There's no going back in life, and you can't restart your life.
The topic was a bit heavy, and the atmosphere in the main room became somewhat oppressive for a moment.
Su Xiao shifted uncomfortably.
She agreed to Qin Huifang's request to come and inquire about the situation, hoping to take this opportunity to get to know the Gu family better. Although she had a feeling that the original owner was very likely the Gu family's lost daughter, due to the many coincidences, there were also many questions. She didn't want to rashly acknowledge her relatives before she had a clear understanding of the situation.
Moreover, the jade pendant used for the family reunion had been smashed, leaving her with no evidence.
Although she felt that relying solely on physical evidence to establish kinship was rather unreliable.
It's best to do a paternity test.
She remembered that paternity testing was only introduced to China around 1982, and became widespread even later. However, it must have been available abroad much earlier.
Now, she's getting involved under the guise of being Qin Huifang's neighbor, simply wanting to secretly investigate the truth of what happened back then. Then, she'll make further plans.
Actually, she wasn't interested in recognizing relatives, nor did she have much expectation of it.
After all, she wasn't the original owner. Even though Xiao Liu said that her soul was in harmony with the original owner's, everyone's experiences and thoughts were different. Especially now that she was in control of this body, the original owner's aura had long since dissipated, and the memories the original owner left her were all of her happy life at seventeen under the protection of her parents and brothers in the Su family.
Although she sympathized with the Gu family, she decided to wait and see what happened first due to various concerns.
Furthermore, given Gu Tingjiang's dislike for Qin Huifang, she estimated that getting Gu Tingjiang to help find Gu Zhiguo was unlikely to succeed.
Perhaps sensing her hesitation, Old Master Gu said, "Just say what you have to say. Why are you being so coy?"
Su Xiao gave an awkward smile. "Sir, I do have a few questions I'd like to ask. Did Mr. Gu mention them when he returned?"
"What did you say?" Old Master Gu asked.
"It's about finding Gu Zhiguo, Ms. Qin's son, who is also Mr. Gu's son. He's been missing for six days." Su Xiaoping stated the matter directly.
Grandpa Gu was silent for a moment, then said, "Tingjiang didn't say anything when he came back that the woman had given birth to a son?"
"I know my fault." He murmured a few times, holding the name in his mouth, then shook his head and sighed, "This name is not good."
Su Xiao couldn't help but recall Qin Huifang's madness that day, and could only sigh. People really shouldn't act impulsively. They should think things through more carefully, considering what they should and shouldn't do.
It's one thing to suffer the consequences of one's own mistakes, but it's even worse when it drags down one's family and children.
"Yes, I heard that the child has had a tough life. He was never liked by his stepfather, who constantly beat and scolded him, and he had a very hard life. Three years ago, his stepfather passed away, his mother became paralyzed and bedridden, and he had a younger sister to support. The entire burden of the family fell on his shoulders. A few days ago, his sister fell ill, and the family's savings were depleted. Just as his sister recovered, Ms. Qin fell ill, and he went out to raise money and then disappeared..."
Keep in mind that three years ago, he was only fourteen years old.
Gu Zhiguo's affairs were all things she had learned from Jin Ling in the past few days.
Qin Huifang deserved her punishment, but Gu Zhiguo and Jin Ling were completely innocent.
Adults' grievances should not involve children.
This is also why she agreed to let Qin Huifang come and inquire about the situation.
Gu Tingjiang could punish Qin Huifang however he wanted, but Gu Zhiguo felt that he shouldn't have been so indifferent and let things go unchecked.
Old Master Gu remained silent for a long while before saying, "I will send someone to investigate."
