Chapter 249 What Happened Eleven Years Ago
"Hey, sweetie!"
The crisp childish voice immediately melted the hearts of the two elderly people.
Jiang Qin was also touched by her daughter's cuteness. Zhou Fu came behind with a gift bag. Jiang Qin looked at the old lady and said.
"This is the gift that Tiantian and I prepared for grandma and grandpa. They are some homemade cookies and snacks. Grandma and grandpa, would you like to open them and have a taste?"
When Qiu Huilan and Huo Wu heard this, they were even more surprised. Zhou Fu hurriedly handed the gift bag to the two elderly people.
Qiu Huilan took it quickly and was visibly happy.
"Our little sweetie is really amazing! Qinqin, you are so thoughtful."
Qiu Huilan loves dim sum, just like Jiang Qin, especially Chinese dim sum.
As soon as she took the bag and smelled the fragrance inside, Qiu Huilan said, "Then try it?"
Then he said, "Have you had breakfast? Qinqin Tiantian, let's eat something together?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Sister Wu, who immediately understood. After a while, she contacted the kitchen to pass on the early instructions and had the breakfast delivered.
In fact, both of them had eaten and were not very hungry, but when the delicious food was served, Tiantian blinked her eyes and was obviously attracted.
"Mommy, that, that little butterfly! Tiantian wants to eat it."
After staring at a piece of butterfly-shaped pastry for a while, Tiantian asked for help from Jiang Qin who was sitting next to her.
Just as Jiang Qin was about to pick it up, Huo Wu, who was always intimidating without getting angry, smiled kindly and gently picked up the dessert that his great-grandson liked with his serving chopsticks and put it on Tiantian's plate.
Tiantian's beautiful eyes, like sweet black grapes, lit up, and she didn't get nervous at all, but thanked him generously.
"Thank you, Grandpa Zeng~!"
Huo Wu's eyes curved with joy, "You're welcome, have a sweet meal."
"Hmm!" It is still difficult for children to control the strength when eating pastries with chopsticks.
Tiantian tried it and found it didn't work. After a brief pause, she slowly picked up the children's fork specially prepared for her in the kitchen, put it into the pastry, tasted it carefully, and her eyes lit up. Then she continued to eat with bigger mouthfuls.
Huo Wu had been in the army for a long time, and he was accustomed to observing people when he saw them. Most of the time, it was a subconscious behavior.
Everything that Tiantian did while eating the pastries just now was seen by him.
The old man raised his lips slightly, and his eyes suddenly showed more fondness for Tiantian——
A child's character can be seen at the age of three. The little boy is only two and a half years old, but he is calm and organized in dealing with things. He was also very generous in replying to him just now. He will definitely have a great future.
Jiang Qin was sitting next to Tiantian, so she naturally noticed the way the old man was looking at Tiantian.
Although she had the kindness of an elder, she was still keenly aware of other thoughts.
However, some things are best not to be exposed, at least not in front of children.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Huo took out a small iron box from the gift bag that smelled so sweet to her.
The small iron box is printed with cartoon patterns, which is quite cute.
Jiang Qin caught a glimpse of it and whispered a reminder. Mrs. Huo's eyes widened a little, and then she smiled indulgently.
He also whispered: "It's okay, I'll try it."
Tiantian was concentrating on eating the butterfly pastry and didn't pay attention to anything else.
The old lady tasted the sweet biscuits and took a big sip of the scented tea.
The scented tea without sugar tastes extra sweet when you drink it.
Jiang Qin's expression was complicated for a moment. The old lady smiled and praised: "Delicious, delicious!"
Jiang Qin: “…”
The old man next to him was about to say that he wanted to try it too, when suddenly, the elevator door opened behind the curtain.
When they heard the familiar footsteps, everyone present, except Tiantian who was eating pastries, tensed up instantly.
Looking at the entrance behind the curtain, old lady Qiu Huilan frowned suddenly.
This kid, didn’t they agree that she would finish talking first and send him a message before he would come down?
The curtain was opened, revealing a man dressed in a way that was clearly different from his usual attire.
All of a sudden, the old lady's brows were no longer frowned, but her face was full of shock.
Behind the curtain, the man dressed like a young man in his early twenties is... her grandson who gives her a headache?
Look at that hairstyle and what's hanging around the neck, what are those?
But unfortunately, Jiang Qin, who heard the footsteps, did not look towards the curtain entrance like the others.
Instead, like his daughter, he was concentrating on eating.
Although he looked lonely when he came out, Horsley did not give up.
From a distance, he first gave the old lady a pleading look.
Qiu Huilan: “…”
I really don't want to pay attention to him!
Huo Sili looked at Qiu Huilan without moving his eyes.
Qiu Huilan looked at the ceiling helplessly. Thinking that this person was her only grandson and she had already agreed to do this favor, she could only help.
But before getting busy, I couldn’t help but curse in my heart - I agreed to follow her instructions, so why couldn’t I wait before going downstairs?
Then she looked at Jiang Qin and said, "Qinqin, grandma wants to talk to you alone."
