Chapter 316: An unexpected discovery

Grandma Zhuang apologized to Guan Haiyang, but Guan Haiyang could only listen first, and then said with a smile: "Grandma Zhuang, please don't think about this.

If you hadn't asked Senior Brother Chen to come to me, I wouldn't have remembered that such a thing happened more than a month ago!"

Grandma Zhuang sighed and said, "It's a good thing that you have an open mind. You are a blessed child."

Guan Haiyang knew from her expression that the harm Lin Zhuo caused to the old man was still something she could not forget.

She looked too much like Lin Zhuo, and Grandma Zhuang felt a little bit uncomfortable with it.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

While the two were talking, another person came in at the door.

"Senior Brother Chen." Guan Haiyang said hello when he saw the person coming.

Next to Chen Tao is a woman holding a baby. She has a delicate appearance, but is a bit thin.

"This is my wife, Li Dan." Chen Tao put the stewed vegetables in his hand on the table, and then said to Guan Haiyang: "We often come here on weekends to have a meal, and we have a lot of time today, so we brothers and sisters have to have a good chat."

Behind the two of them were an old lady and a energetic old man.

"This is my grandpa and grandma. My grandma is my aunt's sister." Chen Tao introduced them one by one to Guan Haiyang.

In the end, Guan Haiyang found out that the owners of this courtyard were Chen Tao's grandparents, and that Grandma Zhuang was living here on rent.

The more people there are, the less awkward atmosphere will be.

After a while, the second aunt started to prepare dinner.

Upon hearing this, Guan Haiyang also went to the kitchen with Chen Tao to help serve the dishes.

The second aunt is good at craftsmanship. Chen Tao's grandfather Chen Guanglin is in his sixties, but he looks much younger than Grandma Zhuang.

Chen Guanglin was very talkative at the dinner table, but after a while he got to know Guan Haiyang's basics.

Guan Haiyang learned his lesson this time and only said that his parents were in Jiangcheng.

He didn't want to meet anyone so he said that both his parents were dead, which aroused some inexplicable looks.

After the meal, several elderly people were going to rest, and Chen Tao took Guan Haiyang to drink tea in the yard.

"Senior Brother Chen, I have a small request. Do you have any photos of Lin Zhuo at home? I want to see this person."

Chen Tao was silent for a while and then said: "Looking at yourself is almost the same as looking at him. What I remember is that there is an old photo. Wait a moment, I will go to the room to get it for you."

After a while, I saw him walking out holding a tome with a black cover.

"All the old photos of my family are here. Not many people usually see them, so they have all gathered dust."

Guan Haiyang took the photo album and slowly opened it.

The first photo is a group photo. The men are all wearing the same style of Zhongshan suit and a peaked cap on their head, and the woman is wearing an invisible sweater and a small cotton-padded jacket.

Chen Tao pointed to the middle-aged man with the brightest forehead and said, "This is my great-aunt."

His great-aunt is Professor Xu.

At that time, Professor Xu's hairline was slightly higher, but his features were very serious, and he was a handsome middle-aged man.

Slowly flipping through the album, many photos of Aunt Zhuang when she was young were revealed.

When I turned to the last few pages, a young family of three appeared.

"These are my cousin and my cousin. The middle child was their eldest son, and he died later... Because of this, my cousin went crazy for four years."

Chen Tao sighed with emotion.

But Guan Haiyang didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Tao's sighs at this time.

He stared at the man and woman in the photo, Professor Xu's daughter and son-in-law, in a trance.

Guan Haiyang is very confident in his memory, and the faces of this man and woman are not unfamiliar to him at all.

Zhong Shaoyuan is very energetic and more handsome than the middle-aged handsome Professor Xu.

His eyebrows are like sword carvings, and his eyes are as bright as stars. Under the old photos with black and white background, his skin looks particularly fair.

Professor Xu's daughter is not bad looking either. She has a dignified appearance and looks like a lady.

What shocked Guan Haiyang was not how handsome or well-matched the two were.

But after he looked at the faces of Xu Mengyao and Zhong Shaoyuan over and over again, another face gradually emerged in his mind.

Lu returns to the mountain!

Lu Huanshan's appearance is the perfect combination of Xu Mengyao and Zhong Shaoyuan.

Her expression and temperament overlap greatly with those of these two people.

Her eyebrows are exactly the same as Xu Mengyao's, but her eyes are as deep and quiet as Zhong Shaoyuan's.

The bridge of his nose is as high and straight as Zhong Shaoyuan's, but a little more delicate.

Her lips, which are neither thin nor thick, have a slight upward arc, and are very similar to Xu Mengyao, which makes her temperament appear soft and gentle.

He was sure that if Lu Huanshan was placed in this courtyard, Grandma Zhuang and her family would be stunned in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Chen Tao noticed something strange about him and asked.

"Nothing." Guan Haiyang shook his head and continued to flip through the photo album.

Finally, on the last page, he saw himself thirty years ago!

Chen Tao is right, looking at Lin Zhuo is not much different from looking at himself in the mirror.

Except for slightly different hairstyles, at first glance, the two of them are almost identical.

Guan Haiyang observed carefully, but still found differences.

Lin Zhuo's ears are slightly wider, and his lips are also a little thinner.

In addition, his eyes are slightly narrower.

These three subtle differences make Lin Zhuo's overall temperament seem a bit gloomy.

Guan Haiyang is full of sunshine and vitality, and his whole person exudes youthful vitality.

Lin Zhuo is like Hades, the king of Hades, with a majestic aura but a somewhat feminine flavor.

In the photo, Lin Zhuo and Zhong Shaoyuan are standing side by side, looking very intimate.

No one could have imagined that just two years later, the fate of these two people would change dramatically.

After closing the photo album and handing it back to Chen Tao, Guan Haiyang stood up and said goodbye.

Instructing Chen Tao not to disturb the old man, Guan Haiyang walked with him to the entrance of the alley.

After hesitating for a moment, Guan Haiyang said to Chen Tao: "Senior Brother Chen, if you are free, can you come to Huaqing another day?"

Chen Tao was obviously a little surprised by his request.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "I just saw that when you were browsing the photo album, you stayed on the page of the photos of my cousin and cousin for a long time. Is there anything related to them?"

Chen Tao was very keen and quickly thought of Guan Haiyang's brief absence just now.

Guan Haiyang thought about his words: "Senior Brother Chen has to keep this matter secret first, because I am not sure whether the facts are as I suspected.

Because one of my classmates is a girl, and she really looks like Senior Brother Chen’s cousin and uncle!

I don't know much about her family.

She told me that her mother was not very good to her...she almost didn't let her finish high school...

I'm wondering if there's a possibility that her current parents are just her adoptive parents!"

Chen Tao suddenly looked at Guan Haiyang, his body trembling slightly.

He knew very well the pain in the hearts of his aunt and his family over the years.

After the cousin's aunt and uncle lost their son, their only spiritual sustenance was on this daughter whose fate was unknown.

If this thing is true...

He could not imagine the impact it would have on their family.

Guan Haiyang is right, no one can say anything until the matter is investigated clearly.
