The servants nearby looked up in surprise, and saw that the three people sitting face to face on the sofa seemed to be frozen, not moving for a long time.
In fact, this was the case. Chi Yangzhi had already frozen.
The child she lost eighteen years ago has always been a source of worry for her.
If she had been more careful and cautious at that time, she wouldn't have... She was the one who let the child down! She wasn't a good mother either, she even killed her own child...
The first person to react was Gu Tangzhang.
Gu Tangzhang immediately looked at his wife. Seeing Chi Yangzhi's pale face and shaky body, he felt a pain in his heart. He frowned and reprimanded his son, "Why are you bringing up the past? Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to bring it up again? If you have nothing to do, go back and do what you should do."
Chi Yangzhi reluctantly said, "This has nothing to do with Shiqing. Why scold Shiqing? It's because I, as a mother, am incompetent."
Gu Tangzhang said in a deep voice: "No, it's my husband's fault. I didn't protect you well at that time."
Chi Yangzhi shook his head silently, choking slightly.
Gu Shiqing sighed, "Dad, Mom, what if I say that my little sister didn't die and is still alive?"
The air choked.
Chi Yangzhi looked up suddenly, "What did you say?"
Gu Tangzhang also looked at Gu Shiqing in astonishment and said in a cold voice: "Is it because I haven't beaten you in a long time? Are you getting nervous? This is not a joke!"
"I'm not kidding." Gu Shiqing looked at the two of them, "Dad, Mom, over the years, my brother and I have always felt that something was wrong with what happened back then, and we also felt that my little sister might not have...but we don't know where to start."
Chi Yangzhi's face turned paler and he clenched his hands on his legs.
Gu Shiqing continued, "It wasn't until a few months ago that we met someone and suspected she might be our younger sister. Then we looked up her past and found that her conditions matched those of my younger sister."
Chi Yangzhi could no longer sit still and asked anxiously, "Who? Who is it?"
Gu Tangzhang knew his wife too well. When he saw her getting emotional, he quickly comforted her: "Wife, calm down and listen to what Shiqing has to say first."
Gu Shiqing was also worried that Chi Yangzhi would become ill due to her emotional ups and downs. Even though Chi Yangzhi's condition had stabilized over the years and she looked like an ordinary person, the family knew that what happened 18 years ago had long been a knot in her heart, and she had never really let it go, so how could she get better? He immediately said the most important point first: "My eldest brother and I have done a DNA test on this person, and confirmed that she is related to us, and she looks very similar to our Gu family, she is really our little sister!"
Not to mention Chi Yangzhi, even Gu Tangzhang was shocked.
"Has the DNA test really been done? Is it true that the results are correct?"
Gu Shiqing nodded heavily.
So Gu Tangzhang and Chi Yangzhi both stood there as if petrified, with a look of confusion and disbelief on their faces.
Gu Shiqing simply took out the paper appraisal results that he had prepared long ago and gave them.
When the two saw the thin pieces of paper, they suddenly came to their senses as if they were stung by some sharp thorns and hurriedly took them, but their outstretched hands were shaking.
Chi Yangzhi was so shocked that he couldn't hold it firmly and fell down several times.
Gu Tangzhang was so impatient that he didn't care about his wife. He just snatched the book and started to look at it, but he couldn't turn the page because of his shaking hands.
Finally, Gu Shiqing couldn't bear it anymore and helped them turn to the last page to let them see the result.
When the two looked up, their hearts suddenly sank.
“It’s true…”
Chi Yangzhi's eyes suddenly turned red. She looked at her husband in panic and asked in a trembling voice, "Am I dreaming? Am I normal now? Am I hallucinating again?"
Gu Tangzhang's eyes suddenly became moist.
Over the years, in order to make his wife feel better, he never mentioned the loss of his daughter in front of her, and forbade anyone in the Gu family to mention it. He would get angry if anyone mentioned it, for fear of upsetting his wife who had finally recovered.
In the first few years, he would hear other people talking about how cold-hearted he was, saying that he lost a daughter but didn't care at all. When his wife was unconscious, she would also break down and ask him if he didn't care about his daughter.
But how could he not care! When he knew it was a daughter, he was secretly happy for several days and even dreamed about it. He also made up his mind not to raise a tomboy like Si Yin. This would be the precious little princess of their Gu family.
But he learned of her death before he even had a chance to see her. He couldn't even find her body, so he couldn't bury her properly, nor could he find her enemy to avenge himself!
He couldn't mention it either. He had to pretend that nothing had happened and take care of everything, protecting his wife and three children to prevent those hidden enemies from coming to attack him again! God knows how much he was suffering!
