“How is this possible?” Chang Hui muttered in disbelief. “There’s no way this is possible! They’ve been searching for their daughter for so many years and still couldn’t find her. And suddenly, they skipped over their daughter and found themselves a granddaughter?! What on earth is going on?”
Bai Jie and Zheng Xiu were also confused, but they didn’t want to discuss this with Chang Hui out here in public. Bai Jie said, “Let’s head home. We need to let our husbands and family know about such a big matter.”
Chang Hui regained her rationality and commented, “Bai Jie, there’s no need to worry. She’s only a granddaughter; she won’t affect anything.”
Bai Jie held back her anger at Chang Hui’s idiocy and replied, “What I mean is, we should let our family know so we can be happy for them! Uncle Gu Bei and Aunt Chen Yao have been looking for their daughter for so many years. Shouldn’t we all celebrate now that they’ve found her and got a granddaughter as well?”
Chang Hui realized she’d spoken too plainly and openly and quickly shut her mouth. Zheng Xiu only wished that she could be anywhere but here at this moment. The more Chang Hui spoke, the deeper the hole she dug herself into.
Yun Liu and Gu Wei returned to the Yun family home with an armful of shopping bags. Tired, Gu Wei sat on the sofa and sighed in relief before saying to Yun Liu, “Guess I’m getting old; my stamina isn’t what it used to be.”
Yun Liu personally brewed the health tea brew Gu Wei always drank and considerately helped Gu Wei massage her shoulders, all without saving a word.
Gu Wei finally noticed her silence; she held Yun Liu’s hand and pulled her close, asking, “Sweetie, what’s wrong? What’s upset you? I have the feeling that you weren’t very happy before your birth family either.”
Yun Liu lowered her eyes and forced a smile as she said, “No, Mom. Of course, I’m not upset. We’ve finally talked things through with my birth family, and now I can be with you, Mom. I can care for both my birth and adoptive families; I can’t be happier.”
However, the more she said this, the more obvious her daughter’s unhappiness was to Gu Wei. “Silly girl,” she chided. “Although I didn’t give birth to you, I raised you! I watched you grow up from a small child to the adult you are today, so don’t think you can lie to me about your feelings. Tell me, who made you unhappy? Was it your brother?”
