Qiu Yumei glanced at He Lin in the distance again, "Oh, I see. Gu Qian's friend seems quite extraordinary."
That man exuded an aura of nobility that ordinary people could not possess.
Qiu Yan nodded in agreement: "The person seems unusual, but unfortunately..." As she spoke, she pointed to her head, "There's something wrong here."
She had some doubts: how could someone as intelligent as Gu Qian make friends with someone like that?
Qiu Yumei: "Are you out of your mind?"
"Haha..." Gu Xiaoran chuckled, "He's just crazy. He even mistook his mother for Shu'er just now."
"My mother's name is clearly Yan Yan."
Qiu Yan gently patted Gu Xiaoran's head, "You brat, how dare you call me Yan Yan?"
“Shu’er?” Qiu Yumei murmured, “This name sounds so familiar… Oh, right, Sister Ye’s daughter is also named Shu’er.”
Zhao San nodded in agreement, "I haven't seen the Li family's daughter for many years."
Gu Xiaoran shook her head slightly, "No, no, there are no daughters in the house, only two uncles, one named Li Wenhan and the other named Li Wenqing."
"Li Wenshu," Qiu Yan murmured, then suddenly looked in He Lin's direction.
Then, her gaze fell on Gu Xiaoran in her arms.
No wonder she felt she recognized He Lin from the first moment she saw him.
Upon closer inspection, Gu Xiaoran's appearance was about 50% similar to that of the man from before.
Thinking about what the man had just said, she seemed to have guessed something...
Qiu Yan's gaze fell upon Ling Qi and the other person at the bow of the boat.
After she told Gu Xiaoran to follow her aunt, she walked towards the bow of the boat.
"Who exactly is that man?" she asked the two of them.
Ling Qi hesitated for a moment, "He is the general's cousin."
Qiu Yan: "Cousin? My biological cousin?" The relationship isn't confusing at all.
Qiu Yan seemed to have never heard Gu Qian mention his family.
Ling Ba nodded: "Yes, the general's aunt is his birth mother, and they are cousins."
Qiu Yan: "Xiao Ran and that man just now, they are father and son, right?"
"Father and son?" Ling Qi asked suspiciously. "Isn't Xiao Ran the general's child?"
“You mean, Xiao Ran is…” Ling Ba suddenly realized, and stopped abruptly.
It turns out that their general was not promiscuous.
Qiu Yan thought to herself, "So, these two were unaware of this either."
Ling Qi turned around, picked up Gu Xiaoran from Qiu Yumei's arms, and looked her up and down.
Upon closer inspection, they do look very similar.
However, Xiao Ran does resemble the general somewhat, especially her eyes.
Gu Xiaoran was a little out of breath from Ling Qi's hug. He protested, "Uncle Ling Qi, it's very uncomfortable for you to hold me like this."
Qiu Yan remembered that Li Wenshu had married several years ago. She looked at Ling Ba, lowered her voice, and asked him, "Do you know why Sister Wenshu died?"
Ling Ba did not reply, but his gaze was fixed on the man in the distance.
He never expected that Li Wenshu, a name that was gradually being forgotten, would be mentioned by Qiu Yan tonight.
Qiu Yan glanced casually into the distance, then asked:
"Are they a couple?"
“It used to be.”
"What do you mean by 'used to be'?"
"He was divorced."
"Divorced?" Upon hearing the words "divorced," Qiu Yan thought of Ye Shi's love for her daughter and felt a pang of sadness.
At the same time, she had more prejudices against He Lin.
Why was he dismissed?
Ling Ba shook his head, "I don't know either. I suppose it's because I'm fickle."
Qiu Yan didn't press the matter further.
Suddenly hearing the gurgling sound of lake water, she turned around and saw He Lin and his servant riding in a boat, chasing after her from afar.
