The next morning, before it was completely light, Zhao Weiguo drove anxiously to the gate of Capital University.
Beneath his seemingly calm exterior, his overflowing excitement almost burst out of his chest.
But it was still early, so Zhao Weiguo could only lean back in his seat and wait until dawn to look for Song Weizheng.
He closed his eyes, thought about what happened after he returned home last night, and sighed in his heart.
Last night, after Zhao Weiguo brought Zhao Jiabao back home, he threw him in front of the two elders of the Zhao family.
The two elders of the Zhao family looked confused, thinking that Zhao Jiabao had made some mistake outside again.
But Zhao Weiguo gave them a shocking revelation as soon as he opened his mouth: "We were deceived. He is not Qinglan's son at all, and Qinglan is not dead at all."
These words contained so much information that the two elders of the Zhao family were unable to react at all.
The old lady was stunned for a moment and asked, "Weiguo, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Weiguo rubbed his forehead and sat down. His mind was very confused now. What he saw and heard today made his head almost explode.
On the one hand, he was angry at Zhao Jiabao and the people behind him for covering up the truth; on the other hand, he was excited to learn that his sister was not dead, which made his emotions very complicated.
Zhao Qianyun saw that his father had a headache, so he quickly explained, "Grandpa, grandma, there is a classmate in our school named Song Weizheng. He said that the orchid jade pendant in our house belonged to his mother. His mother was separated from her family 20 years ago and lost her memory. She only had this jade pendant. This jade pendant was lost a few years ago, and I don't know how it appeared on Zhao Jiabao."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two elders of the Zhao family, who looked as if they had been struck by lightning, and said weakly, "Grandpa and grandma, were you really sure that... Aunt Qinglan had passed away?"
The old lady felt a buzzing in her head and almost couldn't stand. Zhao Qianyun hurried forward to support her and said, "Grandma, don't get excited!"
The old man took two deep breaths and said word by word in a trembling voice: "What on earth is going on?!"
Zhao Jiabao was dragged back by Zhao Weiguo without regard for his dignity. Seeing the two elders of the Zhao family who usually loved him, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw. He rushed over and hugged the legs of the old lady Zhao, crying, "Grandma, my uncle has gone crazy. He heard what outsiders said and suspected that I am not your biological grandson! You found me and brought me up with your own eyes. How could I be fake?"
Old Mrs. Zhao was about to soften her heart subconsciously, but the next moment, Zhao Weiguo suddenly stood up, ruthlessly dragged Zhao Jiabao away from her legs and threw him aside, pointing at him with a finger, his voice filled with cold ruthlessness.
"You're lying all the time! I'm going to take care of you now!"
"Wait!" Seeing Zhao Weiguo rolling up his sleeves and preparing to teach Zhao Jiabao a lesson, Mrs. Zhao stopped him and said, "Weiguo, tell me clearly what happened? Why did you suddenly say that Jiabao is not Qinglan's son? And Qinglan... Qinglan... what's going on?!"
Zhao Weiguo: "Just as Qianyun said just now, Qinglan does have a son, but he is not the one we found. He is now at Capital University. Tomorrow, I will go with him to pick up Qinglan."
Zhao Jiabao cried unconvincedly, "Uncle, why do you believe everything others say? I am your nephew, and you watched me grow up, why don't you believe me?!"
"This..." Old Lady Zhao also doubted, "Yes, Weiguo, when we found Jiabao that year, we also interviewed everyone in the village. They could accurately describe Qinglan's appearance, and they also knew what kind of clothes she was wearing when she first appeared. It was exactly the same as what Qinglan wore on the day she went missing! We have confirmed all of this, how could it be false?"
Zhao Weiguo shook his head and said, "It is because everyone can accurately describe Qinglan's appearance and clothes that it seems even more fake. I will investigate this matter again. Anyone who dares to deceive the Zhao family will be caught one by one by me!"
He was not there when Zhao Jiabao was found. It was the two elders of the Zhao family who found the jade pendant and went to the village to look for it. After the people found it, he was suspicious and went to the village again. Everyone there could really describe what his sister looked like, as if they had really lived together for many years. But even so, Zhao Weiguo's doubts were still not completely dissipated.
Maybe it was because Zhao Jiabao didn’t look anything like Zhao Qinglan, or maybe it was because the whole thing seemed too strange.
However, since there was no trace of the broken silk, and seeing that the two elders were overjoyed, they became much more energetic, as if adopting Zhao Jiabao had given them new hope. Zhao Weiguo had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and acknowledge this nephew.
Zhao Jiabao couldn't help shaking after hearing what Zhao Weiguo said, and then he cried out, "Uncle, you are wronging me! I know I am useless and you don't like me, but you can't expel me from the Zhao family because of this! If my mother in her grave saw you bullying me like this, she would be heartbroken!"
