555: She must be your mother.
Chief Gu brought his son, daughter, and future son-in-law to the courtyard next door where he lived. Watching them walk into the living room, Chief Gu sat on the sofa and spoke in a serious tone.
"Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
If they had told him earlier, he would have changed into a new military uniform today and tidied himself up properly. He wondered if, in her eyes, he looked very old today.
Chief Gu thought to himself, then looked down at himself.
He wore a Plum Blossom Watch on his wrist, a token of love his wife had given him back then. Although many years had passed, he had never replaced it.
Moreover, he had spent a lot of effort keeping it well maintained.
"Dad, there's no evidence yet proving that Godmother is Mom. How could you expect us to tell you?"
Hearing his daughter say this, Chief Gu's expression became less severe.
He wasn't angry at his daughter, but he definitely needed to discipline those two rotten boys.
"Dad, we haven't investigated clearly yet, and now is not the time for a family reunion."
Gu Yuan explained.
Their father's status was unique. If it turned out that Godmother really was their mother, why had she gone to Hong Kong City all these years... Chief Gu looked at the three of them standing there, heads bowed, accepting the lecture.
"Hmph, you three are certainly united over such a major matter."
Chief Gu was very angry.
Seeing the three of them remain silent and simply endure his reprimand, Chief Gu snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Niannian, bring the documents Uncle Xiao investigated."
Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian immediately handed over the bag of files.
Chief Gu took out the documents from the file bag and examined them carefully.
He first read the written introduction, which stated that Eldest Miss Wang was born in Hong Kong City, studied there since childhood, later went abroad for university, stayed overseas for many years, and returned from abroad more than twenty years ago to take over the Wang Family Company.
Chief Gu saw many photos inside. The first ones were childhood photos. He glanced at them and put them aside.
When he saw the photos of the exquisite Hong Kong Style beauty makeup from more than twenty years ago, Chief Gu's hands trembled.
"She must be your mother. Even if she's dressed like this and changed her hairstyle, she must be."
He looked at the pictures; some were taken by newspapers, and others were photos of Wang Yi attending events. Over the past two decades, her appearance had barely changed.
Seeing her father's excitement, Xiao Niannian asked.
"Dad, are you sure she is Mom?"
Chief Gu nodded, his voice certain.
"She must be your mother." He could not mistake his wife. Even if they hadn't seen each other for over twenty years, he would recognize her instantly upon meeting again.
Hearing his father's certainty, Gu Yuan spoke up.
"Dad, did Auntie Wang lose her memory?"
Chief Gu nodded.
"I will send people to investigate this matter." Chief Gu looked up at his daughter.
"Niannian, spend more time with her these days."
Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.
Zhang Fu was blocked, and she was still very unwilling. She decided to call her Adoptive Father and Older Brothers.
"Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you. Someone is impersonating Sister..."
After hanging up with her parents, Zhang Fu called Eldest Maternal Uncle Zhang.
"Big Brother, someone is impersonating Sister Yun in Yangcheng. She has deceived Niannian and has already met Brother-in-law..."
On the other end of the phone, Eldest Maternal Uncle Zhang was somewhat surprised to hear this.
"Are you telling the truth or lying?"
"Of course it's true! How could I possibly lie to you..."
"Big Brother, we absolutely cannot let that liar succeed, or the Gu Family and the Zhang Family will be in trouble..."
"Where is she from?"
"I heard she's from Hong Kong City. I haven't found out her background..."
On the other end of the phone, Eldest Maternal Uncle Zhang's expression also changed when he heard she was from Hong Kong City.
Currently, formal exchanges between Hong Kong City and this side have not yet resumed. If this were true, it would affect his Sister's Husband's future.
However, he didn't entirely trust Zhang Fu's words.
Perhaps Zhang Fu was hiding something.
A man like his Sister's Husband couldn't be easily fooled, and Niannian wouldn't easily trust someone either.
He needed to make a phone call to ask.
Xiao Niannian returned to the Training Base for practice. Thinking of how her father looked when he saw Godmother, Xiao Niannian smiled.
Although Godmother showed no obvious reaction upon seeing her father, Xiao Niannian felt that Godmother's demeanor when looking at her father was different.
Also, the investigation documents showed that the Wang Family did indeed have an Eldest Miss Wang. If Godmother was her mother, how did she become Eldest Miss Wang?
Only Old Master Wang and Old Madam Wang knew these things.
Would they admit it?
The situation between Hong Kong City and this side was still sensitive. If Mom recovered her identity, could she and Dad openly be together now?
If she hadn't recovered her memory, she wouldn't accept Dad either.
Dad's path to wooing his wife was going to be very long.
Moreover, everything depended on Mom's wishes. But since he had waited so many years already, waiting a few more years wouldn't matter.
Xiao Niannian was in a great mood. When training the Team Members today, the smile on her face was wider than usual.
It was already May. Team Member selection would begin in September.
Xiao Niannian decided to visit the Division Reconnaissance Battalion tomorrow to see how her former Comrades-in-arms were doing.
Watching the Team Members of the First Team train diligently, Xiao Niannian nodded in satisfaction.
At the Guesthouse.
Young Master Wang looked at his sister.
"Sister, you haven't fallen for Chief Gu, have you?"
He had been out handling business earlier. When he returned, he saw his sister sitting in the room staring blankly. He had been inside for several minutes, and she still hadn't spoken.
"Nonsense."
Wang Yi looked at her younger brother, her tone slightly serious.
Hearing his sister's reply, Young Master Wang laughed.
"But, I'm genuinely curious about how much you resemble Chief Gu's wife. Niannian and Gu Yuan both said you look very alike, and Chief Gu even mistook you..."
"Is it really possible for two people in this world to look exactly the same?"
Hearing her brother say this, Wang Yi asked.
"How exactly did I lose my memory twenty-two years ago?"
Hearing this, Young Master Wang looked at his sister in confusion.
"You called, crying miserably, and were sent to the hospital afterward."
"You didn't return to Hong Kong City until more than a year later. When I saw you, you had forgotten me, your little brother..."
Young Master Wang recounted the events of that time.
Wang Yi listened to her brother's words. She had faintly suspected this before and had even investigated, but found nothing. But now, she truly started to doubt.
However, Mom and Dad treated her extremely well.
"Sister, you're not seriously doubting that you might be Niannian's biological mother, are you?"
Young Master Wang suddenly understood everything and looked at his sister in shock.
"You are my biological sister; you couldn't possibly be Niannian's biological mother."
