"Meihua, go check the door again. Why haven't they arrived yet? Tell Sister Jiang to make sure she cooks a lot of her signature dishes today." Luo Minsheng paced back and forth in the room, unable to sit still.
"Eat some fruit!" Luo Haisheng pointed to the oranges on the coffee table.
The accompanying nurse immediately peeled an orange for him and placed it in his hand.
Luo Haisheng smiled and popped a segment of orange into his mouth.
“Minsheng, you should eat fruit too.”
Luo Haisheng is in pretty good shape today. I remember Luo Minsheng is his younger brother.
"Brother, you eat, I'm not hungry." Luo Minsheng was preoccupied and restless.
Fearing rejection and facing his own mistakes, he hadn't bothered to learn about his older brother's past for many years.
If he had known earlier... he would have found them no matter the cost.
Liu Yihang drove Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua to the address provided by Qin Meihua. Yunyin had class today, so she didn't come along.
Upon arriving at the gate, the security guard questioned them briefly, and upon learning that they were guests invited by Luo Minsheng, immediately allowed them to pass.
They must have given prior notice.
After going inside, we arrived at our destination quickly, where Qin Meihua was already standing at the door to greet us.
Qin Meihua and Lin Guihua exchanged pleasantries as they walked inside.
Lin Guihua could clearly sense that Qin Meihua's attitude was much warmer today than last time, as if she were treating her own family.
She rarely comes out as a guest today, so she dressed up carefully, putting on some lipstick, wearing a newly bought mink coat, her hair up, and the jewelry that Liu Yihang prepared for her. She looked quite presentable.
She lacks a certain air about her. A certain air is something that needs to be cultivated with money. Lin Guihua has been used to a hard life for so many years, so she lacks a certain confidence.
However, Qin Meihua did not mean to look down on anyone at all.
"Guihua, you're still young, you should dress up like this more often. Look how pretty you are."
"Sister Meihua, please don't make fun of me. I'm just doing what they call 'imitating Xi Shi'! Yes, that's the term."
"No, you are actually very beautiful, but you lack a bit of confidence. You should hold your head high and accept yourself."
"Look, Yihang is just like you, so handsome! And you've raised such an outstanding son. You're no less capable than him, so don't belittle yourself," Qin Meihua encouraged.
"Sister Meihua, you really know how to talk."
In fact, Qin Meihua's age is not much different from Lin Guihua's, only about ten years older.
After all, Luo Haisheng was more than ten years older than Luo Minsheng.
The two women walked and talked, with Liu Xiangdong and Liu Yihang following behind, carrying large and small bags.
Luo Minsheng heard the sound of a car in the yard and quickly came out to greet it.
He had never met Liu Xiangdong and his wife before, only seen Liu Xiangdong's appearance in the newspaper. Now that he saw them in person, he felt that they looked exactly alike.
Suppressing my excitement, I greeted everyone.
Qin Meihua casually introduced the two parties, and after exchanging pleasantries, she went inside.
Upon entering the living room, Liu Yihang realized that there were still people there.
An elderly man with a large, snow-white head sat on the sofa eating an orange.
"This is my older brother, Luo Haisheng. He used to be a researcher. Today is a family dinner, so we brought him back as well," Luo Minsheng explained.
Liu Xiangdong and his two companions quickly greeted the old man, but received no response.
The old man didn't even look up at them, and continued peeling the oranges.
Qin Meihua smiled awkwardly: "Big brother doesn't want to talk right now, please have a seat."
The three of them understood instantly.
This old man probably has some kind of mental problem.
"I've always wanted to meet you both. Thank you for raising such an outstanding child." Luo Minsheng spoke gently, like an ordinary old man.
"You're too kind. It's his honor to have saved such a great scientist as you," Lin Guihua replied with a smile.
Luo Minsheng turned his gaze to Qin Meihua, signaling her to speak. He was truly inept at social skills and could only rely on Qin Meihua.
"Guihua, it's like this, besides wanting to express my sincere gratitude to your whole family, I also have something I'd like to ask you," Qin Meihua said carefully.
"What is it?" Lin Guihua asked suspiciously.
Liu Xiangdong and Liu Yihang also seemed interested.
"Lao Luo and I saw in the newspaper that Xiang Dong, you were adopted, right? Don't misunderstand, we're not trying to pry into your family affairs, there really is something we can't talk about."
After Qin Meihua finished speaking, she picked up an orange and handed it to Luo Haisheng: "Brother, have an orange."
Luo Haisheng looked up, took the orange, and said happily, "Thank you."
The man's憨憨 (simple and honest) smile stunned Liu Xiangdong, Lin Guihua, and Liu Yihang.
"I believe you have also noticed that Minsheng's elder brother and Xiangdong look almost 70 or 80 percent alike. Minsheng had this suspicion when he saw Xiangdong's photo in the newspaper."
Our investigation revealed that the older brother did indeed have a child, but due to his mental instability, we missed the best time to find him.
We just want to ask, Xiang Dong, did your adoptive family leave behind anything that could prove your identity?
Liu Xiangdong was completely stunned. He was already in his early forties, and suddenly someone told him that he might still have family. This feeling was incredibly bittersweet.
Lin Guihua and Liu Yihang were relatively sober.
“Son, didn’t you say you found something that proved your father’s identity?” Lin Guihua quickly looked at Liu Yihang.
"There are a few items: a piece of velvet with the character 'Dong' embroidered in gold thread, a pair of bracelets, and two pieces of jade."
Luo Minsheng's eyes visibly lit up: "Can I take a look?"
He remembered that his elder brother did take some things with him when he left, including a pair of bracelets, which his mother asked his brother to give to his future daughter-in-law.
He was still young at the time, and he asked his mother if his wife had any bracelets. His mother said that she did, and that they were two identical pairs of bracelets, and that she would not favor one over the other.
Liu Yihang actually keeps the items in his own miniature space, but it's not convenient to take them out directly now.
“Okay, I’ll go back and get it now. It’s not far anyway.” Liu Yihang said and got up to leave.
After Liu Yihang left, everyone in the room except for the simple-minded Luo Haisheng fell into an awkward atmosphere.
Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that they are a family. From guests to family members, Liu Xiangdong and Lin Guihua were at a loss for words.
Luo Minsheng looked at Liu Xiangdong with great anticipation, hoping that he really was his nephew.
Fortunately, Qin Meihua was a social butterfly and changed the subject with some pleasant topics, and the room was filled with laughter again.
Liu Yihang returned quickly with the wooden box he had brought earlier.
Upon seeing the pair of bracelets in the box, Luo Minsheng burst into tears of joy: "It's it, it's it!"
