Xia Shige lowered her eyes slightly. How could Lu Siyuan know this?
But she remained expressionless, and asked in confusion: "He Yu? Who is He Yu? Someone is missing, why are you asking me here instead of calling the police?"
Lu Siyuan stared at Xia Shige, trying to find any flaws on her face, but he saw nothing.
Xia Shige's expression was very calm, her eyes were clear, and there was no trace of panic in her pupils.
Xia Guocheng and the others looked at Lu Siyuan vigilantly, fearing that Lu Siyuan would suddenly pounce on them and hurt Xia Shige.
But Lu Siyuan just stood there silently looking at Xia Shige for a while, then turned and left.
Only after the two left did the Xia family and the Du family mother and daughter breathe a sigh of relief.
Sun Yuegui said with some disdain: "I came out to see an art exhibition, and how come I ran into these two people? It's really bad luck!"
Xia Guocheng also nodded and said, "Both mother and son are acting weird. Look at the look in the boy's eyes just now. It's obvious that he is not at ease!"
Aunt Du also came to her senses at this point. Although she didn't know the Lu family, she had heard some gossip about wealthy families, so she asked curiously, "Is that the Lu family member just now? The Lu family that took the wrong child before? So you and the Lu family took the wrong daughter?"
"No, no, the girl named Lu Sixue in their family is not my child." Sun Yuegui explained quickly: "Shi Ge was picked up by my eldest sister from the street. As for the adopted daughter in their family now, who knows where she came from!"
Grandma Du, who was standing by, was a little puzzled when she heard this: "For a wealthy family like the Lu family, all their property is in a private hospital with specialized medical staff and nannies to take care of them. How could they have mistaken their own daughter?"
Aunt Du thought about it and said, "Even if it was an accidental mistake, the people who can give birth in such a private hospital must be wealthy families. Why would they abandon the child on the roadside?"
Grandma Liu had also wondered about this question, but too much time had passed. Everything that happened 20 years ago could no longer be verified.
What's more, this is not something they should verify. The Lu family themselves are too lazy to check it, so who can say more?
Aunt Du brainstormed and whispered to the others, "I've heard some stories about wealthy families. The drivers and servants in those wealthy families would secretly swap their own children with the mistress's children, and abandon the real daughters because they didn't want to raise children. Do you think it would happen..."
Xia Shige didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. She replied, "Aunt Du, I didn't expect you like watching TV dramas so much."
After chatting and laughing, they regained their mood and continued to visit the exhibition.
Xia Shige also noticed the ancient painting that Xu Yilan had been staring at. She looked up and saw it for a few seconds, and couldn't help feeling surprised.
She recognized that this was one of the paintings passed down from Xu Yilan's family. The Xu family was a family of scholars, and these ancient paintings were like their lifeblood. Unexpectedly, Xu Yilan took them out and sold them.
Xia Shige could only sigh that Lu Sixue and Xu Yilan were worthy of being mother and daughter, one selling her grandmother's heirloom jewelry, and the other selling her grandfather's heirloom calligraphy and paintings.
Xia Shige couldn't wait to see what the Lu family would look like when they were liquidated at the beginning of the year.

The next morning, Xia Shige picked up her phone and checked the group messages again. She didn't know whether the fire in Mount Qi was out.
As soon as I clicked into the group chat, I saw a series of videos, all taken by high-level users in the community.
Xia Shige clicked on the video and saw that it was completely dark. It must have been filmed last night.
There were no lights around and it was pitch black everywhere, except for the unusually bright mountain fire in the distance, which illuminated the night sky like a fire dragon.
The flames devoured everything wantonly, like a nightmare from hell, bringing danger and disaster to the world.
There is another video taken this morning, showing thick black smoke in the sky in the distance. The smoke is like a black dragon, swirling up into the air, almost swallowing up the blue sky.
Xia Shige's heart sank. The fire had been burning for a whole day and night without going out.
"4-1209 is slacking off: Why hasn't the fire been put out yet? Is it because of a lack of water? I'm really scared."
"2-1908 Coconut trees: It's not because of lack of water. Wildfires are hard to put out, mainly because there are so many trees that it's hard to control the fire."
"4-2009 Sister Ni: Yes, it is said that because the high temperature and drought lasted for more than half a year, many trees dried up and were very easy to ignite. It is impossible to extinguish them."
"4-1209 is slacking off: God, please let it rain, please."
