Chapter 931 - 929: A Mom Who Dreams of Striking It Rich Every Day 31
Chapter 931: Chapter 929: A Mom Who Dreams of Striking It Rich Every Day 31
"Dad, are you trying to persuade them?" Ah Chen looked up.
Probably won’t work. In the face of huge interests, who would give up and not take action?
Everyone knows that receiving a windfall is wishful thinking, but when it really happens to you, who wouldn’t want to grab it and take a bite?
"I have to give it a try," An Shuo Hai said. "When we visit your grandparents on the fifth day, I’ll talk to them."
Whether they listen or not is up to them.
There’s not much else he can do; he doesn’t have that kind of influence.
On the fifth day, the three of them went to the Liang Family’s place and saw Liang Xuefang. Liang Xuefang’s attitude was indifferent, but Xu Yue was quite enthusiastic, even asking An Shuo Hai if he wanted to get involved in the investment, saying it was a rare opportunity. He was declined.
Xu Yue wasn’t annoyed, indicating it was his own choice.
Before leaving, An Shuo Hai still took the opportunity to remind the Liang Family that investment carries risks and to be cautious. The Liang Family seemed somewhat displeased, so he understood not to advise further and left with Ah Chen and An Miao.
From start to finish, Liang Xuefang barely acknowledged Ah Chen and An Miao.
On the way back, An Miao was somewhat downhearted.
An Shuo Hai patted An Miao’s shoulder and sighed deeply, not knowing how to comfort her. Although due to his interference, Liang Xuefang hadn’t done anything bad, her indifference and madness were truly just like in his dreams.
His daughter’s reaction, however, was somewhat different; she seemed overly indifferent to Liang Xuefang.
Suddenly, An Shuo Hai paused. Previously, his daughter was actually quite concerned and dependent on Liang Xuefang. When did she stop being so attached to her?
It seemed to be around the time he started dreaming, could it be...
Ah Chen noticed An Shuo Hai’s emotions. Her behavior was quite evident; if An Shuo Hai asked, she’d explain.
If he didn’t ask, this was fine.
In any case, she couldn’t possibly hold any goodwill towards Liang Xuefang.
But An Shuo Hai never asked.
Instead, he revisited the dream scenario, recalling that within, his daughter once had a job related to the current game.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether his daughter had also had that incredibly vivid dream.
Time flew by, and the school term started again.
As Ah Chen expected, Pei Chen didn’t transfer and seemed gloomier than before, but Ah Chen wasn’t that concerned.
However, Pei Chen would occasionally stare at Ah Chen’s back, lost in thought.
Indeed, he hadn’t expected that when facing An Chen, his usually unreasonable mother would back down. This was not something he wanted to see, how could this happen?
What exactly happened when his mom went to school that day?
During the entire break, Pei Chen kept studying, with the thought of outdoing An Chen filling his mind.
On the first day back, seeing An Chen with a smile on her face, it was evident she had a particularly good New Year.
But Ah Chen didn’t have time to pay attention to that, because with the start of school, they were busy not only with studies but also with the competition.
During the break, Jian Mo had someone acquire a declining club, otherwise participating in the competition would have been troublesome. Conveniently, this club had a spot for the competition, so they could directly enter, something he had planned from the beginning.
Of course, it wasn’t cheap, but fortunately, Jian Mo had some money.
It is worth mentioning that Canglan’s club was already well renovated.
However, for health reasons, they planned to wait a bit longer before moving in.
The management of the club was handled by specific people, so Jian Mo didn’t need to be busy; he just had to know what was needed and have someone else do it. That’s the advantage of having money.
For convenience, Ah Chen didn’t stay in the dorm this semester; instead, she lived next door to the studio.
While Ah Chen was waiting for Xu Yue’s fiasco to erupt, based on the timing, it should have been around that time. However, at the studio, an unfamiliar middle-aged couple arrived first, claiming they were there to find Xie Musheng.
In the bewildered eyes of Xie Musheng, the middle-aged couple said they were his biological parents, that Xie Musheng had been accidentally lost over ten years ago, and that they had been searching for him ever since.
"How did you find me?" Xie Musheng asked. "And how do you confirm that I’m your lost child?"
When his grandmother just passed away, he indeed felt aimless, longing to have parents like others.
Later, he met Brother Leng and got to know a group of friends. His life was fulfilling, full of hope for the future, and he hadn’t thought about his biological parents for a long time.
Facing the appearance of Guo Changdong and Mi Mei, he wasn’t as excited as he imagined. He was very calm; how did they confirm he was theirs without a doubt?
"Do you remember Zhou Xiang?" Mi Mei asked.
Xie Musheng was momentarily stunned, then replied, "I remember, he was my middle school classmate. What’s the connection to Zhou Xiang?"
"We run in the same circles as the Zhou family," Mi Mei continued, "Zhou Xiang attended a banquet at our home, and he overheard us mentioning you and a snowflake-like red birthmark behind your ear."
Xie Musheng fell silent; there was indeed a snowflake-like red birthmark behind his ear, something Zhou Xiang, who sat next to him, had accidentally discovered.
Guo Changdong said, "If you don’t believe it, we can do a DNA test first. Once the results are out, everything will be clear."
"Do I have any other siblings?" Xie Musheng asked again.
"Yes, a younger brother and sister, twins, named Guo Shuwei and Guo Shuyi. They’re both overseas now. If you wish to study abroad in the future, our family can support that," Mi Mei said with a smile.
Xie Musheng instinctively looked at Ah Chen and Jian Mo. Jian Mo said, "If you want to do the test, then do it; if not, that’s fine too."
"Since you have children and it’s been so many years, I don’t necessarily need to go back. Things are good now, so I won’t do the test. Let’s pretend this never happened." A vague, strange feeling made Xie Musheng reluctant to return to the Guo Family. "Granny treated me well, so even if I’m really related to you, I won’t change my surname to Guo."
Mi Mei suddenly started crying, "We won’t force you, but you should understand our hearts as parents. We just want to acknowledge you; we won’t force you to change your surname, okay? Just treat it as having an additional family member?"
Xie Musheng was momentarily at a loss. The two might really be his parents, and they hadn’t abandoned him on purpose. Eventually, he agreed to do the paternity test.
The test results came back; Guo Changdong and Mi Mei were indeed Xie Musheng’s biological parents.
Compared to Xie Musheng’s calmness, the couple’s eyes filled with tears, promising to give him the best to make up for the years lost. As for him not wanting to change his surname, that would be fine too.
This particular point made Xie Musheng feel a bit more fond of them.
But when the couple suggested he come back and live with them, he refused, saying he was in pursuit of his dreams and intended to stay here for a long time.
Only then did the couple realize that Xie Musheng’s dream pursuit was actually playing games.
Instantly, their expressions changed slightly, but the change quickly passed.
Ah Chen clearly saw the anger in the couple’s eyes, as if Xie Musheng was committing an unforgivable act.
Could it be that the Canglan Team didn’t participate in the competition later because of this?
