By mid-August, Xia Xiao had planned to visit her mother’s home with Gao Jiaxing. Originally, she had intended to wait until August to return, but Gao Jiaxing was not at ease letting Xia Xiao go alone with the children. After all, Feiyang and Feiyue were at an age where mischief was their favorite pastime, and Xia Xiao also had to look after Feiyi, fearing she might not manage well. So, they decided she would accompany Xia Xiao to her mother’s house in a couple of days. Upon hearing that Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing were going back to S City, Xia Jing and Yan Hao decided to take leave and go with them, planning then not to return for the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, on the day before departue, the seventh of July, Yu Zhen brought her children and Xue Baozhu to the production team. Li Shengmei was naturally delighted to see her grandson, and both He Hongjun and Li Shengmei were very happy about Xue Baozhu’s arrival and treated her well. But Xue Baozhu was more concerned about the situation with the Gao family; her intentions were not pure. Maybe it was middle age hitting since the last time she saw Gao Jiaxing, Xue Baozhu’s yearning to see her son and acknowledge him privately had grown intense. Now, as her stepson Yu Shi and she were not close, Xue Baozhu kept thinking about her biological son. No matter how much she loved someone else’s son, she could never raise him as her own. So Xue Baozhu wanted to see her own son, whom she had struggled to bring into the world after ten months of pregnancy. Back then, for the sake of happiness, and also believing that Zheng Xiangyao would take good care of her son, she had given her child to Zheng Xianghong. She knew in her heart that Zheng Xianghong might hate her or might not let her acknowledge her son, but no matter what, she had come to seek forgiveness from Zheng Xianghong and her son. After dinner, Xue Baozhu disclosed her purpose for coming, mentioning she was once acquainted with Zheng Xianghong and wanted to meet her. Nowadays, Li Shengmei was not as bothered about Zheng Xianghong as before, but hearing Xue Baozhu was there to see Zheng Xianghong, she couldn’t help feeling a bit sour inside, thinking why it had to be Zheng Xianghong again. But facing her relative, Li Shengmei enthusiastically responded, "I know Zheng Xianghong well, I’ll take you there, okay?" Yu Zhen quickly shook her head and said to Li Shengmei, "Mom, can you watch Binbin for me? My mom and I will just go and come back soon." "That works," Li Shengmei nodded. Yu Zhen then led Xue Baozhu towards the Gao family home, Xue Baozhu gazing all around the production team, touched by the thought that her own son had grown up in such an environment. When they were nearly at the Gao family’s house, Yu Zhen pointed it out to Xue Baozhu, "Mom, this is the place." Xue Baozhu looked at the Gao family home in front of her, thinking it was too small with just a few rooms and a little yard. Considering Gao Guoqiang was the head of the production team, why hadn’t he built a larger house? When Xue Baozhu and Yu Zhen arrived, Weilin, along with a few other boys, was playing in the yard. Seeing Xue Baozhu and Yu Zhen, she asked, "Who are you looking for?" Xue Baozhu’s gaze rested on Weilin before moving to the few boys, her eyes filled with eagerness. At that moment, Gao Guoqiang was not at home, Zheng Xianghong was in the canteen, and only Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao, Gao Jiazhi, and Sun Yuhua were at home. Xia Xiao was cooking in the kitchen, Gao Jiazhi and Gao Jiaxing were chatting in the hall, and Sun Yuhua was sleeping in her room. Hearing Weilin’s voice, Gao Jiazhi, who was sitting near the door, stretched his head out to see Yu Zhen and a middle-aged woman, and he froze. Gao Jiaxing also stood up and looked outside, equally stunned, then his lips pressed together, never expecting Yu Zhen to bring Xue Baozhu to the Gao family home. Gao Jiaxing walked out and said, "Dr. Xue, Comrade Yu Zhen, what brings you here?" "Jiazhi," Xue Baozhu became somewhat agitated upon seeing Gao Jiaxing, but as soon as Gao Jiazhi emerged from behind Jiaxing, she was taken aback and stood frozen in place. If she hadn’t seen Gao Jiazhi, Xue Baozhu would have continued thinking that Gao Jiaxing was her son. However, upon seeing Jiazhi, she recognized him at a glance and was even sure he was her son. "You... you..." Xue Baozhu’s fingers trembled. If at first, she thought Jiaxing’s silhouette greatly resembled Zheng Xiangwei, then Jiazhi’s face was undeniably like Xiangwei’s. How could Xue Baozhu not recognize him? "Comrade Yu Zhen, who is this?" Gao Jiazhi asked Yu Zhen. He had already confirmed it in his heart but pretended otherwise. "This is my mother, an old friend of Comrade Xiang Hong. She happened to have some time to accompany me to my in-laws, so she also came for a visit. I’m not sure if Comrade Xiang Hong is home," Yu Zhen said with a smile. "Not at home. You’ll have to come another day," Gao Jiazhi said. Now that they were here, how could they possibly come another day, especially since Zheng Xianghong wasn’t away on a distant journey? "Is Comrade Xiang Hong out? Then I will wait," said Xue Baozhu. At this point, Xia Xiao also came out and, upon seeing Yu Zhen and Xue Baozhu, instantly understood and chose to remain silent. Regarding the fact that Xue Baozhu was Jiazhi’s biological mother, neither Xia Xiao nor Jiaxing could really comment, as they weren’t directly involved. Was Xue Baozhu planning to identify her son at their doorstep? "Weilin, go and call Grandma back," said Jiaxing, eventually breaking the silence. He felt that since Xue Baozhu had visited, it was better to clarify the situation. Dragging it out wasn’t going to solve anything. The rıghtful source is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 As for whether his elder brother wanted to acknowledge Xue Baozhu, that was his brother’s choice, and Jiaxing didn’t feel it was his place to comment. Upon hearing this, Weilin immediately ran outside, followed by Feiyang and Feiyue. Feiyi wanted to follow, but after seeing his siblings speeding off, he burst into crying. Xia Xiao walked over, picked up Feiyi, and comforted him until he stopped crying. Jiaxing came over to take Feiyi, while Xia Xiao went back to the kitchen to cook, as it was dinner time. Soon, Sun Yuhua also awoke, leaving Yu Zhen and Xue Baozhu baffled as to who these people were. Shortly after, Zheng Xianghong returned home. Upon seeing Xue Baozhu, her eyes widened, she gasped for breath, and her eyes filled with anger, "What are you doing here?" "Xiang Hong," Xue Baozhu quickly called out to Zheng Xianghong. "How dare you come here?" Zheng Xianghong looked as if she wanted to tear Xue Baozhu apart. Yu Zhen and Xue Baozhu jumped in fright. Yu Zhen quickly intervened, "Comrade Xiang Hong, please calm down." Watching her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren all looking on, Zheng Xianghong tried to calm herself and said to Xue Baozhu, "Come with me." As Zheng Xianghong started walking outside, Xue Baozhu hurriedly called out, "Xiang Hong, let’s talk at home?" "You wish, Xue Guiying," Zheng Xianghong said, completely furious. "Forget any thoughts you have. You’ve been gone for over thirty years; stay gone. Go back to where you came from, or don’t expect any face-saving from me." "Xiang Hong," Xue Baozhu burst into tears, "Xiang Hong, isn’t it enough that I’m admitting my mistakes? Have a little pity on me."
