Yu Chengyuan looked bewildered, wondering why Madam Zhou was so agitated towards him.
And when she said "too similar, too similar," was she referring to herself?
Could it be that I look like an old friend of Madam Zhou?
Jiang Haiyang was also completely baffled, scratching his head as he asked, "Madam Zhou, what's going on...?"
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
You haven't met Xiaoyu before, have you?
I forgot to tell you, he's that young man who stood up for what was right.
Zhu Lin realized she had lost her composure and quickly calmed herself down.
"Old Zhou, it's nothing. I just thought I saw an old friend."
The age just doesn't match.
Zhu Lin thought to herself that she was really getting senile; if her older brother were still alive, he wouldn't be so young.
So many years have passed, and my elder brother may no longer be in this world. Otherwise, how could the Zhu family have searched for so many years without any news?
Even if there are rumors, they are all false. Over the years, there have been people who have come to claim the bonus, but none of them are true.
The young man in front of me probably just looks like him.
There must be people in the world who look alike!
Perhaps the world is too small.
Yu Chengyuan realized that he had mistaken someone for someone else; he had even thought just now…
It was probably because they looked somewhat alike that Madam Zhou mistook one of them for another.
This made him somewhat happy, as he thought he could find his father's family.
It seems like it was just a false alarm.
"Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, it is a great honor for me to have you come to my new home for the banquet."
Please sit down and have some tea and fruit.
Yu Chengyuan put aside his own thoughts and began to warmly welcome them.
Just as Yu Chengyuan was pouring tea for them, the Qilin jade pendant that was inside his clothes fell out.
Zhu Lin, who had just been quiet, immediately stood up again, pointed at the jade pendant on Yu Chengyuan's chest, and asked excitedly, "Xiao Yu, where did you get this Qilin jade pendant?"
This is a family heirloom; many years ago, her eldest brother wore this jade pendant.
They have been searching for this all these years.
I never expected to see this in Xiaoyu.
Yu Chengyuan was even more shocked. He looked down at the jade pendant and wondered if it was related to his father's background.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Is there something wrong with this jade pendant?
Seeing his wife so excited, Zhou Huaiyu began to have doubts.
Could this young man in front of me have some connection with the Zhu family?
But the wife's surname is Zhu, while the young man's surname is Yu, which are completely different surnames!
Yu Chengyuan instinctively gripped the jade pendant and asked, "Madam Zhou, do you recognize this Qilin jade pendant?"
This jade pendant was worn by my father when he was taken home by someone.
My father put this on me a few days ago, saying it might be a family heirloom.
"Xiaoyu, you said this Qilin jade pendant belongs to your father. Can I meet your father?"
When Zhu Lin heard Yu Chengyuan say that his father was adopted, she became even more certain that the young man in front of her was a member of the Zhu family.
Maybe it's her eldest brother's child, her nephew.
"Of course! I'll go and fetch my father right now; he's busy in the kitchen!"
Yu Chengyuan nodded, thinking that this Mrs. Zhou was most likely his father's family member.
People may resemble each other, but it's impossible for them to have the same objects. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
"Second brother, you stay here with Boss Zhou and the others. I'll go and call my father-in-law over."
Jiang Haiyang stopped Yu Chengyuan, asking him to stay, and then turned and walked out.
"Madam, don't you also have a Qilin jade pendant?"
Zhou Huaiyu remembered that his wife also had an identical jade pendant with a qilin design.
Could this young man be a long-lost relative of my wife's family?
The wife has an older brother who has been missing for many years and there has been no news of him. She knows that the Zhu family has never given up looking for him.
Now that we've calculated his age, his brother-in-law, who's been living away from home, must be over forty by now, right?
Based on this calculation, Xiaoyu is the brother-in-law's child, that is, his nephew.
If that's really the case, then it truly is fate.
"Xiaoyu, could you take off your Qilin jade pendant so my wife and I can take a look?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaiyu spoke up.
"Of course, Mr. Zhou, please feel free to look around."
Zhou Huaiyu carefully examined the jade pendant and nodded, saying, "That's right, the style, texture, and unique Qilin pattern on this jade pendant are exactly the same as my wife's."
"Honey, quickly take out yours and compare them."
Zhu Lin nodded, then took off the jade pendant with a qilin design from her neck and handed it to her husband.
Yu Chengyuan also came in to take a look, and indeed, the two jade pendants were exactly the same.
“Old Zhou, the jade pendant is exactly the same. Xiao Yu really is the eldest brother’s child.”
Our Zhu family has been searching for so many years, and today we are finally going to find it.
"Old Zhou, look at Xiao Yu, doesn't he look a lot like his father?"
Zhu Lin grabbed her husband's arm and said excitedly.
Her eyes instantly reddened, and tears began to fall.
They finally found their eldest brother before their father passed away.
"Wife, don't get agitated. Let's wait for Xiaoyu's father to arrive, ask him again, and then make a decision."
Once we've confirmed it, we'll call home and tell our parents.
Zhou Huaiyu felt it was better to be on the safe side, rather than end up with nothing to show for it.
After all, the elderly person is suffering from depression due to missing their loved ones and cannot be subjected to too much stimulation.
