Shang Ziming actually knew that Su Xiao didn't have those kinds of feelings for Tian Zhibing, but seeing her suddenly paying attention to another man, he couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.
At this moment, Su Xiao said that Tian Zhibing looked familiar?
Shang Ziming was slightly taken aback, then surprised, "Brother-in-law?"
Indeed, upon closer reflection, Tian Zhibing's features bear a striking resemblance to Su Qiang's.
Su Xiao nodded, recalling the past, "My mother's surname is Tian. More than 20 years ago, the Tian family was fleeing famine and passed through Nancheng. My mother was traded by my grandmother for a bag of corn and married my father. When I first saw Tian Zhibing, I felt that his eyebrows and eyes looked a lot like my brother's. I will go to the Tian family the day after tomorrow and find out more."
Upon hearing this, Shang Ziming immediately replied, "Should I investigate this?"
"Is it convenient?" Su Xiao was delighted and looked at him expectantly. It would be even better if he could do some preliminary research first before coming to inquire.
Shang Ziming smiled, "I'll give you the answer tomorrow."
Su Xiao smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you."
"Don't be so polite with me." Shang Ziming put down his water glass and stood up. "Then I'll be going. You should get some rest."
Shang Ziming was very busy. Today, he had taken on Su Xiao's task without authorization, so he had to quickly instruct his subordinates to carry it out, since he needed to know the results tomorrow.
The following evening, Shang Ziming brought the investigation results, confirming that the Tian family had indeed settled in Shanghai more than twenty years ago, which matched what Su Xiao had said.
The elderly couple in the Tian family have long since passed away, but all four of their sons survived and are doing quite well.
The eldest son, Tian Rongyao, is Tian Shuang's father. He is the workshop director of a steel factory. His wife is a local from Shanghai and has some family connections. He works in the neighborhood committee and they have two sons and a daughter.
The eldest son, Tian Zhiwei, got a job at the local post office through his maternal family connections; the second son, Tian Zhibing, works as a chef at a hotel; and Tian Shuang now works at the neighborhood health center.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here! Come in quickly." Su Xiao arrived early at the address, and Tian Shuang, who had been waiting for a long time, opened the door. Upon seeing her, she quickly took her hand and led her into the house.
Su Xiao, carrying her things in one hand, followed Tian Shuang to the main room of the Tian family home with a smile.
"Uncle, Auntie, hello." Su Xiao greeted the two people in the room and placed the things she had brought on the table.
"So you're the little one Xiaoshuang's been talking about all along! Welcome, welcome! You're so pretty! Oh, you've come all this way, why did you bring anything? You're too kind." Mother Tian, being a local, was very welcoming from the start.
"Auntie, it's rare that Xiaoshuang and I hit it off so well. I'm sorry to bother you today," Su Xiao replied politely with a smile.
"Don't bother her. My Xiaoshuang is simple-minded. She was easily fooled at school and didn't make any good friends. We were always worried that she would be lonely. Now that you're here, she's very happy."
“I’m also very happy. Xiaoshuang is a good person and deserves to be treated with care.”
Tian's mother was a shrewd and worldly person. After so many years in the streets, she had developed a keen eye for detail.
Two days ago, her son and daughter came back and told her about Su Xiao. She was worried that her daughter would be fooled. Now that they met and chatted for a while, Su Xiao's eyes were clear and she was poised and generous. She had passed her test and had developed a fondness for Su Xiao.
"You're such a good kid, so honest and endearing. Have you had breakfast yet? I'll make you some sweet egg soup..."
"No need, no need, I'll eat it. Auntie, don't rush, let's sit down and chat." Su Xiao quickly waved her hand.
