"How is that possible?"
Sima Xuanyu, driving the car, couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this moment, he couldn't stay calm. He said, "Wan Yunting only arrived in the capital two days ago. It's impossible for him to have any connection with the Kong family."
Sima Wentang frowned and said, "Did you notice just now? The calligraphy that Kong Jingguo was looking at was written by Wan Yunting. Previously, a charity auction was held in Hua Du City, and a piece of calligraphy was sold for an astonishing price of 450 million. It's highly likely that Kong Jingguo was the one who bid for it!"
This made Sima Xuanyu's face full of surprise. Sima Boyong raised his eyebrows and said, "We haven't heard before that Wan Yunting had any dealings with the Kong family. It's impossible for Kong Jingguo to change his mind about supporting our Sima family just based on a piece of calligraphy. There must be another reason!"
Sima Wentang nodded and said with great confusion, "What exactly is the reason?"
The three generations of the Sima family couldn't understand, but their mood was undoubtedly heavy. Kong Jingguo's attitude just now explained everything, which was undoubtedly a disaster for their Sima family.
At this time, in a private villa estate next to Chaoyang Park...
"What, he found his lost son?"
Ouyang Weizhi and his wife were chatting and drinking tea in the living room. When they received the call informing them that Ouyang Zhixin had found his biological son, he stood up directly.
Ouyang Liqun, who was coming down from the second floor, also heard it and couldn't help but quicken his pace. Ouyang Weizhi glared with wide eyes and said, "I know," before hanging up the phone. His wife, Fang Wenli, stood up, disbelieving, "Did my elder brother really find his long-lost son?"
"Yes."
Ouyang Weizhi sat down again. His face was grim, his eyes were wide open, and he said angrily, "This happens at such a time. It's too upsetting."
"Oh dear, what should we do?"
Fang Wenli also became anxious. She grabbed Ouyang Liqun and said, "Liqun, quickly think of a way. If your uncle finds his biological son, your grandfather will definitely reconsider the issue of the family heir!"
Ouyang Liqun was not as anxious as his parents. He asked, "Dad, do you know who my uncle's son is?"
Ouyang Weizhi glared and snorted, "It's that Wan Yunting from Hua Du City!"
This stunned Ouyang Liqun. He looked at his father in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
"I don't believe it either."
Ouyang Weizhi spread his hands, glared, and said, "But he just did a paternity test, and the results show they are biological father and son. Your grandfather is still at your uncle's house, and I heard that your grandfather also knows Wan Yunting and is very familiar with him. Your grandfather likes him very much."
"If that's the case, then it's over."
Upon hearing that the old man liked Wan Yunting, Fang Wenli sat down directly and sighed.
Ouyang Weizhi also said angrily, "Why is it such a coincidence? The old man is about to retire, and this happens now. Isn't this God siding with the eldest son?"
Ouyang Liqun sat on the side and was also silent. It was too coincidental. Wan Yunting, whom he wished he could kill with his own hands, had now miraculously become his cousin. This left him speechless...
At this moment, at Ouyang Zhixin's house, the atmosphere was filled with joy and celebration.
Ouyang Zhixin, without saying a word, began to prepare a feast at home. Tonight must be a good celebration.
Facing Ouyang Zhixin's enthusiasm, although Wan Yunting was not yet accustomed to it, he had already accepted him as his biological father in his heart. However, he still couldn't bring himself to call Ouyang Zhixin "Dad."
After all, it was too unfamiliar for him. Wan Yunting needed time to adapt.
"It's okay, as long as you can come back."
Ouyang Zhixin couldn't help but hug Wan Yunting and patted his son's back heavily. He was so emotional that his eyes turned red, and tears welled up. He remembered how he had left his son in the service area restroom when he was only three months old.
He had searched for twenty-seven years and finally found his lost son. One could imagine how excited Ouyang Zhixin was now.
Wan Yunting was tightly embraced by Ouyang Zhixin. The blood connection made him incredibly emotional, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only respond silently.
After they let go, Wan Yunting couldn't help but ask, "You..."
Ouyang Zhixin immediately understood what he was asking and said, "Are you asking about your mother's whereabouts? She is currently praying at Lotus Temple. I'll call her right now to tell her you're back..."
Saying this, the excited Ouyang Zhixin took out his phone to call his wife, Xia Xiangyun. Ten years ago, Xia Xiangyun had gone to Lotus Temple to chant sutras day and night, praying for her lost son to be safe.
Wan Yunting, hearing this, felt complex emotions and was touched. Ouyang Zhixin, after dialing his wife's number, told her the news. Xia Xiangyun, who was hitting a wooden fish in the Buddhist hall, dressed in a nun's robe, was so excited that she cried out. The wooden fish dropped from her hand. She bowed deeply to the Buddha statue in front of her, thanking Buddha for his blessings, and then rushed out of the Buddhist hall to her residence, telling Guan Xiaoyu, who had been following her, to pack their things and immediately book the earliest flight back to the capital...
