Chapter 387: You Are My Aunt
“Please come in. My mother is also waiting for you.”
Su Xiaolu opened the door and invited Qi Xingzhi in.
Before closing the door, Su Xiaolu saw Qi Xingfeng secretly looking over. As if afraid that she would see him, he took a few glances and quickly shrank back.
Su Xiaolu smiled.
After Qi Xingzhi entered the courtyard, he smiled and greeted Su Chong, “Hello, Brother Su.”
He dared to test Su Hua in front of him and dared to call him cousin. However, he did not dare to do so in front of Su Chong today. He could not mess around on this day.
Su Chong said calmly, “Let’s go in and talk.”
Qi Xingzhi nodded and followed Su Chong in. He looked at Su Xiaolu beside him and smiled at her, thinking that she looked cuter the more he looked at her.
After entering the main room, Qi Xingzhi saw Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang sitting in the main room. He suppressed the shock in his heart, then cupped his hands and bowed. He said seriously, “Qi Xingzhi greets Aunt and Uncle.”
After seeing Madam Zhao, Qi Xingzhi was even more certain that he was right.
He had never seen Su Sanlang before. He thought that according to the looks of Su Hua and Su Chong, they were at most 60% similar, but now that he looked at them, they were clearly 90% similar.
There was no such coincidence in this world, so this was the truth.
Madam Zhao hurriedly got up and reached out to help her up. She said repeatedly, “Get up quickly. These things haven’t been confirmed yet. I can’t afford to be called your aunt.”
Madam Zhao did not know why Qi Xingzhi was so certain. From the first glance, she had a good impression of Qi Xingzhi. This child was scholarly and had a gentle and humble smile. His eyes were also upright. Anyone who saw him would have a good impression of him.
Su Sanlang accompanied Madam Zhao. He did not speak, but his expression was gentle.
Qi Xingzhi stood up and said with a smile, “Aunt, my calculations won’t be wrong. I’ve drawn your appearance too many times in the past few years. From when you were young until now, I’ve never drawn your appearance wrong. It’s just a pity that none of us expected you to go so far away…”
Furongzhou was too far away.
Moreover, there were people in many places who would not leave their hometowns even when they were young and old. Yan Mian’s situation at that time had too many changes and she might even be disfigured. Therefore, it was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack to find her.
It was a miracle that they could meet again.
“Aunt, how did you get so far away?”
After all these years, had she suffered some hardships that prevented her from sending news?
Qi Xingzhi looked at Madam Zhao excitedly and asked. He looked at Su Sanlang and had many questions in his heart. Some words were about to come out of his mouth, but he swallowed them because he looked at Su Sanlang and felt that he did not look like a fierce person.
A person’s physiognomy and gentleness could not be deceived.
Seeing that Qi Xingzhi was so worried about her past, Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Child, actually, I’ve already lost my memories of the past. I don’t know who I am. When I met Sanlang, I only remembered that my surname was Zhao… I’m not sure if I’m your aunt. Perhaps I’m not.”
“Amnesia, no wonder…”
Qi Xingzhi was surprised for a moment, then felt relieved. This made sense why she was still alive, but she had never thought of sending any news in the past twenty years.
She had lost her memory and couldn’t remember who she was at all. How could she contact them?
Qi Xingzhi looked at Madam Zhao, smiled, and said, “Aunt, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. Your appearance can’t be deceived. I have portraits of you that I’ve deduced from the age of 17 to the age of 41. I drew those a long time ago. After I saw you, I knew that I was right. You’re my aunt.”
“Aunt, my great-grandfather, your grandfather, have been waiting for news of you. He’s already more than 70 years old. Last year, he was injured when leading the army and his health is not as good as before. Ever since winter, he has been suffering from minor illnesses and hasn’t recovered yet. Aunt, I came this time to bring you home.”
Qi Xingzhi looked at Madam Zhao with a serious expression. He had not expected Madam Zhao to lose her memory.
Losing her memory meant that she did not remember her family. To her, her former family were just strangers.
Qi Xingzhi was a little nervous. He did not know if Madam Zhao would agree because this was just a stranger’s request to Madam Zhao.
Madam Zhao indeed hesitated. She looked at Qi Xingzhi and thought for a moment before saying, “Child, I might not be your aunt. Let’s take the test first.”
Madam Zhao really wanted to agree to Qi Xingzhi’s request, but her rationality told her to remain calm. What if she wasn’t Yan Mian in the end?
Qi Xingzhi understood Madam Zhao’s worry. He smiled and said, “Alright, then I’ll invite Aunt over and do a blood test with you.”
If Madam Zhao was Yan Mian and Yan Qingyun was her biological father, their blood would definitely fuse.
Madam Zhao nodded. “Okay.”
This was the safest way.
“Father, mother, we can eat now.”
Su Xiaoling made breakfast and came over to call out.
Madam Zhao smiled gently at Qi Xingzhi and said, “Xingzhi, can I call you that?”
Qi Xingzhi nodded crazily. Of course, he could. The blood test was just further confirmation. In his heart, Madam Zhao was his aunt. There was no need to doubt this.
“Let’s have dinner together.”
Madam Zhao smiled gently.
Qi Xingzhi looked at Su Chong and Su Hua and said in embarrassment, “Then I’ll disturb Aunt and Uncle.”
When they sat down and ate together, Qi Xingzhi saw two unfamiliar faces. Needless to say, he had drawn one of them before. It must be his aunt’s daughter, but the other one didn’t look right. He shouldn’t be his aunt’s son.
Qi Xingzhi subconsciously looked at Su Hua.
Su Hua said, “This is Xiaoling, my third sister. This is Zhou Heng, Xiaoling’s fiancé. You might not have noticed before, but he also participated in those exchanges.”
“I see. Hello, I’m Qi Xingzhi.”
Qi Xingzhi smiled.
It was his third cousin’s fiancé. He should be very familiar with him, but he didn’t seem to have seen Su Chong and Su Hua walking with him at the exchange. Why was that?
Qi Xingzhi had questions, but he could only keep them to himself. These things were not something he could ask now.
Qi Xingzhi looked at the sumptuous food and felt much more at ease.
If she ate well, it meant that her aunt was living a good life.
At the dining table, Madam Zhao picked up some food for Qi Xingzhi and asked about the Qi family with concern.
Qi Xingzhi’s eyes were a little red. He smiled and said, “There aren’t many family members now. The Qi family is a military family, and their descendants have to go to the battlefield.”
