Chapter 333 Could she be the daughter of the Jiang family?
Old Mrs. Jiang was also interested.
"Oh, is it Lan Yatou's treat?"
At this moment, Mr. Jiang also came down from upstairs after practicing calligraphy. "In that case, I have to give her this face."
Mrs. Jiang was very surprised when she heard this. "Don't you dislike this kind of lively occasion?"
"This is a celebration of our granddaughter's successful technological research and development. How could we miss it? Besides, you would definitely like that blue girl if you met her."
After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang became even more curious, "Then I have to go and take a look."
Seeing that the two old men agreed, Jiang Yao was delighted.
"Then grandpa and grandma, you guys get ready first. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes, and we'll be leaving soon."
After going upstairs, she took out her cell phone and quietly made a call.
When Jiang Yao had packed up and was taking the old couple out, Li Beiting happened to come out of the villa opposite.
"Beiting, what a coincidence! Did you just get back too?"
Jiang Yao pretended to be surprised and invited him to attend the celebration party.
Li Beiting seemed hesitant, afraid of disturbing them.
Watching the interaction between the two, Mr. Jiang shook his head helplessly, "Alright, alright, if you want to go together, then go ahead!"
It was obvious that these two people had discussed it in advance, and they were still acting in front of these two old people. It was really lame.
Jiang Yao stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled at Li Beiting.
Half an hour later, the group of four arrived at the top floor of the hotel according to the address.
There were thirty or forty members participating, so the entire floor was booked.
Everyone can eat, drink, chat, and even play games at will.
When they saw the two noble old men coming, the members stood up and greeted them politely.
"Everyone should eat and drink, don't be restrained."
Perhaps because the old couple acted very casually, everyone returned to their previous lively mood.
Old Mrs. Jiang's eyes searched the crowd, looking for the happy aunt Qin they were talking about.
But I never found it.
"Grandma." Jiang Yao helped the old woman find a place to sit down. "Auntie seems to have gone out for something. She will be back soon. Please eat something first!"
She placed the cutlery and several dishes in front of the old lady.
Soon someone called her over to play games.
"You are the protagonist of this show. Go and play with them. I am happy to be alone." Old Mrs. Jiang waved at her, indicating that she could leave.
"Grandma and grandpa, call me if you need anything." Jiang Yao and Li Beiting left together.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at her granddaughter's back with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction. She then picked up her chopsticks and took two bites of the food while talking to the old man beside her.
At this moment, a voice as clear as flowing water sounded above his head.
"You must be Yaoyao's grandmother, the old lady of the Jiang family."
Old Mrs. Jiang's heart trembled.
It was clearly an unfamiliar voice, but a strange premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
Old Mrs. Jiang put down her cutlery and slowly looked up, and what came into her sight was a dignified and elegant face.
The woman looked to be in her forties, with fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Although they didn't look very similar, the first time I saw her, a sense of familiarity as if we were connected by blood came over me.
Maybe others can't understand.
But Mrs. Jiang's eyes turned red on the spot.
Lan Qiuru quickly bent down and asked with concern: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"
For some reason, when she saw the old man's face, her heart trembled, as if she had seen him before.
When she saw her eyes turn red, her heart also tightened.
"I'm fine. Something just got stuck in my eye." Old Madam Jiang quickly calmed herself down, but her gaze remained fixed on the woman. "Are you Miss Lan Qiuru?"
"Did Yaoyao mention me to you?" Lan Qiuru curled her lips, her eyes gentle. "I'm Lan Qiuru, old lady. It's an honor to meet you. I don't know why, but you give me a very kind feeling."
"What a coincidence, I feel the same way." Old Mrs. Jiang took her hand and asked her to sit down. She started chatting with her about Jiang Yao. The more they talked, the more they felt they had a good relationship.
Old Master Jiang standing by knew what she was suspicious about, but he had secretly checked last time and found that Lan Qiuru did not have the familiar birthmark on her neck.
She couldn't be their daughter.
But seeing how happy she was at the moment, he couldn't bear to interrupt.
Old Mrs. Jiang had no idea what he was thinking.
The more they talked, the more familiar she felt. Even after twenty years, she still remembered the way mother and daughter got along very clearly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Old Lady Jiang pretended to be casual and asked tentatively, "Come to think of it, I've been to the Qin family's banquets a few times before, but how come I've never seen you there, let alone heard that the Lan family has a little daughter? If I knew, we might have become close friends regardless of age difference!"
Lan Qiuru had no guard against her. "Actually, I was adopted by the Lan family more than 20 years ago. I was seriously injured in my early years and have been receiving treatment in a foreign hospital."
Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's heart skipped a beat.
"Seriously injured, how could you be seriously injured?"
There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
"I don't really know the details of what happened. I think I was in an accident. I had burns on my face and body. I had to undergo multiple plastic surgery and it took about two years to fully recover."
Lan Qiuru sighed when she mentioned that past event. "During that time, I lost all my memories. If it weren't for my adoptive parents who kindly treated and adopted me, I wouldn't be alive today."
The cutlery in Mr. Shen's hand fell onto the table, and he looked shocked.
Old Mrs. Jiang even covered her chest with her hands, her breathing was trembling. She used all her strength to restrain the urge to cry.
Everything fits together.
Why did her face become so different, why did she no longer have a birthmark.
The birthmark was erased because the skin burns were repaired.
In the tragic car accident and explosion that year, both the daughter and son-in-law were completely destroyed, and only tombstones were erected for them.
They all thought they were definitely dead.
Now, it seems that everything has turned around.
"Old man, Madam, what's wrong with you?" Lan Qiuru looked confused.
Mrs. Jiang took a deep breath, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in her heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "I, we just feel so sorry for you. You are so young and yet you have to go through such pain. Poor child, you have suffered so much."
Lan Qiuru smiled gently, "That's all in the past. I'm fine now, aren't I?"
"My child, you have lost your memory and suffered so much. Have you ever thought about looking for your relatives?" Old Master Jiang felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"I did think about it, but my adoptive parents were so good to me, and I was afraid they would be resentful if I went looking for my biological parents, so I endured it at first. Later... in the vast sea of people, and with so much time having passed, my hope became even slimmer."
But even so, Lan Qiuru did not give up the search.
She always felt that there was a very important piece of memory missing in her heart.
If she doesn't find it back, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
