Chapter 753: Confirmation
After Liu Chuxue heard him out, she said, "There are many people with birthmarks; how can that prove my father is the person you seek? As for blood type, there are countless people in this world with the same blood type."
She simply wanted to confirm it a third time to avoid a mix-up, for the only one who would be hurt in the end would be Liu's father.
Xiao Laoyezi Xiao stood up, turned sideways to Liu Chuxue, and lifted the hem of his robe. He had clearly prepared for this; the clothes were very loose and pulled up easily with a flick.
Then they saw a triangular birthmark on his side. Afterward, he took a letter from his chest and handed it to Xiao Wanxia to give to Liu Chuxue.
The letter paper was worn, with a fresh layer of paper pasted on the back. It was full of traditional characters. She guessed her way through and read it roughly: "I'm sorry; I don't recognize some of the traditional characters and only grasped the gist."
Xiao Laoyezi Xiao carefully took the letter back and read it softly: "Yude, my husband, seeing these words is like seeing your face..."
When the letter was finished, it turned out this letter was written by his own grandmother, Han Chunyi, to her husband who was away on a mission before the incident. She had thought they would meet soon, but it became her final words.
It clearly stated that the youngest son had been born, described who the child resembled, and specifically mentioned that, like Xiao Laoyezi Xiao, he had a matching triangular birthmark on the right side of his waist. She even teased the two of them about it. The end of the letter was filled with longing for a beautiful future life.
Even Liu Chuxue, a person with a hard heart, could not help but shed tears.
She was heavily pregnant yet still participated in the mission, and in the end, she was betrayed and paid with her life.
Xiao Laoyezi Xiao's voice choked up: "Child, you have also been investigating, haven't you? Do you know Jiang Huiwen?"
Liu Chuxue couldn't help but wonder: When did I slip up?
Thinking of the events of these past few days, she suddenly understood: "Yes, I traced it to her and just learned from her mouth that the Xiao family exists. I hadn't gotten around to looking for them yet, but I didn't expect..."
She didn't continue, but instead looked at Xiao Wanxia.
Xiao Laoyezi Xiao, disregarding everything else, walked straight to Liu Chuxue: "Child, I am Xiao Yude, your biological grandfather. I never gave up looking for your father."
He wanted to reach out and embrace Liu Chuxue, but fearing she might not want it, he lowered his hand again.
Watching Xiao Laoyezi Xiao's movements, Liu Chuxue felt very uncomfortable in her heart: "I think, as you say, you are my biological grandfather, but I cannot make this decision for my father. Please understand."
Though disappointed, Xiao Laoyezi Xiao valued this granddaughter of his even more: "I understand. You are very good."
Xiao Wanxia, fearing the old master would get tired standing, hurriedly helped him sit down and also pulled Liu Chuxue onto the sofa.
In fact, they had already secretly investigated the village, but they still wanted to hear it from Liu Chuxue's own mouth. Afterwards, they began discussing the situations on both sides.
Only then did Liu Chuxue look at Xiao Laoyezi Xiao's second wife, Miao Yiqiu. They had married eight years after her biological grandmother's sacrifice, introduced by others. This woman had only given birth to one daughter after entering the household, who was a full ten years younger than her own father.
Moreover, from the so-called eldest uncle, Xiao Changjiang, she learned that the man her so-called aunt married was related to the Qiu family her own sister married; they were distant relatives from the same clan, beyond the fifth degree of mourning. What an incredible coincidence.
Eldest Uncle Xiao Changjiang married Zhang Haitang and had three sons and one daughter. As they chatted, she learned that Duan Ruirui's partner was actually the youngest son of the eldest uncle's family, Xiao Wanpeng, who worked at the Grain Bureau in the city.
Xiao Wanxia ranked second, with an older brother, Xiao Wancheng, above her. The third child was named Xiao Wanli, who is currently going down to the countryside in Northeast China.
Thinking of her own family's three daughters now, with Liu's mother still carrying another in her belly, while this so-called eldest uncle has three sons and one daughter, she truly feared that after the reunion, her own parents would feel inferior.
