Qiao Weiyang stood at the entrance of the Xu familyâs residence and waited for him.
When Madam Xu saw Qiao Weiyang leave, she suddenly remembered that she had prepared a gift for her but forgot about it.
She immediately ran out with the item.
Seeing that Qiao Weiyang had yet to leave, she heaved a sigh of relief.
âWeiyang, I prepared a gift for you, but I actually forgot about it.â
âMadam Xu, thatâs not necessary.â
âNo, it is. Youâve been busy with treating my illness and donât accept consultation fees. You have to accept this small token of appreciation. If you donât accept it, Iâll be really embarrassed.â
Qiao Weiyang had no choice but to accept it. Madam Xu said, âIs no one picking you up today? Iâll get the butler to arrange a car for you.â
âNo need. My brother is coming to pick me up,â Qiao Weiyang said.
She suddenly thought of the matter between Qiao Dongliang and Madam Xu. In the current situation, it was very likely that the two of them would meet. She wondered if something would happen.
As she was thinking, Qiao Dongliangâs car arrived.
He had just gotten his driverâs license and was very proud. He stopped the car and ran straight to Qiao Weiyang after getting out. âSister! My skills are alright, right?â
âNot bad!â Qiao Weiyang smiled.
âThatâs right, thatâs right. My classmates who rode in my car said the same thing.â After saying that, he realized that there was a stranger around. He immediately stood up straight. âThis isâ¦â
Qiao Weiyang said, âLet me introduce you. This is Madam Xu, a friend of mine. Madam Xu, this is my brother, Qiao Dongliang.â
Madam Xu greeted gently, âHello, Dongliang.â
When she saw young boys, she subconsciously looked at their ears. It had almost become a habit.
With one look, she realized something was wrong.
Qiao Weiyang also knew her habit and did not stop her.
âDongliang, whatâs on your earâ¦â Madam Xu was a little surprised. Qiao Dongliang reached out to touch his mole. âOh, Iâve had it since I was young.â
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that in the information Qiao Weiyang had given him previously, his biological motherâs surname was Xu. The person in front of him seemed very similar to the photo he was shown.
He was stunned for a moment. He looked at Madam Xu, who was staring at him intently.
He suddenly felt very uncomfortable facing his biological mother.
He hadnât thought about whether he would come back to acknowledge his biological parents or not. He had not investigated the Qiao familyâs matter yet, but looking at Madam Xuâs eyes, he understood what Qiao Weiyang meant when she said that Madam Xu had spent almost 20 years searching for him.
However, he was not ready yet. He avoided her gaze. âSister, I still have something to do. Letâs leave first.â
âOkay.â Qiao Weiyang nodded. âGoodbye, Madam Xu.â
Madam Xu was in a daze. She watched helplessly as they got into the car before shouting, âDongliang, Dongliangâ¦â
Unfortunately, the car had already driven away, and no one could hear her call.
âIâm sorry. I didnât expect Madam Xu to come out. She came to deliver something to me,â Qiao Weiyang said softly.
âI understand,â Qiao Dongliang said in a low voice. âDoes she know?â
âYou havenât thought about it yet, so I didnât tell her anything. But judging from her expression just now, she might have seen the red mole on your ear⦠She should be suspecting you.â
For a moment, Qiao Dongliang did not say anything. In fact, everyone in the Qiao family treated him very well. In the past, he had no objections to the entire family.
However, after he became sensible and saw how they treated Qiao Weiyang, he slowly realized the ugly appearance of the entire family.
He recalled what Huang Shumin and Qiao Jierou had repeatedly done to himâ¦
Now, his feelings for the Qiao family were very complicated, and his resistance was overwhelming.
He drove in silence.
Qiao Weiyang knew how he felt and did not say anything.
Madam Xu turned around and called Xu Jingye. âHubby, I saw our son! He has a red mole on his ear!â
âOkay, Iâll look into it later,â Xu Jingye said, his tone a little perfunctory.
âItâs true! Hubby!â
âIâll look into it right away!â
Xu Jingye immediately comforted Madam Xu.
It was no wonder that he was perfunctory. Previously, Madam Xu had seen several boys with red moles on their ears. Xu Jingye was also very excited upon hearing the news, but after a few of these encounters and realizing that they were all just coincidences, he gave up hope.
Was he really going to investigate every single boy with a red mole on his ear?
âDad, was it Mom?â Xu Feng walked in and asked.
âYes, itâs nothing serious. Letâs continue with the contract.â
Madam Xu could tell that her husband was being perfunctory. She also knew that this could be a coincidence.
But how could she let go of this coincidence? What if..
She immediately called Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang were sitting in the cafe. Qiao Dongliang had already regained his usual liveliness and was ordering coffee and dessert for Qiao Weiyang.
Just then, her cell phone rang. Qiao Weiyang glanced at the caller ID and then at Qiao Dongliang.
Qiao Dongliang immediately guessed that it was Madam Xu. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He licked his dry lips and said, âSince itâs the truth, Iâve thought it through. Itâs not a good idea to continue running away. You can let her come over.â
Madam Xu did not expect Qiao Weiyang to ask her to go over directly.
She immediately dressed up, afraid that she would leave a bad impression on her son.
When she arrived at the coffee shop, she tidied her hair and makeup again before walking in.
Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang stood up. âMadam Xu.â
âHave a seat, have a seat.â Madam Xuâs smile was so exaggerated that it was unreal.
âMadam Xu, what would you like to drink?â Qiao Weiyang asked.
âIâll have the same drink as Dongliang.â
Qiao Weiyang called the waiter over and ordered a cup of coffee for her.
After bringing the coffee over, Madam Xu probed, âWeiyang, Dongliang, Iâm sure you know about me looking for my lost child, right? Dongliang, if you donât know about it, Iâll tell you.â
âI know. You suspect that Iâm your son, right?â Qiao Dongliang asked.
He was so direct that Madam Xu felt a little embarrassed. The first few times she went to look for the others, they had a lot of opinions about her.
Who would want their son to be suspected of being an outsiderâs child?
âIâm sorry. I shouldnât be speculating, but I reallyâ¦â Madam Xu deliberated over her words, not knowing what to say.
He said, âBring me to the hospital. Weâll do a check-up.â
Madam Xu was stunned. âYou might agree, but will your family agree to it?â
âLetâs just check it. If itâs a match, then itâs a match. If itâs not, then itâs not. I donât need anyoneâs permission.â Qiao Dongliang did not mention that Qiao Weiyang had already done a test previously.
They had to do this kind of thing themselves as it was a matter of credibility..
