48 Who Is She? (2/2)
”Ehem, Hana, this is my son, Ming Feng,” Elder Lan introduced. Lan Ming Feng nodded stiffly at her.
Hana coughed. ”Pleasure to meet you Mr. Lan.”
”Just call me Uncle Lan,” he told her gruffly, ”do you mind giving us a minute.”
”Sure, I was just about to leave.” Hana quickly fled back to the dorms. This seemed like family drama that she didn't need to get involved in.
”Who is she?” Lan Ming Feng finally asked.
”A student,” Elder Lan sighed, ”that I hired.”
Lan Ming Feng narrowed his eyes. ”Did you get a DNA test?”
”What are you saying?” Elder Lan frowned.
”Do you think I'm blind?! Her eyes and face! They look just like Xia Ling! Didn't you approach her for that reason?” Lan Ming Feng exclaimed. His hands trembled with emotion. ”She's her daughter isn't she?”
”Actually, we met by chance,” Elder Lan replied, ”And she is too old to be Xia Ling's child. Unless Xia Ling gave birth as a minor.”
He closed his eyes. ”Even so, I raised Xia Ling up myself. With her personality and skills, do you think she can raise up a child that big? Moreover, that girl has a younger sister.”
”Her purple eyes are irrefutable evidence. They are a symbol of our lineage!” Lan Ming Feng argued.
”They're not even the right shade! Just let it go. I told you, Xia Ling is dead!” The old man erupted.
Lan Ming Feng gave him a stony look. ”You may have given up on her, but I haven't! Xia Ling is my sister. Even if I have to search until I'm one step into the grave, I will find her!! Even if its her dead body!”
He turned around. ”Remember to come back soon or I'll drag you back.”
”You brat! Are you trying to anger me to death!” Elder Lan closed his eyes. Xia Ling's disappearance was a scar for their entire family. Over the years, he had given up on this daughter that disappeared.
This eldest son of his always clashed against his will when it came to his little sister. But over the years, he had already steeled his heart. Elder Lan shut his eyes.
Xia Ling, will you resent me for giving up on you?
