Tinghuai gave his brother a thumbs up.

The brotherhood between the two for so many years, even though they are not biological brothers, their feelings are not fake.

At the same time, in the Zhou family of Xiaohe Village.

Zhang Guixiang was returning home from the enamel factory after get off work when she happened to meet a postman delivering letters and parcels.

Ever since Jiang Yu and her family went to Kyoto, they would send things back every once in a while, and the postman was very familiar with the Zhou family.
