Chapter 453: Chapter 452: So you guys didn’t know either

Song Zhiyi looked at Old Mrs. Wu and couldn’t help but glance sideways; why did he feel that this old lady’s reaction was very abnormal!

If the neighborhood relations were really harmonious, their expressions wouldn’t be like this!

Therefore, he stopped paying attention to her continued knocking and simultaneously called out, "Lin Xia! Lin Xia!"

Wang Lan stood by, holding a handful of sunflower seeds, cracking them open and watching the excitement with great interest.

She looked at Old Mrs. Wu, whose expression was gloomy and eyes were flashing non-stop, and a hint of interest crossed her eyes. If what that young man just said were true, she must be regretting to the core, right?!

Just looking at the bearing of these people, they were not ordinary folks, nothing like Miao Xue!

Just the other day they were talking about how their family was not good, but today it’s a complete turnaround!

Speaking of which, Lin Xia and the others were really hiding their light under a bushel.

With such wealthy and influential relatives, what kind of person could Lin Qiu not find? Why must she insist on tying the knot with their Old Wu’s family little brat?

Their Old Wu family had originally hit the jackpot, having already arranged a marriage with Lin Qiu, but they did not cherish the opportunity properly; now they must be dumbfounded!

Lin Qiu, hearing the noise inside the house, hurriedly put down the spatula and let Yu Hongli continue frying as she came out to open the door.

Lin Qiu opened the door to see a handsome stranger, and she asked in surprise, "Who are you looking for?" She glanced outside the gate and saw Old Mrs. Wu and Wu Zhenghong looking back at her with very strange expressions, while Wang Lan, cracking her seeds, had a big grin on her face.

A few more people were coming from the jeep, among them the old man who looked very excited as he stared at her.

What’s going on?

Lin Qiu was somewhat bewildered.

Song Zhiyi looked at Lin Qiu’s appearance, which bore some resemblance to his mother, and warmth immediately overflowed in his eyes.

"Is Lin Xia your sister?" The girl in front of him looked younger than Lin Xia, so he surmised that she must be her younger sister.

"Yes! Who are you?" Lin Qiu’s heart was pounding, these people had an air about them that was not ordinary. She immediately thought of Big Brother Lu’s family, "Ah! Are you Big Brother Lu’s relatives?"

Song Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. Lin Xia’s boyfriend’s surname was Lu?

"No! Is Lin Xia not at home?" Some things, he might not be able to clearly explain to this girl; it would be better to wait for Lin Xia to be there.

Lin Qiu shook her head: "She’s not here!"

Old Mrs. Wu was listening by the side and judging from the tones, it seemed that Lin Qiu didn’t recognize these people at all!

But with the relationship between their two families now in such a state, and with Wang Lan nearby waiting to enjoy the drama, she felt there was nothing she could say even if she wanted to.

Song Zhiyi spoke gently, "Little sister! My grandfather is advanced in years. How about we talk inside your home, if it’s possible?"

The matter between them was a long story, not suitable for discussion at the front door, especially with that nosy old lady standing around with a probing look on her face.

He keenly sensed that his little cousin seemed to have a poor, even problematic relationship with this old lady!

If Lin Qiu were home alone, she definitely wouldn’t dare let them in.

However, now that Yu Hongli was there, she felt a little safer, and for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of kinship towards the old man with tearful eyes.

Moreover, she really couldn’t tolerate Old Mrs. Wu’s probing gaze any longer.

"Alright! Then come in and talk!"

Song Zhiyi smiled at her, "Thank you!"

After that, everyone filed into the house one by one.

However, the three people at the door didn’t leave. Wang Lan purposely asked, "Who exactly are these relatives of Lin Qiu’s family? They look like leaders!"

"Who knows!" Madame Wu looked at the cars that glistened in the sunlight, unable to comprehend when the Lin family had such relatives!

Looking at Lin Qiu, it seemed she knew nothing at all!

At this moment, Madame Wu felt extremely disturbed inside; she couldn’t believe that the Lin family could have such relatives. She desperately hoped it was all a misunderstanding but also understood that the possibility of that was extremely slim!

Wang Lan slapped her hand dramatically, "So you guys didn’t know either! And here I thought you two families were so close that you would know!"

Wu Zhenghong pursed her lips and ignored Wang Lan, instead urging Madame Wu, "Mom! Hurry back and start cooking! Look at the time!" She could already foresee the shock this event, if true, would once again bring to their family.

Madame Wu knew that staying here wouldn’t help them learn who Lin Qiu’s visitors were anytime soon, and it would only make her feel worse, so she followed Wu Zhenghong into the entrance of their own home.

Wang Lan watched the mother and daughter go and spat out a melon seed shell with a "tch" sound. She went back to her shop but her eyes remained fixed on the Lin family home.

It wasn’t long before Lin Xia rode back on her bicycle, and from afar, she saw the two jeeps before she reached home.

When she got to the door, she got off her bike, puzzled. They seemed like out-of-town cars!

Lin Xia wondered if it could be Lu Zheng or his father who had come. She quickly entered the gate, not even bothering to acknowledge Wang Lan calling out to her, as if she hadn’t heard.

Once Lin Xia entered the house, she saw several people in the living room. Except for Song Zhiyi, she recognized none of them.

Yu Hongli was also there. Lin Xia nodded at him.

Lin Qiu was standing to one side, looking dazed. Seeing Lin Xia, she quickly approached as if she had found her pillar of strength, "Sister! They say they’re relatives from our mom’s side... and they said you knew about it before!" She hadn’t yet processed the news she had just heard.

Her mother’s maternal family was supposedly Yu Qiushui’s family, because of what her dad had gone through with Yu Ruiming.

How could it suddenly be that they weren’t related anymore!

They also said her sister knew about it, but her sister had never mentioned anything to her or their brother.

Yu Hongli was equally baffled, his great-aunt’s background turning out to be such a mystery.

Lin Xia reassuringly patted Lin Qiu on the shoulder, "I did know a bit! Xiaoqiu! Don’t panic! Let’s listen to what they have to say!"

The silver-haired elder had stood up the moment Lin Xia entered, watching her with complex eyes, and now he spoke, "Like! She really resembles her!"

The old man appeared to be quite elderly, yet his voice was loud and piercing.

His silver-white hair, his face peppered with age spots, and the eyes that sat slightly sunken in their sockets still sparkled with life.

Lin Xia ignored the old man’s comments and instead looked at Song Zhiyi, "Song Zhiyi, did you bring people here because you’ve found out the truth?"

She had previously considered the possibility of eventually discovering the truth about her mother’s past.

She hadn’t expected that day to come so soon.

Song Zhiyi nodded, "Yes!" He began to explain succinctly, "I went to Gaobei Slope and found the Yu family you told me about and then discovered that the fact your mother was adopted by Yu Fuhai was known to very few people...

Originally your grandparents had temporarily placed your mother with a family from their hometown and when they returned, she was gone...

Over the years, we never gave up searching, but the circumstances back then were very special, and there were basically no clues left..."
