Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 821: Chapter 821: My Last Name Is Sun

Tang Yue instantly knew that Lian Tong had misunderstood. She introduced, "Aunt, this is Sun Qing, these are Sun Qing’s parents, and this is Sun Qing’s sister, Sun Rou."

Tang Yue especially mentioned Sun Rou, who was the patient that had just been discharged from the hospital.

At first glance, they indeed looked very similar, but upon closer inspection, there were differences.

Lian Qingqing’s eyes were not as clear and bright as the Sun Rou standing before them. Sun Rou had a gentle disposition that was evident at first sight, her smile was sincere, and she appeared even more delicate and frail than Lian Qingqing.

Lian Tong was filled with doubts but restrained herself, considering that Sun Rou had just been discharged from the hospital. Hence, she did not say more.

In private, Lian Tong pulled Tang Yue aside and asked, "Xiao Yue, she looks exactly like Lian Qingqing. You wouldn’t say they have no relation at all, I surely wouldn’t believe it."

"I think she must be the twin sister of Lian Qingqing." Tang Yue touched her nose while answering.

Lian Tong couldn’t sit still. She pulled Sun Qing over and asked, "Sun Qing, Sun Rou is not your biological sister, is she?"

Sun Qing was confused as to why Tang Yue’s aunt had called her over. Upon hearing Lian Tong’s words, Sun Qing’s face instantly changed.

Sun Qing’s hands clenched tightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Sun Qing, she looks exactly like my... former niece, as if they were carved from the same mold." Lian Tong explained.

"Yes." Sun Qing nodded, answering, "My dad found my sister, Sun Rou, when he was selling tea in Yun City."

"At that time, Rou was having a high fever, and she was very young, maybe just a few months old. My dad couldn’t bear it, so he adopted her. She was fortunate enough to survive, although she’s a bit weak. But at least, she grew up." Sun Qing briefly explained what had happened over the years.

After Sun Qing finished speaking, she anxiously looked at Lian Tong and then at Tang Yue: "You call her aunt, so is Rou of the same generation as you?"

Tang Yue remained silent for a while and then said, "Yes."

"Then, are you going to take Rou back?" Sun Qing asked, eyes flashing with apprehension.

"I am my parents’ daughter; I don’t want to leave with anyone else."

Sun Rou suddenly stepped out, her eyes red, making her already slender figure seem like it could be swept away by a gust of wind, teetering on the brink.

"Sister."

Sun Qing was very surprised. She hadn’t expected that someone who had been sitting in the yard basking in the sun with her parents would come over, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, you will always be my sister."

"Sister, my surname is Sun." Sun Rou tightly held Sun Qing’s hand.

Sun Rou’s emotional state was, of course, not something Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun could ignore.

Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Sun also became aware of Sun Rou’s background, and Sun Rou pulled them along as she wanted to leave, unwilling to stay any longer.

Don’t be fooled by Sun Rou’s usual gentle weakness; once she made up her mind, no one could change it.

After bidding farewell to Tang Yue, Sun Qing hurriedly chased after them.

At this moment, Lian Tong’s mind was also in turmoil, her thoughts a muddled mess, unable to make sense of it all.

So, it meant that Xiang Yazhi really had two children back then, but one daughter was abandoned by her. Then what about Qingyang?

Sun Rou looks identical to Lian Qingqing, which means she couldn’t possibly be a twin with Qingyang.

So, does that mean Qingyang was adopted from somewhere?

Lian Tong slowly processed this, but something still seemed off. If Qingyang wasn’t a Lian family member, then how could he resemble her brother so closely?

But if he were biologically related, how could Xiang Yazhi have had three children within a year?

"Aunt." Tang Yue made a cup of hot tea for Lian Tong and said, "Aunt, we need to investigate the truth of the matter ourselves."

"Yes." Lian Tong nodded affirmatively, "We must find out the truth of this matter."

"Xiao Yue, how do you suppose Sun Rou ended up in distant Yun City?" Lian Tong couldn’t understand. Even if Xiang Yazhi wanted to adopt Qingyang, how could she abandon her biological daughter so far away?

If Sun Rou hadn’t been fortunate enough to be found by the Sun family, there might not even be a Sun Rou today.

Tang Yue’s eyes flickered as she said, "Aunt, if my guess is correct, it should have been human traffickers who initially planned to sell her in Yun City. But considering Sun Rou was unwell and young, no one wanted her, and thus she got abandoned in Yun City. Another theory is that Xiang Yazhi was afraid of being discovered, so she deliberately sent Sun Rou far away."

If Tang Yue had to consider the two hypotheses, she thought the first seemed more plausible.

The second thought may appear logical, but upon deeper consideration, it seemed unlikely. Had Xiang Yazhi truly known where her youngest daughter was all these years, how could she not have sought her out?

This was also the aspect that puzzled Tang Yue.

"Regardless of which it is, we need to get to the bottom of this." Lian Tong had always avoided discussing the matter of Lian Qingyang, which made Tang Yue sigh inwardly. Xiao Yang was really quite good. If it turned out he wasn’t a member of the Lian family, the Lian family might not treat him the same as they do now.

Originally, Lian Tong had been staying at Tang Yue’s place quite comfortably, but she immediately returned to the Lian family, taking Lian Qingyang’s hair with her.

This was something Lian Tong had taken quietly.

Returning to Sea City, Lian Tong found Lian He.

"You said people from Lian He went to the hospital?" Shen Jing, who had been nonchalant, immediately sat up straight upon hearing this.

"That’s correct," reported the informant.

Shen Jing’s eyes darkened.

Next to him, Xiang Yazhi nonchalantly said, "Didn’t you say let him investigate? Why are you having people keep an eye on it? Cousin, whose child do you think Lian Qingyang really is?"

"Naturally brought from somewhere else." Shen Jing deflected Xiang Yazhi’s inquiry effortlessly.

Xiang Yazhi pondered for a moment and asked, "What if it turns out Lian Qingyang isn’t Lian He’s son?"

"Wouldn’t that be better," Shen Jing raised his eyebrows, a playful smile on his lips, "It’s more entertaining this way. Think about it, Lian He discovering that the twin children he’s raised for twenty years aren’t his own—how will he react?"

Xiang Yazhi’s face froze, then she smiled and said, "If they’re not his children, he’ll be furious, but he’ll trouble me. Cousin, the Xiang family only has one company left."

Xiang Yazhi looked at Shen Jing eagerly. Currently, the Xiang family relied entirely on Shen Jing.

"Don’t worry, with me around, you won’t starve." Shen Jing lifted her chin, his mouth curling with smug satisfaction.

Imagining that scenario, Shen Jing felt that the many years hadn’t been wasted waiting.

At the hospital.

Handing the two samples to the doctor, Lian He was restless.

"Brother, no matter what, we must find out the truth." Lian Tong gritted her teeth, "Xiang Yazhi has gone too far, daring to mess with the Lian family like this. Brother, I think the Xiang family needs to be taught a lesson."

"The Xiang family’s only company is barely hanging on." Lian He insinuated.
