"What is my relationship with your granddaughter, Qi Qi?"
Li Mengqi lightly bit her lip and looked at him with burning eyes. A trace of expectation unconsciously flashed through her words.
She had originally thought that they looked so much like each other, with a 90% chance of being twins. Who knew that the results of the investigation weren't the same? However, the report also indicated that they were related by blood, which made her curious.
Ever since she was young, she was an orphan. Now, through DNA testing, she found relatives that were related to her by blood. After the shock, the excitement in her heart began to slowly surge out.
Could Li Mengqi be her elder sister or elder sister?
She hoped that this answer could be found out from her grandfather's mouth.
Although Li Zhao had expected her to test Fan Fan Fan's DNA, he didn't expect her to be able to find Qi Qi's blood for a test. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Knowing that there was no point in hiding it any longer, he coughed lightly and said, "Qi Qi is your cousin. In other words, your mother is a twin!"
"Then are we cousins as well?"
How much she hoped that it was true, and how much she wanted to be siblings with her big brother. If it was true, how wonderful it would be!
Li Mengqi's heart began to grow restless.
"En!"
Li Zhao glanced at her and nodded slightly.
Hearing her grandfather's affirmation, Li Mengqi suddenly felt relieved. But very quickly, she thought of another very important question, and her mood seemed to become even more nervous than before.
"Does Grandpa know who my parents are?"
After Li Mengqi finished speaking, her clear and limpid eyes revealed traces of light.
Ever since she was young, she had always been asking the Mother Principal about her parents. Who were her parents? When will Mom and Dad pick her up? Mom and Dad really don't want her anymore...
Whenever she cried and asked these questions, the kind mother would gently stroke her head and tell her, "Child, mother and father are watching you from the sky. You have to study hard and grow up obediently so that mother and father will like you, understand?"
"Then when I grow up, will they come to pick me up?"
"Yes!" However, if you ask too many questions, Mom and Dad will be unhappy! "
"Alright, Principal's mother, Yan Xi won't ask anymore."
"Good girl!"
When she was young, she was indeed very silly. How could the mother of the dean know who her biological parents were? Thus, after she gradually became sensible, Jiang Yanxi didn't pursue the matter any further. She buried this question that she wanted to know the most in her heart, and after settling down for so many years, it finally came to an end.
And today, she finally found someone to ask. How could she not be nervous and look forward to it?
"Forty years ago, your grandparents were both killed in an accident. All that was left was a pair of twin sisters who were still in their infancy. That is, your mother and Qi Qi's mother …"
Li Mengqi's grandfather, Jiang Yue, was an old comrade-in-arms that Li Zhao had known for many years. When Li Zhao learned of this news, she was shocked and saddened. The first thing she did was to bring the two baby girls over to her side and raise them.
Jiang Yanxi's mother, called Jiang Qing, had a lively and kind personality, and was very smart. At the age of eighteen, she was sent to Harvard University because of her excellent grades. Li Mengqi's mother married Li Zhaozheng's son the same year and gave birth to Li Jianzhong the next year …
After four years at Harvard, Jiang Qing stayed in New York to work. In those first few years, she had a very close relationship with the Li family. Almost every month, there would be a letter exchange.
Gradually, as Jiang Qing worked, the number of letters became fewer and fewer until one day, she mentioned in her letter that she had found a beloved fiancé and was prepared to bring it back to A City for a look.
At that time, the Li family was in deep grief. After the crash, Li Jianzhong's parents were taken away, leaving only the five-year-old Li Jianzhong and the two-month-old Li Mengqi.
It took Li Zhao a long time to recover from the heavy blow of losing a pair of children. It was at this moment that he remembered to contact Jiang Qing. Unfortunately, he could no longer contact her.
It was only six years ago, when he accidentally got the chance to save the six of them, that he was shocked by her face which was almost the same as his granddaughter's. After some investigation, he finally confirmed that she was Jiang Qing's daughter, but unfortunately, Jiang Qing died in childbirth …
After hearing so much from her grandfather, especially after learning that her mother had long since passed away, Li Mengqi's mood instantly fell to the bottom.
She lowered her head and secretly sighed. Only then did she raise her eyes and probingly ask, "Then does grandpa know who my father is?"
