Chapter 691: Reunite

Night.

Hospital’s Accident and Emergency Department.

There are many patients and around twenty to thirty beds in the hall. The beds are close to each other, and it’s quite noisy and messy. Liu Chenlong does not like the noise, and he pulls the screen curtains around the bed. Dong Xuebing saw it and pulled the curtains on the other side.

Although the curtains cannot stop the noise in the hall, they will block out the messy hall from their sight.

Liu Chenlong looks at his watch. “How about I ask the hospital to prepare a private ward for you?”

Qian Lihua shook her head. “Don’t trouble yourself. We are leaving in a while.”

“It’s not troublesome. I met the hospital’s Deputy Director Fang a few times and knew him well.” Liu Chenlong replied.

Qian Lihua looked at Liu Chenlong and shook her head. “No need. I am going home after meeting Xiao Dong’s friends. My injuries are not serious.” Liu Chenlong nodded and held her hand.

Qian Lihua frowned and pulled her hand away.

Liu Chenlong felt embarrassed and looked towards Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing observed them and pretended not to see anything when Liu Chenlong turned his head.

“Xiao Dong.” Liu Chenlong said.

“Huh?” Dong Xuebing asked. “What is it?”

“Why are you so sure that we want to meet your friends? Who are they?”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I am very sure.”

Qian Lihua asked. “Is it some old friends we know?”

Dong Xuebing thought for a second and replied. “I am not sure if you two can recognize them.”

Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua were about to continue asking Dong Xuebing when they heard loud footsteps outside. Dong Xuebing looked out from the curtains and said to them. “They are here. I will bring them over. Please wait here for a while.” He said and walked out. He waved to Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian. “Sister Yu, Qianqian, over here!”

“Mum, it’s Uncle!” Yu Qianqian pointed towards Dong Xuebing and exclaimed.

Yu Meixia quickly pulled her daughter and walked towards Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing, I…. I…. They….” Dong Xuebing turns towards the bed, covered by the curtain screen. “They are over there. Let’s go.” Yu Meixia took a step and paused.

“What are you hesitating for? You are already here.” Yu Meixia thought for a while and continued walking with Yu Qianqian.

Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian before taking a deep breath and opening the curtains slowly. He pushed them in and closed the curtains.

Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua were talking softly when they heard the sound of curtains opening. They look up at the new visitors.

Yu Meixia is biting her lower lips nervously, and Yu Qianqian hides behind her.

Their eyes met.

Yu Meixia was mentally prepared for this meeting. Her eyes teared, and she trembled when she saw Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua.

Yu Qianqian is also looking at them nervously.

Liu Chenlong was stunned when he saw Yu Meixia.

Qian Lihua’s reaction was slower. She looked at Yu Meixia for a few seconds before her face changed to shock.

“This…. You…. you….” Liu Chenlong stood up and could almost guess it. He looked at Dong Xuebing in shock and held his shoulder. “Xiao Dong! What is going on? She…. Why is her face….? Hurry up and tell me what is going on!” The woman in front of him was the spitting image of his ex-wife when she was younger. Qian Lihua might be slower to realize this, but not Liu Chenlong. He had kept a picture of Qian Lihua during her younger days in his wallet.

Qian Lihua sat up on the bed immediately. “You…. You are….”

Yu Meixia kept quiet and hugged Qianqian.

Dong Xuebing saw Sister Yu keeping quiet and smiling. He gently pushes Liu Chenlong’s hand off his shoulder and says. “Uncle Liu, sit down first. I will explain everything.”

Liu Chenlong took a deep breath and did not sit down.

Qian Lihua reached out and held Liu Chenlong’s hand. She held his hand so tight until her nails dug into his flesh.

Liu Chenlong also held her hand tightly, and his eyes have never left Yu Meixia.

Dong Xuebing pulled a chair over for Yu Meixia, and he sat at the end of the bed. He looks at Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua. “Let me introduce you all first.” He points at Yu Meixia. “This is Yu Meixia, and this is her daughter, Yu Qianqian. Hmm…. It’s a long story. I met Sister Yu a long time ago when working at Yan Tai County Public Security. I met her by chance and hired her to be my helper. As we got to know each other better, she told me her parents in the countryside are not her birth parents. She might be bought or picked up from the roadside by them. She was too young to remember anything, and she hopes I can help her to find her birth parents.”

