Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 624 - 626 Where Is She Now

"What did you say? You found her?" Gu Hai had just closed a deal and was feeling elated when, out of the blue, he heard his son-in-law Jiang Jing’s words and was momentarily stunned.

Fang Yue had suddenly brought up that daughter, and the thought had filled Gu Hai’s heart with little hope.

The incident had occurred twenty-one years ago. Had the search commenced then, there might have been hope, but now, after so much time had passed, how could it be possible to find the child again?

"Dad, I’ve asked many people to look for her, and in the end, we actually found Mingzhu’s sister," Jiang Jing said, recounting the prearranged story—that the child had been stolen, but discarded by the thieves for being too frail to be kept alive. Fang Yue had searched for help quietly in the police station near Gaoliang County, yet, somehow forgot to search Gaoliang County itself.

After combing through over twenty years’ worth of files, Jiang Jing finally found a police report about someone finding the child.

This matter was something that Jiang Jing couldn’t fabricate a perfect excuse for. Even if he managed to concoct something now, if they ever met the family that had taken in Mingzhu’s sister, the truth would come out in conversation. Rather than risk that, it was better to mix truth with fiction.

As for whether his mother-in-law, Fang Yue, had actually sought help at a neighboring police station, after such a long time, Gu Hai certainly wouldn’t go out of his way to inquire.

After hearing Jiang Jing’s account, Gu Hai remained silent for a long while before asking, "Where is she now?"

"She’s currently living in a village near Gaoliang County, called Shuanghe Village. Her adoptive parents are surnamed Xu, and her name is Xu Nianhua. Last year, she took the college entrance exam and was admitted to Beining University in Ningbei," Jiang Jing explained, and without a change in his demeanor, he praised further, "Dad’s child is outstanding no matter where she is, whether it’s Mingzhu or Xu Nianhua, who grew up in the countryside."

Jiang Jing’s words, undoubtedly, placed a high hat on Gu Hai, filling him with an exceptional sense of satisfaction. freewebnoveℓ.com

"I made a special effort to check. Last year, Xu Nianhua scored full marks in English and was the top student in her county, earning her a place at Beining University," Jiang Jing added. His reasoning was simple: the better Xu Nianhua’s life was, the less resentment and discontent Gu Hai would feel towards Fang Yue.

Sitting nearby, Gu Mingzhu felt extremely uncomfortable hearing Jiang Jing’s praises of her, but at this moment, compared to her own fate, a few praises were tolerable.

She had always been praised as she grew up, and it was for her sake that Jiang Jing was willing to speak well of her.

With that thought, Gu Mingzhu’s heart felt relieved of its knot.

After learning more, Gu Hai became increasingly eager to meet his long-lost daughter. A feeling of regret welled up within him—if only the child had been raised in the Gu Family from the start, her achievements might not be any less remarkable than Mingzhu’s.

"Xiaojing, then let’s go to Gaoliang County the day after tomorrow," Gu Hai said immediately.

Fang Yue, with swollen eyes from crying, said at once, "I’ll go too."

Gu Hai glanced at her. She had been repenting lately, and he said nothing more.

Hope sparked in Fang Yue’s heart as she said, "I’ll soon see my daughter. It’s all my fault, I did wrong."

Fang Yue dabbed her tears with a handkerchief, displaying a look of guilt and self-reproach.

Gu Hai pursed his lips. No matter what Fang Yue’s intentions were at the time, losing the child was a fact. If it weren’t for Mingzhu’s unique blood type, Fang Yue would probably have kept it from him for life. The thought unsettled Gu Hai, causing him to withhold any good graces towards Fang Yue recently.
