Chapter 164: Twins

Old Master Fu was so shocked that he stood up on the spot, and Old Madam Fu clutched her chest, unable to speak. The swing from deep sorrow to sudden joy was too much, and the elders could hardly take it.

Fu Rui Xiang, after his first shock, had his eyes shining.

“What on earth is going on? Didn’t you just say that Si Qi was already…”

Du De Sheng could not stay seated either: “Exactly, An Rao, what on earth is going on? Stop keeping us guessing. Your Grandpa Fu and Granny Wu are getting old. Their hearts cannot handle you panting up and down like this.”

Du Yi Han even skipped his dessert and stared at his own sister with bright eyes. This trip had really been worth it. Following this girl boss of his, he could always eat some fresh, different gossip.

Under everyone’s burning gaze, Du An Rao awkwardly scratched her cheek and said: “The child you had who was kidnapped is indeed no longer in this world. But looking at the Palace of Offspring on both of your faces, you should still have another direct blood relative who is alive.”

“On Grandpa Fu’s face, under the end of his smile lines, there is another wrinkle running straight down beside it. Granny Wu’s is the same. That means this still living blood relative should be in the grandson generation. His situation in all aspects now should be pretty good overall, and his fate is on the rise. His fate line with the two of you is about to meet and connect. If you can find him, his future life path will match and support yours, tightly linked together.”

The few members of the Fu family listened to Du An Rao speaking so firmly and started to waver.

Fu Rui Xiang subconsciously turned to his two elders to confirm: “Dad, Mom, what is going on? Did my brother really have another child? But that makes no sense. Brother and Sister-in-law loved each other so much. There is no way…”

Fu Rui Xiang still did not want to believe that the big brother who was like both brother and father in his heart was some scumbag who betrayed his family and his wife and even left an illegitimate child outside.

“This…” Old Master Fu also did not want to believe that this was possible. He frowned. “Your brother could never do something like that.”

“Then what is going on with this child?”

The Fu family all turned their heads back to look at Du An Rao again. The hand with which Du An Rao had been poking a little cherry tomato with her chopsticks stopped: “Your brother and your Sister-in-law really only had one child?”

“That’s right, they really only had Si Qi.”

“Wait, could it be…”

Fu Rui Xiang and Old Madam Fu both spoke at the same time. Father and son paused, then both turned to look at Old Madam in surprise.

“Mom, did you remember something?”

“But that is impossible.” Old Madam denied herself before she even explained, which made Old Master Fu so anxious he almost spun in place.

“What do you mean impossible? Say what you thought of!”

“Have you forgotten? Back then Yi Yi was originally pregnant with twins.” She paused. “But in the end, only one was born.”

Old Master Fu froze, his expression turning complicated.

Du De Sheng grabbed the key point at once: “Your daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins back then. So why was only one born in the end?”

Thinking of what happened back then, Old Master Fu could not help but sigh: “At that time Yi Yi really was carrying twins. Sadly… sadly, when she was eight months along, she went out and had an accident. The babies were born early. Only one survived. The other… was born without breath.”

Because of this, his daughter-in-law was deeply sad and full of guilt. She thought that if she had not gone out that day, the other child would not have had an accident.

Later, Fu Si Qi was kidnapped. Her husband then died in a car crash, and soon after, the daughter-in-law, weighed down by depression, also passed away. It was very likely that this old matter had been pressing on her heart all along, and what happened afterward was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Hearing the two elders bring this up, Fu Rui Xiang was stunned for a bit, then finally reacted.

“That is right. Sister-in-law was sad for a long time because of this. Brother was afraid she would hurt her health over it, so he told us to avoid bringing up the lost child in front of her.”

After that, everyone kept their mouths shut about that child. As time passed, they slowly forgot this little one who had once come into the world.

When Fu Rui Xiang finished, he suddenly realized something and looked at Du An Rao in shock: “You can’t be saying that child did not die, right? How is that possible? Back then we were all standing outside the delivery room door. We watched the babies being born with our own eyes…”

Before Fu Rui Xiang could finish, Du An Rao already cut him off: “Did any of you actually see that dead fetus with your own eyes?”

As soon as she said this, everyone’s faces changed.

Du De Sheng was also surprised: “None of you saw that child…”

Old Master Fu looked embarrassed: “The bad news came all of a sudden. Everyone was very sad. My son put all his attention on his wife and the surviving baby.”

Fu Rui Xiang added: “Mom was also badly hit and almost fainted. Dad had to take care of her.”

So in the end, the only one who even had a chance to go and take a look at the dead baby was Fu Rui Xiang. But at that time he was only around ten years old and had no experience with things like this at all.

And more than twenty years ago was not like now. Back then, for health reasons, the hospital basically did not allow the family to take a stillborn baby home to deal with on their own. They missed that one fleeting chance, and after that they never got another chance to see the child. Naturally, they never thought that someone might have swapped the real one for a fake right under their noses and that the child had, in fact… not died at all.

Fu Rui Xiang slapped the table angrily: “Damn it, who did this!”

“Who else could it be but those beasts? Ruixiang, go contact your Uncle Zhao later and have him investigate what happened at that hospital back then. No matter what, they must give us an explanation!” Old Master Fu’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He had never thought that their family had been targeted by others so early on.

“What is the use of talking about that?” Old Madam Fu gave her husband a fierce glare. “The most important thing right now is to find that child, my precious grandson!”

“Yes, yes, we have to find the child first.”

The Fu family’s eyes gathered on Du An Rao once more. Du An Rao gave them an awkward smile, thought for a moment, and said: “I can try, but I might not succeed.”

“Just do your best. No matter what comes of it, our Fu family will remember this favor you did for us.”

“When was the other child kidnapped?”

“He was five years old.”

“Five years old. Do you have any photos of him from that time?”

“Yes, yes.” Old Madam Fu immediately took out her wallet. In the top card slot was a photo of her son, her daughter-in-law, and her grandson together.

“Will this work?”

“Yes. Twins are even more closely linked by blood than normal brothers and sisters, and they look more alike too. I will try to blend the looks of his twin brother and his birth parents and work out what he might look like now. Please wait a moment.”

The Fu family all opened their eyes wide and waited, full of hope.

Du An Rao stared at the three people in the photo for a long time. Then she closed her eyes. A flood of broken images poured into her mind, slowly piecing together the information she wanted.

After about thirty seconds, a strangely familiar face finally appeared in Du An Rao’s mind, and she opened her eyes wide in shock.

[It is actually… him!]
