Chapter 1381 Everyone is on tenterhooks
After Hu Jian returned, he invited Ye Qiang to his home for a get-together to thank Ye Qiang for his sincere help.
Ye Qiang and Tang Xiaoyu came to visit, bringing their children with them.
Liu Meilan and Fu Chen also brought their children over, and the courtyard was bustling with laughter and joy.
The adults gathered together, and Ye Qiang took the investigation materials out of his bag and placed them in front of Hu Jian. "This is all their information. Take a look!"
"Ye Qiang, thank you!" Hu Jian took it with both hands, eagerly opened it, and read it carefully.
Fu Chen asked, "What are their character traits like?"
Ye Qiang replied, "According to information I gathered from my ninth uncle, Hu Jian's biological parents are very good people! His mother is gentle and virtuous, and a housewife! Hu Jian's father is intelligent, hardworking, and quite fair in business! His adopted daughter and two sons are also quite polite!"
"Our adopted daughter, Lu Qinqin, graduated from the best university in Thailand and works in the local education department. She married into a prestigious local family! Her two sons are in high school and junior high school, respectively, and both are doing very well academically! It's clear that they are a very good family!"
Hearing this, Fu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "The fact that the three children are all motivated and ambitious shows that the elders have put their heart into it!"
“Yes!” Liu Meilan nodded. She was very confident that Hu Jian would recognize his relatives this time. “I called Sister Huizhen and asked her to get similar information from the official hall! He changed his name back then to avoid his enemies.”
Although Hu Jian was looking at the documents, he was also listening to others talk. He looked up and quickly asked, "Are our enemies still around? Are they safe abroad?"
Liu Meilan replied, "The enemy is dead, but all the documents were made under false names, even the property registration, so they didn't change them! Now that they've found you, you two can discuss it yourselves!"
"I don't want to change it either. After all, I served in the army, and that's an experience I'm proud of. Changing my name would be like I never existed before," Hu Jiansong said. "I sincerely thank you for helping me find out my identity information. At least I know where I come from!"
Liu Meilan asked, "Their identities make it impossible for them to come to Sifang Island, so we'll have to trouble you to receive them in the city!"
Hu Jian nodded, "Of course I know the island's rules, and I have no intention of reuniting with them on the island! We'll just move to the city, and I'll rent them a hotel nearby!"
Liu Meilan took a card out of her bag. "This is the hotel card. Just swipe it on this!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jian quickly waved his hand and refused, "Really, there's no need. I can afford to treat my biological parents to a few days' stay in a hotel! This is about recognizing my relatives, and I don't want everyone to suffer because of me!"
“I’ll represent my family!” Liu Meilan said with a smile. “Sister Xiufang and I will be hosting your family together. It won’t be a burden. We need to be polite and do our best to make sure they don’t feel slighted or that you are looked down upon!”
Zhang Xiufang and Hu Jian exchanged a glance, deeply moved. "Thank you, Meilan!"
Ye Qiang smiled and said, "Xiaoyu is pregnant! It's inconvenient for him to come and help with the hospitality, but I can! I'll take care of the male guests!"
Fu Chen looked apologetic. "Hu Jian, I'm sorry, I might not be available!"
“I was a soldier too, don’t I know?” Hu Jian quickly shook his head. “Our affairs are secondary, you just need to do your own thing!”
They roughly planned out the agenda for this gathering.
A week later, Liu Meilan helped carry the child, Zhang Xiufang brought a lot of clean clothes, and Xu Chongyang and Hu Xiaoli boarded the yacht together.
Xu Chongyang was hunched over a small table, working on a test paper! The yacht's ups and downs and rocking didn't affect the focused Xu Chongyang.
Zhang Xiufang felt sorry for Chongyang, "Originally, I didn't want him to take leave, but when I thought about how we're family now, we had to treat it as a family matter! We had to recognize each other properly!"
"It'll only take a day or so, it won't cause much of a delay!" Liu Meilan laughed. "I'll bring Chongyang back tonight, that'll be enough to fulfill my filial duty!"
Ultimately, Xu Chongyang is not Hu Jian's biological son. Although Hu Jian dotes on Xu Chongyang, in the eyes of Xu Chongyang's biological parents, he is not as important as Hu Xiaoli and Zhang Xiufang's newborn child, Hu Xiaoluo.
Zhang Xiufang nodded, "Yes! It's enough to be polite. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should at least give Fujian some face!"
Hu Xiaoli clung to Zhang Xiufang with a frightened expression, saying, "Auntie, I don't want my grandpa and grandma. They're so mean! They hit me, scold me, and won't give me food or water!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiufang quickly put down what she was holding and hugged Hu Xiaoli tightly. "This time, you're not meeting your original grandparents. Today, you're meeting your father's biological parents, your real grandparents!"
"Little Carp, remember this! No matter if we've officially become family, you'll always be our precious baby. We won't give you away to anyone else. Just consider this a visit to a relative!"
Hearing this, Hu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good! Auntie, I was so scared that you wouldn't want me anymore!"
Zhang Xiufang felt sorry for her and patted her back, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Although I am not your mother, Auntie really likes you very much and will love you like your mother does! Unless you don't want me and your father anymore one day, we will never abandon you!"
"Auntie, how could I not want you and Dad?" Hu Xiaoli said anxiously. "I know you're not my mom, but I know you treat me better than my mom! You cook delicious meals for me every day, buy me pretty clothes, and even do my hair beautifully! In my heart, you're the same as my biological mother! In the future, you'll have everything my biological mother has! And you'll have everything my biological mother doesn't have!"
Zhang Xiufang smiled. Although she didn't expect anything in return from Hu Xiaoli, Hu Xiaoli's words still made her very happy.
After disembarking from the yacht, Liu Meilan and her bodyguards assisted her to go to the residential area and tidy up her home.
Hu Jian went directly to the airport to pick up the person, with Ye Qiang accompanying him.
Seeing Hu Jian's nervousness, Ye Qiang couldn't help but comfort him, "You're such a grown man, why are you still nervous?"
Hu Jian nodded, "Of course I'm nervous! This is the first time I've met my biological parents in my entire life! I'm worried they're not kind people, and I'm also worried they won't like me! Sigh, I feel so pathetic!"
Ye Qiang patted Hu Jian on the shoulder, "What are you talking about? It's only human nature! Wasn't I even more awkward with my dad before? He's still my own father, you know. I would say those hurtful things to him while secretly hoping he would care more about me! Anyway, people are both simple and complicated!"
Meanwhile, the family on the plane was also filled with anxiety.
