Chapter 939 - Locating Grandfather
Finally, after about 10 minutes, she saw the butler again. His footsteps were a bit faster, almost running towards her. "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" "When I was young, the jade pendant was on me, mine.""Okay, miss, please come in! My master wishes to see you! " After saying that, he opened the small door at the side and welcomed Xia Shouchuan inside.
It was obvious that the owner of the place was very wealthy. Xia Shennong followed him around the fountain by the door, which was both beautiful and classical, with the shape of a merman fish.
The door was made from a row of eight huge white Roman pillars. It was extremely grand. Xia Ran was shocked as she walked step by step into the hall. It was as if she had entered a luxurious hall as her mouth slightly opened in surprise.
"Miss, this way please." The steward walked step by step up the stairs to welcome her. Xia An couldn't help but be a bit surprised. What did the master of this house look like?
If she really was a relative, then which part of her family would she be?Finally, the housekeeper led her into a large hall. In the golden hall, they saw an old man in his sixties sitting on a wheelchair. His face was not that of a foreigner, but rather that of an Asian.
His eyes were bright and excited the moment Xia An walked in. He murmured, "Little Mei."
Even if she didn't know who he was, she still felt extremely unlucky, especially when he was living here alone and sitting in a wheelchair.
"Child, come here... "Come to me." The old man suddenly spoke in Chinese and stretched out his trembling hand towards her.
She walked step by step until she was standing in front of the old man. She squatted down and faced the old man, who examined her facial features, and her eyes were also wet. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Child, what's your name?"
"My name is An Ran." Xia An didn't mention her surname because her mother definitely wasn't surnamed Xia."Peace …" "Is it peaceful?" The old man mumbled these two words. He didn't even need to verify her identity. Just by looking at this face that was similar to his daughter's and that jade pendant, he knew that this was the child his daughter had given birth to all those years ago.
"How old are you?""I'm twenty-one."
For a full twenty-one years, the old man could not forget for a moment. He thought to himself, his granddaughter has returned to his side, could it be that his daughter has finally decided to return home without hating him?"What about your mother? Is she back? " the old man asked expectantly.
"She …" She is no longer in the world. " To his mother, who had no memory of her birth, Xia Ran's heart was filled with sorrow and regret.
The old man suddenly burst into tears, "She won't come back to see me even if she dies?" "Little Mei, you still won't forgive me. It is father's fault, it is father's fault!"
Xia An looked at the old man crying, and upon hearing the way he addressed her, her tears started to flow as well. Could this old man in front of her be her grandfather?
The butler was waiting quietly at the door. He didn't come in to disturb them.The old man forced himself to calm down. "When did she leave?"
At this point, Xia An burst into tears. "She left when I was three months old …"
"What?" The old man's face trembled, his eyes full of remorse and regret. He endured the pain of losing a girl and reached out to help Xia Shun up. "Child, tell me how you've lived all these years. Tell me how you found me!"
"You... Don't you even need to verify my identity? Why do you think I'm your relative? " She really wished that she was his granddaughter, but she needed proof.
The old man smiled bitterly, "There's no need. Your appearance is seventy percent similar to my daughter when she was young. I recognize my granddaughter." After he finished speaking, he noticed that there were some doubts on Xia An's mind. He continued, "If you're curious about our identities, then please let my people check the DNA!"With that, the housekeeper immediately came to receive the order. He took the tray and cut off a small cut from Xia An's hair. He also cut off some white hair from the old man's hair. He then left the room.
For a moment, Xia An found it hard to believe that he had directly met her grandfather. Could it be that the jade pendant her mother had given her was passed down from her grandfather's side? Then who was her biological father? Where is he?
"Grandfather …" Are you all right? " Xia Ran stared at his head full of white hair, his heart filled with a sorrowful grief.
"I'm very well, and I'm very happy to see you before I die. I've been searching for you and your mother for more than twenty years, and I haven't been able to find anything. I didn't expect you to appear in front of me." It was difficult for Elder Ji Senyang to express how excited he was.However, he had been feeling too much sadness in the past few years, so much so that even he couldn't express his excitement.
So it turned out that her family had been looking for her this entire time. She sat opposite of Elder Ji Senyang and recounted all of the things that her mother had told her to her. She only found out about her mother's jump into the river when her foster mother was about to die.Ji Senyang's face was filled with tears of regret as he listened to her finish his story. He never thought that his daughter would be so decisive.
Ji Senyang really wanted to know the process of Xia An's growth. In order to prevent him from feeling sad, Xia An had told her the story of her growth. Although Xia Shuhua was a little muddle-headed about what he had done in his later years, she was still a very good person to him.Especially when she knew that she wasn't her biological mother, but was instead her biological mother. In her heart, she felt grateful towards her.
"Alright, good child. From now on, you are not alone. You still have me and my grandfather. From now on, we will live together!" Ji Senyang didn't want to lose his granddaughter anymore. He wanted to pour all his feelings for his daughter onto her.Later on, the butler brought back the test report. They were indeed related by blood, and even without the report, Xia An already knew that this old man was her grandfather.
Ji Senyang immediately got someone to pass the proof of residence to Xia An, and transferred her identity to him, becoming a citizen of this country as his granddaughter. And these things, only required time and money to accomplish.
The Ji Clan was not short on money.
