Old Master Xiao stood up, his body trembling. He was going to the Gu family to find his grandson. Although Xiao Dingyu's newspaper advertisement didn't mention the Gu family at all, it did mention the case of his daughter being beaten. Everyone in the compound knew that Wei Zilin, the grandson of the Wei family, had hired someone to beat up Gu's eldest daughter-in-law.
At this time, the Xiao family members who should be at work are at work, and those who should be at school are at school. There is only one housekeeper secretly hired to take care of the family, and the other person is Old Master Xiao.
The housekeeper was busy in the kitchen when suddenly she heard something fall over in the living room. Startled, she rushed out to see what was happening and found Grandpa Xiao lying on the floor.
The aunt was shocked and rushed to help him up, "General Xiao, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Grandpa Xiao lay on the ground, trying hard to get up, but he was too emotional to stand up. When he saw the aunt coming to help him, he said excitedly, "Quick, help me up, I'm not hurt anywhere."
The auntie helped Grandpa Xiao up, and Grandpa Xiao, ignoring the pain in his knees, continued walking towards the door. But he had just reached the door when he encountered Xiao Bolin, who was rushing back.
Upon seeing Xiao Bolin, Old Master Xiao became even more excited. "Bolin, you're back just in time! Take me to the Gu family quickly. I saw your sister's son in the newspaper. He's the father-in-law of Gu Junru's eldest son."
When Old Master Xiao saw that Xiao Dingyu had changed his name and was no longer called Wei Ziming, he was so excited that he forgot Xiao Dingyu's original name and could only say that he was Xiao Baiyu's son.
Xiao Bolin sighed softly and walked to Old Master Xiao's side. "Father, let me help you back inside to sit down. Dingyu is not here to take care of the family; he has already left Beijing and returned home."
Old Master Xiao was helped back to the sofa by Xiao Bolin. He stared at Xiao Bolin. "Bolin, tell me honestly, did you already know that Gu Junru's in-laws were that child?"
Xiao Bolin nodded silently. Seeing that he had admitted it, Old Master Xiao angrily scolded him, "You found him, why didn't you tell me? You knew I'd been looking for him all this time, were you trying to drive me crazy?!"
Xiao Bolin remained silent, letting Old Master Xiao scold him until even Old Master Xiao himself didn't know what he was saying anymore. Old Master Xiao looked at Xiao Bolin and said, "Buy me a train ticket. I need to go find that child."
Xiao Bolin, who had been silent, could no longer remain so. "Father, you don't need to go to Dingyu. He doesn't want to see you or have you disturb his family."
Old Master Xiao stared wide-eyed at Xiao Bolin, trying to find even the slightest trace of a joke on his face. But Xiao Bolin looked back at Old Master Xiao seriously, instantly shattering his hopes.
The father and son stared at each other silently in the living room. After a long while, Old Master Xiao finally spoke. "How did you find that child? When did you find him?"
Xiao Bolin only told Xiao Dingyu how he found him after confirming that the old man's emotions had stabilized. "Uncle Huang's apprentice Xingran saved you. Wasn't Lu Xuan with you that day? Lu Xuan ran into Xiao Xue with Xingran on his way to school."
"Lu Xuan discovered that Xiao Xue looked a lot like him. That night, he called home and asked me if I had forgotten any daughters outside. He was referring to Xiao Xue, who looked a lot like him, and was Ding Yu's eldest daughter."
“I was a little suspicious when I heard Lu Xuan say that, so I took the opportunity to go to the school gate to see what Xiao Xue looked like. When Xing Ran and that child came out, I recognized her based on what Lu Xuan said about her appearance. She does look like Lu Xuan, but she looks more like her grandmother than her maternal grandmother.”