Was her father the fiance mentioned in her mother's letter? And who exactly was he?
His mother died in childbirth, but why did he abandon her?
Or perhaps, he was unaware of his own existence from the beginning till the end …
"I tried to investigate, but after so many years, the clues were all cut off, so …"
Li Zhao glanced at Li Mengqi and didn't say anything further. Li Mengqi subconsciously clenched her fists. Even though she had a premonition about this result, at this moment, she felt a dull feeling seeping out from her chest, instantly spreading through her limbs and bones. It was extremely uncomfortable.
The air in the living room suddenly froze. It was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Li Mengqi's eyes were downcast, and she was lost in her thoughts. However, she didn't notice the flash of light in her grandfather's deep eyes.
Deep into the night, Li Mengqi returned to her room, showered, and was wide awake.
She lay on her bed, tossing and turning. After who knows how long, she finally managed to force herself to fall asleep.
The next day was sunny.
The sunlight, reflected through the screen, jumped playfully onto her body and kissed her white skin.
After who knows how long, she suddenly felt an itch on her nose. Li Mengqi reluctantly opened her eyes, and what entered her view was an exceptionally good-looking little face. He was currently smiling so much that his eyes were curved, and he looked just like her.
"Mommy, the sun is already shining on your butt. Are you still not up? Are you really that lazy?"
At this moment, the little shota was lying down beside her. He reached out his hand to pinch her nose, just like a little adult, and childishly scolded her mother.
Li Mengqi's heart tensed up, and almost without thinking, she pulled him into her embrace, held his face, and fiercely kissed him twice. She then pretended to be angry and glared at him, "Is there a little kid who doesn't know how to grow up? I'm your mommy. Be nice to me, huh? "
"Mommy, you're so fierce!"
Little Zheng pouted, feeling wronged. "You're too lazy to let people say that. You're lying to yourself."
"You are quibbling! Who would be so impudent with their mommy, huh? "
[This fellow is getting more and more arrogant. If he doesn't act like a mother, he might ruin his studies in the future. What should I do?]
In the past, she had been an aunt, only responsible for loving him, so she had heartlessly left the responsibility of disciplining him to her grandfather and elder brother. But now, as her status had changed, it was time for her to integrate herself into the role of a parent and take on the responsibility of educating him.
"Sorry, Mommy, I was wrong!"
The little shota immediately bowed his head and sincerely apologized.
In the end, she was still his child, so Li Mengqi's heart quickly softened. She reached out her hand to stroke his head and gently said, "If you admit your wrongs and know how to change, then you're a good child." Tell Mommy, what did you do in the morning? "
He looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost 11 o'clock. If there was no accident, this brat had already been up for four to five hours. Unlike her, sigh, he was right.
Hearing Li Mengqi's very gentle tone, Li Yunfan quickly returned to his usual liveliness, excitedly saying, "I woke up in the morning, and did all the homework for the weekend's two days of vacation. Great Grandfather helped me watch it, and all of you got it right."
"That powerful?" In order to reward you, Mommy will bring you to play! "
For a period of time, she hadn't seen Xu Huihan, so she didn't know how she was doing. Li Mengqi was worried, but she still decided to drive over to A City to take a look.
It just so happened that it was the right time to bring Fan Fan over for the weekend.
After all, he was still a child, and when he heard that he was going to have fun, Li Yunfan was immediately overjoyed. After yelling 'Long live Mommy', he hugged Li Mengqi's face and kissed his several times.
The two of them soon became entangled until a melodious ringtone sounded from their cell phones. Only then did they stop.
Li Mengqi stretched her back and kicked the little shota's butt, ordering, "Go, help Mommy bring the phone that's in her bag."
"As you bid, Queen!"
The little shota immediately crawled out of bed and quickly found the bag that she casually threw on the sofa. He picked up the phone, walked over and handed it to her.
Li Mengqi saw that it was a call from Luo Yuan, and her clear eyes flashed for a second before she answered it.
"Yi'jie, you're actually going to resign? Do you have the heart to abandon me? "Sob, sob, sob, sob …"
He had just returned from the morning and Lucy had told him that Li Mengqi's program would be suspended, and that she was about to be assigned to another anchorman as an assistant. Almost immediately, he was so upset that he was on the verge of tears. It wasn't easy for her to get to the end of the meeting, so she couldn't wait to call Li Mengqi.
