Not only He Ziqin, but also everyone in the hall was a little surprised when they saw Chu Xilian.
Because of that incident back then, everyone knew that the Chu and He families were not very harmonious. Although they were fine on the surface, they disliked each other privately.
Especially the heads of the two families, He Ziqin and Chu Xilian, were incompatible with each other. They rarely interacted with each other on weekdays, let alone such birthday banquets, so Chu Xilian appeared at this time.
At the banquet, it is inevitable that people will be surprised.
"Why, can't I come to congratulate Mrs. He on her birthday?" Chu Xilian said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, today we are only inviting relatives from our family. We will not entertain outsiders. Please go back!" He Ziqin looked at Chu Xilian and said coldly.
"Ziqin!"
Mr. He scolded He Ziqin in a deep voice, "The visitor is a guest. Since they are here, there is no reason to drive them out. Xi Lian, come and sit here with me!"
"My uncle is still reasonable. I haven't seen you for several years, but you still have white hair and beautiful face. You must be strong and strong!"
Chu Xilian bowed with a smile, then smiled at Mrs. He and said, "Auntie, I wish you a long life and may you live longer than Nanshan Mountain! I learned that your birthday is today, so I have specially prepared a big gift for you.
ah."
"You're welcome, Xi Lian, I'm very happy if you can come." Mrs. He was also a person who had seen the world. Although she guessed that Chu Xi Lian's visitor was not a good person, she still smiled and spoke impeccably.
"Jia Rong, why don't you send the jade Ruyi to the old lady!"
Chu Xilian straightened his body and turned his head to glance at Lin Yu behind him.
Lin Yu was slightly startled, but he didn't expect Chu Xilian to ask him to send him over.
"Go." Chu Yunxi handed the mahogany brocade box to Lin Yu and winked at him.
Lin Yu glanced at Chu Xilian, with a hint of complexity in his eyes. He hesitated, took the brocade box and walked towards Mrs. He.
There was a commotion when everyone saw Lin Yu's face clearly, especially those who were familiar with He Zizhen. They were all surprised. This young man looked so similar to Mr. He when he was young!
When Chu Xilian came in just now, everyone was paying attention to him and did not notice Lin Yu. Now Chu Xilian asked Lin Yu to give Mrs. He a jade wishful gift, which obviously attracted everyone's attention to Lin Yu.
On the body.
He Ziqin and He Ziheng were both shocked when they saw Lin Yu. They also felt that Lin Yu and the second child looked very similar when they were young. They were carved from the same mold. They were stunned for a while, and they were a little unaware.
At a loss.
Not to mention Mr. He and Mrs. He, the two old men looked at Lin Yu with shock on their faces, as if they saw the young He Zizhen slowly walking towards them.
Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Lin Yu's face was as calm as water, and his steps were unhurried and steady. In fact, he had expected this day. After all, the person who looked similar to him was the second master of the He family in the capital.
.
After walking up to Mrs. He, Lin Yu bowed slightly, handed the brocade box to the old lady with both hands, and said firmly, "Grandma, I wish you good luck and everything goes well!"
Mrs. He still had the time to answer the conversation. Her lips trembled slightly and she looked at Lin Yu without blinking. There were faint tears in her eyes. If her beloved grandson was still alive, he should be at this age.
, it should look like this.
"Grandma."
Lin Yu called her gently again, and then placed Yu Ruyi on the table in front of her.
"Jiarong, it's enough that the gifts have been delivered. I won't drink any wine. Let's go."
At this time, Chu Xilian shouted with a smile on his face, feeling very proud in his heart. He was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, very satisfied!
He brought Lin Yu here today because he wanted this effect.
Lin Yu turned around and looked at Chu Xilian, then turned to leave.
"child!"
Mrs. He suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's hand and said in a trembling voice, "My child, how old are you this year? What is your name? Where are your parents from?"
She couldn't help but asked several questions in a series, and a kind of affection thicker than water came to her heart, as if she had regarded Lin Yu in front of her as the grandson she missed day and night.
"I……"
"Mom, why are you asking me this?"
Just as Lin Yu was about to speak, He Ziqin suddenly shouted, "She is from the Chu family and has nothing to do with our family. Let her go!"
The meaning of He Ziqin's words was obviously to point out to everyone that although Lin Yu looked similar to his second brother, he was not from the He family, so everyone should not think too much about it.
"He Bureau, what you said is really not right. Although this child may not be from your He family, you were definitely the same family eight hundred years ago, because his surname is also He."
Chu Xilian said with a smile, his hands behind his back, and a glint in his eyes.
As soon as he said this, the entire hall was in an uproar. This young man also had the surname He! Based on the similarity in appearance, who would believe that he has nothing to do with the second master of the He family?
Although they knew that the only son of the second master of the He family was dead, they did not rule out the possibility of an illegitimate child. It was normal for a person of the second master's level to have three or two women outside.
But Xiao Manru doesn't think so. She knows best what kind of person her husband is. In this life, besides her, her husband will never have another woman!
