Hong Xiqiu nodded and stopped talking.
Zhou Yi knew that there must be something complicated between them, but she didn't ask much. However, she had a bold guess in her mind.
Lian Guoying didn't say anything else, and Yun Gaofei beside him also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
Zhou Yi didn't want to delve into this issue right now, so he changed the subject and said, "Big Brother, we've been driving all day and are starving. Do you have anything to eat?"
Lian Guoying came back to his senses and looked at Zhou Yi, his expression softened a little: "Yes, why would I let you go hungry? Come into the house, wash your hands and eat."
After saying that, Lian Guoying took the lead and walked into the house. If it were normal, he would definitely let Zhou Yi and the others go in first. You can imagine how complicated his feelings were at this moment.
After dinner, Zhou Yi asked Yun Gaofei to take Hong Xiqiu to Meiyi’s employee dormitory in Yangcheng. He had already greeted Jiang Letian beforehand and had already prepared a dormitory for Hong Xiqiu.
After Yun Gaofei and Hong Xiqiu left the Xiguan mansion, Zhou Yi kept looking at Lian Guoying, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She was very curious about the relationship between Lian Guoying and the Hong family, but seeing him so conflicted, she really didn't know how to start.
So it happened that wherever Lian Guoying went, Zhou Yi's eyes followed him, but he never asked anything, just kept looking at him from time to time.
Finally, Lian Guoying couldn't help but look at Zhou Yi and asked, "Junior Sister, do you have anything to ask me?"
After Lian Guoying finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued reading. He could actually guess what Zhou Yi wanted to ask.
Zhou Yi noticed that Lian Guoying spoke first, so she walked up to him and looked at him curiously: "Hey, Senior Brother, will you tell me if I ask you?"
Lian Guoying simply closed the book, looked at her and nodded: "Ask."
"Then let me ask." Zhou Yi sat down next to him, "Big Brother, are you related to Hong Xiqiu?"
Lian Guoying's face darkened when he heard her question: "What do you mean I have a relationship with him?"
"No, what I mean is, what is your relationship with Hong Xiqiu?" Zhou Yi corrected, but still felt that this question was a bit strange.
Lian Guoying glanced at Zhou Yi, sighed, and said, "My surname is Hong, the Hong of the Shenning Hong family. According to seniority, I am Uncle Hong Xiqiu."
"What?" Zhou Yi opened her eyes wide. His last name was Hong, so she could understand. Was this a joke about Uncle Hong Xiqiu?
Zhou Yi's reaction was also within Lian Guoying's expectations. Anyone would find it incredible.
Lian Guoying is the illegitimate son of Hong Xiqiu's grandfather Hong Zhenda. He and his mother were abandoned by Hong Zhenda when they were very young. In order to support him, his mother eventually died of illness when Lian Guoying was five years old.
Fortunately, he met Su Mingzhe at that time, otherwise, Lian Guoying would probably have died next to his mother's body.
Not only did Su Mingzhe take him in and raise him, he also donated money and effort to ensure that Lian Guoying's mother could be buried in peace.
In Lian Guoying's heart, he could never repay the Su family's kindness in his lifetime, and whatever he did for the Su family was his duty.
It turns out that Su Mingzhe is a very honest businessman. Since Lian Guoying graduated from University, he has been personally leading him in business and teaching him personally.
Although Su Mingzhe said that he brought Lian Guoying out to free himself, Lian Guoying knew very well that Su Mingzhe was deliberately training him.
After listening to this, Zhou Yi finally understood why his father had been talking with Hong Xiqiu for so long. It must be about this matter.
In other words, Su Mingzhe has always known that Lian Guoying is actually the child of Shen Ninghong's family.
Although the Shen Ning Hong family is not a big family, it is still considered okay in Shen Ning. Is it really necessary to abandon even their own flesh and blood?
Zhou Yi really couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to ask Lian Guoying again.
Lian Guoying spoke first, "Junior Sister, are you confused as to why the Hong family abandoned their own flesh and blood? Are they short of me to feed them?"
Zhou Yi nodded instinctively, but soon shook his head, thought about it, and nodded again.
Lian Guoying smiled upon seeing Zhou Yi's reaction and continued, "At that time, illegitimate children were not worthy of living. To save their reputation, the Hong family would never acknowledge my mother, and naturally, they would not acknowledge me either."
"Senior Brother, I didn't know about these things, and I brought Hong Xiqiu to Yangcheng." Zhou Yi was a little embarrassed, but if she had known that Lian Guoying and Hong Xiqiu had this relationship, would she have given up Hong Xiqiu and joined Meiyi?
The answer is obviously no.
"Junior sister, from the moment the Hong family abandoned me, I no longer had any relationship with them, so you don't need to worry. In my eyes, he is just a stranger, just an employee you kindly offered, nothing more." Lian Guoying replied.
Zhou Yi knew that Lian Guoying definitely didn't completely ignore it, but - thinking of something, Zhou Yi looked at him and asked, "Did my dad call?"
Zhou Yi couldn't think of any other reason for Lian Guoying's reaction except that Su Mingzhe had called in advance.
It's not that he doesn't care at all, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted like that when he saw Hong Xiqiu just now.
Lian Guoying nodded, then said seriously, "Junior Sister, in my heart, I only have one father, Dad. He gave me a new life, nurtured me into adulthood, and personally trained me, so you really don't need to overthink it. Seeing the Hong family again, I can't help but feel a little emotional. After all, my mother died young because she was abandoned by Hong Zhenda. But, that's all I have, nothing else."
"Senior Brother, give me a hug." Zhou Yi opened her arms. At this moment, she just wanted to give Lian Guoying a hug.
Lian Guoying was so embarrassed by Zhou Yi that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised his hand and tapped Zhou Yi's forehead, jokingly saying, "I don't dare hug you. After all, Yun Gaofei's martial arts skills are higher than mine."
"Ah? Senior Brother, you can't beat Yun Gaofei either?" Zhou Yi found it a little unbelievable. "Are Yun Gaofei's punches and kicks really that powerful?"
"Don't believe it? How about we have a fight?" Yun Gaofei's voice came from the door.
Zhou Yi looked towards the door awkwardly, and saw Yun Gaofei standing there straight, staring at him intently. "Captain Yun, I don't mean to disbelieve you, but I don't believe that Senior Brother can't beat him. After all, he was brought up by my father himself."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Lian Guoying and continued, "Big Brother, you haven't fought Yun Gaofei yet, how do you know you're no match for him?"
Zhou Yi didn't believe that Lian Guoying couldn't beat Yun Gaofei. You have to know that his father's martial arts was better than He Zhan's, even now. Lian Guoying, who was taught by him personally, must be good at it.
"You want to see us fight?" Lian Guoying looked at Zhou Yi with some amusement. "Are you sure? You don't feel bad?"
