Liang Yun also said with emotion, "Yes, Junru took me and your mother out to eat back then. That day at the department store, Zhao Lihua was so surprised when she saw Xiaoxue. She even asked Xiaoxue what her father's surname was and whether Xiaoxue took her mother's surname."
“I found it strange at the time. When I looked at Xiaoxue’s face, I remembered that Xiaoxue looked at least four or five points like Sister Baiyu. Then I remembered that your face also looked like Sister Baiyu. At that time, I suspected that you were Sister Baiyu’s son who had been missing for more than 20 years.”
"I never expected that you really are Sister Bai Yu's son. Maybe this is fate! The wife that Mo Ting found from thousands of miles away is the descendant of my father and me."
“From now on, I will call you Dingyu, just like Junru. If you want to thank someone, thank Xingran! She arrived in time to save Xiaoxue. Without her, Xiaoxue wouldn’t be alive and well.”
Xiao Dingyu's expression relaxed considerably, perhaps because the two people in front of him were his mother's old friends. He had learned from Uncle Zhilun that Xiaoxue had been rescued by Huang Junyi's female apprentice.
Originally, Wei Zilin intended to take revenge on both of them, but that night only Xiaoxue was on her way home when she was ambushed. Later, Huang Junyi's female apprentice arrived and rescued Xiaoxue, who was unharmed except for minor injuries.
Xiao Dingyu nodded and said, "I know. I learned from Uncle Zhilun that it was Xingran who saved Xiaoxue. I took a week off. Tomorrow is Saturday. If they have the day off tonight, I'll treat Xingran and the others to a meal tomorrow. I have to take the train back the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Dingyu considered the grand gift he had prepared for the Wei family, knowing that doing so would expose him. But it didn't matter; after hiding for over twenty years, he would be discovered sooner or later. His uncle had already found him, and the rest of the Xiao family wouldn't know for long either.
Xiao Dingyu felt he should at least inform the Gu family, "I've been hiding for over twenty years, so I can't keep it from the Xiao family anymore. Actually, my uncle has already found me, but he doesn't want to see General Xiao."
"If General Xiao troubles you in the future, don't pay him any attention. I will not forgive him. It's sad to say that my mother's fate is partly related to him. He knew that my mother liked Uncle Zhilun, but Wei Xiongjie used tricks to say that Uncle Zhilun died on the battlefield, and General Xiao forced my mother to marry Wei Xiongjie."
"General Xiao's second wife brought him a daughter, and he insisted that my mother recognize her as her sister. Then this so-called sister hooked up with her brother-in-law. I went to report that adulterous couple, but General Xiao protected them to protect his reputation."
“Wei Xiongjie smeared my mother and Uncle Zhilun, saying they had an affair after marriage. At that time, the army was investigating Uncle Zhilun, and my mother provided evidence to prove that she had not done such a thing. Later, Wei Xiongjie still wouldn’t let it go, and General Xiao also thought it was true. He interrogated my mother about whether she had done it.”
"My mother, in order to protect Uncle Zhilun's reputation and prevent him from being investigated by the military, as well as being suspected by her own father and slandered by her husband, was heartbroken and ultimately committed suicide. When I returned home, I saw blood all over the floor and my mother, who was no longer alive."
“My mother left me a suicide note. She told me to live well. She said she was sorry to me, but she really didn’t have the courage to go on living because she was too tired. She was separated from her lover when she was young, and her husband cheated on her in middle age. She was innocent but was smeared. Her own father didn’t help her seek justice and even protected that despicable couple. In the end, her own father even suspected her of cheating on him and being unfaithful.”
Gu Junru and Liang Yun both fell silent. They truly didn't know the inside story. They never imagined that Xiao Baiyu was driven to his death by his own family. No one could forgive General Xiao's actions, especially Xiao Baiyu's own son, who had witnessed his mother's death.
