Lin Jin then realized what was going on and nodded in understanding.
Then, Grandma Gong pointed to the alley entrance and said, "Look, the car is over there, I can see it!"
Lin Jin looked in the direction Grandma Gong was pointing and sure enough, there was a car parked at the entrance of the alley. Because it was too dark, he couldn't see clearly what kind of car it was, but there was definitely a person standing next to the car.
Lin Jin watched as Old Madam Gong slowly walked towards the car, and only after she got in did she turn around and return home.
When Grandma Gong returned to the Gong family home, it was already past 8 p.m., and Grandpa Gong was still awake in his study! Grandma Gong tiptoed into the study, and Grandpa Gong looked up at the sound of her voice, put down his book, and asked, "Back so late, did you see that girl?" Grandma Gong smiled and sat down opposite him, saying, "Yes, I did. The more I look at her, the more I like her. It's a pity she has a boyfriend, but I've decided to adopt her as my granddaughter." Grandpa Gong raised an eyebrow, "Oh? She has a boyfriend? That's a bit of a problem." Grandma Gong waved her hand, "What's the problem? Even if she can't be our granddaughter-in-law, being our granddaughter is fine too. I've already invited her to dinner this Saturday." Grandpa Gong thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, this girl has excellent medical skills; it's fate that she can be our granddaughter."
Then he sighed and said, "I wonder if this kid will be heartbroken to hear that the girl he likes has a girlfriend! This is the first time he's ever liked a girl, and it's over just like that. He's not like me back in the day!" When Grandpa Gong talked about what happened back then, Grandma Gong also fell into memories.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she continued, "I just realized today that the girl's smile is just like Yu Fen's when she was young! Both are so captivating!" After saying this, Old Madam Gong's mood visibly sombered.
Grandpa Gong said thoughtfully, "Oh! I see. No wonder you said last time that the girl looked familiar!" His gaze fell on Grandma Gong, as if waiting for her response.
Grandma Gong nodded, agreeing with Grandpa Gong's statement, and then continued, "Yes, we only chatted briefly last time and didn't get a good look at what the girl looked like."
Old Master Gong frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He pressed further, "Do you think they might be relatives?"
Grandma Gong quickly shook her head, denying it without hesitation: "Absolutely impossible! That girl is from Suzhou, while Yu Fen is from Beijing. The two places are far apart, how could they possibly be related?"
After listening to Grandma Gong's explanation, Grandpa Gong felt it made sense and nodded, saying, "Yes, you're right." He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his doubts were not completely dispelled.
The two chatted casually for a while, then the conversation gradually shifted to other topics. After a while, Mrs. Gong felt a little tired and suggested that they each go back to their rooms to rest. Mr. Gong agreed, so the two got up and slowly walked towards their respective rooms.
