Chapter 431: Grandma, You Are Awake Now

Zhou Heng did not manage to hear what Yue Wanqing said clearly. He asked, “What did you say?”

“Oh, nothing.” Yue Wanqing shook her head and said, “I was thinking, Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou have been searching for Dou Dou for 40 years now. I believe that if Dou Dou knows about it, she would definitely be very very happy, because she did not get dumped by her family. Although she was an orphan, she had parents who loved her so much.”

Zhou Heng noticed that Yue Wanqing looked a little depressed as she spoke. She also seemed to be happy at the same time. These two emotions were combined on her face, and it made her refined features look even more warm, and he looked on in a blur.

A particular spot in his heart was moved, and he felt very soft.

Zhou Heng still wanted to speak, but at this moment: Knock knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air, and Zhou Dayuan walked in.

“Grandpa, the results of the DNA test are in.” Zhou Dayuan handed the report over to Grandpa.

“Dad.” What a coincidence. A few people came into the room. Zhou Dao, Kong Lan and Tong Li all arrived behind him.

Tong Li came forward quickly. She stretched her hand out to hold Zhou Heng’s elbow as she said, “Dad, are the results from the DNA test in already? Am I actually your biological daughter or not?”

Zhou Heng looked at the last page of the report carefully. There was surprise and joy on his smiling elderly face, “Dou Dou, you are really Dad’s daughter.”

“Really?” Tong Li listened on and jumped up immediately to give Zhou Heng a large hug. “Dad, this is great, I have finally found my biological father! Do you know how many hardships I went through these past few years. My husband despised that I came from a poor background. He would hit me whenever he drank, and even my mother-in-law saw that I didn’t have any parents and would make life difficult for me because she looked down on me. Dad, will you protect me in the future?”

Zhou Heng patted Tong Li’s back as he said, “I will, of course I will. With me around, no one will dare to bully you.”

At this moment, Kong Lan came forward and said, “Dad, congrats for finding Older Sister Dou Dou. I have seen both you and mum search for Dou Dou all over the world. We were all worried for you. This is great news! We have found Older Sister Dou Dou. Dad, our Zhou family should throw a lavish party and officially acknowledge Older Sister Dou Dou’s identity.”

“This….” Zhou Heng hesitated and said, “Xiao Hui is still in the hospital, we should still wait for Xiao Hui to wake up before holding any party…”

“Dad!” Zhou Dao said with an awkward smile on his face. “The biggest dream that Mum had in her entire life was to look for Older Sister Dou Dou. Now that we have found Older Sister Dou Dou, Mum would definitely hope that you would officially reveal Older Sister Dou Dou’s identity. Who knows, maybe when we officially reveal Older Sister Dou Dou’s identity, Mum might wake up.”

Zhou Heng listened and nodded his head. He looked at Tong Li and felt extremely bad for all the years of hardships that she had gone through. “Okay, then we will let the butler organize the party.”

At this moment, Zhou Dao, Kong Lan, and Tong Li all broke out into a smile.

Zhou Dayuan placed both of his hands in his pockets. He turned around to look at Yue Wanqing who was seated beside the bed, and he nodded his head.

Yue Wanqing turned to look at Grandma who was lying on the bed. She perched by the side of grandma’s ear as she softly said, “Grandma, did you know about it already? If I am, then I would need you to wake up quickly. We have been separated for 40 years already. The person that you have been looking for 40 years has always been by your side, could you actually not want to open your eyes to have a good look? Mum…”

The Zhou family party was held in a large and luxurious location in T City. The party consisted of all of the elites and media journalists. The occasion was grand and elaborate.

Lu Dinghua and Song Yajing both attended the party, and they were accompanied with Little Qinwen who was already ten months old.

They came to Zhou Heng’s side, and they raised their glass of red wine towards him. “Old Master Zhou, congrats for finding your daughter.”

