"Xiao Wang, do you think it looks like it?"
Wang Qing was taken aback, then said, "It is similar. It really looks like you when you were young."
There are photos of Madam Helan when she was young in her room. The young girl in the photos looks 90% like Sheng Qian.
They are all beautiful women.
only.
"If that child hadn't been lost back then, she would be about this age by now."
Old Madam Helan narrowed her dark eyes.
Wang Qing was slightly startled: "The old lady suspects that this Miss Sheng is the child who went missing back then, but Xuan City is so far away from that province, is that possible?"
"Ah Zhi is back tonight, have him come over to my place."
"good."
Helan Zhi was the only son of Madam Helan.
He is also the person in charge of the Helan family.
Helan Zhi also has a son who is very famous, but he himself is extremely low-key.
The young men of the capital city don't often mention this person.
Truly capable descendants are all very low-key.
But the Helan family is the most low-key.
If it weren't mentioned, people would almost forget that such a large and prestigious family existed.
Once it's mentioned, no one dares to be unafraid.
The power of the Helan family is indeed quite different from that of others.
Even a prestigious family like the Song family wouldn't dare claim they could rival the Helan family.
Despite the small size of the Helan family now, they have powerful backing, and even their collateral branches are very united.
This is why outsiders are wary of the Helan family.
certainly.
The Long family isn't doing badly either.
But this was only before Long Yunting withdrew. Now that Long Yunting has withdrawn, from an outsider's perspective, the Long family has begun to move towards commercial development.
Without that protective layer, the Long family could be trampled underfoot and fall into decline at any time.
As soon as Helan Zhi got out of the car, Wang Qing came over under the cover of night. "Sir, the old lady wants you to come over."
Although Helan Zhi is already middle-aged, he has not gained weight or become ugly. On the contrary, his charm has increased with age.
Helan Zhi turned to his assistant and said, "Go and take care of that matter first, and deal with any problems later."
The assistant nodded. "Okay."
"Jin hasn't come back yet?"
"I haven't gone home yet. I called home around noon and said I'd be staying out all night and wouldn't be coming home."
As Wang Qing replied, she took the coat from He Lan's hand, then went into the living room on the other side, put it away, and came out.
The courtyard of Old Madam Helan.
Helan Zhi walked into the house and saw that the old lady had already brewed tea and was waiting for him. Helan Zhi walked over and sat down: "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I waited especially for you to come back."
Is something the matter?
He Lanzhi felt strange. In all these years, the old lady had never invited him over to talk so late at night.
Has something happened at home?
wrong.
He is the one in charge of this family and knows the situation best.
"I met a child today," said Madam Helan abruptly.
"Child? You went out?" This is quite unusual.
“I didn’t go out, but a young comrade who looks very much like me when I was young came to my house. When I saw her, I was reminded of that child. If that child had grown up, he would be the same age as her, and his appearance would not be much different.”
At this time, a person who looked similar came to Helan's house, which inevitably aroused Helan Zhi's suspicion.
"Could it be a coincidence?"
“I know what you’re thinking, but there are no such coincidences in the world,” Old Madam Helan frowned. “That child was delivering something for your aunt, so your aunt must have seen the child before. But your aunt doesn’t know what happened back then, let alone that there was a child in the family who went missing.”
"Mom, that child is dead. If Xiangyu hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have developed those kinds of mental problems..." Although he also thought that the child was just lost, not dead.
Old Madam Helan's eyes darkened, and when she saw Sheng Qian, a sliver of hope appeared in her heart.
Now that her son had poured cold water on her, Old Madam Helan was finding it hard to bear.
Seeing his elderly mother's dim eyes, Helan Zhi couldn't bear it.
When that incident happened, the old man in the family died saving his family, and then that child was killed.
The Helan family became even more low-key afterward.
Before marrying into the Helan family, Old Madam Helan did not have an easy time at home. Old Madam Helan and Old Madam Ju were half-sisters.
As the child of a concubine, Madam Helan was bound to suffer some unfair treatment.
Adding to that the appearance of Old Madam Helan, one can only imagine the suffering she endured back then.
The journey from meeting and falling in love to getting married between Madam Helan and Master Helan was quite arduous.
It was also thanks to Madam Helan's talent that she became a legendary woman in the region in her youth.
Otherwise, the Helan family would never allow her to enter their home.
Throughout her life, Madam Helan had experienced too much, and even in her old age, she was still enduring that pain. The death of the child and the death of Master Helan were clearly unrelated to her, yet she took the blame upon herself. Over the years, she lived day and night in self-reproach.
She had finally met someone like this today, which rekindled some hope in her heart.
Helan Zhi regretted saying that. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you really like that child, I will adopt her as my goddaughter when the time is right. She will be your granddaughter in the future."
Old Madam Helan suddenly looked up at Helan Zhi, a hint of joy on her face: "Really!"
Helan nodded.
