Han Jingchen heard the couple’s recollections and said, "He’s in the capital now and has approached Han Chunli."
The Jiao couple both exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?"
Han Jingchen picked up his teacup and took a sip, "It’s exactly what you heard. He found the Han Family, learned my dad is gone, and then got information from that kid Han Chaohui, which led him to Han Chunli."
Upon hearing Han Chunli’s name, the old lady’s face changed immediately, "I don’t know what your father was thinking, spoiling someone like that."
She especially disliked Han Chunli’s domineering nature since childhood. While Han Chuan Nian indulged her, forcing his own children to tolerate her was too much. Although it was their family business and she had no right to interfere, she couldn’t stand Han Chunli.
If she hadn’t promised Han Chuan Nian not to reveal her background, she would have embarrassed her in minutes.
She said disapprovingly, "Since you know she’s not your real sister, why do you still indulge her? Over the years, she’s taken so many benefits from you, just thinking about her makes me angry."
Han Jingchen patted the old lady’s arm, "Wanqing and her mother aren’t by my side, those external things mean nothing to me, but not anymore."
The old lady didn’t catch the implied meaning and clapped her hands, "That’s right, she’s already married, and she’s no longer your responsibility. Now that her real father has come for her, let them reunite. The Han family has treated their father and daughter well."
At that moment, Mr. Jiao spoke up, "Is there news about them?"
Han Jingchen nodded, his eyes lighting up, "Haven’t found them yet, but we have a direction now. You know about this; just don’t spread the word yet."
The old lady’s eyes instantly turned red, "Ah, ah, won’t say, won’t say, this is marvelous news."
Mr. Jiao patted his wife’s shoulder, "Alright, you said it’s good news."
The old lady wiped her tears with her sleeve, "You sit tight, I’ll head to the kitchen."
She truly felt for Han Jingchen, and hearing him say there was news about his wife and daughter, she couldn’t control her tears for some reason.
She got up and headed to the kitchen, murmuring while rinsing rice and cooking, "Oh, heaven, open your eyes please, Jingchen is a good kid, the Han Family are honorable, they shouldn’t suffer these hardships."
She saw the gleam in Han Jingchen’s eyes earlier and naturally knew how much he was hoping for a family reunion soon.
Behind her, she heard the voice of her second daughter-in-law, Guo Gaixiu, "Mom, I’m back. What are you mumbling about?"
The old lady lifted her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, "Nothing, just recalling some old things. What did you buy back?"
Guo Gaixiu showed the groceries to her mother-in-law, "Besides the meat, fish, and tofu you asked for, I also bought some vermicelli, mushrooms, peanuts, and vegetables."
The old lady thought for a moment and got an idea, "Alright, you help me out, I’ll cook."
Guo Gaixiu replied with a smile, "It’s only because of Jingchen’s influence that we’re lucky enough to benefit from this. I’ve longed for your cooking, Mom."
Their good relationship had them chatting and laughing, which put the old lady in a much better mood.
Han Jingchen only left after having dinner at the Jiao Family. From the words of the older couple, it wasn’t hard to tell Qiu Shaocheng did it intentionally back then. His eyes squinted, "Keep an eye on Qiu Shaocheng and Han Chunli, report any news promptly, and send what Han Chunli has done to Qiu Jouxuan."