Zhou Heng looked good. He was in a good mood. He patted Lu Dinghua’s shoulders, smiled, and said, “Thank you, I have reaped what I sowed…” As he spoke, Zhou Heng looked at Lu Qinwen. His clouded and elderly eyes were bright and sparkling as he bent his waist down to play with Little Qinwen. “This must be Little Young Master Lu. He is really getting more handsome as he gets older. His genes are so strong. He will definitely be much more handsome than Shaoming when he is older.”

Little Qinwen held a large grape in his hands. He wore a white checkered shirt with a bow tie around his neck. He had a bowl haircut. His small face was pink and smooth. He knew about manners, even though he was only ten months old. He saw Zhou Heng, bent his waist down like a gentleman, and said in a childish voice, “Great Grandpa, how are you.”

“I am good, good. How are you?” Zhou Heng had a benevolent look on his face, while he complimented him. “Little Young Master Lu has been taught so well. We all love him more the more we see him.”

At this moment: “Dad…” Tong Li ran out. She purposely dolled herself up today. She was dressed to the nines, and her normal old fashioned behaviour was held back. She pursed her lips together as she broke out into a smile.

She looked at Little Qinwen and was shocked as she said, “Whose child is this? He looks so beautiful.”

Zhou Heng held Tong Li’s hand as he looked at Lu Dinghua. “This is Dinghua’s grandson, Little Qinwen. Come, Dou Dou, let me introduce you. This is Lu Dinghua. You can be considered to be childhood friends with Dinghua. I don’t know if you remember it or not, but at that time, Dou Dou, you liked to chase after Dinghua as you played around calling him Older Brother….”

Zhou Heng recounted the happy times in his memory as he smiled. He really missed those times very much.

Tong Li looked at Lu Dinghua, and her eyes lit up. If she were not wary of Song Yajing being around, she probably would throw herself onto him. “Older Brother Dinghua….” She pinched her voice as she called him.

Lu Dinghua had three black lines running across his forehead. He felt nauseous inside his heart, but he did not express it on his face. He looked at Tong Li plainly and said, “Dou Dou, how are you.”

Tong Li was very excited. She wanted to speak, but at this moment, Lu Dinghua stretched his hand around Song Yajing’s shoulders as he gently said, “Little Qinwen likes to eat cherries right? We will bring him over.”

“Okay.” Song Yajing was elegant and poised. It was what the years of being the matriarch of the Lu family taught her. She held Little Qinwen’s hand, and the trio left.

…

After they went far away, Song Yajing turned sideways to look at Lu Dinghua, she curled the corners of her lips up as she teasingly said, “Why, did you have a childhood love with the Young Miss of the Zhou family back then. How come I didn’t know anything about it?”

Lu Dinghua had a warm smile on his face. While he tried to recount his memories for a moment, “The Lu and Zhou families have been friends for generations. It is true that I grew up together with Dou Dou, but at that time, she was very young. I don’t have too many memories of her, but in my memory, Dou Dou was active and attractive, and did not look like that at all. She has changed way too drastically.”

“Active and attractive?” Song Yajing lifted her eyebrows up. “You like her very much! Based on what I see, if the Young Miss of the Zhou family did not get lost, this arranged marriage would’ve been between you and her then!”

Lu Dinghua kneaded her shoulders as he said, “You are jealous now? I don’t remember it as a childhood love. I only know something about…falling in love at first sight.”

At that time, he fell in love with her at first sight.

Song Yajing’s face turned red. She was displeased as she glanced at him. “You are not being serious again.”

Lu Dinghua laughed upon hearing her words.

At this moment, Song Yajing lifted her head to look at the entrance of the grand hall. Feeling weird, she said, “Why are Shaoming and Qingwing still not here? The banquet is starting soon.”

“They are probably on their way.”

As he spoke, the banquet started. The emcee walked onto the stage and said, “Everyone, good evening. Thank you for coming to this banquet tonight. Today is the joyous occasion where our Old Master Zhou officially welcomes his daughter back to the family. Just as what everyone knows, Old Master Zhou’s biological daughter, Dou Dou, was lost 40 years ago. Today, 40 years later, Old Master Zhou has found his daughter.”

