Xin Wei and Xin An'an looked at each other.
"Big brother, do you think it's possible?" Xin An'an asked uncertainly, even more so than her sister-in-law!
This would prove that their stepmother had forgiven them, and they could then receive a lot of money.
With the money, the family business can get out of trouble.
Xin Wei pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think so!"
"Why do you say that?" Li Yushan asked. Compared to the Xin family siblings, she didn't know much about her stepmother-in-law.
“Even when my father passed away, my stepmother was only sad for a while, she didn’t cry, at least not in front of others,” Xin Wei said. “I think something must have happened to make my stepmother lose her composure.”
"Big brother, what could have happened?" Xin An'an said. "The Bai family is all dead."
"Let's investigate first," Xin Wei said. "By the way, let's keep track of time and make sure Mom doesn't go around in front of her stepmother."
Ye Weiwen has recently started causing trouble again because her children are too busy with work to pay attention to her.
With such a mother, the two siblings were a little angry, but they had her blood in their veins and couldn't just ignore her.
As children, they would give in to their mother and fulfill her requests, but stepmothers would not.
“Sigh, Mommy wants the villa where my stepmother lives. She says it was bought for her by my father and she has to live there.” Xin An’an was very troubled. “She also said that if we don’t help her, she will take legal action to get her things back.”
The mansion where my stepmother lives was indeed bought when my father and mother got married, but when they divorced, their respective assets were divided. My father took the villa and the company, and gave everything else to my mother.
"Nonsense!" Xin Wei roared. "Doesn't she understand the law?"
Xin An'an shrugged, indicating that she did not understand.
"Tell her not to leave the manor unless absolutely necessary," Xin Wei said, increasingly disappointed in his biological mother.
When her husband and sister-in-law started talking about her mother-in-law, Li Yushan didn't feel comfortable interrupting.
Compared to her stepmother-in-law, Li Yushan disliked her biological mother-in-law even more; she was a vain woman who only knew how to enjoy herself.
Shameless! She even wants the mansion left by her father-in-law. Doesn't she realize what shameful things she did back then?
Xin Wei sent people to investigate before making any further plans.
After her stepson and stepsisters left, Bai Qiongyu finally made up her mind that she would do her best to make amends to her son and granddaughter, no matter what.
Even if they don't forgive her, she will do her best to be good to them.
"Miss, they're going to the Jixianglou Theater in Chinatown the day after tomorrow to watch a play. Let's go too," Xianglan suggested. "Once we get to know each other, we can recognize each other."
“Yes!” Bai Qiongyu nodded. “However, you need to be careful. Ye Weiwen is a mad dog, and a greedy one at that. If they find out Tiantian’s identity, they will definitely take action. I don’t want He Tiantian to suffer an accident before my granddaughter has even been recognized.”
“Miss, I know everything,” Xianglan said. “The Bai family are not to be trifled with. If they dare to do it, they will regret it.”
"That's good. We can't afford to make any mistakes." Bai Qiongyu nodded. In the past, she didn't want to make any big moves and just wanted to enjoy her old age in peace, but now she couldn't do that anymore.
Just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm a pushover!
On Sunday, Grandma Qi and her family dressed up in their finest clothes, ready to go to Jixianglou to watch a traditional opera.
Because of Grandma Qi, the Qi family gradually developed a liking for listening to operas.
Now they can vaguely understand!
As soon as they got off the bus, the people in front of them turned around.
Bai Qiongyu was slightly taken aback when she saw He Tiantian arm in arm with an elderly woman who was about the same age as her.
"Mr. Qi, you've come to see the opera too?" Bai Qiongyu asked. "This is...?"
Qi Shuliang recognized Bai Qiongyu as a well-known and powerful woman in the Chinese community. He said, "Ms. Bai! It's a pleasure to meet you here. This is my mother. Mother, this is the highly respected elder, Ms. Bai."
Grandma Qi was delighted to meet an elderly woman who spoke Mandarin, and said, "Hello, Ms. Bai."
"Hello, Grandma Qi!" Bai Qiongyu said. "I was born in 1908, and you were born in 1908?"
"Hehe, I was born in 1905, three years older than my sister." Grandma Qi San saw that Bai Qiongyu had revealed her birth year, so she wanted to discuss seniority with her.
“Then let’s call each other sisters!” Bai Qiongyu said. “Calling me Ms. Bai is too formal with Old Mrs. Qi.”
"That's great." Grandma Qi agreed, feeling that this little white girl looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she resembled for a moment.
Bai Qiongyu helped Grandma Qi San walk forward, leaving the people behind looking at each other in bewilderment.
Qi Shuliang was also very curious. This Ms. Bai always kept people at arm's length and wasn't close to anyone.
Anna and Qi Shuliang met Bai Qiongyu at a Chinese gathering, but they didn't feel they knew her well.
He Tiantian just stood there, stunned!
She...she saw the woman in the photo.
Although this woman is much older than the woman in the photo, the difference is not significant.
"Sister Tiantian, why aren't you leaving?" Qi Zhengmin reached out to pull He Tiantian, turned around and saw He Tiantian, then suddenly exclaimed, "Dad, Mom, that grandma looks like Sister Tiantian!"
Qi Zhenghan frowned; he had clearly noticed it too.
"You know him?" Qi Zhenghan asked, and He Tiantian seemed a little flustered.
He Tiantian was taken aback. Although she had thought of visiting her grandmother before coming to the United States, so many things had happened intermittently that she hadn't had a chance to tell her.
Besides, she was having a great time here and had almost forgotten about it.
However, just when she forgot about it, that person appeared.
"I...don't know..." He Tiantian stammered, unsure whether she knew him or not.
"You really don't recognize her?" Qi Shuliang also realized that he finally understood why He Tiantian looked so familiar to him.
However, Qi Shuliang would never associate He Tiantian with Bai Qiongyu.
He Tiantian smiled wryly and said, "I think she looks like my grandmother!"
"Grandmother?" Qi Shuliang was taken aback. "What's going on?"
He Tiantian didn't want to hide anything from Qi Shuliang. Since she had met someone who looked like her, they were somehow connected.
He Tiantian didn't want to run away. If it really was her grandmother, she just wanted to tell her that her father didn't hate her and hoped she would be alright.
But grandfather...
Compared to being able to forgive the other while still alive, the regret of being separated by death can never be made up for.
Qi Shuliang and his family were stunned when they heard this.
Qi Zhengmin always thought that his family's story could be made into a 50-episode family drama spanning 30 years between China and the United States, and that Sister Tian's family's story could be made into an 80-episode love story spanning 40 years between China and the United States.
"I don't know yet!" He Tiantian said. "Uncle Qi, please help me check. If you can find out, I will have no regrets about coming to America this time."
"Don't worry, I'll help you investigate," Qi Shuliang said. It was a small favor that could help not only He Tiantian but also Ms. Bai.
After all, Ms. Bai doesn't have her own children. If she could reunite with her biological son, it would be a wonderful thing! (To be continued.)
