Chapter 1458: Everyone Returns to Their Place (Part 10)
Now, Xin Miao calls Duan Sishu "mom," and the Feng Nianian they thought was a figment of their imagination due to mental illness actually existed. The truth was right before them, and Mrs. Xin knew... perhaps all of this was real.
Xin Miao paused, the redness in her eyes gradually faded, and her gaze became clear. She slowly backed away, no longer staring intently at Duan Sishu.
Only then did Duan Sishu breathe a sigh of relief. She peeked out from behind Duan Qianyang and asked, "You say you are Nianian. Do you have any evidence?"
Xin Miao did not answer because she was now in control of the body, not Feng Nianian.
The atmosphere held a momentary silence.
Jiaojiao saw the large group of people standing outside the door. Occasionally passing people looked over curiously, so she patted Xiu Xi’s hand as a reminder: "Meow." Brother Xi, let them in first before continuing.
Xiu Xi nodded and said, "Let’s go inside first."
The moment he spoke, Duan Sishu’s gaze was immediately drawn to him. During the time Duan Qianyang and Wen Yu were together, she had not yet married. Wen Yu often spent time with Duan Qianyang, and they were quite familiar with each other. Now seeing Xiu Xi, who bore a resemblance to Wen Yu and had eyes exactly like Duan Qianyang’s, she was astonished.
"Brother, is this the child Sister Wen Yu had with you?" she asked Duan Qianyang.
To ask such a question in broad daylight without any regard for the setting made Duan Qianyang displeased. He glanced at her indifferently, nodded, and then led everyone into the courtyard.
Everyone finally settled in a room on the left side. Duan Sishu kept looking at Xiu Xi in amazement, her demeanor not like a woman in her thirties or forties, but more like a teenage girl.
Jiaojiao, nestled in Xiu Xi’s arms, was also quite speechless under her scrutiny.
"Ahem, Sishu, come sit," Duan Qianyang finally spoke, calling Duan Sishu back.
When Duan Sishu returned to Duan Qianyang’s side, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. These four families, previously with no connection at all, had never thought they’d be brought together by this situation.
Duan Qianyang, being the most prestigious among them, naturally took the opening: "Today we gather due to certain events. Let’s consider this fate and introduce ourselves."
"..." Jiaojiao.
Though she couldn’t speak, she silently felt that probably none of those present wanted this so-called fate.
However, everyone proceeded with brief introductions. As Jiaojiao’s situation couldn’t go into detail, Ruan Jianguo merely mentioned that the Master was recommended by him and said nothing more. After the short introductions, everyone had a basic understanding of each other.
Especially Duan Sishu and Mrs. Xin, they were scrutinizing each other. Mrs. Xin didn’t know what she thought of, but her gaze dimmed as she lowered her eyes.
At this moment, Duan Qianyang handed out several copies of the information Xiu Xi had provided last time, distributing them to Duan Sishu and Mrs. Xin.
Seeing the descriptions of Madam Yuan and Yuan Manman, the two women turned pale without any surprise.
They quickly found the common point.
Yuan Manman died when she was six or seven years old, drowned in the sea.
Mrs. Xin immediately recalled how six years ago, when Xin Miao was just under seven, she also transformed into her current state after falling into a river.
