Ding Ba rushed over. He was very familiar with the alleyways of Pingjiang and found it in no time. Lu Mo met him at the entrance of the alley and gave him a heads-up beforehand, "Your mother's condition is not good. She attempted suicide by taking sleeping pills today. Fortunately, Qingqing is here and she is out of danger, but she is still unconscious."
Panting heavily, Ding Ba was startled, but upon hearing that Gong Zhu was out of danger, his heart eased. However—
“Your mother’s health is severely deteriorated. Qingqing examined her, and she’s not much better off than the old man.”
Ding Ba's heart jumped again, and he asked anxiously, "Can it be cured? I'll pay any price."
"Qingqing will definitely do her best. Who are you trying to embarrass by talking about money!"
Lu Mo rolled his eyes in annoyance, while Ding Ba smiled sheepishly, feeling incredibly fortunate that Lu Mo had found such a skilled doctor as his wife!
"Is my grandma alright?"
"She's quite healthy. She's been taking care of your mother all these years, but the old lady doesn't want to see the old man. She probably still harbors resentment."
Ding Ba sighed, his expression sorrowful. He hoped that his maternal grandparents could be reunited, but he also felt sorry for his maternal grandmother and mother. Gong Yi abandoned his maternal grandmother for his brother, and the Gong family was ungrateful and abandoned his mother. In the end, the Gong family owed too much, so it was understandable that his maternal grandmother did not want to see the old man.
"Where is my father? Where is he?" Ding Ba asked anxiously and excitedly.
Finally, I can find out who my ancestors were!
So exciting!
Lu Mo gave him a strange look, barely suppressing a laugh. By this time, they were almost at the entrance of Huizi Courtyard. The rain had lessened considerably, turning into a light drizzle, so they didn't need umbrellas.
"Hurry up and tell me, you're beating around the bush like a woman. What's my father's last name? Where is he from?" Ding Ba urged impatiently.
Lu Mo straightened his face and said solemnly, "Your father is Chinese."
Ding Ba was stunned. Holy crap, he's actually mixed race?
Fortunately, mixed-race people from our country all look similar, Ding Ba comforted himself, and then asked, "What's my dad's name? Why doesn't he take care of my mom?"
“Your father’s name is Inukai Yoshi. Inu means dog, in yang means dog, and in yi means loyalty. He doesn’t know your mother is still alive, but I’ve already asked Weishao to contact her. Your family will be reunited soon.”
As Lu Mo spoke, he paid close attention to Ding Ba's changing expressions. The smile on Ding Ba's face gradually froze, turning into astonishment, and finally leaving him dumbfounded.
"My son's dog is just a dog, isn't it? 'Dog-raised dog' means he's a dog's mother's son," Ding Ba thought to himself, his face full of dissatisfaction, muttering complaints, "Why did my mother find me such a father? Even 'Village Entrance Well Field' sounds better than 'dog-raised'... Hmm... Why does this name sound so familiar?"
Ding Ba slapped his thigh hard and pointed at Lu Mo in surprise, "That night..."
Lu Mo smiled and nodded, "Yes, he's the owner of the largest private chain hospital in the country. You were born into a good family; your parents are no ordinary people."
Ding Ba pouted and said sullenly, "It would be even more perfect if he didn't have the surname Inukai. I'd rather have a poor dad with the surname Zhang San or Li Si!"
Anyway, he can make money, so it doesn't matter whether his father has money or not. What he's struggling with now is that if he acknowledges his biological father, he'll have to change his surname. What should he be called?
Inukai Hachi?
He's not even as good as Hachiko!
Ding Ba was quite depressed, but he was always an optimist, so he quickly cheered up again. At worst, he wouldn't change his surname; he would just be called Ding Ba. What surname he chose was up to him, humph!
Huizi sat restlessly in the room, glancing at the door every now and then. When she saw that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, her eyes reddened and her lips trembled.