Thinking of this, Gu Tangzhang clenched the report, looked up at his wife, and said softly: "It's true, this report is true, and what I hear and see is also true."
Chi Yangzhi bit the tip of her tongue, and the pain reminded her that she was not hallucinating. She immediately turned to Gu Shiqing and asked with a sob, "Where is my daughter now? Who is she now? Is she doing well?"
Gu Tangzhang also stared at Gu Shiqing.
Gu Shiqing said: "Dad, Mom, you have seen it a long time ago."
The two were stunned.
"We...have already met?"
Gu Shiqing smiled, "Mom, you really like her and are very satisfied and proud of her. To be honest, before I knew she was my little sister, my brother and I were jealous when we saw how much you cared about her. You never praised us that much."
Then he turned to Gu Tangzhang, "And Dad, you were like a different person to me before. You weren't that nice to us. My brother and I even doubted whether you were still the dad we knew."
Chi Yangzhi: “???”
Gu Tangzhang: “???”
Seeing that Gu Shiqing's expression did not seem fake, the two frowned and racked their brains to think.
In fact, they didn't think about it for too long, and a person instantly appeared in their minds.
Chi Yangzhi was stunned and said hesitantly: "Could it be..."
“——Lin Wu?!!”
Gu Tangzhang blurted out.
Gu Shiqing smiled and nodded.
Chi Yangzhi: “!!!”
Gu Tangzhang: “!!!”
The two of them stood up at the same time, almost losing their voices: "Is it really her?"
Gu Shiqing pointed at the report in their hands.
Chi Yangzhi reacted quickly, and with trembling hands hurriedly turned to the identity column in front.
The name registered on it was Lin Wu!
"Dad, Mom, if you don't believe it, wait for Wuwu to come back and do another DNA test with her." Gu Shiqing said.
Chi Yangzhi and Gu Tangzhang's minds went completely blank and their ears kept buzzing.
After a long while, Chi Yangzhi said in a trembling voice: "No need to do it anymore, Mom believes it."
"Wuwu is also from North City. She is eighteen years old this year and her birthday is August 3. Like her mother, she prefers sweet and sour tastes and doesn't like onions, ginger, garlic, and carrots..."
Gu Tangzhang looked at Chi Yangzhi, and Lin Wu's appearance appeared in his mind. His voice trembled: "And she looks a lot like you. When I first saw her, I almost thought she was a copy of you."
As they talked, tears welled up in their eyes.
"She and I have so many similarities, I like her so much, and I feel so close to her, but why have I never thought of the possibility that she could be my daughter?"
Chi Yangzhi fell back and covered her face but couldn't stop crying, "How could I not recognize my daughter at all!"
It was even more difficult for Gu Tangzhang to speak.
When he met Lin Wu for the first time, the moment the little girl pushed open the door and came in, he clearly mistook her for his wife, but he didn't think at that time that she was his daughter!
He obviously missed his daughter so much, but when she stood in front of him, he didn't recognize her!
Not to mention——
"I almost did that to her!"
Gu Tangzhang's throat seemed to be strangled by someone, and he staggered due to suffocation. He murmured in disbelief, "When the Situ family came to my house, I really thought about making that child swallow the loss. Later, I was dissatisfied with her arrogance and almost attacked her. It turned out that I... I almost touched my own daughter, and I made her suffer..."
Thinking of this, Gu Tangzhang burst into tears and looked at Gu Shiqing in fear, "Does Wuwu know that she is a member of our Gu family? Does she know that I am her father? Is she... very disappointed with Dad?"
Chi Yangzhi also looked at Gu Shiqing in panic.
Gu Shiqing sighed and said tactfully: "Wuwu knows. At the beginning, she... was quite repulsive and didn't want to see me and my elder brother."
Gu Tangzhang and Chi Yangzhi were struck by a blow and froze all over.
"But Wuwu's attitude towards us is better now!" Gu Shiqing said hurriedly, "I was with Wuwu this time abroad. Before returning home, I also asked her opinion. She was willing to come home after returning home and meet us for a meal together."
"real??"
Their eyes lit up, as if they saw hope.
Gu Shiqing nodded vigorously.
Chi Yangzhi couldn't wait any longer and immediately stood up and said, "As long as Wuwu is willing to see us, that's good. Where is Wuwu now abroad? I'll go find Wuwu now!"
"I'll go too, I'll go too!" Gu Tangzhang was awakened by Chi Yangzhi's words. He stood up and eagerly asked Gu Shiqing.
Gu Shiqing felt helpless and said quickly, "Dad, Mom, calm down. I heard from Wuwu before I came here. She said she will be back tomorrow and you will be able to see her tomorrow! Before that, don't disturb Wuwu. Let her be mentally prepared."
