I didn't know, but looking at it again, it really does look alike, almost identical! In fact, it's not just the eyes that are similar; other parts of the face are also somewhat similar!
Old Xu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Mom, do you know who the person in that photo Grandpa hid is?" Everyone in the Xu family knows there is such a person, but many of the older generation don't even know that taboo name!
The old lady's eyes clearly flashed with understanding, and her expression became somewhat solemn: "She was your grandfather's adopted daughter, but many years ago, she went missing. Your grandfather searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her, so gradually, she became someone the Xu family couldn't talk about! But... twenty-eight years ago, she suddenly reappeared, but the way she appeared caught everyone off guard!"
Twenty-eight years ago, Lao Xu wasn't even born yet, so naturally he didn't know about these situations: "Now that they've appeared, isn't everyone happy?"
Why is that person still a taboo subject in the Xu family even now?
Could it be that something else happened?
"Yes, it should have been a happy occasion, but the news we received was the death of your aunt whom you had never met!"
News of death!!!
Old Xu's hand holding the photo trembled several times, and his voice shook slightly: "Then, what is the relationship between the regimental commander and that aunt?"
The old lady rubbed her slightly sore eyes, sat on the edge of the bed, pondered for a while, and then slowly said:
"Do you remember that older brother you always thought about who stayed at our house for a few days? If I'm not mistaken, your commander is that kid! He's also your aunt's child!"
Old Xu's mind was in turmoil; only one thought remained in his mind: his aunt's child, his aunt's child...
Old Xu remembers that older brother very clearly. He liked to follow him around and play, but that older brother never played with him and didn't like to play with others. He seemed very aloof, but it was that cold and aloof demeanor that aroused Old Xu's rebellious spirit!
What? You don't like hanging out with me? I'm going to stick with you! If you're not happy, beat me up!
The impression was so deep that I still remember it clearly to this day!
"Isn't that older brother the young master of the Gu family in Beijing? But our regimental commander's surname is Gao, and he's from the countryside. This... Mom, do you know what's going on?"
Once the valve is opened, questions just keep coming one after another!
I was only three or four years old at the time, how could I know what big thing had happened!
At this point, the old lady's solemn expression turned sharp: "Heh~, I'd like to know about this too, you brat, come on, call your dad!"
No, this matter must be told to my family so we can come up with a solution!
His attitude was resolute, and his eyes clearly revealed hatred!
"No need, my dad is already here, he'll arrive tomorrow afternoon!" I was planning to tell the old lady about this as soon as I got back!
Sure enough, the old lady looked surprised: "Your father... is here?"
Old Xu nodded: "It would be strange if he felt comfortable letting you go out alone. You took the train this morning, and you came alone!"
"What? Alone? He didn't have a guard with him?" The old woman's scream could be heard outside the house!
"When I called home, it was the bodyguard who answered!"
The old lady stood up anxiously and paced around the room, muttering, "That old man, how could he be so disobedient? He actually dared to go out alone. What if something happens to him?"
