He did want to verify it again.
Madam Xu immediately said, âAlright, wait a moment. Iâll go get your fatherâs⦠No, Iâll call my husband and ask him to come too.â
She was so excited that she staggered a few times before standing up and calling Xu Jingye.
Xu Jingye agreed. Although he knew that there was not much hope, he also knew that this was his wifeâs obsession. He said that he would arrive soon.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Qiao Dongliang.
He had a pair of innocent eyes that were slightly drooping. They were very similar to his wifeâs when she was young.
Xu Jingye immediately wavered and said, âYoung man, please come with us to the hospital.â
The four of them went to the hospital.
Xu Jingye was willing to spend money, so they didnât need to wait for a slot with the other people. They could directly take the test, and the results would be out soon.
However, the wait was still long.
Compared to Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang, Xu Jingye and Madam Xu were obviously distracted. They paced back and forth in the hospital. It was unknown what they were nervous about.
When the doctor came out with the report, Madam Xu was the first to rush forward and take it.
She was already familiar with the process. She flipped straight to the back and found the results that were written in bold black words. When she saw the words, her mind went blank. She stood rooted to the ground.
Xu Jingye also saw the results. He couldnât believe it and was deeply glad.
The corners of his lips became even drier. He asked in a low voice, âWhatâs the result?â
âHeâs our son.â Madam Xu finally burst into tears.
Qiao Dongliangâs limbs were stiff as he was held by her. He could feel her cries of surprise and pain in his ears.
Qiao Weiyang quietly left the corridor.
She took a photo of them and sent it to Su Zhuoqian.
Su Zhuoqian immediately replied: [They finally found out?]
[Yes. As soon as Madam Xu saw Dongliang, she lost control. She wanted to go for a test.]
[A motherâs intuition is always right.]
[The results are out. The family of three has reunited. They might have a lot to say.]
[Xu Jingye and Madam Xu have good character and a good reputation. Itâll be better for him to go back to them than to stay in the Qiao family.]
Qiao Weiyang agreed with him. In the past, it was fine if Old Master Qiao was in charge of the Qiao family. Now that Grandpa had passed away, the Qiao family would quickly be in a foul state. If Qiao Dongliang stayed in the Qiao family, he would only have endless worries.
After chatting with Su Zhuoqian for a while, Xu Jingye brought the mother and son out.
Initially, Xu Jingye did not have any hope when he came here. At this moment, his eyes could not help but turn red. He wanted to get closer to his son, but he was afraid that Qiao Dongliang would feel uncomfortable. He did not know how to treat his son.
âSon, shall we go home for dinner tonight?â Madam Xu invited.
âI-I still have classâ¦â Qiao Dongliang did not know how to get along with them.
Madam Xu was very disappointed, and so was Xu Jingye.
Qiao Dongliang wanted to comfort them, but he did not know what to say.
Qiao Weiyang walked forward and said, âMadam Xu, Dongliang does have class at night. Why donât we change it to the weekend?â
âAlright, alright.â Madam Xu immediately agreed.
âIn addition, we donât know what happened back then. Our family doesnât know about this either. Therefore, Dongliang definitely wonât return to the Xu family for the time being.â
Madam Xu immediately nodded. âI understand. The Qiao family has raised my son for so many years. Iâll definitely visit them to thank them.â
Xu Jingye, on the other hand, was a little worried. The Qiao family might not want this gratitude. Did they know Qiao Dongliangâs background or did they not mind? If they snatched the son the Qiao family had raised without knowing anything, this matter would not be so easy.
However, Xu Jingye could not say these words out loud as that would hurt his wifeâs feelings.
âThen weâll leave first,â Qiao Weiyang said.
âGoodbye,â Qiao Dongliang said in a low voice.
Madam Xu watched him leave and took a few steps forward to follow him. In the end, she could not follow him directly, so she could only let him leave.
âAlright, let him get used to this identity first,â Xu Jingye advised. âHubby, when do you think heâll be willing to come back and live with us?â
âHeâs a college student.â
Madam Xu was a little disappointed. Yes, her son was already a university student. After so many years without companionship, he was already studying in university.
Studying in university meant that he was outstanding, but it also meant that he was independent and rarely relied on his parents.
She was really sad and could not help but cry again.
Xu Jingye kept comforting her to make her feel better.
After Old Master Qiao passed away, the assets were quickly divided according to the will.
Although Qiao Jierouâs child was gone, Old Madam Qiao did ask her to return the money that belonged to the child and still let her have it.
The rest of the assets were more or less divided according to the will.
Qiao Weiyang also got her share.
After receiving his share, Qiao Dongliang hesitated for a long time and wondered if he should accept it.
He finally made up his mind to keep it for the time being. He would make a decision after investigating his background.
He packed his things and went to his grandfatherâs room upstairs.
Before he entered, he heard Huang Shumin and Qiao Jierou talking. âThese things werenât written in the will. These calligraphy paintings are very famous.
Jierou, keep them.â
âMom, keep these jewelry,â Qiao Jierou said.
âOkay, and this. Quick, take it downâ¦â
Qiao Dongliang couldnât take it anymore. He pushed open the door and walked in. He saw that they were instructing people to take away the paintings in Grandpaâs room. The drawers were all open, and they had taken out everything they could.
âWhat are you doing?â He looked around the room unhappily.
âDongliang, now that Grandpa is gone, this room has to be vacated. Take a look and see if thereâs anything you like. Take some of the things with you.â
âHow can you do this? Grandpa has just passed away, but you want to occupy his room. Does the family lack available rooms?â
Huang Shumin said, âAlright, youâre a child. You wonât understand. How can we not clean up these things? Weâve also gone to clean up the sanatorium. If thereâs anything you like, you can take a look for yourself and take it.â
Qiao Dongliang could not stop them. He went downstairs angrily and saw Old Madam Qiao. He asked, âGrandma, arenât you going to care about Grandpaâs things?â
âThings are meant to be used. Itâs impossible for people to guard their things for the rest of their lives. Donât always think about unhappy things..â
