Chapter 391: Guan Cunxiao

~8 min read 1,589 words

Ever since Guan Tai married Han Chunyan, the two of them had been living very happily; Guan Tai spent fifty-five thousand directly to buy a high-end car, and he and Han Chunyan took Guan Daye to have a great time in several nearby cities.

Of course, Guan Tai spent his own money; he already had over one hundred thousand in savings, and with the dividends from this period, his deposits were already approaching five hundred thousand.

Guan Daye finally experienced the joy of having a grandson; before, he had no vitality at all, hanging his old face, but now it was better, his face full of smiles all day long, and now that his granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, he couldn't wait to talk about it every day.

Han Chunyan became pregnant in July, and for this, Guan Daye even specifically called Zhang Ping'an to take a look at her, only feeling at ease after confirming everything was fine.

And after Han Chunyan became pregnant, Guan Tai also learned a few tricks from He Daqing, and now his cooking and stir-frying were quite decent.

The family of three was also living in harmony, and their little life could not have been better, but this harmony was broken by two people who appeared suddenly.

They were none other than Guan Cunxiao and his wife, who had been in the Beautiful Country, which is to say, Guan Daye's second son and Guan Xiaoguan's biological parents.

According to the original plot, they were supposed to return when Guan Daye faked his death, which was around the nineties.

Guan Cunxiao had originally felt secure in the knowledge that he had backing; his older brother had long since disappeared, his father currently had only him as a son, and since Guan Xiaoguan was a girl, he was the only one who could inherit the family business.

But they didn't know where they got the news that Guan Daye had found his eldest grandson, and suddenly they were full of a sense of crisis; they didn't dare to stay in the Beautiful Country any longer and bought tickets to return at the first opportunity.

This return was no small matter; seeing a high-end car parked at the entrance of his courtyard, and pushing the door open to see a happy family of three, he immediately lost his composure.

"Dad, how much money did you give me when I was struggling to survive? But when this bastard comes back, you buy him a car; in your heart, you really were still thinking about that eldest son of yours all along."

"That's right, Dad, even though this bastard looks like you, he might not be your own flesh and blood; you mustn't be senile."

"You scoundrels, you unfilial sons, get out of here, all of you!"

Guan Daye had actually been quite happy to see his second son return, but who would have thought that as soon as these two opened their mouths, it was a critical hit, and his happiness turned into anger.

Guan Tai looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man; he was the leader of one-third of the underground forces in Jinghai, and although he had retired for more than a year, that did not mean he had a good temper.

Being able to fight his way out among the underground forces, he was not a kind person to begin with; although he had never killed anyone, the number of thugs he had slashed and crippled was not small.

Over these years, no one had ever dared to call him a bastard; if it weren't for Guan Daye's words about them being unfilial and Han Chunyan pulling at him from the side, he would have gone straight to the kitchen to grab a vegetable knife.

"You, what do you want to do? You all just wait for me!"

Guan Cunxiao and his wife were also startled by the enraged Guan Daye and Guan Tai, and after dropping a harsh threat, they ran away.

Once the two were out of the courtyard gate, they began to ask the neighbors in the vicinity about what had happened over these years.

"Lao Liu, where did my dad pick up this bastard from?"

But no one around could stand them; they were arrogant even when asking questions. This Lao Liu was also of the same generation as Guan Daye, and logically, they should have called him Uncle Liu, but they just called him Lao Liu directly.

"Guan the Second, you were willing to come back from a capitalist country, huh? It's a pity you came too late; your big brother's son has been found, and you're out of luck, hahaha!"

"Stop talking nonsense, my dad only has me as a son."

"Heh~"

Who among the old neighbors in the surrounding hutongs didn't know that the eldest of the Guan family had run off with someone years ago to avoid an arranged marriage? His words were only enough to fool himself.

"Lao Guan, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? We can only look for our daughter."

In the end, Guan Cunxiao lowered his posture and took some chocolate before he managed to find out where Guan Xiaoguan lived.

"I just heard those bumpkins say that our daughter seems to have married into a wealthy family."

"Hmm, it seems that's true, but why are they living in this dilapidated courtyard?"

The two rushed to Zhang Ping'an's Sijinyuan, seeing two luxury cars parked outside, yet the people were living in a Siheyuan.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Is anyone home?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Li Aihua happened to be returning from work and saw the two of them banging on the door; her Public Security Uniform startled the two of them.

"W-we are looking for Guan Xiaoguan."

"Who are you?"

"We are Guan Xiaoguan's parents."

"What? Go away, go away, there is no Guan Xiaoguan here."

Regarding Guan Xiaoguan's background, Li Aihua naturally knew from Zhang Ping'an; learning that the two had only given birth to Guan Xiaoguan for money and had abandoned her afterward, it would be strange if Li Aihua had any good feelings toward them.

However, Li Aihua was still a step too late; Guan Xiaoguan opened the door directly from the inside and looked at both sides in confusion.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Li Aihua pulled Guan Xiaoguan into the courtyard gate and closed it behind her, only then explaining to her in a low voice.

Guan Xiaoguan didn't have much of a feeling about this; her parents had abandoned her when she was less than a year old, and in her impression, there was no longing for her parents at all.

Of course, Guan Daye hadn't told her the cruel truth either, otherwise, she would only have hatred.

It was Wang Xiaoling, Xu Huizhen, and Qin Pandi who had taken turns playing the role of mother when she was young, which kept her childhood from being so bleak.

Later, there were even a few little friends who came to play with her from time to time; it could be said that except for not having parents, her childhood was still perfect.

"Aunt Li, I'd better see them; I'm also quite curious about how they could have the heart to abandon me back then."

"Xiaoguan..."

"Aunt Li, I'm fine; counting it up, I had three mothers when I was young, and now I have you all; I have no impression of the past, I'm just curious now."

Guan Xiaoguan had also just become a parent; in any case, if it were her, she would never abandon her own child no matter what.

"Very well, I will accompany you."

"Okay."

The courtyard gate opened again, and Guan Cunxiao and his wife had not left.

"I am Guan Xiaoguan; who are you, and what are you looking for me for?"

"Xiaoguan, we are your biological father and mother."

"Oh? Then why did you leave me with Grandpa back then? Where have you been all these years?"

"I..."

"We had our own unavoidable hardships back then when we left; we were very reluctant to leave you, but there was no other way."

"Yes, yes, yes, we heard you got married, so we hurried back to see you."

"Fine, you've seen me now, go back."

"..."

"You girl, how can you be so disrespectful? We are your parents after all. Never mind inviting us in to sit for a while, what kind of attitude is this?"

"What kind of attitude do you want? What kind of attitude do you want me to have toward people who abandoned their children and whom I have absolutely no memory of?"

"You..." Mother Guan raised her hand, about to strike.

"Enough, isn't it shameful enough already?"

After they left, Guan Daye comforted Guan Tai. As soon as he stepped out, an old neighbor told him that Guan Cunxiao had gone to see Guan Xiaoguan, and he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly had Guan Tai drive him over.

As it turned out, the moment he arrived, he heard the shameless words of his son and daughter-in-law, which made him feel mortified.

"Grandfather."

"Uncle Guan."

"Hmm. Cunxiao, if you still have even a shred of conscience, then come back with me."

Guan Daye had two sons, one Cunzhong and one Cunxiao; he had hoped for both loyalty and filial piety, but he ended up being slapped in the face, and each one was more outrageous than the last.
