Chapter 471 Help me find someone
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Tan Hairui couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
To put it bluntly, although he came to see Ye Wanxi, he still harbored most of his doubts about her.
"Since Miss Ye already knows, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here today to ask Miss Ye to help me find someone."
Ye Wanxi looked up at him and asked, "Your grandson?"
Tan Hairui's expression changed drastically upon hearing these three words, and his hands instinctively tightened.
How did Miss Ye know?
Ye Wanxi handed the pastry box that Yun Yuna had given her to Gao Min, looked up and stared intently at Tan Hairui's face, and said seriously, "Mr. Tan's 'Children's Palace' is dark, which means that a child has recently died. This recently deceased person should be Mr. Tan's biological daughter whom he did not have time to find."
Tan Hairui's eyelids twitched violently, but he didn't say a word about whether it was true or not.
Ye Wanxi didn't mind and continued, "However, the palace is sinking while the outer part is rising, bringing out a glimmer of hope. This hope comes from your own daughter, that is, the continuation of her life."
Ye Wanxi paused, looked Tan Hairui in the eye, and said slowly and deliberately, "Your daughter passed away not long ago, but she left you a grandson before she died, am I right?"
Tan Hairui remained silent for a while before nodding solemnly, "Yes, you are absolutely right."
While both used polite language, Tan Hairui's use of "you" was far more sincere than before.
Several months ago, Tan Hairui became suspicious of his biological daughter "Tan Xiehuan," whom he had finally found, because of Ye Wanxi's hints.
The way to verify this suspicion is simple: just do another blood test to check kinship.
However, before Tan Hairui could actually do anything, the woman gave herself away first.
She seemed to be frightened by Ye Wanxi's words about usurping someone else's place, and did a series of things that only made things more obvious.
Little did she know, the more she did, the more it proved that she had a guilty conscience.
Tan Hairui wasn't stupid; realizing that she was feeling guilty, he immediately took her to the hospital.
No matter how much she cried, begged for sympathy, or tried to evoke emotions, they insisted on getting her to undergo the paternity test.
They also had bodyguards watch the doctor produce the results throughout the process to ensure the final outcome was accurate.
As expected, the woman was indeed not his biological daughter.
The anger of being fooled did not completely consume Tan Hairui's rationality. At this moment, he was more concerned about where the original paternity test came from and where his biological daughter was.
Don't be fooled by Tan Hairui's current kind and benevolent appearance, resembling a Buddha statue in a temple. In his youth, he had no shortage of blood on his hands.
However, after losing his beloved and experiencing many other things, he gradually began to cultivate his character and spend a lot of money on charitable causes, hoping to avoid bringing misfortune upon his descendants.
That's how he evolved into his current image of being a nice, easy-going person.
But this doesn't mean that a tiger turning into a sick cat just because it has put away its claws.
Tan Hairui used a few tricks to torture the woman to the point of wishing she were dead, and she confessed everything.
It turns out that her name is Xie Menghuan, and she is the daughter of a woman named Xie Lihua.
Xie Lihua is his wife Xie Minyi's younger sister. Although they are sisters, their parents divorced and each took one child with them.
When he married his wife, the two sisters had been separated for more than 20 years. Xie Minyi probably had already forgotten what her younger sister looked like and what her name was.
Therefore, Tan Hairui had no idea that his wife had a full sister.
Once Xie Menghuan's identity was discovered, things became much simpler.
Tan Hairui quickly sent someone to investigate Xie Lihua, only to find out that more than 20 years ago, his wife had left him with their daughter and gone to teach in a remote area.
Not long after, she ran into Xie Lihua, who was also there.
The reunion of long-lost sisters is a touching event.
Not long after that, Xie Minyi died in an accident while saving a child in her class, leaving behind her young daughter who was adopted by Xie Lihua.
Less than six months later, Xie Lihua moved to the city with her two children, changed her biological daughter Tan Xiehuan's name to Xie Huanhuan, and officially registered her under her own name, making her her "daughter".
People around them didn't know about Xie Lihua's family situation. Xie Lihua was also Tan Xiehuan's aunt. The two children looked somewhat alike, so the people in the neighborhood always thought that the two children were biological children.
"If it weren't for Miss Ye's righteous words that day, which made me suspicious, I would probably have been deceived by that usurper for the rest of my life, and I would have given my affection to the murderer who harmed my daughter and son-in-law. Even in the afterlife, I would have no face to meet Ayi and Huanhuan."
Tan Hairui spoke of this with such clenched teeth that anyone who knew their beloved daughter, whom they had so happily recognized, was a fake, and that the real one had lost her life because of it, would be furious.
He was already quite restrained in not ordering the mother and daughter to be torn to pieces and thrown into the river to feed the fish.
"Xie Lihua adopted my daughter to get my wife's inheritance, but she didn't raise her properly. She made her drop out of school to work at a young age. On the other hand, her own daughter was spoiled from a young age. Even though she was at the bottom of her class, she still paid money to get her into high school."
"After recognizing me by chance, she even stole the keepsake my wife left for my daughter, causing her daughter to come to me to recognize her as her biological daughter. She even devised a plan to switch the samples in the paternity test, making me believe that she was my lost and found daughter."
"It's also my fault for being so careless. I mistakenly thought I had really found my precious daughter, and since the paternity test came back normal, I recognized her without having anyone conduct further investigation. Otherwise, Huanhuan might not be here..."
"The deceased is gone, Mr. Tan, please accept our condolences. The most urgent task is to find the one who is still alive."
Tan Hairui paused, then his eyes brightened slightly: "Miss Ye is right, what exactly is happening to my grandson now..."
He was searching for his child. After learning the truth, Tan Haisui immediately sent people to find his real daughter, only to find out that his daughter and son-in-law had died in a car accident a few months earlier.
What devastated him even more was that his daughter was heavily pregnant with his grandson when the accident happened.
Losing two loved ones overnight drove Tan Hairui to the brink of madness. He tormented Xie Menghuan relentlessly, while also making it impossible for him to let Xie Lihua go.
In order to completely erase Tan Xiehuan's existence, Xie Menghuan sent Xie Lihua abroad not long after the car accident.
Tan Hairui went to some trouble to have Xie Lihua brought back.
This woman was just a country girl who had never seen much of the world; she almost starved to death when she went abroad.
After being kidnapped by Tan Hairui's men, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled. When he realized that his plan had been exposed, he almost fainted from fright.
Just as Tan Hairui was about to break the hands and feet of the two men and throw them out, he suddenly rushed to his daughter and revealed a secret.
