During the hour of Hai.
"Ang'er, don't eat too fast, your stomach will feel uncomfortable..."
At this time, Su Xingyi was leading Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen to appreciate the freshly made paintings, and he would turn back from time to time to give instructions to Su Ningan.
"Dad, don't worry. I'll go for a run to help digest the food. I won't feel sick to my stomach. Then I'll take a nice hot spring bath and continue painting tomorrow..."
As soon as Meng Zilu closed his eyes, he would think of Su Ningwen and couldn't fall asleep for a while.
He turned his head to look at the sleeping Meng Yunqian, then got up after a moment, put on his coat and went to the yard.
"Uncle Zilu, you came just in time. My eldest brother has finished his painting."
Su Ningjie pulled Meng Zilu to the front of the painting and brought a lamp, fearing that he couldn't see clearly.
Meng Zilu glanced at Su Ningwen for a few seconds before leaning over to admire the painting.
Meng Zilu looked at the "pleasing to the eye" picture in front of him, his eyes full of amazement.
The ten-meter-long painting captures almost the entire scenery of Shili Langyao.
The expressions of the tourists in the painting are very vivid, especially the way they catch fish by the river...
When his eyes swept over Su Ningwen who was squatting in front of the fish bucket and reaching into the bucket to grab the fish, he paused for a moment and pursed the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
The little guy looks so cute in the painting!
"Uncle Zilu, this is you." Su Ningjie pointed, "Does my eldest brother's painting look like you?"
Meng Zilu quickly shifted his gaze to look at himself, "Hmm, it looks a lot like me. Your elder brother's painting skills are first-rate. If this 'pleasing to the eye' painting is put up for auction, it will definitely fetch a good price."
Su Ningjie was delighted. If even Uncle Zilu approved of him, there would be more people who would approve of his elder brother.
Not long after, Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen rolled up the scroll and returned to their room yawning.
"Ang'er, Dad will accompany you to help digest the food."
"Brother Su, I can't sleep, so I'd like to go for a walk with you guys." Meng Zilu said.
"Okay, let's go together."
Along the way, Meng Zilu chatted with Su Xingyi.
Seeing that Meng Zilu had something to say to his father, Su Ning'an strode away and jogged around the large open-air hot spring pool.
"Brother Su, Zilu really admires you for bringing Hanyu back from the mass grave and raising him so well."
Su Xingyi said, "I was just passing by and saw him crying loudly. I couldn't bear to leave him alone. He was so weak that he used all his strength to cling to my trouser legs and wouldn't let me leave. I had no choice but to bring him home and raise him well... The bond between father and son is unstoppable."
Meng Zilu smiled and said, "Indeed, the fate of father and son cannot be stopped. Four years ago, I didn't expect that I would have a son. I thought my wife was pregnant with a girl, but it turned out to be a son."
"Yes, this is the fate of father and son. Whether it's a biological or adopted son, it's all destined."
Hearing this, Meng Zilu glanced at Su Xingyi's profile, especially his equally thick ears, which were obviously different from Su Ningwen's.
"Brother Su, I guess Brother Wen is also your adopted son, right?"
Su Xingyi's alarm bells rang, but he said calmly, "What do you mean?"
Meng Zilu said, "His thick ears with hanging pearls are as dignified as the ears of Buddha. Although I have never seen his true appearance, I just had this idea after looking at your ears up close."
Su Xingyi's heart tightened.
No matter how hard I tried to be on guard day and night, I was still discovered.
The mask covered his face but did not hide his prominent ears.
Wrong decision!
"Zi Lu, he is my son. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different. It is not accurate to assume that he is my adopted son based solely on his appearance."
Brother Wen’s eyebrows and eyes don’t look like yours?
Meng Zilu didn't dare to say this out loud. Thinking about what happened to Lu Hanyu, Brother Wen probably had someone persecuting him.
Su Xingyi denied it and was protecting Wen Ge'er.
After a brief thought, Meng Zilu understood.
"Brother Su, forgive my abruptness, but what you said makes sense. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different. It is not rigorous to make random guesses based on appearance alone."
After Su Ning'an came back from running all sweaty, Meng Zilu returned to his own room. With his worries at ease, Meng Zilu lay down and fell asleep quickly.
Su Xingyi couldn't sleep...
Su Xingyi quietly entered Xiao Lingyu's room and saw Xiao Lingyu sleeping unconscious with Xiao Xier in his arms.
I can only tell Xiaoyu about it tomorrow.
The next day, after breakfast, Su Xingyi took Xiao Lingyu to the deserted mangroves in the distance.
"Xiao Yu, Meng Zilu looked carefully at my ears last night and guessed that Wen Ge'er was not my biological son."
Xiao Lingyu was surprised: "What did you say?"
"I said Brother Wen is my son. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different... I was inconsiderate enough not to cover Brother Wen's ears."
Xiao Lingyu frowned. "Although Wen'er's ears are very attractive, they cover half of his face after all. It's not possible to judge Wen'er as our adopted son just by his ears. Unless someone around Meng Zilu has the same ears, he will pay attention. When you came here yesterday, do you remember what they said?"
Su Xingyi thought for a moment, "They said Wen Ge'er has nice ears and they wanted to touch them."
"I think Meng Zilu has had his eye on our Wen Ge'er's ears for a long time, and is even more interested in the face beneath the mask..."
Xiao Lingyu slapped his forehead. "I remember now. Meng Zilu took Wen Ge'er to see Meng Yunqian yesterday. Did Meng Zilu coax Wen Ge'er to take off his mask on the way there?"
Su Xingyi said, "I'll go ask Su Yun."
Soon, Su Yun was called over and reported to the couple truthfully what happened yesterday when Su Ningjie beat up Luo Minghao and Su Ningwen's mask was knocked off.
Xiao Lingyu frowned: "Su Yun, remember next time, the young masters must report everything to me on the same day, no matter whether it is big or small, and you are not allowed to hide it for them!"
"Yes! Ma'am!"
"Okay, step back."
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said to Su Xingyi, "Didn't Meng Zilu suddenly get excited last night? I think it was because of Su Ningwen's matter that he accompanied you and your son to the hot spring villa."
Su Xingyi said, "I don't think Meng Zilu would say anything nonsense."
"It's very likely that Wen Ge'er's biological parents are among Meng Zilu's acquaintances."
“Then should we check the people around Meng Zilu and find Wen Ge’er’s family as soon as possible?”
Xiao Lingyu looked at Su Xingyi: "Do you want to find Wen Ge'er's family as soon as possible?"
"No!" Su Xingyi shook his head. "Wen'er is so well behaved. I haven't had enough of being his father yet. I don't want him to be like Jie'er and run around like this too soon."
Xiao Lingyu said, "If that's the case, then why don't we investigate it for now?"
Su Xingyi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. "Now that we have a clue, we still need to investigate. The perpetrators who persecuted him might also know Meng Zilu. And Wen Ge'er should have guessed that he was also my adopted child. Once we find out the family that doted on him, we can then ask Wen Ge'er what he thinks and see if he wants to be reunited with his family."
"Okay! I'll do as you say."
