Upon hearing that her great-grandmother hadn't eaten all day, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, immediately let go of Madam Wei's hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Young Master, what would you like to eat?"
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, took a tray, carefully placed the food on the plate, and then steadily picked it up.
Let's go.
Seeing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Wei couldn't help but smile.
"This child is still closest to his great-grandmother."
The Wei family residence is a typical old building in the capital. The huge residence is well preserved. The old lady lives in the main house in the second courtyard. She is taken care of by two servants. The old lady is 99 years old, but her mental state is still very good.
"Grandma, Xiaoyan is back."
The old lady sat on the bed, her already drooping eyelids suddenly lifted, and her cloudy eyes looked towards the door.
"Xiaoyan?"
"Great-Grandma!" Xiao Yan placed the food on the table beside her and obediently walked up to the old lady.
The old lady choked up immediately, excitedly grabbing Xiaoyan's hand: "You...you child, how old are you to dare to run out on your own? What if you encounter bad people?"
Old Wei, who came in later, had a flash in his eyes. It seemed that it was best not to tell them about Xiao Yan's kidnapping today.
Xiao Yan didn't say anything, just stood quietly in front of the old lady, letting her scold her.
"Mom, Xiaoyan has brought you your food. Please eat it while it's hot."
Madam Wei immediately stepped forward: "Let me help you to dinner."
The old lady shook her head: "I'm not hungry. Where did you find Xiaoyan? Tell me quickly."
Seeing that the old lady was pressing him about this matter, Old Wei walked over to the chair next to the old lady's bed and sat down.
"He was found by a group of young people at a fried chicken shop. Seeing that there were no adults with him, they called the police."
"Luckily, you met good people. What if you had met bad people? Just thinking about it makes me shudder. You're such a child!" The old lady sighed.
"If you were to die, I would lose my life too, and I would be too ashamed to face my elders."
Old Wei suddenly remembered something, and his brow furrowed tightly.
"Mom, where did you put those old photos that our ancestors left us?"
The old lady paused slightly, then looked intently at Old Master Wei.
Why did you suddenly think of these old photos?
"I just suddenly missed my grandparents, so I wanted to look at old photos to reminisce," Grandpa Wei said, making up a story.
The old lady chuckled, her face showing little emotion.
"Your excuses are still so lame. The photos are in my dowry chest. Go get them yourself."
"Good!" Old Wei wiped away a bead of sweat.
No matter how old he is, in his mother's eyes he is still a child.
Old Wei got up, walked to a row of mahogany display cabinets, turned a celadon vase on top, and the cabinets slowly moved to the sides, revealing a white hidden door painted to resemble the wall. Old Wei walked straight in.
The room inside was about ten square meters in size and was neatly filled with various precious items, most of which were the dowry that the old lady brought when she married into the Wei family.
Although the old lady was a child bride of the Wei family, her family was very well-off. However, because her mother died early, her father remarried and her stepmother made things difficult for her at home. The head of the Wei family and the old lady's mother were cousins. When they learned that the child was suffering at home, they went to make a scene. The two families had already arranged a marriage between the children, so they simply brought the old lady to the Wei family when she was eight years old.
The old lady's father loved his daughter quite a bit, but he was too busy with his business to take care of her. When he learned that his daughter had suffered a lot with her stepmother, he gave her a lot of things as a dowry to make up for it when she left home.
Old Wei opened the boxes one by one, searched for a while, and finally found a vintage photo album that looked quite old.
Flipping through the photo album, the first half is full of pictures of the old lady posing in her youth.
It must be said that the old lady was indeed a beauty in her youth. No wonder the old man doted on her so much when he was alive. He never quarreled with her and always showed her love and consideration.
As you flip through the pages, you come across some gray-white photos of your ancestors. Among them are a few old photos of Mr. Wei's grandmother with her friends. The photos show several socialites from the Republican era. Mr. Wei held the photos up to the light and examined them carefully for a while with his reading glasses.
Upon seeing one of them, his wise eyes were filled with shock: "They look so alike! How can there be such similar people in this world?"
He remembered that when he was fifteen or sixteen and just beginning to experience romantic feelings, he had accidentally flipped through his grandmother's photo album and seen some of her childhood playmates. He was particularly struck by the beauty of one of the girls.
It was an absolutely stunning face, with delicate features and a cool, aloof demeanor. Even through the black and white photo, you could still feel how dazzling she was among a group of girls, like a ray of light that made her instantly noticeable.
Even after decades, he still remembered that face. When he saw the girl named Bai Qianmo today, he was extremely shocked. Her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to the person in the photo. Now, after comparing the photos, they were like two peas in a pod.
Could the girl in the photo be Bai Qianmo's ancestor? If there is a blood relationship, atavism can also occur.
Even if someone looks like their ancestors, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?
It's probably difficult even for twins to achieve the same level of resemblance.
Old Wei took the photo album back into the house, where the old lady was having a meal with Xiao Yan.
After glancing at Old Wei, the old lady's gaze fell on the photo album he was holding, and she casually asked, "Why did you take it out?"
