Little Reunion blinked and shook his head again. He didn’t know this Liu Yongfa, so he didn’t want him to hold him.
As for toys and such, he didn’t care for them.
Liu Yongfa couldn’t persuade Little Reunion to let him hold him, which made him feel a bit disappointed. Fortunately, at that moment, Jiang Xue came out from the kitchen and told everyone dinner was ready, which put an end to it.
After dinner, Liu Yongfa didn’t hurry to leave, and since the house had extra rooms, Mu Qiancheng invited him to stay the night.
Liu Yongfa didn’t want to go back either. His home was actually in the city, not far away, just a half-hour drive. However, he didn’t want to listen to the old man’s nagging.
As for going back to work, being alone there seemed boring. It was better to stay here for a night and return early the next day. This way, he could give Mu Qiancheng a ride back to the army base on the way.
When Jiang Xue heard Liu Yongfa was staying, she got up to help prepare a room for him.
After the room was ready, and seeing that Little Reunion was a bit sleepy, she took him to bathe and sleep. Once Jiang Xue took the child inside, Mu Qiancheng told Liu Yongfa about the events of the evening and asked him to help investigate Jiang Mingzhu’s background.
The Liu Family had some influence in Xu City, and Liu Yongfa readily agreed.
The two chatted for a while longer, and seeing it was late, they each went to their respective rooms to rest.
Mu Qiancheng returned to the room, where Jiang Xue was still awake, sitting on the bed reading a book. Seeing Mu Qiancheng come in, Jiang Xue put down the book and asked, "Did Brother Liu go to rest?"
"Yes, he has to get up early to return to the county for work tomorrow. If he doesn’t sleep, he won’t be able to get up."
"But what about you, why aren’t you sleeping yet?"
"I’m waiting for you."
"What are you waiting for me for? If you’re sleepy, go to bed early." Mu Qiancheng reached out to gently tousle his wife’s hair and said with a smile.
"I have something to tell you."
Mu Qiancheng was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and sat down on the bed, looking at Jiang Xue. "Go ahead."
"You go take a shower first. I’ll tell you afterward." Jiang Xue chuckled and gave Mu Qiancheng a gentle push. After waiting this long, she didn’t mind waiting a little longer.
"Alright, I’ll let you wait a bit more then." Mu Qiancheng smiled and got up to take a shower.
In a short while, he finished his shower. He dried his hair and then got into bed.
"Xue’er, what’s on your mind?" Mu Qiancheng extended his arm, pulling Jiang Xue into his embrace with a smile.
"Qian Cheng, today you also saw that woman named Jiang Mingzhu looks a lot like me, right?"
When he first saw Jiang Mingzhu, he also thought they looked very similar. However, if you looked closely, there were many differences.
"Qian Cheng, I’m not the biological child of my parents."
"What do you mean?" Mu Qiancheng was stunned, looking at Jiang Xue.
"I’m their adopted daughter."
Mu Qiancheng was a smart man. Thinking of Jiang Mingzhu, whom his wife mentioned earlier, he immediately had a guess and said, "You mean you have some connection to Jiang Mingzhu?"
"I should be. And I also think I might be connected to Cheng Li." Jiang Xue recounted past events and mentioned that Cheng Li had a bracelet identical to hers.
After listening to Jiang Xue, Mu Qiancheng was silent for a while, then said, "Xue’er, I’ve noted what you said. I’ll have someone thoroughly investigate it. Regardless of whether you have any connection with those two, now that they’ve hurt you, they won’t be let off easily."
