As Grandma Song spoke, there was an outcry from those watching.
The janitor, for his part, froze in disbelief.
The curtain was lifted again and Song Wangyue helped Xu Qingyuan down.
“Uncle Xu.”
Xu Qingyuan shouted warmly.
Uncle Xu’s eyes widened for a moment, “Miss Sun, it’s really Miss Sun!”
With those words, he turned and ran towards the house, shouting as he did so, “Old Sir, Eldest Sir, Eldest Madam, Miss Sun is back! Miss Sun is back!”
Snap!
Clearly hearing his shout, the tealight in Mr. Big’s hand fell to the ground, and he turned his head to look at the panicked Huo, shaking his lips as he asked, “What did he, he, he say?”
Huo had been on tenterhooks and hadn’t slept much in the past few days, so she was already in low spirits.
Mr. Big got up and headed out, his steps were quick, and just as he reached the door, he saw Meng stumbling out of the main courtyard, supported by Sister Wu.
He took a step back for some reason, and watched in awe as Meng headed for the door.
“Are you sure it was Wan’er?”
The old gentleman also came out of his courtyard, asking Uncle Xu as he walked.
Uncle Xu nodded happily, “It’s Miss Sun, there’s no mistaking it, old man, take your time, take your time!”
At the entrance of the house, people were gathered around three layers of people, Xu Qingwan, the eldest Miss of the Xu family, had been missing for so many years without any news, but now she had suddenly returned, how could people not be shocked?
“Wan’er, Wan’er!”
Meng’s weak and urgent voice came out from inside the door of the residence, the onlookers immediately looked over, Xu couldn’t help but take a few steps forward and knelt down towards Meng, “Mother!”
“My Wan’er!”
Meng had long been in tears and stumbled out of the house, wrapping Xu in her arms and bawling without any concern for her image, “Wan’er, my Wan’er, you’ve finally come back to see mother, mother missed you so much.”
The crowd followed, their eyes red.
Old Mr. Xu also came out of the room, his voice trembling as he shouted, “Wan’er?”
Xu looked up.
Seeing her face, the old gentleman burst into tears.
Grandma Song also followed suit and dropped her tears, but did not forget what Song Wan Yue had instructed her to do, wiped her tears and raised her voice, “This daughter-in-law of mine hurt her head back then and lost her memory, she did not remember anything until the beginning of the year, when she suddenly had a headache, so we asked a doctor to treat her, and only then did she remember who she was.”
When she said this, there was another outcry from the onlookers.
When Xu Qingwan disappeared, people in the capital had all kinds of speculations, but no one had guessed that she had lost her memory, no wonder she had not heard from him for so many years.
“Old man.”
“Grand great grandfather.”
Two voices rang out at the same time.
The old gentleman looked at them, “You, you ……”
Song Si curtsied, “Sorry old sir, we didn’t let Eldest Aunt come back immediately after she regained her memory, not for personal reasons, but because we wanted to know how she had her accident back then. Please don’t blame old sir.”
“Yes, maternal great-grandfather, my mother was the most pampered young lady of the Xu House back then, so it was reasonably impossible for her to have a grudge against someone, but she did hurt her head and lost her memory, so we had to be a bit more careful.”
“Don’t worry ……”, the old man looked serious, “If anyone dares to harm my granddaughter, I will definitely not spare her lightly!”
“Many thanks to maternal great-grandfather.”
Song Wan Yue looked towards the door and didn’t see the figure of the eldest gentleman, her eyes flashed and she asked suspiciously, “Is my maternal grandfather not in the house today? How come I don’t see him coming out?”
It was only then that the crowd saw that there was no figure of the Great Gentleman, and they instantly murmured.
Everyone knew that after Xu Qingwan’s disappearance, Mr. Big had married his ordinary wife and left his first wife out in the cold, but Xu Qingwan was his daughter, and he didn’t come out even though he was missing for so many years, could it be that he didn’t want to acknowledge this daughter?
The old gentleman naturally heard the people’s discussion, his face was not very good, he said, “Don’t mind him, all come in quickly.”
……
Within half an hour, the news of Xu Qingwan’s return spread throughout the capital, and for a while, people were speculating about who had actually hurt her back then.
……
“Old, old master ……”
Huo’s face was white and her six minds were lost, lest Xu Qingwan would come over with someone in the next moment.
Mr. Big had calmed down, “Don’t panic, I have everything.”
Huo could not calm down, she grabbed Mr. Big’s hand on the table, her teeth chattering, “Master, either, or ……”
She wanted to say hide out, but the capital was so big, she would be found wherever she hid.
Mr. Big gently patted her hand, “Don’t worry, it’s okay.”
……
The main courtyard.
Although Meng had seen Xu early in the morning, she was still in tears when she saw her again today; she had no idea how much her Wan’er had suffered over the years.
Xu took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, “Mother, Yue’er has said that crying is not good for your health.”
“I won’t cry, I won’t cry.”
Even with these words, Meng’s tears continued to flow out.
“O in-laws’ mother ……”
Seeing that Xu could not persuade her, Grandma Song opened her mouth, “You have really raised a good daughter, if it wasn’t for my daughter-in-law who has been running the show both inside and out all these years, our family would not have had such a good time.”
Only then did Meng stop crying, and with red eyes she looked at Grandma Song, dressed in fine cotton, with her hair neatly combed, she looked like a sharp person. She got up and blessed herself towards her, “Thank you for taking care of Wan’er all these years.”
Not expecting her to act in such a way, Grandma Song was startled and hurriedly stood up to help her, “My in-laws’ mother, you’ve flattered me, it’s my turn to bow to you.”
Meng was grateful to her family from the bottom of her heart; if they hadn’t taken in Wan’er and taken her in, there was no telling what would have happened to her.
“What did my in-laws mother say? It is I who should be grateful for taking in Wan’er.”
When she said “in-laws’ mother”, the heart she had been carrying instantly returned to its original position, and she became happier and happier, and without being asked by Meng, she told her a little bit of what Xu had done in the house over the years.
The flower room.
Song Si and Song Wan Yue sat with the old man.
Seeing the time pass little by little and still no sign of Mr. Big, the old gentleman’s face was getting ugly and he instructed Xu Liang, “Go and see if he is at home.”
It was a long time before Mr. Big came over with him, and as soon as he stepped into the flower room, the tealight in Mr. Big’s hand smashed over.
The old man was so shocked that he dodged, and the tealight hit him right on the forehead, and instantly crimson blood flowed down his forehead.
“Kneel down!”
Second Sir and Second Madam had just walked into the courtyard just in time to see this scene, and both of them stopped in their tracks.
The First Gentleman knelt down.
The old gentleman spoke in a deep voice, “I ask you, was it you and Huo who did the disappearance of Wan’er back then?”
