Chapter 830 It's just that they look alike
Old Master Qin was surprised to see Qin Mo appear.
Not only him, but also Grandpa Chi was somewhat surprised.
"You've come at the right time." As he spoke, Grandpa Chi set up the chessboard and glanced at Grandpa Qin with some dissatisfaction. "Your grandfather cheats when he can't win, and he's cheated three times already."
"Tell me honestly, who's cheating?" Old Master Qin snorted coldly.
Grandpa Chi simply said one word: "You."
Grandpa Qin: "Whoever cheats will never be able to hold their grandson in this lifetime."
Old Master Chi: "..."
Grandpa Chi coughed lightly, not intending to continue the topic, and turned to Qin Mo, saying, "Your grandfather said you have a girl you like, is that true?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Grandpa Chi's eyes widened instantly, like copper bells: "Really?"
"It's just liking, not mutual affection." Qin Mo didn't want people to pry too much, and also wanted to give Lin Tan some private space, otherwise being constantly pressured to get married would be quite annoying.
"What does that baby look like? Is it cute?" Old Master Chi stopped playing chess, never expecting that Old Man Qin's boast was actually true. "Why didn't you bring it out to see?"
"What are you looking at if he's just having a crush on someone?" Old Master Qin bluntly criticized his own grandson.
"Are there any girls you can't win over?" Old Master Chi asked curiously.
Qin Mo has always been a role model for these children from aristocratic families. He is humble, knows when to advance and retreat, is good at studying, has good abilities, and has a broad vision.
They're like everyone else's perfect child.
"That's as if he's a great pursuer," Grandpa Qin complained, criticizing his grandson for never holding back. "With his cold and aloof personality, who would like him?"
Grandpa Chi scoffed lightly: "What do you know? Young people just like aloof people."
Grandpa Qin looked at him with disdain: "Ask your daughter Chi if she likes it or not."
Grandpa Chi: "She's asking for special treatment, so it doesn't count."
Grandpa Qin: "My sweet girl doesn't like it either."
“That’s because she’s very aloof now.” Old Master Chi blurted out, showing he knew quite a bit. “Look at Huo Zhizhou, is he still aloof now? In the words of young people, he’s a loyal dog.”
Old Master Qin's lips twitched.
What kind of nonsensical descriptions are these?
"You didn't believe me when I told you you were old." Old Master Chi was secretly pleased to see him get the short end of the stick.
Grandpa Qin looked at Qin Mo: "Is what he said true?"
Qin Mo: "..."
Grandpa Chi: "Would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, search it online yourself."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin took out his phone and started pressing buttons.
Soon, one webpage after another appeared on his phone.
The more I looked at him, the more his brow furrowed.
What is all this stuff?
"You still haven't said which heiress you like," Old Master Chi asked curiously. "Is she from Haicheng?"
Qin Mo: "No."
Old Master Chi: "Jingzhou?"
Qin Mo: "She's an ordinary person."
“An ordinary person?” Old Master Chi thought for a moment, and almost instantly said the next sentence, “The fact that you like her means that she must have her own unique qualities. Family background cannot represent everything.”
Qin Mo, unusually, didn't respond, but acknowledged this statement.
"When are you going to introduce someone to Chi Yuan?" Old Master Chi changed the subject, his face full of worry. "He refuses to marry either Chi Qian or any of them, he won't even go on blind dates. It's really worrying me to death."
"There's nothing we can do. Don't force the child if they don't want to find you." Old Master Qin is no longer in a hurry and has begun to act rationally. "When the time is right, they will find their match."
“You didn’t say that before Qin Mo found you.” Old Master Chi had witnessed his fickleness. “You were always saying you didn’t know if you’d be able to see your granddaughter-in-law on the day you were buried.”
"You said that was in the past," Old Master Qin said, still maintaining his haughty demeanor.
Old Master Chi snorted coldly.
A while later.
Grandpa Chi finally turned his gaze to the silent and taciturn Qin Mo: "You came here to see your grandfather, right?"
Old Master Qin looked over.
Qin Mo hummed in agreement.
"What is it?" Old Master Qin asked.
"No rush," Qin Mo said. "You and Grandpa Chi can talk first."
That's what they say.
Old Master Qin bid farewell to Old Master Chi.
He knew Qin Mo; he wouldn't have come here to find him unless it was an emergency.
Grandpa Chi noticed this and didn't try to keep them from leaving without even having dinner.
A moment later.
Grandpa Qin got into the car with him on the way back to Jiang Ruan's place.
"Speak," said Old Master Qin, sitting in the back seat, his aged eyes looking at Qin Mo with concern. "What brings you here in such a hurry?"
"I want to know about Aunt Jun's daughter who died young." Qin Mo was quite direct in front of his grandfather.
He estimated that if it were someone else, they would have to go through several detours.
Old Master Qin paused, afraid he might have misheard: "Junyi?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Old Master Qin: "Didn't I say that last time?"
"How much do you know about their daughter who died young?" Qin Mo's voice was low and slow, his expression more serious than ever before. "Are you sure that daughter was born to Aunt Jun?"
"Nonsense, if he wasn't born to your Aunt Jun, was he born to your Uncle Xie?" Old Master Qin thought his grandson had gone mad. "How come he's getting sillier every day?"
"Did Aunt Jun's daughter have someone she trusted looking after her from birth until her death?" Qin Mo asked again.
If you were to ask this question in the Xie family, it would be extremely offensive.
So he could only ask his grandfather.
Old Master Qin: "?"
Old Master Qin paused.
Finally realizing something was off about his question: "Why are you asking this?"
"I suspect Lin Tan has connections with them," Qin Mo said, expressing his speculation.
"That's just because they look alike." Old Master Qin understood what he meant, and thinking about their last conversation, he said, "Besides, your Aunt Jun's daughter was buried by them, and Lin Tan also has his own parents..."
“She didn’t,” Qin Mo interrupted. “She was picked up and raised by her adoptive parents.”
Old Master Qin was stunned.
A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"She only found out recently." Qin Mo wanted to find clues from his grandfather. If the clues were suitable, he could talk to Uncle Xie and Aunt Jun and ask them to do a paternity test with Lin Tan.
“She is not related to her current parents by blood,” Qin Mo continued. “They found her next to a trash can in Jinhuai Town.”
“Even if Lin Tan isn’t her parents’ biological child, Junyi and his wife buried their child themselves.” Old Master Qin sighed. “I know you want to find a backer for Lin Tan so that your mother will have fewer complaints about her, but these things can’t be done just by thinking about them.”
Upon hearing this...
Qin Mo knew then that the hope was slim.
"It's fine if you mention those things in front of me, but don't say them in front of your Aunt Jun and Uncle Xie," Grandpa Qin reminded them. "That child is a lifelong pain for them, and even now, they haven't fully recovered."
"Is there really no possibility at all?" Qin Mo still felt that they looked too alike. If you mixed up Aunt Jun's photos from when she was young with Lin Tan's, without considering the age, it would be almost impossible to tell who was who.