So this child can never be her and He Zizhen’s flesh and blood!
However, she really couldn't figure out why this child looked so similar to her husband, so that after seeing He Jiarong, she couldn't help but think of her son who had died nearly twenty years ago.
After hearing that Lin Yu's surname was He, Mrs. He's eyes flashed with light, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart. She couldn't help but add some strength to her hold on Lin Yu's hand, and said hurriedly, "My child, don't listen to them, tell me quickly."
Grandma, what’s your name?”
For so many years, she was the only one in the entire He family who didn't believe that her grandson was dead. To be more precise, she didn't want to believe it.
"Grandma, my name is He Jiarong. I am from Qinghai. I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I was later adopted." Lin Yu answered truthfully. Looking at the love in Mrs. He's eyes, his heart felt extremely soft for an instant.
When I was very young, my grandma had the same look when she looked at me. Unfortunately, my grandma had passed away a long time ago.
Qinghai?
No father or mother?
After hearing these two words, Mrs. He's body trembled suddenly, her hands trembled, she held Lin Yu's hand and walked up again, for fear that Lin Yu would disappear out of thin air in front of her eyes accidentally.
She hasn’t been to Qinghai in twenty years, twenty years! But she has never forgotten this place!
Even though she and her husband have many old friends in Qinghai, she has never set foot there since her grandson's death because even hearing the word "Qinghai" makes her heartbroken.
"Jinrong, you are Jinrong!"
Mrs. He burst into tears. This child must be Jin Rong, must be her grandson, otherwise everything would not be such a coincidence! Even the name is only one word different!
He Jinrong?!
Lin Yu couldn't help but be surprised. The name of the second young master of the He family was only one character different from that of He Jiarong! Is it really just a coincidence?!
"Mom! He is not Jinrong, Jinrong has been dead long ago!"
He Ziqin became anxious when he saw this scene and shouted to his mother.
"No, he is Jinrong, my Jinrong!"
Mrs. He pulled Lin Yu towards her, then held Lin Yu with one hand, and touched Lin Yu's face with a trembling hand.
Lin Yu bowed and looked at the old man with tears streaming down his face. His heart was extremely sad. It seemed that the old man loved his second grandson very much.
"Old lady, stop being so ridiculous, you're scaring other people's children!" He Qingwu quickly stretched out his hand to hold his wife, looking at Lin Yu with very complicated eyes and mixed feelings in his heart.
The old woman missed her grandson, so why didn't he miss her, but the grandson had died twenty years ago!
"Yes, Mom, you scared people."
He Ziqin walked over quickly, grabbed Lin Yu's arm and pulled Lin Yu away. Then he took out a tissue, knelt in front of his mother and wiped his mother's tears, and said gently, "Mom, we all know that you miss Jinrong.
But Jin Rong is dead, you can’t deceive yourself."
Lin Yu frowned and looked at He Ziqin on the ground, rubbed his arm that was sore from being pulled by him, and felt quite unhappy. Not to mention, Director He's hands were really strong, and he seemed to have a lot of strength.
"Chief Chu, please take your people and leave quickly. Today is a festive day for us. It's a good thing for you. I don't know where I got a wild child and it made my mother cry!"
At this time, Mrs. He's eldest daughter also quickly stood up and scolded Chu Xilian coldly, glanced at Lin Yu with a look of disgust, then walked to her mother and softly comforted her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make the old lady unhappy, but I also had good intentions. This child is from Qinghai. He has no father or mother. He was adopted twenty years ago. His surname is also He, and he is the same as the second uncle.
The resemblance is so great. It just so happens that the second master’s son died twenty years ago. How can there be such a coincidence in the world?”
Chu Xilian said with a smile, "The most important thing is that the child who died that year had his face and skin soaked. Who knows if he was the second young master?! Maybe someone found him as a scapegoat..."
"shut up!"
He Ziqin stood up suddenly and interrupted Chu Xilian with an angry voice. Veins popped up on his forehead. He pointed at Chu Xilian and said angrily, "Chu Xilian, if you dare to talk nonsense here again and irritate my mother, don't blame me for treating you badly."
polite!"
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said it so directly, but what I said is indeed the truth. If the old lady and the old man want us to leave, then I will take this child away immediately and make sure that he never comes back again."
I won’t step foot into He’s house!”
After Chu Xilian finished speaking, he turned to look at Mr. He and Mrs. He, waiting for their answers with a smile.
"Grandpa, let them get out of here!"
At this time, He Ziqin's eldest daughter, He Yanyan, suddenly said coldly, "My second brother is dead. The forensic doctors at that time examined the autopsy. People cannot be resurrected after death. You must accept this reality. He does not look like our family members."
They are all from our family! There are so many people who look alike in the world. If you let him run amok here, you don’t know how many wild cats and dogs will come over to the He family to recognize their ancestors!
"
After saying that, she looked at Lin Yu with a cold face, as if looking at a beggar, with disgust on her face.