Qian Lihua’s eyes turned red when she heard this.

Liu Chenlong’s breathing got faster.

Dong Xuebing continued. “Maybe the gods are helping me. Uncle Liu, do you still remember our meeting in Japan? I was supposed to board my flight that day, but I did not. I even had a meal with you and asked you to help me amend my flight ticket.”

Liu Chenlong replied. “Of course.”

“That is because I saw Aunt Qian’s photograph in your wallet when you dropped it at the counter.” Qian Lihua looks at Liu Chenlong.

Liu Chenlong took out his wallet with his trembling hands and took out that old photograph.

“Yes. This is that photograph.” Dong Xuebing laughed. “I think it’s fated. When I saw the photograph, my first reaction was, ‘that is Sister Yu.’ The woman in the photograph looks exactly like her. Of course, many people look alike with each other in this world. So, I started asking about your family during our meal. You told me that you and Aunt Qian had a daughter named Dandan, and she went missing when she was five. I can almost confirm it, but I need to get Sister Yu’s opinion first. We are not 100% sure, so….”

Liu Chenlong suddenly remembers something. “We had a meal together when I visited Yan Tai County, and you mentioned a friend of yours might be joining us.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes. After our meal…. Err…. I…. I secretly took your glass and got someone to get your DNA specimen from it. I used your DNA and Sister Yu’s DNA for a Paternity test, and the result….”

“What’s the result?!” Liu Chenlong interrupted anxiously.

Qian Lihua also asked. “Hurry and tell us the result.” Dong Xuebing turns to Sister Yu. “Did you bring it?”

Yu Meixia nodded and took out a piece of paper from her pocket with trembling hands.

Dong Xuebing took it and gave it to Liu Chenlong. “This is the test result. You are Sister Yu’s father.”

Qian Lihua’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “Thank god….” Liu Chenlong looked at the result slip for a few seconds and couldn’t hold back his tears. “Great!”

Yu Meixia also cried. Yu Qianqian saw her mother crying and started sobbing too.

A few moments later, Qian Lihua jumps off the bed and hugs Yu Meixia. “My daughter is finally back!”

Liu Chenlong walked over and hugged Qian Lihua and Yu Meixia in his arms. “Dandan! You must have suffered all these years. We are sorry!”

Qian Lihua cried. “Sorry…. I had made you suffer.”

Yu Meixia shook her head. “It’s my fault.”

“Silly child.”

Qian Lihua cried. “Why is it your fault? It’s all our fault for not taking care of you. If we had been more careful, you would not be abducted.”

Liu Chenlong wiped the tears off Yu Meixia’s face. “You are finally back with us.”

Yu Meixia nodded while crying. She looks at them for a while and finally says. “Mum, Dad.” Liu Chenlong had been waiting for this for almost thirty years. Qian Lihua also cried. “My precious daughter….”

Yu Qianqian, who was standing beside him, was standing there in a daze. She wants to hug Yu Meixia, but Qian Lihua and Liu Chenlong hug her tightly. There’s no space for Qianqian to join in. She can only stand there looking at them while wiping her tears.

Dong Xuebing quickly cleared his throat to get their attention. “Ahem!”

Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua had finally found their long-lost daughter and didn’t hear anything.

Dong Xuebing is speechless. He held Qianqian’s hand and walked over. “Err…. Sorry to disturb you. Qianqian, this is your grandmother, and this is your grandfather.”

Yu Qianqian shyly greeted them. “Grandma, Grandpa.”

Liu Chenlong and Qian Lihua realized they had almost forgotten about their granddaughter.

“Good girl.” Liu Chenlong quickly acknowledged.

Qian Lihua released her arms around Yu Meixia and hugged Yu Qianqian. She kissed her. “My precious darling….” Her family is finally reunited after almost thirty years.
