When the duo went over, the Old Madam was sitting quietly on a bench by the door, looking up at the stars in the sky.
Jun Shiyan looked at her and called out gently. “Old Madam.”
The old lady turned around and looked at him warily. “What’s the matter?”
Ling Sheng’s heart sank. The old lady looked at her as though she was a stranger, which meant that she did not remember.
Indeed, the old lady could not remember what she had just done or said. After chatting with them for a while, she looked up at the sky again.
Ling Sheng looked at Jun Shiyan. Could there be a problem with the original host’s memory? Was there a problem with the original host’s and the Third Master’s memories? Could they not remember?
Jun Shiyan held her hand gently. The young lady was usually very calm. She had overreacted to this matter. Could it be because of the food? In order to reassure her, he comforted her gently. “Sheng Sheng, there are many coincidences in the world. The taste of the dishes is the same, but it doesn’t mean anything. Didn’t the boss say that he developed the secret recipe himself?”
“Yes.” Ling Sheng’s voice was a little dull, and her emotions were complicated. She wanted to find out the answer, but what she saw was like a bottomless black hole that made her panic and feel afraid.
She wanted to tell him about the annoyance and fear in her heart, but she did not know where to start or how to explain this.
The old lady did not remember anything, so Jun Shiyan went to find the boss and lady boss again. The lady boss was very sure that she had not seen them before. The menu mentioned by her mother-in-law had been improved by her husband.
The couple apologized sincerely to them again and told them not to take it to heart. After all, the words of an old woman with dementia could not be taken seriously. She would often enter the restaurant to talk to guests when they were not paying attention. After doing that, she could not remember what she had said. Her memory was muddled due to her illness, and sometimes she would not even recognize the couple.
“I’ll get Xu Xi to investigate this.” Jun Shiyan grabbed her hand and looked at the restaurant in the night through the car window, his eyes full of confusion.
If what the Old Madam had said was really true, he would be overjoyed if Sheng Sheng had come here with him when she had been pregnant three years ago.
However, he was sure that he had not known her before this. The two of them had still been living in different corners of the world at the time. They had been parallel lines that had not crossed each other.
“Yes.” Ling Sheng also knew that it would be ridiculous to verify an old woman’s words.
However, when a person had said that and two more people had agreed, one could not help but doubt the rationality of this matter.
Besides, the signature dish that the restaurant had improved was exactly the same as the secret recipe she had learned at home. She could forcefully understand that this was a coincidence that had occurred in a parallel space, but this kind of thing was too strange.
In the end, Ling Sheng told him about the old couple she had met at home.
Jun Shiyan watched Ling Sheng enter the hotel and was notified when she reached her room. Then, he looked at Xu Xi, who was in the driver’s seat, with a deep gaze. “Fly back to China immediately.”
Xu Xi said, “As you wish, Third Master.”
“I’ll go and find the old couple Sheng Sheng told me about and ask them about the situation. I’ll investigate their relationship with the restaurant owner.” Jun Shiyan’s eyes were deep. Perhaps someone wanted to cause him and Sheng Sheng a problem and had deliberately created a lie. After all, he had made too many enemies along the way. He could not ignore this possibility.
Xu Xi said, “Okay.”
“Also…” Jun Shiyan looked in the direction of the hotel and said in a low voice, “Perform a paternity test on me and Xiaoqi.”