Thunderous applause rang out below the stage, and all of them congratulated him. “Old Master Zhou, congratulations.”

The emcee said, “I will invite Old Master Zhou to bring the Young Miss of the Zhou family, Dou Dou, onto the stage.”

The spotlights from the media outlets shone on the middle of the stage. Zhou Heng looked at Tong Li who was beside him, and he slowly stretched his hand to her.

Tong Li was nervous as she broke out into a cold sweat. She secretly peeked at Kong Lan and Zhou Zhilei at the side, and only saw that they looked delighted, as they nodded their heads to her firmly.

Tong Li swallowed her saliva, and she slowly stretched out her own hand.

Bang! The doors of the banquet halls were pushed open. “Wait a minute.” Someone walked in.

Zhou Zhilei saw someone come in, and her expression changed drastically. It was Ning Qing.

She looked for Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming during the banquet just now. They were nowhere to be found, and she had a bad premonition.

Now, her premonition proved to be true.

“Mum!” She tugged Kong Lan’s hand secretly.

Kong Lan was firm and confident. She looked extremely gracious as she curled the corners of her lips up. She smiled and said “Don’t be flustered, everything is all fixed. The more people are here, the better it would be. There will be something to show then.”

There were very many people around. Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing came. Everyone was taken aback. “Young Master Lu, Mrs. Lu….”

There were others behind. Zhou Dayuan held Jian Han’s small hand. Yue Wanqing pushed a wheelchair, and Grandma sat on the wheelchair. Grandma has awoken.

Zhou Heng looked at Grandma and went forward quickly. “Xiao Hui, you are awake now?”

Kong Lan saw what was happening and ran forward. She squatted down beside the wheelchair, and she stretched her hand out to hold Grandma’s hand. “Mum, you are finally awake now? I just knew that you would wake up when you saw Older Sister Dou Dou come back. This is great news! I was worried sick all this time!”

Slap! Grandma stretched her hand out directly to give Kong Lan a slap. “Beast!”

Kong Lan was thrown onto the floor.

This drastic change made the whole crowd go silent. The butler and bodyguards came out to control the crowd. “Everyone do not take random photos. Because Old Madam Zhou is awake, the banquet will be delayed. We will need everyone to cooperate with us.”

Inside the room, everyone was gathered inside.

Zhou Heng kneeled down in front of Grandma. He placed the blanket over Grandma’s thighs, and he gently said, “Xiao Hui, you are finally awake now. Everything is well as long as you are awake. Come, let me introduce you. This is our daughter Dou Dou. We have found Dou Dou, and you will definitely be happy when you see her.”

Zhou Heng stretched his hand out to call Tong Li over.

Tong Li stood by Kong Lan’s side the whole time. She saw Zhou Heng calling her over, and she tried to be brave as she stepped forward. She stood by the side of the wheelchair as she stuttered, “Mum… Mum…”

“Who is your mother? You better correct how you address me!” Grandma threw a stack of photos at Tong Li’s face as she gritted her teeth in anger. “Who is our Dou Dou? I don’t know even where a dog like you came out from. You are not even ashamed to address me as your mum?”

Tong Li had a look at the photos. She was shocked as she shivered from head to toe, her son was the subject of the photos. Her son was kidnapped at a warehouse.

“Mum, no… Old Madam Zhou, what did you do to my son? I am begging you! My son is my life. Don’t harm him.”

Zhou Heng could tell something was not right. His entire expression turned sinister, and he placed both of his hands behind his back as he chided Tong Li sternly. “Speak; who are you?”

Zhou Zhilei felt her heart stop. She didn’t think that this Tong Li would be so useless. She was a nobody whom she had found in a village. She did not see much in the world, and she admitted to everything once they scared her a little.
