"It's about... Qin Jun and Qin Yu."
Honglian glanced at Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin, and said slowly.
"What?"
Xiao Yuqin and Xia Lan both found it unbelievable after hearing Honglian's words.
"..."
"cause and effect?"
Xia Lan looked at Xiao Yuqin.
"I always thought he was just a poor boy with no parents, how come he suddenly has a father?"
For the first time, Xiao Yuqin felt like she was watching a spectacle unfold and it was happening right under her nose.
Xia Lan also found it a bit funny.
"No, it's been so many years, and you're only finding out you have a son now?"
"This is a bit outrageous, isn't it?"
Xia Lan looked at Hong Lian and thought that this was something that even a novel couldn't describe.
“This is Qin Yu’s face after you left last time. He looks a bit like that person… And since we got into trouble last time, we brought it up…”
Honglian lowered his head. If he and Zhang Jin hadn't done something wrong last time, this matter probably wouldn't have been brought up.
She was just trying to distract herself.
However, they did escape unscathed, but the orders they received were to investigate everything about the Qin family.
"I'll show you a picture and you'll understand."
Seeing that Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin looked incredulous, Honglian knew they wouldn't believe her, so she took out the photos she had prepared beforehand.
"...Mom, this..."
The moment Xia Lan saw the photo, she turned to look at Xiao Yuqin.
This is a very old photo, so old that it's only black and white, but you can see a man sitting on horseback... with the same face as Qin Jun and Qin Yu.
If it weren't for its age, I would have thought it was fake.
"There's also a date on it, it's... 1942."
Looking at the photo, Xia Lan couldn't help but believe it.
The man in the photo is probably around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, just like the naive girl she was when she met Qin Yu.
"Well... one photo can't prove anything, can it?"
Xiao Yuqin's heart tightened.
"Because of the special circumstances, we can't be sure whether they are actually related."
Honglian looked at the two of them, but she couldn't guarantee anything.
However, they are so similar that it's hard to believe they are not related.
"How did he lose his child?"
Xiao Yuqin raised an eyebrow and questioned.
Qin Yu was lost because she was maliciously switched at the hospital, but what about Qin Jun?
She knew that he had grown up in the countryside, eating food from many families. When he was four years old, a couple was willing to adopt him. However, his adoptive parents were in poor health and raised him until he was fifteen. Then, an illness took them both away.
After losing his adoptive parents, Qin Jun simply joined the army and spent half his life in the military.
Until I met her...
At the time, her father looked down on Qin Jun, who came from a rural background, and felt that Xiao Yuqin and the poor boy were not a good match for each other.
So the reason he was able to marry Xiao Yuqin was truly because Xiao Yuqin firmly chose him.
After getting married, he put Xiao Yuqin first in everything. Even when his son was switched, Qin Jun didn't want to hurt Xiao Yuqin and chose to bear it himself.
Now you're saying that even he himself is a lost child?
"They want to tell you this themselves..."
Honglian glanced at Xiao Yuqin, but dared not speak or inquire.
It's just conveying the message from the other side.
"not see."
Xiao Yuqin pursed her lips, turned around, and took Xia Lan's hand to leave.
"..."
Honglian hesitated, seeing Xiao Yuqin's angry expression, and dared not pursue the matter further.
After returning home, Xia Lan looked at Xiao Yuqin and gently hugged her.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Xia Lan was worried about Xiao Yuqin and asked.
Xiao Yuqin leaned on Xia Lan's shoulder and pursed her lips.
“You know, your dad’s childhood wasn’t much different from Qin Yu’s…”
"He also grew up in the countryside and suffered a lot. He almost starved to death when he was a child..."
"There was a war going on back then..."
Do you know how he survived?
Xiao Yuqin had never told Xia Lan about Qin Jun, and Xia Lan listened attentively.
In Qin Jun's childhood, even the most desirable male children were unwanted.
There was war going on everywhere back then...
Life can only be the hardest, there's no hardest.
Xia Lan couldn't even imagine how a child could survive in such an era.
"He achieved everything through his own hard work. After meeting me, he also lacked confidence for a time. He always knew that my dad didn't like him."
“He also wanted to break up with me, but I didn’t want to. I insisted that I was going to marry him.”
Xiao Yuqin shed tears. Back then, everyone laughed at her for insisting on marrying a poor boy and saying she would suffer in the future.
However, she still resolutely married Qin Jun, and Qin Jun did not disappoint her. He trained hard in the army and climbed step by step to his current position.
Xiao Guoqiang didn't help him, which is why Qin Jun is so assertive. He didn't rely on his father-in-law at all; he got to where he is today through his own efforts.
"I've been married to him for so many years, and he's spoiled me for so many years. He has never given me any trouble."
"The only thing he ever lied to me about was about Qin Yu."
No one else felt sorry for Qin Jun, but she did.
This man never made her suffer the slightest grievance, and she lived a happy life for most of her life.
Xiao Yuqin saw Qin Jun's kindness and felt deeply for him.
So, is Qin Jun also someone who originally had a family? Is he also a lost child?
And judging from their appearance, their family is quite well-off.
He suffered so much in the past...
If you had the ability, why didn't you bring Qin Jun back before...?
How many years have passed? Even Qin Jun is now a grandfather. Why is he here to claim kinship?
Xiao Yuqin couldn't accept it.
Xia Lan could probably understand Xiao Yuqin's feelings.
If it were her, half a lifetime has passed, what's the point of coming to claim kinship now?
"What's wrong?"
When Qin Jun and Qin Yu returned, they noticed that Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin looked rather strange.
"It's nothing, you're all back now."
Xiao Yuqin immediately stood up and went to the kitchen.
Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, who opened her mouth, unsure of what to say...
Qin Jun and Qin Yu exchanged a glance, clearly sensing that something had happened at home that they were unaware of.
The two split up; one went to the kitchen, while the other pulled Xia Lan back to the room.
"Tell me! What happened?"
Qin Yu held Xia Lan in his arms, forcing her to tell him.
Xia Lan hesitated, unsure of what to say...
"Just say what you want to say!"
Seeing Xia Lan's expression, Qin Yu immediately spoke.
"The problem is, I don't know how to explain it...it's too complicated..."
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, pulled him to sit down on the bed, and told him everything that had happened that day.
When Qin Yu heard that someone wanted to grab Xia Lan, he immediately stood up and was about to rush out.
Xia Lan quickly grabbed him.
"Let's put that aside for now, we haven't finished talking yet!"
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu and told him about Hong Lian's appearance.
Qin Yu listened to the increasingly bizarre stories and was speechless for a moment.