"Don't do that. "We're still good friends. If you need anything in the future, you can always call me, hmm?"
Li Mengqi was also reluctant to part with her work, but since everyone had their own path to walk, it was impossible for her to stay by her side all the time.
"Yi'jie, what plans do you have for the future?"
"I haven't decided yet. Let's talk about it later. If you work well, your new boss might be better than me. "
Li Mengqi smiled as she comforted her, but she immediately refuted, "That's impossible! In my heart, no one can compare to you!"
"Ahh, you girl, you're quite stubborn."
Li Mengqi sighed helplessly and heard her say, "Oh right, Yi-jie, I sent you a courier this morning. It seems to have been sent from New York. It just so happens that I'm on vacation in the afternoon. How about I go to City B to look for you and bring it over while I'm at it? "
"Express delivery?"
Li Mengqi frowned. Who else in New York would send her a courier? How strange!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but add, "What kind of express delivery? Is there a sender? "
"It's a light item. I don't know what it is. The sender's column is empty. Maybe you'll know when you see it. However, it was strange. Wasn't the international delivery very strict? "How come you don't even need to fill in the sender's information? That's amazing."
"Hmm, it is indeed quite strange."
Hearing him, Li Mengqi was also puzzled, but she quickly put aside her doubts and said to him, "You don't have to come to City B. In the afternoon, I will bring Fan to City A. I will look for you then. "
"Oh yeah, your son is really coming. That's great. "Then I'll see you in the afternoon, Sister Yi!"
"Un, see you in the afternoon!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Mengqi bit her lips as a bad premonition suddenly flashed through her heart.
Before City B departed, Li Mengqi had called Xu Huoyou first. At this time, Xu Huoyou was slowly walking into the district with a big bag of fruits in his hand.
Hearing her cell phone ring, she immediately picked it up when she saw it was Li Mengqi. Before she could open her mouth, she heard Li Mengqi's sweet voice slowly come over from the radio wave — —
"Xiao Wen, I'm really sorry. I've been so busy these days that I didn't call you. Are you all right? "Are you out of the hospital?"
Xu Hui Wei hastily shook her head, and said with a smile: "Yi'jie, I'm fine, don't be so nervous. The doctor said the baby was stable and that I was discharged yesterday and had already returned to the neighborhood where I used to live. "
"Oh, that's good!"
Seeing that she was fine, Li Mengqi finally let out a sigh of relief, "I'll visit you in the afternoon, are you home?"
"En, he's here!"
Upon hearing that she was coming, Xu Huoyou was especially happy and immediately beamed with joy.
The noon sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches of the trees and onto her face, giving her an enchanting halo. The man not far away had eyes that were holy and radiant.
The man put his hands in his pockets and looked deeply at her, but he did not go over to her. Instead, he watched her smiling as she talked on the phone, almost greedily etching her smile into his mind.
After about five minutes, Xu Huohuan hung up. He was about to put the phone back into his bag and continue walking. Who knew that the nylon bag in his hand would suddenly split open and fresh oranges fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Xu Hui Wai frowned a bit gloomily. Just as she was about to squat down and pick up Cheng, a vigorous figure appeared in front of him. Almost two and a half times, she picked up all Cheng and brought them in front of her.
Upon seeing Bank of Shen, Xu Hui's pretty face darkened. She did not even want Cheng anymore and turned to leave.
"I'm just here to see you. I have no other intentions," he explained in a flustered manner. Slow down and be careful of the child! "
Seeing how fast she was moving, he felt as if his heart was hanging in his throat.
Xu Hui Wei still ignored him, and didn't even give him a hint of a look.
He wanted to touch his nose, but unfortunately, he was holding several large oranges in his hands. He could only sigh in his heart, and decided not to say anything further as he followed behind her.
After today, he really was going to Africa.
Qi Junhao didn't know what was going on, but he had been sent to Africa. In the beginning, of course, he had disobeyed orders, which was why he had stayed behind for so many days. However, there was a problem with the mines over there. He had to go, so before he left, he just wanted to come over and see her.
