Chapter 422: Chapter 421: A Late-Night Visit

To his surprise, his mother might not be dead.

But what’s puzzling is...

If his mother is not dead, then why did the old man say she died and even brought back an urn?

What’s the reason behind all this?

Or could there be another hidden truth?

And if his mother really isn’t dead, then why didn’t she come back or see him for so many years?

Could she abandon her husband?

Could she also abandon her child?

"I’ll ask Xingxing again." After calming down, Sheng Zexi decided he needed to ask Xingxing for more details.

"Okay."

Soon, Xingxing was called into the room.

They talked about what happened during the day again.

When Sheng Zexi heard the woman claim to be A wan, his heart couldn’t help but beat faster.

At this moment, Xingxing seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Dad and Mom, I remember Grandma calling that foreign man Henry."

Henry?

Sheng Zexi murmured to himself.

This Henry seems to be a key figure.

It’s just unclear what the relationship between Henry and the person who is likely his mother is.

According to Xingxing’s description, they seem to be very close.

"Dad, I couldn’t be mistaken, that is Grandma." Xingxing held Sheng Zexi’s hand, eyes filled with certainty.

Sheng Zexi touched Xingxing’s head and said, "Dad believes Xingxing, but there are still some things that need to be verified."

"So, Xingxing must keep this secret for now and not tell Great Grandpa and Great Grandma, okay?"

If mom really is alive, that would be a great joy for everyone.

But if it’s a mistake.

Letting them know in advance would only lead to false joy, wouldn’t it?

They are old now, and might not be able to endure too much joy or sorrow.

Xingxing nodded, "Dad, I understand."

"Good, go play then."

After Xingxing left, Sheng Zexi made a decision.

"Ningning, let’s go to the Sheng Family’s old house now."

"I think some things need to be confirmed in person."

"Only he knows some inside information."

Gu Jia Ning knew that the he Sheng Zexi mentioned was Sheng Xinhao.

She stepped forward, held Sheng Zexi’s hand, and said, "Okay, I’ll go with you."

Grandma Sang was quite surprised when she learned that Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi were going out.

"It’s so late at night, where are you going?" Grandma Sang was a bit puzzled.

"It’s nothing, we just plan to take a stroll." Sheng Zexi didn’t tell the truth.

Grandma Sang sensed it too and didn’t ask further.

"Alright, just be careful driving at night and come back early."

"Okay."

Sheng Zexi looked at Grandma Sang, stared for a few seconds, then suddenly moved forward to hug her.

Surprised by the sudden embrace, Grandma Sang froze for a moment, then chuckled and patted his back, "What’s gotten into you?"

Sheng Zexi shook his head, not saying much.

Then he took Gu Jia Ning and got into the car, driving towards the Sheng Family’s old house.

The Sheng Family’s old house was in a large compound.

At the gate, the guard almost recognized Sheng Zexi at first sight when he was stopped.

The guard was an elderly man, an old grandfather.

He had been a guard at the compound for many years, and had watched Sheng Zexi grow up.

He vaguely knew about the conflict between Sheng Zexi and Sheng Xinhao.

He also knew that Sheng Zexi hadn’t returned for many years.

Seeing Sheng Zexi return so suddenly, especially this late, he was quite surprised.

"Ze Xi, you’re back."

"Yes, Grandpa Zhou, I’m back."

"Good to have you back, good to have you back, there’s no overnight feud between father and son, your dad has often been thinking of you."

"Now that you’re back, he’ll definitely be happy."

"He’s at home now, go in quickly."

"Alright, thank you, Grandpa Zhou."

So, the car drove into the compound.

After getting out of the car, Sheng Zexi looked around at the familiar environment, feeling a lot of emotions.

Gu Jia Ning had never been there before, but Xingxing and Yueyue had been brought here several times by Sheng Xinhao.

Even though Sheng Xinhao had invited them to visit the old house before, they never came.

But now, it was the first time.

Sheng Zexi held Gu Jia Ning’s hand, "Let’s go."

"Mm."

At this moment, inside the Sheng Family’s old house.

Sheng Xinhao was sitting alone in the living room, the TV was on, making the room less quiet.

Yet inexplicably, Sheng Xinhao felt it was empty and lonely.

He lost his parents in his childhood, his wife in his youth, and in middle to old age, his son became distant from him.

Sheng Xinhao felt he had spent his life in high positions.

Yet, there was no one close by, which was quite sad.

"A Xi, that stubborn kid, it’s like he’s bull-headed, told him many times he could come home for a visit, yet he never did."

Muttering to himself, Sheng Xinhao felt a bit aggrieved.

He knew he made mistakes back then.

He tried to make amends, but some things couldn’t be undone.

He remembered A Xi once said that for him to forgive, his mother would have to come back to life.

Sheng Xinhao lowered his eyes, looking at the photo album on his lap.

On the album were photos of their family of three taken years ago.

Sheng Xinhao gently rubbed the image of the beautiful woman with his thumb.

Muttering, "A wan, I also wish you could come back to life."

If, if back then A wan hadn’t died from her illness, would everything have been different?

When Sheng Zexi entered, this was the scene he saw.

An old man sitting on the sofa, the cold white light of the lamp highlighting his gray hair, his back once so straight he could run with him on his back, now slightly hunched, and even those shoulders that once seemed to hold up the sky now appeared somewhat desolate.

A sense of solitude and loneliness inexplicably surrounded him.

And the aging that comes with time, bringing weakness and frailty.

For some reason, Sheng Zexi felt a pang in his heart.

Right then, Sheng Xinhao, who was lost in thoughts while touching the photo, suddenly heard a sound.

He looked up.

And saw Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning entering hand in hand, he was stunned for a moment, then delighted.

"Why are you here?" His voice was full of surprise, he put down the photo album and stood up quickly, with a smile on his face.

Sheng Zexi raised an eyebrow, instinctively retorting, "Why, don’t you want us to come?"

Gu Jia Ning: ?

Gu Jia Ning patted his hand.

This guy, his mouth is sharp.

He’s been sharp since the day I met him.

Later, after getting married, he never spoke sharply to her but did so to others.

After Gu Jia Ning patted him, Sheng Zexi pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

"Why not, you’re always welcome to come," In the past, if Sheng Zexi had made such a response, Sheng Xinhao would have felt his authority as a father was being challenged and would have been angry.

But now, he wasn’t angry at all.
