"Okay."
"Since you're doing so well now, I, an old woman, can finally bask in your glory."
"After today's matters are settled, I'll call Lin Mu and the others."
"I'll try to get everyone to come back for a reunion before you leave for the capital."
Knowing that Qin Xuan was no longer lacking in money, the院长阿姨 (Dean Aunt) could finally prepare for the reunion with peace of mind.
After all, being able to have the children who had left the orphanage years ago gather again was something that made her very happy.
"Great!"
Seeing the院长阿姨 smiling from ear to ear, Qin Xuan was also very happy.
Moreover, he had gotten along very well with his childhood friends back then. This reunion would also allow him to recapture some of his past feelings.
"But, Dean Aunt, I still have some things I want to ask you."
"Go ahead," the院长阿姨 nodded.
"It's about my background."
"You said earlier that the first time you saw me was when I was seven years old. How did I come to the orphanage then?"
"Was I brought by a kind person?"
"Or was it the help of law enforcement officers?"
"When I arrived, did I have any identification with me?"
"Who gave me my current name?"
A string of questions poured out of Qin Xuan's mouth like a barrage.
The院长阿姨 smiled slightly and waved her hand at Qin Xuan.
The reason she had sought him out today was directly related to these questions.
"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush."
"I asked you to come today precisely to talk about these matters."
"Back then, when you first came to the orphanage, you weren't alone."
"You were quite young, but you were brought here by another child who was also a minor."
"She didn't leave any identification for you, but she did leave your current name."
"And everything about you was told to me by her."
"Who is 'that child' you mentioned?"
"And where is she now?"
After hearing the院长阿姨's account, Qin Xuan vaguely began to form some conjectures about the identity of "that child."
To be able to bring him to the orphanage alone and to know everything about him.
This person must be his closest relative.
Regarding Qin Xuan's questions, the院长阿姨 did not deliberately keep him in suspense.
She simply took a sip of hot water and then revealed everything to him.
"That child was your paternal aunt."
"Back then, she was only eleven or twelve years old, but her maturity was like that of an adult."
"She told me that you were the person she loved most in her life, and she wished for you to grow up safely here."
"The character 'Xuan' in your name was her beautiful expectation for your future life and her good wishes for your life ahead."
"As for where she is..."
"When you look back, you will find the answer."
It was her?!
Hearing the院长阿姨's words, Qin Xuan instinctively turned his head.
And when he saw the stunning beauty sitting in the corner, tears streaming down her face, he suddenly understood.
No wonder he had felt so familiar with her when they first met.
It wasn't a fleeting attraction to her beauty, but a blood connection to his closest loved one, etched into his very bones.
Since he had been brought to the orphanage by her when he was young, it was natural for him to retain some deep memories and feelings for her.
"Aunt... Aunt?"
His Adam's apple bobbed, and Qin Xuan choked out the unfamiliar address, his voice trembling.
After twenty-six long years, he had finally met his closest relative for the first time.
By the time he regained his senses, the two of them were already embracing and weeping.
To be honest, Qin Xuan had imagined many scenarios for reuniting with his family.
There were those where both parties were happy and loving.
And there were those where they disliked each other and found fault.
But no matter what, he had never expected himself to cry.
Because in his eyes, he had long since lost all expectation for people he had never met.
Whether they were close or distant, they were just more people who were called family.
But as soon as he heard his aunt's hopes for him and saw her eyes filled with love, he could no longer hold back.
A man's tears are not shed easily, only when his heart is truly broken.
The longing for his relatives, hidden deep in his heart for years, finally erupted at this moment.
Watching the two of them cry, the院长阿姨 also shed tears.
She knew that both of these children had been through a lot.
Now that they were reunited, they would surely live better lives than before.
"Alright, alright."
"You two, stop crying."
"Reuniting with family is a happy occasion, you should be joyful."
Wiping the tears from her eyes, the dean gently helped Qin Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet.
Qin Xuan's aunt nodded in agreement, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped away Qin Xuan's tears.
"Dean Lin is right, reuniting with family is a happy occasion, let's not cry."
"But I hope you can forgive your aunt for not coming to find you until now."
Qin Xuan shook his head, his excited voice a little hoarse, "It's okay, I've never blamed you!"
After a long while, the two finally regained their composure.
Qin Xuan stood up again to make tea for the two elders, while his aunt took a deep breath and began to recount the past stories to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan's original name was Qin Feiyu.
Just as he and Yuan Mengqi had speculated.
He was indeed the eldest young master of the direct lineage of the Qin family in the capital, who had suddenly disappeared.
However, contrary to what they had thought, Qin Xuan had not gotten lost by accident. He had been taken away by his aunt, who was the fourth daughter of the Qin family, Qin Anning.
The reason was actually very simple.
Because Qin Anning suspected that there was more to the accident that killed Qin Xuan's parents twenty years ago.
Firstly, Qin Antai's schedule that day was not urgent, and there was no need for him to drive fast.
But according to the traffic police's judgment at the accident scene, Qin Antai's speed was at least 120 kilometers per hour.
Although there were not many cars on the road twenty years ago, driving at such a high speed on the densely populated streets of the capital was not a normal phenomenon.
Secondly, there was the large truck that collided with Qin Antai.
According to the driver's confession, he had been driving fatigued after a night of bumpy travel, which caused him to not notice the oncoming car.
However, according to subsequent investigations, the driver had not driven any long routes the previous night. Instead, he had been enjoying himself at a hotel in the capital.
He had slept until noon the next day before starting his shift.
There was no such thing as a long journey or fatigue driving!
It was just that at that time, the old master Qin Shoujiang was overcome with grief and had been sent to the hospital in a coma.
He had no time to personally inquire about the follow-up.
And Qin Anbang, who was responsible for tracking and investigating the cause of Qin Antai's death, did not truthfully inform Qin Shoujiang of these suspicious circumstances.
Therefore, from then on, a terrible thought slowly began to form in Qin Anning's mind.
That is, Qin Antai's death might be related to Qin Anbang!