The two of them finally reached her floor. Seeing her walk up the stairs, Minister Shen was about to follow along when Xu Hui Wei suddenly turned around and glared at him coldly. "How long are you still bothering me?"
"I'll help you send Cheng up. We'll leave soon!"
Actually, Shen Qian really wanted to say, "I'll be troubling you for the rest of my life." Unfortunately, at this moment, he didn't dare to do so!
The young master Shen, who had always been an expert in the art of love, had now truly met with a tough target. However, he was willing to do so.
"No need, it's dirty. I don't want it!"
Xu Hui Wai ruthlessly rejected him, and then without even turning her head back, she went upstairs.
He had touched Cheng Zi before, so it was dirty, right?
Sigh, everything was a sin created by him, but he truly wanted to make up for it. Why was it that the Heavens did not even give him a single chance?
Around 4 PM in the afternoon, Li Mengqi finally drove to Xu Huohuan's district.
"Mommy, you said you want to meet beautiful auntie later?"
Humans all liked beautiful things. Even children were no exception.
When Li Yunfan heard Mommy say that she would bring him to see the beautiful auntie in the afternoon, his attitude turned positive.
"Heh, look at your excited little appearance."
After turning off the engine, Li Mengqi smiled and scratched his nose, then unbuckled his seat belt, "Get out, I'll take you upstairs."
"Great!" Mommy, remember to take something! "
"I know!"
On the way here, she had taken a detour to buy a lot of supplements for Xu Huohuan. Hehe, this brat was really meticulous. He knew how to warn her. He really deserved to be her son!
The mother and son duo quickly got off the car and carried their bags and things upstairs.
Seeing the legendary beautiful aunt, the little shota's eyes immediately lit up. Wow, Mommy really didn't lie to him. Auntie really was a beauty, but in his heart, Mommy was even more beautiful!
Although she thought this way, the little shota's smile was still exceptionally sweet. He greeted Xu Huihan very politely, "Hello Auntie, I'm Li Yunfan. I'm five and a half years old this year!"
"Hehe, Yi jie, Fan Fan really looks like Li sir. Of course, he also looks like Auntie."
Almost at the very first glance she saw Fan Xian, Xu Hui felt especially kindly disposed towards him. She knew that Li Jianzhong had a son, but had never had the chance to meet him. Now, his wish had been fulfilled.
"Heh —"
Li Mengqi smiled, but didn't say anything. Fan Xian, on the other hand, couldn't help but interject, "Auntie, there's a saying that nephew looks like an uncle, so it's normal that uncle and I look like one another."
"Uncle?"
Xu Hui felt stunned, and was unable to react.
"Well, my uncle is what you said, Lee Sir!"
Afraid that she wouldn't understand, the little shota patiently explained everything to her.
"If Li Si r is your uncle, then wouldn't your mother be —"
Only then did Xu Hui Wei react. She turned around in shock and looked at Li Mengqi, only to see her nodding to him. She suddenly felt the wind was in disarray, "Yi'jie, what's going on? You have such a big son? "The child's father …"
"Isn't that incredible?"
Li Mengqi chuckled, with Li Yunfan present, she could not explain too much, so she casually replied, "I only found out recently. I'll tell you when I have time. We are the same now! "
"Okay, then let's work hard together!"
Seeing her clear and limpid eyes flash with a hint of worry, Xu Huihuan instantly understood and did not continue asking.
"Alright, everyone, do your best!"
The words of the lord were a bit incomprehensible to the little shota. However, when he saw that Li Mengqi was cheering for him, he also very actively participated in it, which made Li Mengqi and Xu Huohuan laugh on the spot.
Xu Hui Wei subconsciously touched her stomach, incomparably looking forward to his own child being able to be like Fan Fan, so lively and moving. As for his child's father —
She suddenly thought of Minister Shen Qian's handsome and pressing face. Her heart suddenly turned complicated!
Not long after, the young man scurried over from the next room, holding a folder in his hand. It was the delivery mentioned on the phone.
Li Mengqi took it and looked it over carefully. It turned out that there was no sender, as the young man had said.
What could it be?
Curious, Li Mengqi couldn't wait to open the document. She pulled it out and saw that it was a CD-ROM.
