Chapter 763: The Grandson Protected Like the Apple of Her Eye Since Childhood Turns Out to Be a Fake

Glancing at the people who had already walked far away, Liu Chuxue thought to herself: since she hadn't spoken a word in defense of the Second Branch back then, silence is golden now.

Although the Third Branch didn't target the Second Branch at every turn like the First Branch did, being able to remain a cold bystander every single time hardly makes them good people.

Now they know to come up and curry favor? It's too late.

Besides, once the Xiao family arrives later, their connection with the people of the Old House will be severed entirely; it's not something she can repair just because she wants to. Since they are destined not to be on the same path, there's no need to show any mercy.

What she didn't know was that the Han family over in Haishi was also in chaos: "What did you say?"

"You heard correctly. News came from the Xiao side saying Huaiming is not Sister's son."

"What exactly is going on?"

"It was that family entrusted by Liu Chuxue and Jiang Huiwen back then who deliberately swapped their own son for Sister's son."

"How could this happen?"

"Where is Jiang Huiwen? Does she know about this?"

"Xiao Yude said she didn't know at first, but later she did find out."

"No wonder, after Huaiming returned from Jing City, that woman Jiang Huiwen never contacted us again. So that's why; it seems she was exposed by Xiao Yude."

"Old Bu, what can we do now?"

"Has Xiao Yude confirmed it on his end?"

"Yes. They are going over today to claim kinship. He also said that girl in that child's family looks seven or eight-tenths like Sister, and that child has the Xiao family birthmark on his body."

"Oh my, what are we to do about this matter?"

For a moment, both fell silent. What kind of situation is this?

The grandson that their own mother raised with her own hands, protected like the apple of her eye since childhood, turns out to be a fake?

And by pure chance, their conversation was overheard perfectly by Han Huaiming, who had come to deliver something; the item in his hand 'crash!' fell to the ground.

This immediately startled the two people inside the room.

Han Xu Sihai and his wife heard the commotion and ran out, only to see Han Huaiming outside, looking as if he had lost his soul.

Regardless, this child is innocent; he really couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh now: "Since you heard it, come in."

Han Xu Sihai and his wife had been worrying about how to bring this up to Han Huaiming; now they didn't need to look for an opportunity anymore.

Han Huaiming wore a face of utter desolation: "How could this happen?"

Han Xu Sihai sighed: "Since the matter has already happened, we must face it actively. This matter..."

He simply couldn't go on. After all, he had raised this child, but if it was truly his parents who deliberately swapped him, that would be unfair to that child. Besides, when Mother was on her deathbed, she had given quite a lot of things to Huaiming; even the house our family lives in was Sister's dowry.

Most importantly, Huaiming's wife's job was the one inherited from our own Mother. This matter...

If it really is like this, those things naturally must be returned to their rightful owners. One cannot occupy the identity of Sister's son and also occupy those things and resources.

What Han Xu Sihai could think of, Han Huaiming naturally thought of as well.

At this very moment, he felt extremely awkward standing here; it turned out he was a fake who had usurped the magpie's nest.

If the truth holds, and if the colleagues at his unit and the neighbors find out, how can he face them? How can he face his own family?

In the end, it was Han's Aunt who broke the silence first: "Huaiming, this matter is likely as solid as iron. Moreover, the Xiao family has already found their biological son. Given his personality, I'm afraid he won't let this go just like that. Although we watched you grow up, this matter was indeed caused by the greed of your biological parents."

Han Huaiming had been raised by the Han family's maternal grandmother since childhood, and his values were still relatively upright: "Uncle, Aunt, I understand. If this is indeed the case, then what belongs to him is what he should get. I will repay him in full. No, I will repay him double."
