When Duan Jiajia heard this, she subconsciously sat up straight: "What do you mean?"
Talking about her grandparents nicely?
Hu Lai raised his hands slightly, fearing that Duan Jiajia would be too excited: "Don't be anxious yet. How about we eat first and find a place to talk slowly after dinner?"
"Let's talk now. Talk while eating." As he said that, Duan Jiajia stirred the borscht and took a big mouthful.
She wouldn't let her appetite be affected by something she didn't even know about.
"Okay." Hu Lai shrugged, remembering that Duan Jiajia was not an ordinary girl: "This matter is also very simple. I think you should have heard from Chen Zhengnian that there is a little aunt in my family, who is known to the outside world as The missing thing.”
Duan Jiajia nodded.
Chen Zhengnian also reminded her not to mention it in front of Hu Lai. This was a secret that no one in the Hu family wanted to mention.
Hu Lai wiped his mouth, but he couldn't eat anymore after talking about this.
"My little aunt has passed away many years ago, and she is in the cemetery in the capital. She was a sacrifice, so she is also a martyr." Hu Lai sighed: "It's just that at that time, we didn't know that my little aunt was pregnant. In addition, there was a lot of prejudice against these things in that era, so there was no news about my little aunt’s pregnancy.”
Because he was in a restaurant outside, Hu Lai originally wanted to light a cigarette, but in the end he just held the cigarette and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, looking a little depressed: "I'd better start from the beginning."
In fact, after hearing this place, Duan Jiajia had some vague guesses about what Hu Lai was going to say next.
It was just that Hu Lai was in a bad mood, so he didn't interrupt him.
"As for the Hu family, there used to be a close family friend in Beijing. They were friends since my great-grandfather's generation. Later, my great-grandfather took all the family property to go to war, and he didn't forget to take it with him. My grandfather, who had just gotten married, was supported by that family at that time and did a lot of things that benefited the country and the people. In my aunt's generation, my aunt was an old woman and was very pampered by her family. At that time, she was just like that family. My younger son has a good relationship. Originally, the two parents were planning to get married, but my aunt somehow got close to the boss of the family. It happened to be a time when things were not good for the wealthy, and the family took advantage of the situation when the situation was still relaxed. We ran to Xiangjiang, but the eldest son stayed behind for my little aunt."
"As you can imagine later, my little aunt and the eldest son of that family were also under a lot of pressure at that time. Otherwise, they were the eldest young masters, and they were so handsome. Even though they had their tail between their legs here, they could still follow others. We have a good relationship with our confidante. The Hu family was not happy that my little aunt has been entangled in emotional matters and expressed opposition several times. As a result..." Hu Lai shook his head with a wry smile.
He has read many literary and artistic works and many novels.
When the relationship is deep, you still want to break it up. How is this possible?
"Later, the environment here became worse and worse, and the young master actually left without saying goodbye. When my aunt came home from get off work, she saw that the house was empty, and she didn't even leave a letter. It was only after my grandfather asked someone to ask that he found out. She ran away. For this reason, my little aunt was closely observed for a long time. No one noticed any changes in her body after she returned home. It was winter again at that time, and she wore very thick clothes."
When something like this happened, the Hu family was naturally furious.
For this reason, Grandpa Hu became very angry and used such a harsh tone to teach his daughter a lesson for the first time.
"My little aunt was already angry, and her work was affected because of these things. My little aunt has a strong character and just wants to get things done. Regardless of her health, she took the task and went out alone. Once you leave, you will never come back.”
The next time he appears in front of the Hu family is his body.
"So..." Duan Jiajia probably guessed what Hu Lai meant, so he just said: "Are you sure?"
Hu Lai shook his head, but then nodded: "I'm not sure, but I'm 90% sure. You and your father are very similar to my little aunt. Especially since your surname is Duan, that family is also surnamed Duan."
Originally there were only a few percent guesses, but because of the surnames of Duan Shunan and Duan Jiajia, these few percent guesses have become certain.
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
The Duan family father and daughter look similar to their little aunt, especially Duan Shunan.
Their surname is Duan, which is not the same as that man's. This name also fits the naming style of the Duan family.
"Does my dad know?" Duan Jiajia asked.
Hu Lai didn't expect Duan Jiajia to be so calm, thinking of his elder brother's behavior: "It's probably going to be soon. My elder brother is doing a DNA test, and as soon as it is confirmed, he will tell your father. However, we all think there will be nothing." It’s unexpected.”
Hu Lai believed in Hu Peng's ability and judgment.
Ever since he was young, as long as Hu Peng was determined, there was nothing he couldn't do.
"My eldest brother has always been very safe in doing things. Moreover, he knows my little aunt better than I do. My little aunt is only a few years older than my eldest brother. They grew up together. When we were in the capital, he was also the one who recognized you at a glance. Recognized."
Duan Jiajia looked at Hu Lai in front of her, and then remembered that Chen Zhengnian had told her about the Hu family's abilities.
It is impossible to say that there is no wave in my heart.
Especially, her father actually has relatives?
This has never happened before!
Because of what happened now, Duan Jiajia sometimes didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.
Since everything here is recreated one-to-one according to the real world, are Hu Lai and her in the real world really related?
The unexpected discovery this time was because Duan Jiajia and Hu Lai knew each other and were seen by Hu Peng again.
Without his fate with Hu Lai, no matter how high Duan Shunan's later achievements were, they would still be people from two different worlds.
Especially when Duan Jiajia just calculated that according to the time when her father would take off completely, Hu Peng would have retired by then.
The people in the Hu family who have the deepest impression of the little aunt will pass away one by one over time. Even if the people left behind see Duan Shunan, they will not be able to find any similarities because of Duan Shunan's old age.
"This matter..." Duan Jiajia took a deep breath, not knowing whether he hoped this matter was true or not.
Hu Lai could now faintly see Duan Jiajia's excitement and nervousness, and felt normal in his heart.
Acknowledge your kin!
If Duan Jiajia remained calm about such an important matter, Hu Lai would think that Duan Jiajia, a child, has too much mental endurance.
He couldn't even keep calm on this matter, so only someone like his brother could.
"Don't worry." Hu Lai poured a drink for Duan Jiajia and said, "Leave this matter to my elder brother and your father. As for us, we can just wait for the answer when the time comes. Everything else has nothing to do with us."
