“My great-grandfather is not the kind of man who would date a young girl.” Gao Lianzhou glared angrily at Lin Wan, then looked at Xing Zhaozhao, “Even a fairy sister wouldn’t fall for an old geezer, right? Besides, aren’t you already married and have three children?”
This brat, how can he call his own great-grandfather such an old geezer?
The adults in the Gao family twitched at the corners of their mouths, and couldn't help but mutter complaints to themselves.
However, she was already married and had three children?
The adults in the Gao family immediately looked at Xing Zhaozhao. How old is she?
Xing Zhaozhao smiled, looked at Gao Lianzhou, and said, "He is a fierce warrior, how can he be compared to just some old geezer? Your great-grandfather also knows that I have children, and he even bought them food, clothes and toys."
Gao Lianzhou felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she was completely dumbfounded. She kept muttering to herself, "This is impossible, I don't believe it, this is definitely not true."
Xing Zhaozhao patted the poor child's head: "Whether you want to believe it or not, the fact is the fact."
"Is it true?" Gao Han pushed up his glasses and looked coldly at Xing Zhaozhao. "It's too early to say it's true now. You can't prove it with just words. You should at least produce some evidence."
Oh my, is this my grandson? He's so handsome, tall and good-looking.
Xing Zhaozhao didn't care about Gao Han's cold words at all. She looked at him with a smile, her eyes shining with a kind light: "You'll know when Mingcheng wakes up."
Gao Han felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze. Just a little girl, does she really think she's his grandmother? Ridiculous.
"You keep calling me Mingcheng, who do you think you are? How dare you call me Mingcheng?" Gao Yue crossed her arms, joining forces with her brother.
Xing Zhaozhao remained smiling, not angry at all. They were all her adorable grandchildren, so she wasn't angry.
“But that’s what I’ve always called him, and he’s never objected,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
Gao Yue scoffed dismissively: "You talk like it's the truth, but without any evidence, nobody would believe you."
“Who said there’s no evidence?” Lin Wan suddenly said.
The Gao family members all looked at Lin Wan, their hearts inexplicably tightening.
Xing Zhaozhao also looked over in surprise. There was even evidence? How come she didn't know?
Lin Wan took out her phone, found a video, and played it for the Gao family.
Xing Zhaozhao curiously went over and discovered that it was a video of her first meeting with Gao Mingcheng at the breakfast shop.
She remembered that at that time, it seemed to be Gao Mingzhi's granddaughter who took the picture directly in her face. Gao Mingcheng didn't want her to be exposed, so he pressed her head into his arms. Although she didn't show her face in the whole video, Gao Mingcheng's attitude of protecting her was very obvious. Moreover, the Gao family members are not lacking in eyesight. Even if her face wasn't shown, they should be able to tell whether that woman was hers or not.
After watching the video, the Gao family members were all silent. They simply couldn't believe it was true. Gao Mingcheng, who had been single for so many years, had actually found love again, and with a young woman no less. This was the first time in all these years that they had seen him protect a woman like this.
The Gao family members looked at Xing Zhaozhao with complicated expressions, especially Gao Hongfei.
Does the old man know about Xing Zhaozhao's relationship with that old lady? Back then, the old man scolded him for being stupid, jumping straight into someone else's trap. Now that he's in that situation, isn't he the same?
However, Gao Hongfei also understood; that was their mother, their most beloved mother.
Just then, the ward door clicked open, and the doctor and nurses filed out, led by an elderly woman with a full head of white hair.
Upon seeing this, the Gao family immediately rushed forward, wanting to ask the doctor about the old man's condition. Before they could even speak, they felt someone suddenly squeeze in from the side with such force that they were quickly pushed aside and knocked aside.
Their first thought was, could it be Xiao Fanxing? After all, Fanxing was the strongest in the family.
Upon closer inspection, Xia Fanxing, like them, had been squeezed to the side and was completely bewildered.
"Doctor, how is Mingcheng doing?" a clear, cheerful voice asked from the front.
The Gao family looked over in surprise and saw Xing Zhaozhao standing in front of the doctor, anxiously asking questions.
So, it was her just now? She actually has that much strength.
The Gao family members looked at Xing Zhaozhao with complicated expressions.
"Your Mingcheng?" Wen Sinan frowned as she looked at the girl in front of her.
Even though it should be the first time we've met, I feel like we've seen each other before.
"Who are you? What's your relationship with Gao Mingcheng? I don't think I've ever seen you before," Wen Sinan asked.
“My name is Xing Zhaozhao, and I am his wife,” Xing Zhaozhao said.
The Gao family was completely dumbfounded, and the doctors and nurses were also shocked.
Wen Sinan frowned even more deeply.
She knew the name Xing Zhaozhao; she was Gao Mingcheng's deceased lover, but she was definitely not the young girl in front of her who looked quite young.
"Rongrong, what's going on?" Wen Sinan looked at Ying Rongrong beside her.
"Mom..." Ying Rongrong called out, looking at Xing Zhaozhao with a troubled expression, unsure of how to explain.
"Mom?" Xing Zhaozhao looked at Ying Rongrong, then at Wen Sinan, and smiled, "So you're in-laws."
"..."
The phrase "in-laws" left everyone around speechless.
"Rongrong," Wen Sinan called again, her voice tinged with impatience.
"She..." Ying Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then whispered in Wen Sinan's ear, "It seems to be someone my father-in-law recently found."
Wen Sinan's face changed drastically, and she blurted out, "This is impossible..."
She knew how important Gao Mingcheng's deceased lover was to him. Over the years, many people had introduced her to potential partners, but he had always turned a blind eye. So why was he now dating a young girl? Was it because she was young?
Wen Sinan touched her graying temples, looked at Xing Zhaozhao, and suddenly realized why Xing Zhaozhao looked familiar. She had once found a hand-drawn portrait of his deceased wife on Gao Mingcheng's person, which looked very much like the girl in front of her.
She suddenly felt relieved.
He was just a stand-in, and a pitiful person nonetheless.
As Wen Sinan thought this, a hint of pity and sympathy appeared in her eyes when she looked at Xing Zhaozhao.
Xing Zhaozhao: "??"