Master Zhao said sternly: "Weiguo, why are you doing this? This is no small matter!"
Zhao Weiguo looked at Zhao Jiabao who was still making excuses and said coldly: "Do you think I don't like you? Do you think no one else knows what you did?"
He stood in front of Zhao Jiabao and said to him condescendingly: "Indeed, if I hadn't insisted on following you secretly today, no one would know that you had caused so much trouble outside!"
Zhao Jiabao stopped crying the moment he heard that. His face turned pale and he looked in disbelief.
Zhao Weiguo had been secretly following him today? Doesn't that mean he saw everything he did when he went to the pawnshop and looked for Uncle Zhong?!
As expected, Zhao Weiguo continued, "I don't believe what you said about giving away the jade pendant and jewelry, and I also want to know what you were doing outside, so I secretly followed you out not long after you left the house. As for what I saw, you must know it yourself."
He turned to look at the two elders of the Zhao family and told them everything he had seen today.
The two elders of the Zhao family were shocked again. The jade pendant and jewelry were not given away as gifts, but were used by Zhao Jiabao as exchange money? !
And there was Old Zhong. It was he who found the orchid jade pendant and presented it to them, and then he led them to find Zhao Jiabao.
In order to express their gratitude, they also helped his family a lot in the past few years.
But I didn't expect that Zhao Jiabao had been secretly in contact with him!
Seeing that the two elders of the Zhao family were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time, Zhao Jiabao wanted to continue fighting: "Uncle, it's me! I am greedy and pawned things to make money! I will admit it if you want to beat me or scold me, but you can't say that I am not a descendant of the Zhao family! Even if I lied, you can't believe what outsiders say!"
As he spoke, he began to splash dirty water on Song Wei Zheng's head: "That Song Wei Zheng came from a poor and remote countryside. He must be jealous of me, jealous of my good family background, so he came up with such a sinister plan to replace me!"
"The reason I had to pawn my stuff for money was because he cheated me! I originally wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson, but he took advantage of me. The gang asked me for 10,000 yuan before they would shut up and not tell anyone! That's why I had no choice but to come up with this idea!"
Zhao Qianyun couldn't help herself after listening to this: "So it was you who asked someone to hurt Song Weizheng! You are such a bastard! Fortunately, only the arm was chopped off. If it was somewhere else, wouldn't the person be dead?!"
Zhao Weiguo was shocked when he heard this and asked, "What happened?! Was he stabbed?"
Zhao Qianyun nodded and said angrily, "Some time ago, Song Weizheng met a group of hooligans outside the school. They stabbed him with a knife. Fortunately, only his arm was injured and it has healed now. Suishun has always told us that he was robbed, but I didn't expect it was intentional by Zhao Jiabao!"
Zhao Weiguo was so angry that he kicked him hard: "Who gave you the courage?! You dare to do such a thing with the Zhao family behind you! Not to mention that he is Qinglan's real son. If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you!"
The two elders of the Zhao family were also horrified after hearing this. They had never expected that their grandson, who was so well-behaved and pleasing in front of them, would actually resort to murder and hurt others outside!
Mrs. Zhao covered her aching chest and asked carefully, "Is the child...really okay? How is he now?"
Although there was no substantial evidence and she had not actually met Song Weizheng, looking at Zhao Weiguo's determined look, Mrs. Zhao was already vaguely convinced in her heart.
Zhao Qianyun: "Grandma, don't worry, he's fine now. My roommate Suisui is his girlfriend and she's taking good care of him."
Old Mrs. Zhao nodded, and her anxious heart was slightly relieved.
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was concerned about Song Weizheng, Zhao Jiabao said in a panic, "Grandma, that man is a despicable liar. Don't believe him! How could he be from our Zhao family? Uncle, there is no proof. Do you believe him just because he said a few words? If he says the jade pendant is his, does it mean it is his? He bought my jade pendant and took it for himself when I wasn't paying attention! He is a liar!"
Zhao Weiguo looked at his tearful face and said clearly, "Proof? Let me tell you what proof is. Besides the jade pendant, his face is the proof!"
Zhao Qianyun's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "Face... That's right! I've always felt that Song Weizheng looks a bit like my dad."
As she recalled, she suddenly said, "No wonder... No wonder..."
Zhao Jiabao seemed to be shocked, his mouth opened in astonishment, unable to speak.
Zhao Weiguo continued: "No one knows him better than I do. His face really looks like me when I was young."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was shocked. Suddenly, a picture flashed through her mind. It seemed that she was on the Great Wall, with a handsome and deep profile of a young man, giving her an inexplicably familiar feeling.
