Chapter 165: This Is Way Too Much of a Coincidence

Du De Sheng and Du Yi Han both pricked up their ears. What was going on? Could it be that their An An actually knew this young master from the Fu family who had accidentally been left wandering outside all these years?

As it turned out, she really did know him.

After opening her eyes, Du An Rao instinctively looked down at the photo in her hand again.

[No wonder Grandpa Fu’s son looked so familiar to me. Now that I look closely, his face shape and eyes are really similar. His mouth and nose look more like Mama’s. This one face almost has all the best parts of his parents’ features. No wonder he is so handsome and stands out so much.]

Du De Sheng and Du Yi Han: “…”

After all that, who was this handsome guy? Would she please just say it clearly?

The two of them already had their curiosity hooked all the way, so itchy that it hurt, but Du An Rao herself was a little torn.

[This is way too much of a coincidence. If I say it, will Grandpa Fu and Granny Wu think I set this up on purpose to trick them?]

A spark flashed in Du De Sheng’s eyes as he made up his mind. If the Fu family really dared to think that way, he would take his child away at once. Let anyone who wanted the relative recognize him.

He was just that unreasonable and just that protective. Hmph.

The Fu family had no idea about the little thoughts of this grandfather and granddaughter. They only saw that Du An Rao had opened her eyes yet looked a bit complicated, and their hearts jumped up again, afraid there would be some new twist.

“Is there some kind of problem?” Old Madam Fu asked nervously.

Looking at Old Madam Fu’s face, old yet still filled with hope, Du An Rao remembered how carefully she had taken out that photo just now.

The photo, kept for many years, was already yellowed, yet it had been sealed again and put in the place closest to her heart. You could imagine how important the people in the photo were to whoever kept it.

But those few important people were now all gone from this world. Just thinking about that pain was enough to make one’s heart ache.

Du An Rao pressed her lips together and still chose to tell the truth: “I roughly put together what that person might look like now and found that he happens to look a lot like someone I know. Right this moment, I cannot say for sure if it is just my own mind influencing me, or if it really is such a coincidence. In short, I am not sure if he is actually the person you are looking for.”

Old Master Fu and the others looked at one another, but they did not rush to question her. Instead, they said a bit anxiously: “The person you know, can you let us see him?”

“I only met him once. I do not have any photos of him on my phone. But he is an entertainer at the agency owned by my fourth sister’s cousin. He just took a role in a pretty famous TV drama and is playing the male lead. Wait a bit, I will search for him. There should be stills of the show online.”

Once Du An Rao explained, the Fu family all crowded around her.

“He is a star?” someone asked.

“Yes, but he only signed with the company recently and is not very famous yet.”

Du An Rao typed in the name of the crew Du He Xuan had gone to join before and quickly found the stills of him as the male lead from that show.

Because it was a xianxia fantasy drama, most of the photos showed him in ancient robes. Even so, when Old Madam saw the face in the picture, her heart could not help but pound wildly.

She reached out and gently stroked that face in the still and could not stop her tears from flowing.

“He looks like him, he really does. Old man, come look. This child looks so much like Da Bao when he was young!”

Du An Rao almost choked when she heard the nickname of the Fu family’s deceased eldest son, but when she saw the two elders, their hair already white, helplessly holding a phone together, shoulder to shoulder and head to head, staring at that small picture with tear-filled, timeworn eyes, her own nose stung.

She could empathize, but there were still things she had to remind them of.

“Maybe you should first try doing a paternity test with him. After all, there are a lot of people in this world who look alike.” She did not say the second half out loud. He might not really be the child they had lost.

How could Old Master Fu not hear what Du An Rao was getting at? He quickly wiped his face, gave a small smile, and said: “You are right. We should be careful with things like this. We will only go to him after we have solid proof.”

Fu Rui Xiang sniffed, took a step forward, and said: “If you trust me, let me handle this.”

The old couple could not help but smile: “How could we not trust you? We will leave it to you.”

After giving Fu Rui Xiang his instructions, Old Madam walked over to Du An Rao again and tightly held her hand: “Good child, you worked hard today. This is a little gift from Grandmother. You must take it.”

Du An Rao looked down and saw that there was a black card in her palm. The name of this restaurant was printed on it.

As soon as Du De Sheng saw the card, he shouted: “Old Fu, you sly old thing. I lowered my pride and asked you for this card several times before, and you never agreed. So you were saving it for this!”

Du An Rao looked confused: “Grandfather, is there something wrong with this card?”

Du De Sheng gave a cold snort: “See our private room number?”

“1?”

“Right, it is 1. There is also a 1 printed on your card. That number stands for this private room. You saw that crowd of bosses waiting in a long line downstairs just to eat a meal here. Even I have to line up if I want to eat here.”

“But this private room is different. It stands for the host family and is not rented out to outsiders. It is only opened when your Grandpa Fu and Granny Wu come. And now, they are giving the right to use this private room to you.”

Since she would be the host, of course she would not have to line up outside like everyone else.

People say food is the most important thing for the people. No matter how rich someone is, they still cannot escape their craving for good food. Otherwise, there would not be such a long line of rich merchants and bosses downstairs.

For these old foodies, this card was probably more important than any project contract.

Du De Sheng had set his eyes on this card before. But Old Master Fu was so stingy that no matter how he tried to talk him into it, he would not hand it over. And now, the card had fallen into their Du family’s hands.

The old man was secretly feeling proud, but his mouth still could not help turning a little sour: “Most importantly, with this card, everything you eat here is free. An An, remember to bring Grandfather here more often in the future. Try to eat them into bankruptcy.”

At first, Du An Rao had felt like she was in a fog, but she understood the last part clearly: “That will not do. This card is too valuable. Granny Wu, you should take it back.”

“Since we already gave it, how could we take it back? Do not listen to your Grandfather’s nonsense. Once you take this card, you are one of us. When family eats at home, it just means adding one more pair of chopsticks. How could we be eaten into poverty so easily? You can even come every day if you want. Ask your Uncle Ruixiang to cook lots of tasty dishes for you.”

“But…”

“Grandmother really thanks you and also knows that this card is not some rare treasure. Once everything over there is confirmed, Grandpa and Grandmother will thank you properly again.”

So there would be another gift later? Du An Rao wanted to refuse again, but once more Old Madam cut her off.

“By the way, what is that child’s name?”

“… His surname is Fu, the fu of ‘to pay’. His name is Fu Si Li.”
