The old lady didn't expect that the father and daughter had already met each other.
It’s a pity that we didn’t recognize each other when we met.
Xiao Qingran patted the old lady's back and comforted her: "Grandma, don't get excited. Now that we know he is my father, Luo Jiuyan and I will go to Sang Country again and bring him back."
Xiao Qingran spoke calmly, but the old lady just kept shaking her head.
"No, no! He was sent there to carry out a mission. He can't come back until the mission is completed."
When the old lady thought about when she would see her son again, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Grandma, I know what Dad's mission is. Luo Jiuyan and I can go over and help him complete it. Don't worry, we will be reunited as a family soon."
The old lady was delighted when she heard this: "Really? Are you in danger? Your father has been there for twenty years!"
"Qingxue, don't worry. With their skills, even destroying that tiny country won't be a problem."
The old lady smiled and slapped Xiao Rongchen in the face: "Is there anyone like you? You praise your granddaughter and grandson-in-law to the sky."
Xiao Rongjue smiled dotingly: "Those who are capable should do more work. Yi'er, let his own daughter and son-in-law go and save them themselves!"
Xiao Qingran nodded seriously: "Wait a few days, after we prepare the things for the trip to Sang Country, we will go and pick up Dad."
Xiao Qingran recalled how Xiao Yi had helped her and Luo Jiuyan in Sang Country, and how she had felt strange when she saw Xiao Yi. Now she finally understood why.
However, Xiao Qingran still had one thing she didn't understand, so she asked the old lady directly, "Grandma, what happened to the baby swap between Xiao Yuruo and me?"
The old lady didn't expect Xiao Qingran to bring up this matter. After thinking for a while, she sighed deeply: "It was all bad fate! It was only the first day of your birth when that woman took advantage of the fact that no one was in the ward and ran away. When I made her some soup and brought it over, I found a baby girl on the bed, but I knew it wasn't you. I searched the hospital for a long time and asked many people, but no one had seen that woman. No one knew how you were swapped with the one from the Xiao family. Your father was transferred at the time, and there couldn't be any problems at home. I had no choice but to take the child back to raise him. I thought that as long as I didn't mistreat the child, my own child would surely be raised well in another family. Who knew that after raising her for eighteen years, I would have developed feelings for her. I even forgot that she wasn't my granddaughter and gave her all the good things I had. Later, she hooked up with Wei Zishu and found her biological parents on her own. She never came back to see me, an old woman. Later, if I hadn't returned to the Lu family, I probably would never have had another encounter with her in my life."
"Then it was never discovered who switched the children?"
Xiao Qingran's first feeling about this matter was that it was not simple.
"When Xiao Yuruo returned to the Xiao family, the head of the Xiao family asked someone to investigate, but they found nothing. Given the power of the Xiao family, if they couldn't find anything, then they really couldn't find anything. After I returned to the Lu family, I didn't even think of asking the Lu family to help investigate. Grandma just felt that since you've already been exchanged, it doesn't matter whether they investigate or not."
The old lady was quite easygoing. But Xiao Qingran always felt that there must be some conspiracy behind the fact that she and Xiao Yuruo were switched.
But, just like the old lady said, so many years have passed and even the Xiao family couldn't find out what was going on. If there really was a conspiracy, the mastermind behind it would definitely not leave any clues.
If his conspiracy wasn't just about swapping the two people, and now they were swapped back, then if the person behind the scenes made another move, she would follow the clues to find that person.
"What's going on with Ranran's mother?"
Xiao Rongchen couldn't help but ask.
He was thinking about family reunion.
But the son came back without a wife, and the granddaughter came back without a mother. How can this be called a reunion?
The old lady and Xiao Qingran looked at Xiao Rongchen with indescribable expressions, without saying a word.
When it comes to Xiao Qingran's biological mother, the old lady has always used that woman as a substitute and was unwilling to even mention it.
Xiao Qingran also kept his mouth shut.
This made Xiao Rongchen very curious. What exactly happened back then?
"Let's not talk about that woman. Rong Chen, you should know that there are many men in this world who don't have wives. Our son and granddaughter don't need a wife, and they don't need a mother."
Seeing the old lady's face turn pale when she mentioned that woman, Xiao Rongchen had an idea in his mind.
It must be that Xiao Qingran's biological mother had done something wrong to Xiao Yi in the past, which is why she is disliked by these two generations of grandparents.
In that case, he didn't mention it anymore. Just as he was about to find another topic, the old lady's cell phone suddenly rang.
The old lady was actually very low-key. Usually, the people who called at this time were either members of the Lu family or nearby neighbors. There was almost no one she didn't know on her phone.
Xiao Rongchen took out the old lady's phone and saw that it only had a string of numbers on it. He was stunned for a moment before putting it in the old lady's hand: "This shouldn't be an advertisement! There's no name on it."
The old lady took it doubtfully. When she saw the phone number on it, her eyes flashed. She directly clicked the answer button and pressed the speakerphone button.
As soon as the call was connected, a voice that made Xiao Qingran anxious and familiar came from the other end of the phone: "Grandma, it's Ruoruo. Can you ask the Lu family to help me?"
The old lady remained silent.
She roughly guessed Xiao Yuruo's current situation.
But, isn’t there still the head of the Xiao family?
The head of the Xiao family cares so much about Xiao Yuruo, why did this call come to her?
"Grandma, please. Considering that I have been with you for eighteen years, if you can get someone from the Lu family to say a good word for me, I can leave this damn place."
Xiao Yuruo was anxious. She called every number she could. No one was willing to answer her calls. She even called Xiao Mai countless times, but no one answered.
But Wei Zishu’s phone call couldn’t be reached at all.
Xiao Yuruo had no choice but to call the old lady.
She didn't expect the old lady to answer.
Such a result gave Xiao Yuruo great hope.
"Hey, why is my hearing problem coming back? Who is this? What is he saying? Why can't I hear a word? Ah? I'm getting old and useless! My phone is out of battery and I'm hanging up!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she quickly hung up the phone and turned it off.
Xiao Qingran and Xiao Rongchen couldn't help but laugh.
Even Luo Jiuyan raised the corners of his mouth.
"╮(╯▽╰)╭ Oh, this kid has gotten to this point now. If she had spoken nicely, maybe I would have considered helping her. But she started threatening me with family ties. What do you mean by "for the sake of being with me for eighteen years"? She's truly hopeless."
The old lady shook her head and sighed helplessly.
"I guess even Patriarch Xiao has given up on her. Not to mention the Wei family. Patriarch Wei must have known what happened after he left, and he won't let Wei Zishu protect her anymore."
Xiao Qingran was quite confident about the results of her first fortune-telling.
No matter who it is now, no one can save Xiao Yuruo.
