While the children were having lunch because they were tired and hungry from playing, Xu Cheng told Zhao Huaijiang all about his purpose of returning to China and what happened after he returned.
At last, he smiled bitterly: "Although Yanyan grew up abroad, the Shangguan family always gives priority to teaching their children in their mother tongue.
Plus, she is a simple person, and I didn't want her to get involved in the old feud between my sister and my eldest brother and his wife, so I asked her to take Ranran and Qingqing to the Xu family's hometown first.
Who knew that after I dealt with my sister's affairs and returned to my hometown to look for her, I found out that she had not returned home at all."
Then began his long journey of finding a child and a wife.
During this period, he also sought help from domestic officials, but the situation at that time was different from later times. There were surveillance cameras everywhere, and one had to carry an ID card when going out.
If a person gets lost at this time, it would be impossible to find him even if he died. There is no need to hide. He can just hide in the mountains and may not be discovered for decades or even a lifetime.
Xu Chengren was on the verge of collapse, and he only persisted because he held on to a glimmer of hope.
Zhao Huaian didn't know that Shangguan Yan had lost her memory. He just suddenly realized it. No wonder Shangguan Yan could speak fluent foreign languages, and no wonder the girl looked at Andrew and Julia as if it was nothing special.
You have to know that when Chinese people look at foreigners with different hair and skin color from themselves, except for a few places, people in other places see foreigners with a curious and gossipy look as if they are looking at something rare. However, Shangguan Yan is very calm.
But why didn’t she go back and look for someone if she went to the wrong place?
Since she was a returned overseas Chinese, if she found the authorities, they would definitely help her as much as possible, but she didn't seem to indicate that she was lost.
Zhao Huaijiang had no idea that Shangguan Yan had lost her memory.
However, he was certain that what Xu Cheng was looking for was the translator for Sister Mei's trip.
Yes, Shangguan Yan went to be Jiang Mei's translator.
His surname was Shangguan, he could speak foreign languages, and he had a son and a daughter. All his characteristics perfectly matched what Xu Cheng said.
Of course, wouldn’t we know the truth by bringing Xu Cheng back to face Shangguan Yan?
Because of the relationship with Mr. Xu Wenjian, Zhao Huaijiang can still help.
Otherwise, if Xu Cheng had to find a way to meet Shangguan Yan on his own, it would have been another hassle.
It was different when Zhao Huaijiang helped. That night, Xu Cheng sat in the living room of the Song family with a nervous look on his face.
Zhao Huaijiang greeted Jiang Mei, and Jiang Mei also asked Shangguan Yan. Shangguan Yan felt that the name Xu Cheng sounded familiar and agreed to meet him.
She is now very confident. If there is anyone like Xu Sizhu who deceives her again, she will ask her sisters to have someone beat him up.
She is no longer the same person she was back then.
Shangguan Yan came back in a hurry, and Xu Cheng's eyes turned red when he saw her.
"Yanyan..."
"Chengcheng?"
Shangguan Yan blurted out the name when she saw Xu Cheng, but then she felt confused because she still hadn't recovered her previous memory and she just subconsciously called out this name.
Over there, Qi Yunyi, who was eating fruit next to the beautiful Gao Lan, felt goose bumps all over his body.
She glanced at Song Mingzhu and felt that it was not awkward at all to call out her friends' names using reduplicated words.
It has to be her friends.
Little did people know that Shangguan Yan and Xu Cheng had known each other since childhood and could be considered childhood sweethearts, but they just didn't grow up together inseparable.
Even though they were childhood sweethearts, it didn't stop Qi Yunyi from feeling goosebumps all over her body.
The moment he saw Shangguan Yan, Xu Cheng knew that he had finally found his wife.
At that moment, tears started to fall from his eyes. What's said about men not shedding tears easily? Do you know how he has been living these past two years?
He traveled back and forth between the capital and his hometown over and over again, asking people with the portrait everywhere, searching along the way and encountering countless dangers.
That’s nothing. The most distressing thing is that after searching for so long, we haven’t found any clues at all.
If it weren't for a fellow villager who said that he seemed to see a young woman dressed very fashionably taking a train and getting off by herself after arriving at the station, he would have remained hopeful.
He thought Shangguan Yan was simply lost, so he continued to insist. He didn't know if he could hold on until this time.
Now that he found the person unexpectedly, how could he control his emotions?
Although Shangguan Yan didn't recognize Xu Cheng at this time, she still couldn't bear to see him cry. Seeing him crying, she hurried over to comfort him.
Even the comforting actions and words were inexplicably skilled.
Qi Yunyi watched for a while, then slipped away from Gao Lan and walked over to Xu Zhiran, poking his shoulder. "Do you have any impression of him?"
Xu Zhiran shook his head.
Even if he hadn't lost his memory, he didn't have a deep impression of Xu Cheng. Instead, he was deeply impressed by Shangguan Yan, who took him away, and treated Shangguan Yan as a family member.
This is also because Shangguan Yan is simple, treats people sincerely, and can easily get along with children.
As for Xu Zhiqing, she was still breastfeeding at that time. She ate and slept all day long. How could she possibly remember Xu Cheng?
Therefore, compared to Shangguan Yan, although she had lost her memory, she still had some instincts and felt that Xu Cheng should be someone she knew, and that the relationship between the two should be very close, so she recognized him.
The Xu Zhiran brother and sister had blank expressions on their faces, and no emotion in their hearts.
Relatives?
Don’t know.
Let’s wait and see. We’ll know whether they are relatives or not when the time comes, right?
Xu Sizhu said he was their father, but they had no share of the delicious food and fun things.
But the Xu family is like that, all the good things are given to Xu Baozhu first.
If you think about it this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Xu Sizhu's behavior.
It would be strange if there was nothing wrong with him. For them, the problem was very serious, so serious that neither of them was willing to call Xu Sizhu "Dad".
That's why the Xu family always called him a heartless and ungrateful person.
Xu Zhiran looked indifferent. He still remembered that when he first had memories, Shangguan Yan was wearing a complete set of pearl necklaces, bracelets, rings and other jewelry.
Later, the ring was stolen by Xu Baozhu's mother. After being discovered, in order to destroy the evidence, the mother ground the pearls on it into pearl powder.
As for the necklace and bracelet, Shangguan Yan sold them to pay for his tuition, buy stationery, and provide living expenses for the mother and her two children.
The Xu family even had the nerve to call them ungrateful wolves, as if the Xu family had only given the three of them a bite to eat.
It was all thanks to Shangguan Yan, who was like Doraemon and always surprised them by bringing out fruits, vegetables and other food from time to time, that the two of them didn't starve to death.
Now, another person comes to claim to be their father, and he also claims to be their father.
Oh, okay, it’s Qingqing’s father, not his father, that’s even more hateful.
Xu Sizhu just wanted to be their father, but Xu Chengke came to snatch them away.
Now that he's here, he's going to lose even his mother, right?
Xu Zhiran had a cold face and looked at Xu Cheng coldly.