Jiang Qin paused while eating.
Qiu Huilan's old face turned red, and she cursed her grandson in her heart for being so disappointing. When she spoke again, she was very gentle.
"May I?"
The old lady was a great benefactor to her, so it was difficult for Jiang Qin to refuse.
After all, although she roughly guessed who the old lady was going to talk to her about, at this moment, Qiu Huilan did not point it out.
If she brings it up directly, the atmosphere will definitely become awkward.
Jiang Qin glanced at Tiantian who was happily eating pastries, and felt a little unhappy, but she had to nod.
"Okay, then, let's go to the other side and talk?"
The prerequisite for discussing the matter is that the daughter will not be harmed in any way.
Qiu Huilan naturally understood and felt even more guilty.
"Well, let's go to the small study and talk." Qiu Huilan said.
Jiang Qin greeted Tiantian, and Qiu Huilan left Sister Wu behind. Sister Wu brought over the gift that Qiu Huilan had someone prepare in advance. Tiantian didn't want to stay here any longer and wanted to be with her mother.
But thinking about what Jiang Qin had just said that she would be back soon, she looked at her great-grandfather who had just picked up some pastries for her, and the strange uncle who came over and claimed to be her dad.
Also, she was holding a lot of beautiful gifts and looked very kind, a bit like Aunt Zhou's aunt.
A feeling of uneasiness arose, but soon subsided.
On the other side, in the small study, Qiu Huilan asked Jiang Qin to enter first, and then she came in and closed the door.
Tiantian was not here. Jiang Qin did not sit on the sofa and asked directly: "Grandma, do you want to talk to me about Huo Sili?"
Qiu Huilan paused as she was walking in. For the first time, Jiang Qin saw Qiu Huilan smile awkwardly.
"Sorry, Qinqin."
Jiang Qin didn't say it was okay, because she quickly remembered the call from Sister Wu the day before yesterday, hoping that she would come to the old house soon, saying that the two old people missed her and Tiantian very much.
She felt strange at the time, but now it seems that the emotions that arose in her at that time were not strange.
However, Jiang Qin naturally thought that it was most likely that Huo Sili asked Qiu Huilan for help.
After all, he is his only grandson, so it is normal for him to help.
However, the discomfort that Jiang Qin felt at this moment was real.
Seeing Jiang Qin's expression, Qiu Huilan knew what Jiang Qin was thinking. She sighed, hesitated for a moment, and chose to get straight to the point, "Qinqin, I want to confess something to you."
"Perhaps after you know these things, you won't be so disgusted with Si Li. As for the rest, grandma will never force you."
Jiang Qin came back to her senses. Although she was still unhappy, she finally sat down after hearing what the old man said.
Qiu Huilan sat opposite Jiang Qin, sighed again, and talked about what happened eleven years ago.
"At that time, I don't know how Huo Chishen found out that he was not the biological son of Chengzheng and Yuan Lianqing. Anyway, after he found out, he began to plan how to continue to stay in our Huo family.
"He knew that Yuan Lianqing loved him, so he directed and acted out the play himself, thinking that he was a hero saving his mother. But to his confusion, a real enemy infiltrated his group and caused him to break his leg.
“But, even though his leg was broken, Yuan Lianqing was really deceived by him.
"However, it was because of his self-righteousness that we found out that he was not our biological grandson. He had a severe hemorrhage and needed a blood transfusion. When we checked his blood type, we found out that he was not type O."
"Chengzheng and Yuan Lianqing both have type O blood, so they can only give birth to children with type O blood, unless there is a gene mutation during pregnancy, but the probability of that is extremely low. Later, a paternity test was done, confirming that he is not our Huo family's child."
Having said that, Old Mrs. Huo sighed heavily again.
Jiang Qin was also shocked when she heard this.
She never thought that everything would start like this.
Tea had already been prepared in the small study. Old Mrs. Huo poured herself a cup of tea, drank it, and continued talking.
"So we started looking for the real child of our Huo family. Thank God, we found him soon, but..."
Qiu Huilan didn't know what she was thinking about, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she raised her hand to wipe away the tears.
"At that time, Si Li was not called Si Li, but Chi Shen. The damn human traffickers passed it down layer by layer, calling him by the wrong name and removing his surname. It just so happened that the buyer's surname was Chi, and he was the leader of their gang."
"The year we found him, Si Li had stopped going to school. Later we found out that he was trying to escape the surveillance of human traffickers. He was admitted to university but dropped out secretly, and went all the way north to Kyoto to do business, hoping to expose the traffickers when he had the ability.
"He was only 20 years old that year. Although he had been kidnapped for 20 years and lived an ordinary life, he would definitely have a bright future if he looked like that."
"He probably thought the same thing at the time, so he didn't want to return to our house, saying that wealthy families are impersonal and not a place he likes to stay. No matter how we persuaded him, he didn't move."
"later……"
Jiang Qin could roughly guess what happened later, but she didn't know the specific reason.
But at this moment, she thought of a possibility, and her pupils trembled suddenly.
