the next day.
Gu Yuanhong received a letter out of the blue.
The above content is very well written. I want to know why Li Yaxian is so good to Qiao Xiyan, unconditionally so, and even wants to take her son back to the Gu family.
Knowing full well how much you hate Qiao Xiyan, I still let you trample on my bottom line.
Gu Yuanhong knew it was wrong of him to be so uneasy over an unsigned letter.
But he just couldn't control his wild thoughts.
Li Yaxian went too far in her relationship with Qiao Xiyan's friend, even going so far as to oppose the Gu family for her sake.
The reason she said those things about Si Nian yesterday was because Si Nian was unwilling to help her...
That's why Si Nian's nose isn't a nose, and his eyes aren't eyes.
Gu Sinian was their second child, a son. Logically, Li Yaxian should have doted on her son more, but everything changed after he was born.
It became something he couldn't understand.
The first child was Si Qing, a girl. Li Yaxian had always wanted to have a son to carry on the Gu family line.
He felt very depressed for a time because his son didn't love him...
No matter what, they are all his children, and he treats them all the same. However, Li Yaxian's approach is very strange, so strange that he sometimes doubts whether Si Nian is his son.
Although his son doesn't look like him, he does resemble his father...
Li Yaxian's answer was that she couldn't like Gu Sinian because his face looked too much like the old man's. Seeing him was like seeing the old man, and she instinctively felt scared.
He chose to believe Li Yaxian's explanation, since everyone in the Gu family knew that Li Yaxian was genuinely afraid of the old man.
However, Li Yaxian's concern for Qiao Xiyan went too far. She was willing to commit crimes for her sake and wasted many years in the countryside. Now that she has returned, she is heading to prison again.
She even visited the child at the orphanage and was a bit too kind to the child, spending all the money she had on buying things for him.
Yes, why is he so good to Qiao Xiyan? Would two people who have no relationship do so much for each other?
Doubt is like a seed; once sown, it will eventually take root and sprout.
Two seeds of doubt sprouted in his heart.
Just as the letter said, there are secrets hidden within.
Qiao Xiyan does look very much like Li Yaxian; some people used to jokingly say that she and Qiao Xiyan were mother and daughter.
The more he thought about it, the more unsettling it became; he couldn't quite understand the intricacies of the situation.
Gu Sinian and Qiao Xiyan are only a year apart in age, so there's no way they could have switched the children.
Furthermore, Gu Si, being older, resembles a member of the Gu family, which is beyond doubt.
Gu Yuanhong had other ideas. Li Yaxian had cheated on him during their marriage and gave birth to Qiao Xiyan.
But the timing doesn't match up. Qiao Xiyan is only one year younger than Gu Sinian, and Li Yaxian's body was severely damaged after giving birth to Sinian, so she needs to recuperate before she can get pregnant again.
Si Shi was born many years later, so the affair is unlikely...
After overturning this conjecture, Gu Yuanhong was practically bald from exhaustion.
He knew the purpose of the anonymous letter, and ignoring it would have been the right choice. But somehow, he took it to heart and uncontrollably sent someone to investigate.
Ten days later, all the evidence was laid out on the table, and Gu Yuanhong felt like he was going crazy.
It turned out that, just as the letter said, Qiao Xiyan was his and Li Yaxian's second daughter.
Gu Sinian is not their biological son... The reason he looks similar is simply because he is a child from a collateral branch of the Gu family.
They are all children with Gu family blood, so it's normal for them to look alike.
The reason Si Nian dared to marry Qiao Xiyan was because the children from the collateral branch were several generations removed and their blood ties were not so close. He wanted to bring Qiao Xiyan back to the Gu family legitimately.
She's really got a good plan. No wonder she was so eager to bring the two children together, and her expression completely changed when Si Nian married Su Ying.
That's hilarious.
That's hilarious.
He never said he had to have a son, so why would he want to switch his daughter with someone else?
Is it really necessary to do this just because of the gossip of those women in the family compound?
I never imagined that the woman I've pampered for most of my life would treat him this way, so kindly.
But there was one thing he couldn't understand: they had swapped children with a branch of the Gu family, so why was Qiao Xiyan now the daughter of the Qiao family?
He needs to find out the details.
But he remembered that Qiao's wife got pregnant a year later than them. Could it be another case of switching children?
But Qiao Xiyan and the Qiao family's daughter are a year apart. How can they be switched? They can't be switched. After all, anyone who isn't blind can tell that the children are a year apart.
After wiping his face, Gu Yuanhong felt dizzy and unsure of what to do next.
After all, the best child wasn't his biological child. Although he still had the Gu family blood in his veins, several generations had passed, and the relationship had become quite distant.
His father and the Gu family's collateral branch had become so estranged that they didn't even recognize each other. It's truly ridiculous that Li Yaxian would come up with the idea of taking a child from the Gu family's collateral branch.
Now I just want to know the truth: how did Qiao Xiyan end up in the Qiao family?
Thinking of this, Gu Yuanhong could no longer sit still. He picked up the bicycle keys on the table and hurriedly walked out, ignoring even when his parents called him.
"What's wrong with this brat? We can't get him to listen to us, he just ignores us completely."
Yan Yan looked helpless. "Maybe the child is upset. Let him have some peace and quiet."
Grandpa Gu glared angrily at Gu Yuanhong's departing figure, his beard practically standing on end in anger.
"He's upset, but do you think I'm at ease? I finally got Yingying to persuade Si Nian to come back, and now it's turned out like this. Si Nian probably won't come back in the future."
Yan Yan didn't think it was a big deal. "If they don't come back, they don't come back. We're used to it anyway. In a few days, we'll go to the garrison to play with our great-grandchildren. It's better to enjoy the company of our grandchildren than to be lonely at home."
"I am hungry. Anyway, it's not far, just a few hours away. Although the dirt road is a bit bumpy, I'm happy just thinking about seeing my great-grandchildren."
"Me too. How about we go tomorrow? Let's go to the department store today and buy some treats for our great-grandson?"
“No problem. Our retirement pensions should be due soon, so we’ll buy more.”
"Okay, okay."
The two went to the supply and marketing cooperative with smiles on their faces.
When the two elderly people returned with their bags and packages, they sensed that something was off.
"What's wrong? Did you two fight again? What was it about this time?"
Grandpa Gu was also helpless. Although he didn't like this daughter-in-law before, his son liked her, and the couple had always had a good relationship, so he didn't say anything more.
Everything changed after the couple's conflict erupted. They argued every day, giving him a headache.
