Old Man Guan nodded, his eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion. "My original name was Guan Wanshan. I don't know if your father ever mentioned me."
Guan Bo's parents immediately stood up. "Uncle Wanshan, it really is you! My father had guessed it might be you, but we didn't dare to think it was possible. You were all alone, and things were so chaotic back then..."
Looking at Guan Bo's parents, Old Man Guan felt a pang of emotion. He and Guan Bo's father were cousins within the five degrees of kinship, but he was the legitimate son, while Guan Bo's family was of illegitimate birth and was not valued by the family. They were separated from the family early on and did not receive any resources from the family.
Later, due to social unrest, some stayed in the capital and lived in anonymity, while others went out to make their own way in the world.
As a direct descendant, he is probably the worst off in the Guan family; his lineage is almost severed.
"How is your father? Is he in good health?" Old Man Guan asked.
Guan Bo's father was a little excited. "My dad is doing well. Guan Bo went back and told us, and my dad kept urging us to come. I didn't expect it to really be you. I immediately told my dad."
"No..." Old Man Guan wanted to wait until his leg was fully healed so he could put on airs, but Guan Bo's father was already excitedly making a phone call.
Guan Bo and Xiao Yu were both dumbfounded. How did their relationship turn into a family reunion?
Guan Bo looked at Xiao Yu. Could it be that they are too closely related to get married?
Xiaoyu... Brother, I'm adopted, I don't have the Guan family bloodline, so don't try to make a scene.
Guan Bo... patted his chest, that's good, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to accept it.
A moment later, Guan Bo's father came in excitedly, "Uncle Wanshan, my dad has already bought his plane ticket and will arrive tonight!"
Old Guan... He can't die tomorrow, what's he so busy with? Can't we wait until he's not in such a sorry state, and let him put on airs as a member of the inner circle?
"Sir, do you have any opinions about the child?" Guan Bo's father asked cautiously.
"I'll listen to my granddaughter, and I'll reserve my opinion if I have one." Old Man Guan didn't want others to think that Xiaoyu was adopted, so they would neglect or look down on her. Although she wasn't his biological daughter, she was closer to him than any biological child. She was his only child, and he wouldn't change that because of other relatives in the Guan family.
Guan Bo's parents couldn't hide their satisfied smiles. Xiao Yu was a very good person, their son liked her very much, and she was adopted by the Guan family. They wouldn't have any objections no matter which branch of the Guan family she was adopted from. They never expected that she would be adopted from the main branch.
Afterwards, Guan Bo's parents visited Li Mancang. Li Mancang was also embarrassed, as it was his first time meeting his future in-laws at the hospital, which made them wonder if he had polycystic ovary syndrome.
When he learned that Guan Bo's family was actually from the same branch as Old Man Guan, he was almost speechless with shock. Qiao'er's mother opened the door for Qiao'er, and Qiao'er was home. He suspected that Xiao Yu might have investigated Guan Bo's family affairs before contacting him.
That evening, Mr. Guan Yi, with his full head of white hair, arrived at the ward, looking travel-worn.
"Big brother!" Guan Yi rushed forward with tears in his eyes and knelt down in front of the hospital bed.
"How come you look older than me? Your old face doesn't look like it did when you were a child at all," Old Man Guan said with a hint of disdain, but his eyes were red.
"Brother, your face is all wrinkled, and you still say I'm old? When you were young, you were a dashing and carefree playboy. Even when you're old, you should still be as dignified and imposing as my great-grandfather," Guan Yi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking at the old man's face with a hint of disdain.
Old Man Guan... "I see you have a head full of white hair, while I still have plenty of black hair. I'm much younger than you."
Guan Yi: "Brother, I thought you were long gone."
Old Man Guan said, "I thought you were gone."
Guan Bo and his parents, who were listening nearby...shouldn't they be embracing and crying, creating a warm and peaceful scene of family reunion?
