Mu Jiu Chen, upon hearing this, exclaimed, "Mother and child are connected by heart. My dear, your mother is asleep. Can you call back tomorrow morning?"
"Ah..." Jiang Si Yun's small face was filled with disappointment.
"Daddy, when Mommy wakes up, tell her I miss her." The little one, unable to find his mother, was on the verge of tears.
Mu Jiu Chen desperately wanted to hug his daughter. "Okay! Yun Yun, be good!"
"I'm very good, Daddy. Great-Grandpa, I'm hanging up now. Uncle is taking us to get a late-night snack."
Mu Jiu Chen looked at Jiang Xing Yu behind him and said, "Big Brother, please keep an eye on the child."
Jiang Xing Yu, upon hearing "Big Brother," paused for a moment, then nodded. "I'll take good care of the child, you don't need to worry. You protect Nuan Nuan and don't let her get hurt."
Mu Jiu Chen's gaze flickered. "Okay!"
Jin Yan looked at Mu Jiu Chen, wanting to speak but hesitating. She also wanted to see her granddaughter, but she didn't have the courage to say it now.
At this moment, Jiang Wei walked over and stood at the doorway, saying, "Chairman, the young master and the others are here."
Jiang Bei Chen looked at Jin Yan and Mu Jiu Chen, his tone heavy. "You all come down."
Mu Jiu Chen looked at him and said, "Grandpa, I'll stay here with Nuan Nuan."
Old Master Jiang said, "Come down first. I have something to say. You are the child's father, and you have the right to know the truth."
Mu Jiu Chen was somewhat confused but followed them downstairs.
Downstairs, Lu Cheng Si and Lu Jin Cheng stood in the hall.
Upon seeing Jiang Bei Chen, he instantly understood everything.
Jiang Bei Chen looked at Jiang Wei and said, "Go guard the entrance and take all the servants out."
"Yes, Chairman." Jiang Wei nodded and led all the servants out.
Jiang Bei Chen walked up to Lu Cheng Si, his eyes looking deeply into him. "Cheng Si, thank you for making this trip."
Lu Cheng Si's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately remained silent.
"Sit down!" Jiang Bei Chen said to everyone.
Once everyone was seated, Jiang Bei Chen slowly took out two paternity test reports. "Here are two paternity tests, one is between me and Cheng Si, and the other is between Cheng Si and Nuan Nuan."
Lu Cheng Si's heart suddenly tightened. Jin Yan also looked at her husband in surprise, and judging by his expression, he seemed to know.
Mu Jiu Chen was somewhat astonished. He looked at the elder, then at the Lu family of three, and quickly arrived at a conclusion in his mind. He looked at the elder with surprise.
"Grandpa, you mean Nuan Nuan is Chairman Lu's daughter? And Chairman Lu is your son who was lost for many years?"
Jiang Bei Chen glanced at him silently. Calling him down was indeed useful. Good, he wanted to hear this.
"Yes, I've been looking for decades and finally found him. After what happened at the banquet today, I believe it was a grand conspiracy back then. Whether it was Cheng Si or Nuan Nuan who was lost, someone was secretly in control, controlling two generations of our Jiang family. I wonder what this person wants?"
Jiang Bei Chen looked at Lu Cheng Si with red eyes. "Cheng Si, I'm sorry. Dad is only finding you now!"
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." He looked at Lu Cheng Si and his wife, and then he just... understood!
Lu Cheng Si also knew that things were not simple. After hearing what he said, and combined with what he had learned in the past few days, it was indeed a conspiracy back then.
"Can you tell me how I was lost back then?"
Jiang Bei Chen was very surprised by Lu Cheng Si's question. Seeing how calm he was, he asked, "Did you already know?"
Lu Cheng Si did not deny it. "Yes, Rong Yin told me. Your biological grandson is you, and after Nuan Nuan came to our house, my wife saw that Nuan Nuan looked very much like her. She also recalled some details from the hospital. My wife suspected Nuan Nuan, so she did a paternity test. To our surprise, Nuan Nuan is our daughter."
Lu Cheng Si spoke slowly. He already knew the truth and was now very calm.
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
Jiang Bei Chen's tears instantly streamed down his face as he slowly recounted the events of the past.
"Back then, after I returned from the army, I was always with you and your mother. The three of us lived a very happy life."
"That summer, I took you to a gathering with my comrades. During the gathering, I drank too much. When I woke up, you were gone. Your mother could not bear such a blow and eventually divorced me."
"She went to live in Jinshi and adopted Nuan Nuan's adoptive father, Jiang Shuo."
"The problem arises here. Your mother clearly knew that Nuan Nuan was your biological child, but she didn't send the child back. Instead, she raised Nuan Nuan by herself. She had a very good friend who was skilled in many strange medical arts, and Nuan Nuan learned medical skills from her for nearly 20 years."
"Your mother has a detached personality. Once she experiences some things, she no longer dwells on them. It's like our love; since she has experienced it, there's no need to return. So, we both lived our lives, guarding each other."
"Six years ago, Nuan Nuan was framed by her adoptive mother, and Nuan Nuan escaped. Your mother also died suddenly from a heart attack. You all know what happened afterward. The events of that year seem simple, but they are very complicated upon closer reflection."
"Your mother never revealed the truth, most likely to protect you and Nuan Nuan."
"Through my investigation over the years, the truth has gradually become clear, and all signs point to the Yang family."
"Unfortunately, those who knew about this matter have also died within a few months. Some have been imprisoned, and Yang Tian Cheng's appearance tonight has made me fully aware of the approaching danger."
After speaking, Old Master Jiang looked at Lu Cheng Si, his eyes full of tears. His wish had finally been fulfilled. "Child, I'm sorry, and even more sorry to your mother!"
"Your adoptive mother treated you exceptionally well, and I am immensely grateful to her because she is a great mother. She raised you very well!"
He chose to reveal the truth so early because he feared something might happen before they could acknowledge each other.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that this matter was directed at their family.
Lu Cheng Si recalled the times he saw his mother over the years; she always had a gentle smile and looked at him with affection.
Her brief stay in Modu was actually to see him. She was extremely kind to his adoptive mother, always bringing her many tonifying medicines whenever she visited.
His adoptive mother often said that her old friend was such a good person. Her family wasn't as close as she and her old friend.
His mother was grateful because his adoptive mother had taken such good care of him, which was why she tried so hard to be good to her. That sincerity was not something ordinary people could achieve.
Lu Cheng Si looked at his father, whose temples were now frosted with white hair. Thinking of how his father had never given up searching for him over the decades, his heart ached. As a father himself, he could understand his father's pain. He couldn't reunite with his mother, but he couldn't let his father leave with regret.
With this thought, he spoke, calling out, "Dad."
He believed that his father didn't intentionally lose him and also believed that there was a big conspiracy involved.
Jiang Bei Chen was startled. Looking at Lu Cheng Si, who called him Dad, he was filled with joy. "Sheng Hua, Dad has finally found you."
