After hanging up the phone, Nian Suian decided to ask Gu Junxing about the Qi Family. The caller had introduced themselves as from the Qi Family of Jing City, and if they weren't a notable family, they wouldn't have introduced themselves that way. Nian Suian thought it would be wise to ask Gu Junxing if he knew anything about the Qi Family.
Nian Suian went to find Gu Junxing and played the recording of the call for him.
"Is this Qi Family well-known? Do you know them?"
Gu Junxing nodded, "Not only do I know them, but you definitely do too. They're the Qi Family that often appears in the news. Although there are other Qi families in Jing City, only this one can claim to be the Qi Family of Jing City."
Nian Suian couldn't help but gasp. The Qi Family she knew from the news, of course, but who would have dared to think of that at first?
She still felt it was unreal, "With their status, how could their child go missing? From what they said, they suspect that Yu Chun might be the granddaughter of that Qi Family member."
Gu Junxing furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, suddenly recalling a rumor from before. At the time, he had just passed it off as gossip, but now it seemed more than just a rumor.
"That Qi Family member didn't have their current status back then. They hadn't even been assigned to Jing City yet, serving in a local position. Later, due to certain reasons, the Qi Family went through a period of silence. After the leadership change at the top, the Qi Family rose again and was transferred to Jing City, rising higher year by year in recent times.
Back then, the Qi Family had two sons and one daughter. After returning to Jing City, their youngest daughter didn't come back with them. The Qi Family's explanation was that the child was in poor health and couldn't adapt to the climate of Jing City, so she was being raised in the south. However, there were always rumors that the Qi Family had been secretly searching for someone, suggesting that the daughter wasn't just ill but had gone missing."
Such matters were naturally unknown to the general public. Gu Junxing had heard about them thanks to Qin Wei, whose wife was from the Xu Family, which was in the same circle as the Qi Family.
However, before, this was just something they talked about privately, and he hadn't taken it to heart.
Nian Suian was still astonished. Yu Chun might have such an extraordinary background.
"Then I... I definitely have to tell Yu Chun about this. She's always known she was adopted and probably wondered in her heart what kind of people her parents might be."
"Yes, and the Qi Family wanting you to convey this message must also be out of affection for the child. They could have gone directly to find her themselves."
"Then I'll go find her now. It's Sunday today, and Yu Chun is still at home."
Gu Junxing personally drove Nian Suian over. Upon arrival, Nian Suian called Yu Chun and asked her to come downstairs. Grandma Xin was still at home, and this news was too big and sudden, fearing the elderly might not be able to handle it.
Moreover, discussing it outside always raised concerns about eavesdroppers. After considering it, they decided the car was the safest place.
Yu Chun didn't think much of Nian Suian's call and greeted her grandmother before heading downstairs.
"Sui'an Sister!" Yu Chun cheerfully greeted her. After getting into the car and seeing Gu Junxing, she was momentarily at a loss for how to address him.
"You two talk. I'll be outside," Gu Junxing nodded to Yu Chun and got out of the car, giving them space to talk alone.
"Yu Chun, I came to see you today because there's something important I need to tell you." Nian Suian smiled, afraid her serious tone might scare Yu Chun, "Don't worry, it's not bad news."
"Yu Chun, have you ever thought about finding your biological family?" Nian Suian tried to broach the topic as gently as possible.
"Sui'an Sister, do you have news about my biological family?"
Yu Chun knew Nian Suian wouldn't ask without reason, but she wasn't very excited. Over the years, she had long given up hope.
"When I was little, I thought about it, but as I grew older, I felt like I was abandoned because they didn't want a girl. Such things happen often, right? If that's the case, there's no need to find them."
Seeing Nian Suian's hesitant expression, Yu Chun took the initiative to say, "Sui'an Sister, just tell me directly. I can handle it. And I'm about to turn eighteen, so whether I find my family or not, it doesn't make much difference."
Thinking of the Qi Family's background, Nian Suian couldn't help but say, "Well, the difference is actually quite significant."
"Ah?"
"Yu Chun, the situation is like this..."
Nian Suian recounted what she knew about the Qi Family and played the phone recording for her.
"The girl who claimed to be a talent scout and approached us at the mall last time, she's from the Qi Family. I guess she saw you and thought you looked a lot like someone in her family. Their intention is to do a DNA test with you. What do you think?"
Hearing about the Qi Family's background, Yu Chun was also startled, but she quickly calmed down.
"Sui'an Sister, I agree to do the DNA test."
Nian Suian admired Yu Chun's composure, thinking the girl was truly unflappable.
However, Yu Chun thought to herself that she couldn't possibly be from the Qi Family. It would be better to clarify things with a DNA test sooner rather than later, saving them from constantly worrying about it.
Yu Chun had heard from Grandma Xin that when she was found, she was wrapped in a dirty, tattered blanket and was very thin. Even if the Qi Family had fallen on hard times, such a situation wouldn't have occurred.
Since Yu Chun agreed, Nian Suian decided to contact the other party immediately to discuss the matter.
Before making the call, Nian Suian lowered the car window and told Gu Junxing they were done talking, and he could get back in.
On the phone, the other party said that Old Madam Qi was planning to come to Jinjiang personally, and someone would contact them later.
Aliali: 674aecfcc4f3f33ac49acb42Originally, the Qi Family's intention was to send someone to pick up Yu Chun, but after seeing Yu Chun's photo, Old Madam Qi couldn't sit still and insisted on coming herself.
The old lady couldn't wait for any DNA tests. She said that just by looking at Yu Chun's face, she could tell she was her granddaughter.
Yu Chun provided her contact information to the other party and now waited for the Qi Family to contact her.
Yu Chun seemed completely unaffected by this, "Sui'an Sister, do you want to come up for a visit?"
"No, we should head home. If anything happens, call me. When the Qi Family arrives, I'll accompany you to meet them."
Since they claimed to be from the Qi Family, one couldn't fully trust them. What if it was a scam?
Nian Suian didn't feel safe letting Yu Chun meet them alone and planned to bring a couple of bodyguards along.
On the way home, Nian Suian shared her thoughts with Gu Junxing, who agreed. Although it was a rule-of-law society, one should still be cautious.
As they entered the house, Gu Zhijing was just coming downstairs with a cat in his arms.
"Oh! Another date?"
