Hearing her grandson's rare interest in these family matters, Grandma Gu said, "Your uncle and aunt are out on assignment. We called them and told them they've taken leave. They'll be back in the next two days."
Gu Qinglin nodded.
This compound is full of housing for scientific researchers like Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.
Although they suffered some impacts during those special years, it did not affect their enthusiasm to devote themselves to China's scientific research.
Influenced by them, many of this generation’s children and grandchildren are also engaged in scientific research.
The family whose daughter was swapped was surnamed Li, and Gu Qinglin had to call the person who was swapped aunt.
He had met the fake aunt several times. She was a very peaceful person in front of children, but he heard that her parents, brothers and sisters loved her very much at home, which made her very spoiled.
More than ten years ago, everyone in the family was busy, so they asked their fake aunt to pick up their eldest brother's child. But somehow, the child was lost.
The child was already seven or eight years old when he was lost. Logically, he would not have gotten lost. However, when the family returned, they found that the aunt and nephew were not at home. When they realized what was happening and went to look for them, the child was gone.
This was the first time in so many years that the Li family had a quarrel.
The fake aunt thought it was not her fault, but that her niece did not follow up and she lost it.
The sister-in-law, who had never had a quarrel with her sister-in-law since she got married, slapped her in the face.
I have beaten and scolded him, but after so many years, I still haven't found the child.
The atmosphere in the Li family became very depressing.
In order to find his daughter, Uncle Li often took the initiative to go out and work while looking for his child.
This time he was sent abroad again. After hearing that there was a technology that could increase their chances of finding their daughter, the Li couple submitted an application and were able to come back during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Qinglin felt that since Uncle Li already knew the news, whether Xiaoyue was the lost child of the Li family would be known once they returned and submitted the blood sample to the hospital.
He didn't say much.
I chatted with my grandparents for a while and then went back to my room.
In Beijing, Ye Jiaying reviewed all the people she had planned to visit and sent them New Year's greetings in advance.
At Fang Fang's home, she also met Fang Fang's husband, whom she had met a few times before as a researcher in China.
He finally returned home only after his children could speak.
When Ye Jiaying arrived, he was baring his teeth and coaxing the child.
As a result, when the child saw Ye Jiaying coming, he stumbled towards Ye Jiaying, calling "Bubu".
Even my biological father doesn’t want me anymore.
This made Fang Fang laugh out loud.
The main thing is that he doesn't make a fuss, but smiles happily behind the child.
When Gu Qinglin came to pick her up, she told him that she had met his colleague and that her son didn't recognize her after several years of seclusion.
She originally told it as a joke, but Gu Qinglin looked at her very seriously.
After returning to the home given to her by Zheng Ganba, Gu Qinglin poured hot water for Ye Jiaying as if she were familiar with the place and helped her hang up her clothes.
He also hung his coat on the hanger before seriously taking Ye Jiaying's hand.
"Xiaoying, do you regret dating me?"
Ye Jiaying was stunned by the question.
Aren't the two of them doing fine? Why are you suddenly regretting being in a relationship?
She uttered a puzzled, "Huh?"
"My job is special. Like you said, if there's a confidential research project, I might not be able to be with you for a year or even two years. It will be very difficult for you to raise the child alone in the future."
Ye Jiaying: Ah?
"I'm afraid I won't be here when you need me. What will you do alone?"
Gu Qinglin frowned, his face full of distress, as if Ye Jiaying was already pregnant and he was about to leave home to work, leaving the orphan and widow with no one to take care of them.
Ye Jiaying was confused.
She was just in a relationship, and fast forward to having a child, she hadn't thought about it yet.
