Chapter 830: I Already Had Her!
Editor: Henyee Translations
From Grandma Xiao’s conversation with them, Gu Yang learned that Old Master Xiao had two sons.
Xiao Yize’s father, Xiao Dingkun, had only one son. Both father and son were dedicated to serving the country.
Xiao Yize also had a second uncle named Xiao Zhenggan, who had two sons, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Che.
The family members often stayed in the army or went on missions, rarely returning home.
Unlike other aristocratic families, all three generations of the Xiao family were deeply committed to their country.
Their ancestors were known for their loyalty.
After lunch at the Xiao family’s house, Tong Wan took Gu Yang and Gu Jin for a walk in the garden.
Xiao Yize followed along.
The house was sheltered by old trees, and the weather was pleasantly cool.
“Auntie Tong’s mental state has returned to normal,” Gu Yang affirmed.
Upon hearing this, Tong Wan looked at Xiao Yize with a smug expression. “See, Yangyang already said I’m fine. You two don’t believe her.”
Xiao Yize was slightly stunned and hesitated. “Mother, but…”
Tong Wan urged, “But what? What’s there to hesitate about? Just say it. I wasn’t even agitated when the Ye family came just now. You don’t have to worry.”
Seeing Gu Yang nod in agreement, Xiao Yize finally voiced his question with relief. “But why do you still insist that my sister is still alive? Wasn’t she aborted?”
At the mention of the child, Tong Wan’s expression shifted slightly, but she did not have a mental breakdown like she did in the hospital.
She looked at Xiao Yize sharply and spoke in an agitated and angry tone, “So you didn’t believe me before?”
“You don’t believe she’s still alive? So you were lying to me when you said you were sending people to search for her?”
Seeing Xiao Yize nodding, Tong Wan grew even more incensed.
Recognizing her agitation, Gu Yang reached out and gently stroked her back, trying to calm her. “Auntie Tong, please calm down.”
Xiao Yize and the others believed their sister was no longer alive, while you firmly believed she was. There seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere.
“It’s good that we’ve talked it through. Nowadays, with advanced technology, it’s much easier to locate people than it used to be,” Gu Yang remarked, subtly using psychological techniques to soothe Tong Wan.
Though still somewhat upset, Tong Wan’s agitation had notably subsided.
Xiao Yize fell silent for a moment before continuing, “After the plane accident, local villagers heard the commotion and immediately went up the mountain to search for her.”
“When my father and I arrived, you had already been taken to the nearest hospital in Liang City, unconscious.”
“By then, your sister was no longer present. The doctor concluded she must have miscarried or given birth during the plane crash.”
“The scene was chaotic with blood everywhere, including on your body. Father organized a search on the mountain, but they only found the remains of others.”
Xiao Yize was just five years old at the time, but his unusually early maturity as a Mutant gave him a remarkable memory of many things from that period.
Under such critical circumstances, Tong Wan was fortunate to have survived at all. No one dared to hope that she could have preserved the fetus inside her.
“At that time, your condition was extremely critical. The medical standards in Liang City were limited, so Father brought you back to the capital for treatment. Unfortunately, despite saving your life, you never regained consciousness,” Xiao Yize’s voice carried a weighty sadness.
In that plane crash 18 years ago, nearly everyone perished. Tong Wan survived, but she remained in a vegetative state.
Tong Wan was stunned upon hearing this. Grief filled her eyes as she sobbed, “Yize, you searched the crash site, but you didn’t find her? I had already given birth to her by then!”
