Chapter 428: Chapter 427: Dad and Great-Grandma Are Going to Yangcheng to Find Someone

Grandma Sang’s heart tightened, and she glared at him, "You old man, what nonsense are you talking about? What could we possibly be hiding from you?"

Grandpa Sang shuddered at his wife’s glare, his shoulders shrinking back and his voice growing softer.

"I was just speaking casually."

"Who knows if you all might be hiding some delicious food from me."

Grandma Sang and Gu Jia Ning exchanged a glance, both caught between laughter and tears.

Because of his health issues, Grandpa Sang had to avoid certain foods, and usually ate quite bland meals.

But he just couldn’t resist his cravings and would sometimes sneak bites.

Every time Grandma Sang caught him, he’d get a scolding.

And every time Grandma Sang ate something he couldn’t, he’d look on eagerly.

Just like an old child, sometimes leaving his wife exasperated yet amused.

"Alright then, if you want to go, then come along." In the end, Grandma Sang relented.

Grandpa Sang felt relieved immediately.

They should’ve agreed to this earlier, hmph, no way they’d leave him behind to gobble up all the good food secretly.

However...

The grumble Grandpa Sang uttered just now wasn’t without reason.

He just felt like his wife and grandson were hiding something from him.

His intuition was never wrong.

Perhaps this trip to Yangcheng was for something covert.

So, he wanted to tag along and see.

But...

"Xingxing, come here."

After Grandma Sang and Gu Jia Ning got back to their tasks, Grandpa Sang called Xingxing over after school to a corner.

"Xingxing, do you know what your great-grandma and parents are taking you to Yangcheng for?"

Xingxing looked at his great-grandpa and said, "Mom says they’re taking us to the Guangzhou Trade Fair."

The Guangzhou Trade Fair?

Yes, that’s what his wife and granddaughter-in-law had said.

"Just that? Nothing else?"

"Xingxing, you are closer to your great-grandpa, and doesn’t he treat you well? You shouldn’t lie to great-grandpa."

Xingxing: ...

No, great-grandpa, the one I’m closest to is Mom.

However...

Xingxing also knew his great-grandpa treated him very well.

Actually, Xingxing had been instructed beforehand.

He was told great-grandpa had high blood pressure, so for now, don’t mention anything about grandma to him.

So naturally, Xingxing didn’t dare to say anything.

But, if he didn’t tell great-grandpa anything, Xingxing felt bad.

Xingxing thought, maybe he could say something, just a little.

He thought, even though great-grandpa’s blood pressure was high, knowing a little shouldn’t hurt.

And it’s good to be prepared.

What if, during their trip to Yangcheng, great-grandpa suddenly encountered grandma?

Wouldn’t that shock him?

Xingxing thought it made sense.

So, under Grandpa Sang’s eager gaze, Xingxing leaned over and whispered, "I’ll tell great-grandpa, but great-grandpa can’t let anyone else know, okay? And don’t say it was me who told you."

Grandpa Sang: I just asked casually, I didn’t expect there really was something.

"Alright, you say it, great-grandpa promises you."

"Okay, this time dad, mom, and great-grandma going to Yangcheng is to look for someone."

Look for someone?

"Who are they looking for?"

Xingxing covered his mouth with both hands, shaking his head, indicating he wouldn’t say.

Grandpa Sang: Oh well, that’s it then.

Xingxing didn’t say more and ran off.

Grandpa Sang didn’t probe further.

They’re looking for someone, who could it be?

Never heard of them having any friends in Yangcheng?

Grandpa Sang thought for a while, couldn’t figure it out, and just decided not to dwell on it.

Forget it, forget it, since he’s going with them anyway, he’ll know once they get there.

-

After Sheng Zexi sorted out the leave, they packed their bags and headed to the airport, ready to depart for Yangcheng.

Yet at the airport, they saw someone a bit unexpected, but not too surprising.

"What are you doing here?" Sheng Zexi raised an eyebrow at Sheng Xinhao, who stood before him, accompanied by a guard holding a suitcase.

Sheng Xinhao, seeming justified, said, "If you’re going, then as..." Naturally, I have to go too."

His earlier words were swallowed when he saw Grandpa and Grandma Sang.

Sheng Zexi inwardly sneered, As what? As his mother’s husband?

This person, didn’t he marry someone new a year after his mom "died"?

Now he’s acting all sentimental?

Moreover, back then, if this person had seen through that man Henry’s tricks, his mother wouldn’t have "died" these past ten years.

So, Sheng Zexi naturally offered him no pleasantries.

But if he wanted to come along, Sheng Zexi wouldn’t reject him.

Thus, Sheng Xinhao boarded the plane with them.

The others knew why Sheng Xinhao was coming along.

But Grandpa Sang seemed a bit puzzled.

Why was this old fellow tagging along?

Like an annoying follower.

However, Grandpa Sang didn’t overthink it, reckoning Sheng Xinhao was aiming to mend his relationship with his grandson’s family.

Hmph, that old fellow, what good will this do now?

Back when Xiao Xi was young and needed him, where was he?

Married someone new and treated Xiao Xi poorly.

It was only because A wan died.

If A wan were alive, she’d definitely scold this old fellow fiercely!

Such a pity, his dear A wan.

Gone too soon at such a young age.

He understood, with infectious diseases it wasn’t Sheng Xinhao’s fault.

Back then, Sheng Xinhao had tried to stop A wan from going.

But A wan insisted on going.

Ah, destiny it seems.

Perhaps recalling his deceased daughter saddened Grandpa Sang.

After a few hours of flying, their plane landed in Yangcheng.

Due to the special status of this group, their travel plans had to be reported in advance.

So, once their intent to go to Yangcheng was known, the local government there was informed.

Upon landing, they were warmly welcomed by the local government officials in Yangcheng.

They were also checked into the best hotel.

And designated hosts were appointed for their stay.

After settling in, the children, tired from the flight, crashed on their beds.

Sheng Zexi headed out to discuss with his father, Sheng Xinhao, plans to search for Sang Yuwan in Yangcheng.

Gu Jia Ning remained in the room, unpacking and watching over the three kids.

In her spare time, she browsed through the System Mall, hoping to find something that might help locate her mother-in-law.

In fact, after learning that her mother-in-law might be alive, she started scouring the System Mall.

However, with so many items in the System Mall, she had to search through each one diligently.

She hadn’t found anything in the past few days.

But she hadn’t given up.

So now, with some time, she was searching again.

Originally, she thought she might not find anything this time either.

Unexpectedly, she did find something.

"Mother-Child Device?"

Gu Jia Ning looked at the description of this so-called Mother-Child Device, and it was just like its name, intended for mothers and children.
