"The daughter who died young cannot be brought back to life, but what if she wasn’t dead and was swapped instead?" Wan Hongxing asked in return.
Pei Guozhong shook his head and said, "With the Su Family’s capability, how could they possibly be swapped?"
"That’s the truth. In the ’60s, the Su Family wasn’t all-powerful, and besides, the Su Madam didn’t give birth in Ningbei," Wan Hongxing sighed, and said, "People who have it too good, tend to draw envy."
"Hongxing, stop beating around the bush. Although this news is shocking, it wouldn’t throw me off balance." Pei Guozhong said calmly. The daughter that the Su Family had just found must be a treasured pearl, held dearly in one’s heart.
Wan Hongxing was so serious, saying it would shock him unless he knew this person.
A figure flashed in his mind and he shook his head, thinking it was impossible.
"What if I told you that this daughter the Su Family found is Xu Nianhua, your son’s girlfriend, would you be shocked?" Wan Hongxing raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
Pei Guozhong almost couldn’t sit steady on his chair, his eyes nearly popping out.
He murmured, "Impossible, she’s from South City, and Ningbei is thousands of miles away!"
He knew that girl was from the same place as his former father-in-law, a rundown little county.
How could the Su Family’s little princess be the same person?
"Absolutely true!" Wan Hongxing said with utmost certainty, seeing the incredulity in his eyes, she couldn’t help but smile, "You didn’t expect it, did you? The Nianhua you once dismissed for her family background is now a Su family lady. I even worry for Yicheng. With a father like you who isn’t reliable, if the Su Family knew you looked down on Nianhua, would they still be willing to let her marry Yicheng?"
Pei Guozhong twitched his mouth, saying, "You’re just talking nonsense. When did I ever despise her?"
"Who was it who used to say Nianhua would hold Yicheng back?" Wan Hongxing raised an eyebrow.
"Definitely not me." Pei Guozhong denied without a second thought, saying, "By the end of last year, I already told Yicheng to bring her home."
Though he wasn’t so willing at the time, he eventually relented.
Wan Hongxing shook her head helplessly, saying, "Speaking of which, shouldn’t you take a break from the factory stuff? You’ve just recovered and need more rest and less mental exertion."
"I’m in good health, I can handle this," Pei Guozhong said, frowning unhappily, "Hongxing, don’t worry. I know my own body best. Look at me walking just fine now, don’t I?"
"I don’t care. The doctor said you need to rest." After saying this, Wan Hongxing kept looking at Pei Guozhong. Now over fifty, with gray at the temples, the doctor said that although this illness was severe, they were lucky to get him to the hospital in time.
Pei Guozhong now needed rest, and not to busy himself with work like before.
"Hongxing." Pei Guozhong was helpless. The Pei Family was in the construction business, and the Xiyue Hotel was about to be completed. There were still many things needing his attention that he couldn’t abandon.
"Guozhong, can’t you think about the two of us?" Wan Hongxing said with red eyes. She was genuinely afraid. If anything happened to him, what would she and Yijian do?