"You, you are really my elder brother?"
In Ouyang Fanmeng's room, she had already sat up. She couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at Wan Yunting sitting in front of her, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Ouyang Zhixin, who was beside her, smiled and said, "Meng'er, he is indeed your lost elder brother. He's back."
Wan Yunting looked at Ouyang Fanmeng, whose cheeks were thin, her expression haggard, and her expression dazed and disbelieving. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, in a couple of days we'll go to Wudang Mountain to refine the Condensed Fragrance Pill with Master Zhang to try and treat you. You need to maintain a positive mindset, understand?"
"Mmm..."
Ouyang Fanmeng, who had come back to her senses, had tears welling up in her eyes. Although she had never seen what her elder brother looked like since she was born, she had always heard her parents talk about him. Therefore, over the years, Ouyang Fanmeng had always longed for an elder brother who could protect her.
Looking at the man in front of her, for the first time meeting him, she felt a sense of closeness and familiarity. Ouyang Fanmeng hadn't expected him to be her elder brother. Seeing her father's excited expression, she asked, "Has Mom returned?"
Ouyang Zhixin nodded and smiled, "Your mother has already taken a plane. She'll be here in two hours."
Ouyang Fanmeng nodded and said to Wan Yunting, "You, you should go out first."
Wan Yunting smiled, knowing that she was also embarrassed to call him brother, and he felt the same way. He told Ouyang Fanmeng to rest well and then got up and left.
Gu Yuanbai hadn't returned either, but he had also told Gu Shiren this news. Seeing Wan Yunting come out, he smiled and said, "It's truly unexpected that on this trip to the capital, you've also found your biological parents. This is good news, Xiao Wan."
"Mmm."
Wan Yunting nodded and walked with Gu Yuanbai in the garden of the courtyard. Although it was snowing lightly, the flowers in the courtyard were still blooming tenaciously, releasing a faint fragrance.
He had already calmed his inner turmoil and accepted the fact of his biological parents. At the same time, he had also informed his second brother. Wan Dongming was also overjoyed to hear the news and said that he would go and tell their elder sister now and that they would bring their second sister-in-law and their family to the capital tomorrow to visit Wan Yunting's biological parents.
"Elder Gu, Fanmeng's illness hasn't been cured yet. Tomorrow is the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference. How will we deal with it?" Wan Yunting turned his head to look at Gu Yuanbai, feeling a little worried.
Gu Yuanbai waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, we'll take it easy tomorrow and adapt as we go. Moreover, didn't you say that the Condensed Fragrance Pill can cure your sister's illness? Although the timing is not right, as long as this method is correct, it will be a good thing for you."
"Moreover, at tomorrow's National Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference, the Sima family will at most make things difficult for us and use the crowd to force the dissolution of our Lingnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. As long as we hold on, we'll be fine."
Wan Yunting nodded. After hearing him say this, he felt more confident.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Today is a happy occasion for your family. We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow." Gu Yuanbai patted his shoulder, feeling happy for Wan Yunting.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai were in the living room with Ouyang Shenhe, chatting about the affairs of the Ouyang family in recent years. Suddenly, Ouyang Zhixin entered, supporting a woman wearing a down coat. Her face was troubled, and the wrinkles around her eyes were clearly visible. Upon seeing Wan Yunting, Xia Xiangyun's red eyes couldn't move away, and her emotions immediately broke down, and she cried out...
When Wan Yunting saw this woman, his eyes couldn't help but turn red...
"Yu'er, you're finally back..."
Xia Xiangyun stumbled over, hugged Wan Yunting, and cried uncontrollably, her body trembling constantly. Such a touching scene silenced everyone around. Wan Yunting also hugged the woman, feeling the emotional connection between mother and son, which made him shed tears too. He didn't know how to comfort his mother in his arms...
"Alright, Xiangyun, stop crying..."
Finally, Ouyang Zhixin wiped away his tears and stepped forward to take the sobbing Xia Xiangyun from Wan Yunting's arms. Xia Xiangyun, who was sobbing and gasping, gradually suppressed her overwhelming joy. With tear-filled eyes, she looked at Wan Yunting's face, her trembling hands grasping her son's large hand, and said, "Yu'er, your parents have wronged you. We shouldn't have left you in the restroom back then, causing you to be separated for so many years. For the past ten years, your mother has been kneeling before Buddha, only praying for your safety. Buddha has shown his mercy and brought you back to your mother, boohoo..."
As she spoke, she started to sob again, her emotions almost breaking down. One could imagine how deeply Xia Xiangyun and Ouyang Zhixin blamed themselves and regretted the incident back then...
Wan Yunting, not knowing what to say, could only raise his hand to wipe away her continuously falling tears. He himself couldn't help but shed tears, feeling deeply touched.
It turned out that someone had always been silently praying to Buddha for his safety all his life...
