Chapter 334: A Turn of Events
The old couple looked at each other, tears almost bursting out of their eyes.
At this moment, they had the same thought in their minds.
But this brought up even greater doubts.
What exactly happened back then to lead to such a result?
Seeing Lan Qiuru lowering her head sadly, Mrs. Jiang's eyes flashed slightly.
"Your hair is messy..."
She reached out and lifted the loose hair on her forehead as if with good intentions.
When he withdrew his hand, he quietly put a few strands of hair into the handkerchief and stuffed it into his pocket.
Lan Qiuru was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you."
"Miss Lan, don't give up looking for your family. Maybe you will be reunited soon." Old Master Jiang said meaningfully.
Lan Qiuru thought they were just trying to comfort her with good intentions and didn't think much about it for a while.
…
Jiang Yao didn't know what was happening at his grandparents' place. On their side, a group of young people gathered together to play Truth or Dare.
The wine bottle rotated on the smooth wooden coffee table, making a slight friction sound.
Under the dim light, several pairs of eyes were fixed on the wine bottle that was gradually slowing down, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
The next second, the bottle stopped rotating and the mouth of the bottle was pointed towards Jiang Yao.
"Wow!"
There were several gasps and chuckles from the audience.
Jiang Yao always felt that they had bad intentions, and her eyelids twitched.
"Truth or Dare?" Lian Yingying on the opposite side asked with a smile.
"Truth be told." Jiang Yao knew from her expression that if she asked for a dare, this guy might make me do something.
"Huh..." Lian Yingying seemed a little regretful, but soon she suddenly thought of something, and a cunning glint flashed in her eyes, "Are you sure?"
Although Jiang Yao had a bad feeling in his heart, he still nodded and said, "Don't talk nonsense, just ask."
"Okay!" Lian Yingying excitedly slapped her thigh, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Then I'd like to ask... when was the last time you kissed?"
Everyone in the audience looked over with curiosity and curiosity.
Jiang Yao's face flushed and he subconsciously glanced at Li Beiting beside him.
The man's gaze happened to be directed towards her, with a scorching light in his eyes that could almost burn people.
He was waiting for her to make a choice.
Should I refuse to answer and choose to drink, or tell them.
Jiang Yao's heart started pounding wildly when she was looked at. A surge of blood rushed to her head, making her inexplicably nervous.
After a while.
Under the attention of everyone in the audience, she slowly opened her mouth and uttered three words.
"Three days ago."
Her reply was tantamount to indirect disclosure.
The teasing gazes of the entire audience shifted back and forth between Li Beiting and Jiang Yao, and the boos continued to ring out.
"Three days ago, you were so busy and still had time to talk about love."
"This is simply dog abuse!"
"With whom? Where?" Lian Yingying asked with a sly smile.
Jiang Yao's cheeks turned red.
It was as if a firework was thrown into Li Beiting's heart, exploding with a crackling sound, so brilliant that he almost wanted to laugh.
However, seeing her shy look, he still tried his best to suppress his emotions and took the initiative to help her out: "That's another problem."
Lian Yingying clicked her tongue twice, "Alright, let's start the next round!"
The game continued, and the wine bottle spun again. This time, just right, the mouth of the bottle was pointed towards Li Beiting.
The whole audience exclaimed again.
However, they did not dare to be too presumptuous towards this handsome and cool man.
"Senior, do you choose truth or dare?" Lian Yingying didn't have so many concerns. She had finally got the chance and she must not let it go.
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows calmly and said slowly, "The truth."
"Okay—" Lian Yingying immediately stood up and opened her mouth to ask further questions.
At this moment, Jiang Yao, fearing she would ask something explosive, quickly reminded her, "Yingying, be careful. There are elderly people present. Don't ask questions that go beyond the previous one!"
"ah……"
Lian Yingying curled her lips in regret.
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched fiercely. This girl was really going to ask something unspeakable!
She has the nerve to ask, but I am too embarrassed to answer!
"Okay, okay." Lian Yingying could only compromise. She crossed her arms, tilted her head, and thought for a long time. Finally, an idea flashed on her. She smiled mischievously, "Senior, what I want to ask is - is there anyone here who is in love with you?"
After he finished speaking, Li Beiting and Jiang Yao's heartbeats skipped a beat at the same time.
They looked at each other reflexively.
No need for words, just a look or a gesture is enough to betray each other's hearts.
The onlookers at the scene all opened their curious eyes, held their breath, and waited for Li Beiting's answer.
After a while.
Li Beiting looked deeply into Jiang Yao's eyes and said in a low and firm voice, "Yes."
A huge ripple appeared in Jiang Yao's heart, and emotions such as joy, sweetness, and satisfaction all surged up.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Wow!" Lian Yingying was so excited that her face turned red. You know, she had witnessed the relationship between Jiang Yao and Li Beiting all the way.
She had felt many times that they should be together, but she never broke the window paper.
Now that she has finally achieved her goal, she is as happy as an old mother.
"Okay, okay! To celebrate this great day, I'm going to open a champagne tower!"
"Great!" the audience cheered.
The group played until nearly ten o'clock.
If they hadn't taken into consideration the two elderly people present, they might have played until late at night.
When returning home at night, Jiang Yao keenly noticed that the old couple seemed reluctant to leave, as if they couldn't wait to stay a little longer, and they were not sleepy at all.
"Grandpa and grandma, what's wrong with you?" She asked directly the question in her mind.
Mrs. Jiang was about to say something when her husband beside her gently pushed her back.
She quickly swallowed it and changed her words, "No, I just felt that I got along very well with Miss Lan, and I couldn't help but chat with her, so I felt a little reluctant to leave."
"Really?" Jiang Yao didn't doubt it, his eyes curved, "I knew you would like her very much. Next time you have the chance, you can invite her to our house."
"Okay!" Old Mrs. Jiang immediately agreed happily.
They chatted and laughed all the way back home. Jiang Yao sent them back to the villa and left.
The moment the door closed, the smiles on the two old men's faces faded.
After a while, Mr. Jiang said in a serious tone, "Old woman, do you think... Miss Lan could be our daughter?"
"I think there's a high probability that it's true." Old Mrs. Jiang's eyes were a little sore again. She took out a handkerchief with a few strands of hair from her bosom and said, "The easiest way is to do a paternity test. Once the results come out, everything will be clear."
They don't want to miss even a glimmer of hope.
What's more, this time, Lan Qiuru gave them a very familiar feeling.
"Okay, I'll contact the most professional agency right away." Mr. Jiang acted decisively and quickly made the phone call.
This day brought them too much shock and was too unforgettable.
They were filled with anxiety and anticipation, and they all wanted a miracle.
