Chapter 57 Dead
In the evening, at the dinner table.
After finishing the meal, Li Zhi slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked up at Gu Yuntian who was sitting at the main seat. Her dark eyes were clear and unfocused. "By the way, Dad, how is the investigation going on with the wrong baby incident at the hospital?"
Gu Yuntian wiped his mouth and put down the tissue in his hand. "I was just about to tell you about this. Yanran's biological mother has been found."
Gu Yanran's pupils suddenly contracted. She didn't expect to find it so quickly.
Her heart couldn't help but start beating fast, and she secretly hoped that her biological parents were also rich, so that she could go back even if she wanted to.
Gu Yanran pretended to be surprised, "Really, Dad? Then where is my biological mother now?"
Gu Yuntian's eyes fell on her and he sighed softly, "But Yanran, I have some bad news to tell you..."
Gu Yanran was slightly stunned, the smile on her face faded a little, and she subconsciously clenched the chopsticks in her hand, "Dad, what bad news?"
"Although we found your biological mother, she died of illness more than 20 years ago, probably just one or two years after giving birth to you." Gu Yuntian said slowly.
Gu Yanran's clenched hands suddenly relaxed, her eyelashes moved, and she felt delighted. This was not bad news at all, it was extremely good news!
In this way, she could stay in the Gu family openly, after all, she had nowhere else to go.
Gu Yanran's mood changed quickly, and sadness instantly filled her brows. "How could this happen..."
Seeing this, Jiang Ruyun's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache. She stood up from the chair, walked to the opposite side, sat down next to her, reached out and held her in her arms, and comforted her softly.
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you only mention your biological mother? Where's your father?"
Gu Yuntian looked at her again and explained, "The column for father is blank. Yanran was born out of wedlock."
Gu Yanran lowered her eyes and said in a choked voice, "Then I have no family... I originally thought that I would return to my biological parents after finding them... But where can I go now..."
Jiang Ruyun patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Silly child, what are you talking about? We are your family. You don't have to go anywhere."
Gu Yu hadn't expected that Gu Yanran's life experience was so difficult. Her biological mother was gone, and she didn't even know who her biological father was. He said in agreement, "Yes, Sister Yanran, we are your family. Just stay. Isn't it good like this now?"
Gu Yanran raised her head with tears in her eyes, her gaze slid across to Li Zhi and her son sitting opposite her, and whispered, "Really? Can I really continue to stay here?"
Jiang Ruyun raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, "Of course it's true, Mom never wanted you to leave her side."
Gu Yuntian nodded, "We had already agreed that you would stay and become the second daughter of the Gu family."
Gu Yanran sniffed and said with a touching look, "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
Li Yanjing frowned as he looked at the heartwarming scene in front of him. Aunt Zhang was clearly still alive and well. Was the result of the investigation really correct?
He turned to look at Li Zhi beside him, asking her what was going on.
Li Zhi picked up the water cup beside her and took a sip. She looked quite relaxed and gave him a look that told him to stay calm.
Gu Yanran looked at Li Zhi opposite her, and curled the corners of her lips slightly. She finally got back 10%.
......
After dinner, after drinking tea and chatting in the living room for a while, Li Zhi took Li Yanjing back to the room.
Li Yanjing closed the door and asked impatiently, "Is there something wrong with the investigation results? How could he die?"
Li Zhi controlled the wheelchair to stop and said slowly, "Auntie Zhang had a twin sister who died over twenty years ago."
Li Yanjing's eyes widened slightly, his brain working rapidly, and he instantly realized what she meant. "The person we investigated is Zhang Ma's biological sister?!"
Li Zhi nodded, "That's right. What Aunt Zhang registered at the hospital back then should have been her sister's identity information. After all, they look alike."
"Then are we going to let Gu Yanran stay in the Gu family now?" Li Yanjing asked.
"She hasn't done anything out of line. Your grandparents still treat her as their own daughter. After all, the relationship they've had for more than 20 years is not fake. Let's just wait and see what happens." Li Zhi replied.
She paused and continued, "Have you forgotten what I told you before? Even if they knew it was Aunt Zhang who was responsible for the mistake, they wouldn't blame Gu Yanran. After all, she was just a baby who knew nothing at the time. If they wanted to punish anyone, they would only punish Aunt Zhang."
"When the time comes, Gu Yanran can cry and act like a spoiled brat and still use the relationship of more than 20 years to stay in the Gu family."
Li Yanjing nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
......
The next day.
Gu Yanran looked at the lady who was walking over with her bag and waved at her, "Aunt Huo, here."
Huo Shu nodded, walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down.
She put her bag on the empty seat next to her, her eyes then fell on Jiang Ruyun who was sitting opposite her. She said, "There was a traffic jam on the road, so I was a few minutes late."
"It's okay, we just arrived too." Jiang Ruyun said.
Gu Yanran reached out and picked up the tea set, poured a cup of tea, and then placed it next to Huo Shu, "Auntie Huo, be careful of the heat."
Huo Shu smiled and said, "Thank you, Yanran."
Jiang Ruyun suddenly thought of something, "By the way, will Xiaowang go back this time?"
Huo Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat. "I'm not going back. I'll stay in Beijing from now on."
"This child is the same. He left for five years and never came back during the holidays. Now that he is getting older, he has finally settled down." Jiang Ruyun said.
Huo Shu laughed and shook his head, putting down the teacup in his hand. "How can I say I've settled down? I haven't made any progress at all. I only agreed to stay because of Ting Zhou's words."
"Aunt Huo, what has Brother Tingzhou been busy with recently?" Gu Yanran asked.
"I don't know what he's busy with all day. I don't see him for every other day." Huo Shu paused and continued, "Don't you have WeChat? You can send him a message when you have nothing to do."
Gu Yanran sighed softly, "I sent it, but Brother Tingzhou didn't even reply to my message."
Huo Shu frowned slightly, "Really? I'll go back and talk to him later."
Gu Yanran quickly shook her hand, "Aunt Huo, please don't tell Brother Tingzhou... I'm fine..."
"It's okay, Auntie will make the decision for you. Otherwise, he won't learn his lesson and you will have to marry him in the future." Huo Shu said.
Gu Yanran's eyelashes moved, she smiled shyly, and said nothing.
