Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Jinming saw that the time was ripe and it was time for Chu Xiaoran to meet him, so he took Chu Xiaoran's hand and walked step by step through the messy entrance into the beggars' den.

"Excuse me, I'm bringing my wife here to recognize my relatives."

Xuan Fenghua looked in the direction of the voice and saw two neatly dressed people, a man and a woman, standing in front of him. They had bright and handsome appearances, and the man had a gentle look, but there was a lot of worry in his eyes.

The woman has a scholarly air, but also an inexplicable aura. As long as she stands here, she always gives people a sense of security.

The man looked up at the young man and woman in front of him in disbelief. Looking at Chu Xiaoran's face, his eyes reddened, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Excuse me, you two. We are looking for someone. Is there anyone with the surname Lin who has ever been a nanny in the Chu family?"

Nan Jinming was very polite when he spoke. He did not treat them as inferior or lowly people. He just smiled and asked them if they knew this person.

"Like... so similar."

The man looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him and talked to himself. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for everyone present to hear.

Chu Xiaoran frowned. He only had a rough impression. In his memory, the nanny had been by his side since he was born. At that time, the nanny was very gentle, and he always looked tender and affectionate.

Chu Xiaoran had never seen his father, but he felt that as long as he looked at his nanny he could see his own father.

"Father Lin..."

Chu Xiaoran called out tentatively, but saw the man sitting there blankly, looking at Chu Xiaoran in front of him, his eyes sore and red, his throat choked, and he almost couldn't say a thousand words.

Xuan Fenghua also guessed the identities of the two people in front of him. He was afraid that these two people were the ones his father asked him to find. This man must be the eldest son of the Chu family.

"You are... Ran'er!"

Uncle Lin couldn't stop crying. His skinny appearance made people feel sad. His clothes were tattered and dirty, as if they hadn't been washed for a long time.

Chu Xiaoran walked up to him and stared at his sunken cheeks. His skinny appearance made others feel distressed.

"Father Lin, why didn't you want me in the first place..."

Chu Xiaoran felt some resentment in his heart. He didn't know why Grandpa Lin left without saying goodbye, but after he was five years old, there was no one around him who could help him. He had to survive in the mansion since he was five years old. He was too tired, and all his calculations and plans were for the purpose of survival.

He had felt resentment and hatred. Why did Grandpa Lin leave?

He may not have understood the difference when he was young, but now he understands that difference will always exist, and he has been enduring and waiting.

"Sir, don't... don't touch me, I'm dirty."

Seeing Chu Xiaoran approaching him step by step, Nanny Lin hurriedly pulled Xuan Fenghua's people and signaled her to stop Chu Xiaoran from approaching.

Xuan Fenghua stood in front of Chu Xiaoran, holding the purple jade pendant in both hands. She looked only about ten years old. Although her clothes were tattered, she looked very clean. It was just that her hair was a little difficult to take care of, so it always gave off an unpleasant smell.

"You must be the eldest son of the Chu family. Since you are here, this jade pendant will be returned to its original owner."

Chu Xiaoran looked at the jade pendant held in Xuan Fenghua's small hand. It was smooth and transparent, with obvious purple jade and warm green jade. There was a hollow phoenix on the jade pendant.

Nan Jinming's eyes fell on the jade pendant. This was the jade pendant from his previous life, so this jade pendant belonged to Chu Xiaoran, so... if what happened in his previous life was different from what happened now.

So did Chu Xiaoran find Xuan Fenghua himself, or did Xuan Fenghua find him?

If she had not followed Xuan Fenghua to the beggars' den, she would not have been able to hear so much information, nor would she have known the mystery of Xiao Ran's life experience. It turned out that everything was a fog, and she herself was standing in the vast dust of the world, unable to explain herself clearly.

"Ran'er, this is the only thing your father left you, take it quickly."

Nan Jinming turned to look at Chu Xiaoran and touched his back, knowing that he also found it difficult to accept the truth, but some things had to be faced. Keep avoiding it would only dig big holes for himself and eventually make him fall.

Nan Jinming's voice was gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.

Chu Xiaoran reached out and took the jade pendant from Xuan Fenghua's hand. The moment he touched the jade pendant, the face of a man he had never seen before appeared in his mind. It seemed like himself, but also like someone else.

"Cough cough cough... Poof!"

Uncle Lin, who was half lying on the tattered mat nearby, suddenly started coughing violently and spit out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes.

"Daddy!"

Xuan Fenghua turned around and knelt beside Nanny Lin. Nanny Lin's eyelids felt heavy. He forced himself to look at Xuan Fenghua in front of him and said, "Fenghua, I'm sorry. It's Daddy's fault for giving birth to you and not being able to give you a good life... I'm afraid I have to leave you behind this time."

Xuan Fenghua's eyes were extremely moist, and drops of moisture were about to fall. The marks left by a sharp object scratching were clearly visible between his brow bones.

"No, Daddy, you will live a long life. I will definitely find Mom and help you get that unfaithful woman back."

Nanny Lin sighed slightly and his eyes fell on Chu Xiaoran.

"Sir, I am sorry for you. I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime. Let Fenghua serve you by your side. It will also be considered as giving her a meal. She has a very good character. You..."

Chu Xiaoran nodded repeatedly. How could he refuse? The resentment in his heart had disappeared without a trace when he saw the current state of Grandpa Lin. In the end, he softened his heart and was still unwilling to treat the person who had betrayed him coldly.

"Don't worry, I won't treat her unfairly."

Chu Xiaoran made a promise to Nanny Lin.

As soon as Chu Xiaoran finished speaking, Nanny Lin closed his eyes.

"Daddy!"

There were shrill cries coming from the beggars' den.
