The maids and servants serving in the courtyard, seeing their second young master in such a hurry, thought something had happened.
After all, in their impression, their second young master was very particular about his image, and this was the first time they had seen him so unconcerned about his image.
As servants, they dared not secretly follow him to find out what had happened.
When Tang Jie arrived at the backyard, he knew that his parents were in the main house, so he went straight to the living room, where Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang were having tea.
Seeing her son so anxious, she thought something had happened. Forgetting to drink her tea, she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened?"
Tang Jie must have run too fast; he ran all the way back from outside and felt incredibly thirsty.
Without saying a word, he quickly poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.
This infuriated Old Master Tang, who felt that the way his son drank tea like a cow chewing on a peony was unbearable to watch, a waste of his fine tea.
Seeing how thirsty he was, she could only get angry at herself and couldn't say anything, since there was a protective old lady next to her.
Seeing how thirsty her son was, the old lady quickly grabbed another cup and poured him another one. "Slow down, slow down, don't rush. What's the hurry?"
The old lady frowned deeply, looking at her son's behavior, feeling that he was really unruly.
Thinking that if what he was going to say later wasn't anything important, he would give him a good scolding.
Tang Jie drank two glasses of water and finally calmed down. He took a deep breath and said to his elderly parents, "Today I originally planned to visit Brother Chen's house, but I unexpectedly ran into a mother and son. The lady looked remarkably like my mother when she was young, which made me wonder if I might have met my long-lost sister. As for the lady's child, he also looked quite familiar, but I just couldn't remember who he looked like."
The old woman was stunned. She never expected that after more than 20 years, she would still know her beloved daughter's beliefs. She quickly asked, "Are you sure? Are you sure that lady looks like your sister?"
The old man looked at his son with longing, and he also missed his daughter. However, as the head of the family, he buried all his pain in his heart and never dared to tell anyone.
Over the years, I've received a lot of news, and every time I hear where my daughter is, I have to go and check. Unfortunately, every time I've received news, it's been wrong.
Or it could be a trap set by someone else; I've accumulated so much disappointment that I'm starting to doubt it.
Although he hadn't confirmed it, Tang Jie felt that this time there was absolutely no mistake. "Father, Mother, I feel that this time there is absolutely no mistake, because when I met that lady this time, I had a special feeling in my heart, a feeling of wanting to get close to her, which I have never felt before, so I guess that must be it."
Upon hearing this, the old lady and the old man immediately became restless. They were both eager to meet the woman who might be their daughter.
"Waiter, hurry up and prepare the carriage. Your mother and I are going to take a look now."
Tang Jie quickly stopped them, "Father, Mother, please don't be in such a hurry. That lady just moved there from out of town, and the mansion hasn't been properly tidied up yet. We should visit her after she's finished. It would be too impolite to go now."
If you rush there now, the other party won't be ready yet, and showing up directly will make them feel very awkward.
The old lady and the old man were stopped by their son. Although they looked a little upset, they knew their son was right and they couldn't be too hasty.
We've waited all these years, so a couple more days is fine. We can use these two days to prepare some precious things. If it's confirmed to be my daughter, I'll definitely make it up to her properly.
"Master, let's hurry to the storeroom and pick out some good things. If it really is our daughter, we can't skimp on the gift. Oh, and a grandson too. Considering our daughter's age, it seems quite normal for her to have a grandson."
Seeing his wife's anxious appearance, the old man quickly followed her, saying, "Madam, slow down. You're not young anymore, you can't be in such a hurry. Let me hold your hand and we'll go together."
"Master, I wonder if our daughter will blame us for losing her and making her suffer for so many years. Even if she does blame us, it's understandable. I also wonder if her husband treats her well. But since he can buy a house near the Chen residence, his conditions shouldn't be too bad."
As she spoke, tears streamed down the old lady's face. She was worried that this time it might not be true, and even more worried that if it was indeed her daughter, her daughter might have suffered injustices over the past 20 years.
The old man was heartbroken to see her like this. He was quite henpecked, and his wife made all the decisions. Seeing her crying so sadly, he was worried that she would hurt herself, so he quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, Xiao Er said that he had a special feeling about the lady this time. Maybe it's because of their blood relationship that he felt that way. This time, he's definitely not mistaken."
Seeing his elderly mother crying incessantly, Tang Jie chimed in, "Mother, Father is right. This time there will definitely be no mistake. You're not young anymore. Don't hurt yourself, or it will be bad. Your sister will worry about you too. You don't want your newly reunited sister to be heartbroken because of you."
“That’s right, Xiao Er is absolutely right. You must have had a hard time these past 20 years. Your daughter definitely won’t blame you. We’ve never given up looking for her all these years, so I think she’ll understand.”
Old Master Tang felt that he would do anything as long as his wife didn't cry. He was terrified of his wife crying, as it broke his heart.
The old lady felt a little embarrassed to cry in front of the servants beside her son, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.
"Okay, I won't cry anymore. Let's hurry up and pick out some nice things for our daughter as a gift, and we can't forget about our grandson's gift too."
Seeing that his wife had stopped crying, the old man followed her to the back storeroom. He was quite excited, thinking of picking out some nice things as gifts for his daughter and grandson.
Tang Jie wiped the sweat from his face and finally stopped crying. If his older brother found out that he had made their mother cry, he wouldn't care about anything else and would give her a good beating.
