Chapter 304: He's really courting death
Gu Siqing is Han Zhengping's childhood sweetheart, so Su Wenshan naturally knew everything about the Gu family, so it was very smooth when he talked to Xia Zhengming.
After hearing this, Xia Zhengming asked, "There's also a third brother?"
Su Wenshan wanted to roll his eyes. "Why is Xiao Si called Xiao Si? There must be a Lao San above him! Lao San is on the national diving team."
After saying that, he patted Xia Zhengming on the shoulder and said, "The ones that grow outside are much better than the ones that grow in your house."
Xia Zhengming: “…”
Poke where it hurts!
He stretched out his hand to push the car door open and got out, saying, "If she is really my sister, then Xiao Si is my niece. You'd better stop making sarcastic remarks."
Su Wenshan: "..."
They haven't even acknowledged you yet, but you're already acting like an uncle. My son was raised by Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju, and his position is very stable. What are you, an uncle who is only related by blood but not by family affection?
But it’s better not to tell him this, so as not to upset him.
Xia Zhengming walked back to his car with mixed feelings, opened the door and got in, "Let's go home."
The secretary had been with him for quite a while, and although his face was expressionless, she could still tell he was in a bad mood. Starting the car, the secretary carefully considered her words and said, "We've heard that an investigation has begun into Editor-in-Chief Xia's case."
Do you want to help?
The secretary didn't ask what was next, but Xia Zhengming understood. He said, "I understand."
He recalled what Su Wenshan had said earlier: those who grew up outside were much better than those who grew up at home. Xia Yuan had been too easy on herself, having been admired and admired since she was a child, which was why she had developed a lawless nature.
He already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't know whether his parents could accept it.
When he got home, he walked into the living room with a calm expression. The whole family was there today, waiting for the result of his apology to the Gu family. But he had no idea how to say it. Once the matter was said, it would definitely cause a big stir at home.
He walked to the sofa and sat down. The whole family's eyes were focused on him, but Xia Zhengming remained silent, which made everyone nervous.
Old Lady Xia looked at him and asked, "What's going on? Tell me!"
"I guess they didn't give me a good face." Xia Yi muttered softly. After hearing this, Xia Ying hit him lightly. One should choose the right time to be mean to others.
"Go ahead." Xia Qingzhang had already prepared for the worst.
Xia Zhengming sighed, "My little sister might be found."
This made the room quiet for a while, and then Mrs. Xia said in a trembling voice: "Really? You saw someone?"
The eyes of the whole family were fixed on him at this moment. Xia Zhengming gave a wry smile and said, "Yes, I saw it. It looks almost the same as you when you were young. I also saw the birthmark on your wrist."
"It's been more than 30 years! I finally found it." Old Mrs. Xia began to cry, and the tears kept flowing more and more. Even Xia Qingzhang's eyes became moist.
Xia Ying and Feng Hailan, their eyes moistened, advised Old Lady Xia, "It's a good thing that the person has been found. You should be happy."
Xia Ying wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry anymore. You have to be in good spirits to see your aunt."
"I know, I know." Old Lady Xia looked at Xia Zhengming again and said, "How is your little sister now? Is she doing well? Where is she?"
The family's attention turned to Xia Zhengming again, and he sighed again, "My little sister is the mother of the child bullied by Xia Yuan."
The room was dead silent, and then Xia Yi said, "My aunt is really courting death!"
"This, this, this, this..." Old Mrs. Xia didn't know what to say for a long time, and her tears began to flow again.
Xia Qingzhang looked exhausted and asked Xia Zhengming, "Is your little sister doing well?"
"When I arrived at the Gu family, I met Su Wenshan there. He knew about the Gu family's situation. Later I asked him about some of their circumstances. My younger sister is doing well now." Xia Zhengming said.
"What is the relationship between the Su family and the Gu family?" Xia Qingzhang couldn't help but ask.
"Su Wenshan went to the countryside and later had a child. That child grew up with Xiao Si." Xia Zhengming changed the subject and said, "Xiao Si's husband is Gu Jianguo, and they have four daughters. The eldest looks most like Xiao Si. She is now attending university in Kyoto and is engaged to Ye Chi.
The second child runs the supermarket and is engaged to Zhang Zijun. The third child is on the national diving team and previously won the provincial diving championship. Then there's the fourth child. You know the situation; he's a bright kid, already in high school at just twelve, and has published two books. The youngest sister seems to be getting along well with Gu Jianguo.
When I was at the Gu family, I didn't mention the matter of recognizing my relatives. I just wanted to come back and discuss with you what to do next."
Yes! What should I do? If Xia Yuan hadn't caused this, we would have just been affectionate and recognized each other. But what should I do now?
Xia Qingzhang was silent for a moment and then said, "Have someone investigate the specific circumstances to make sure they didn't mistake the person. Xia Yuan said hello to the investigators and told them not to worry about us. Just investigate as needed and handle the matter as needed."
"How can that be?" Old Mrs. Xia still felt sorry for Xia Yuan.
"Then do you still want to acknowledge your daughter?" Xia Qingzhang looked at Old Lady Xia and said, "The child has suffered such a great injustice. Even if we don't speak up for her, we can't just swallow our anger before we even acknowledge her."
Old Lady Xia was silent. What else could she say? Xia Yuan had committed this sin. If she didn't bear the consequences, who would?
"What a sin this is!" said Old Mrs. Xia, patting the sofa.
"Grandma, I think this will be a good thing for my aunt." Xia Ying said softly, "Think about it, if we help her deal with this matter, will she do something even more outrageous next time? Besides, don't you think my aunt has always been very self-centered? She always thinks that everyone has to revolve around her. She needs to face reality."
Xia Yi also said beside her: "She is a troublemaker. If she continues like this, she might destroy the whole family."
Feng Hailan poured Old Lady Xia a cup of tea and said with a smile, "My little sister is worthy of being your child. Look how well she lives her life. Her children are all promising, and she and her husband have a harmonious relationship. You can rest assured now."
Old Mrs. Xia felt relieved to hear this. Compared with finding her daughter who had been missing for more than forty years, Xia Yuan's matter was naturally more important.
For so many years, she could hardly sleep every night. Whenever she heard or saw a woman having a hard time or suffering, she would think of her lost daughter and wonder if she was also suffering.
Now that I know she is living a good life, I can finally put my mind at ease.
"What's her name now?" Old Mrs. Xia asked Xia Zhengming again.
"Wang Yueju." Xia Zhengming said.
"That's it," Old Lady Xia said, wiping her tears. "The family we sent her to was surnamed Wang. The man who adopted your sister is named Wang Dachuan, and the woman is named Zhang Cuihong."
Old Lady Xia naturally inquired about the family where the child was fostered and the general situation of the family. She also named the child Xia Yu.
"I'll have someone check it out right away. It should be quick." Xia Zhengming said.
Before, looking for people was like a headless fly all over the country, but now it is easier to ask because I know the accurate information.
