Chapter 329: Chapter 328: The Resembling Grandfather and Grandson (3 more)

Zuo Qing had taken a fall and scraped her hand by accident.

Xu Wentian watched from the side and saw blood had been scraped out from the palm of her hand. He frowned and said, "Uncle Guan, make a trip to the hospital."

Zuo Qing immediately understood why Xu Wentian asked Uncle Guan to go to the hospital, hurriedly put down her hand and smiled while shaking her head at Xu Wentian.

"Godfather, there’s no need, it’s just a minor injury, some medicine back home will do. You just got all wet from coming out to meet me, let’s go home first," she said.

Xu Wentian smiled and shook his head, "Our Qingqing always thinks of others first."

Zuo Qing smiled tenderly, "What are you talking about, godfather? Who else is there? You’re my godfather, if I don’t consider you, who else would I consider?"

Hearing this, Xu Wentian didn’t continue to ask Uncle Guan to go to the hospital, but once they arrived home, he still had a servant bring medicated alcohol for Zuo Qing to clean the wound.

Uncle Guan watched this affectionate father-daughter scene, hesitating whether to speak out.

He had watched Miss Qingqing grow up from a small child, and he had never seen a child who was more obedient and sensible.

Whether to the servants or to him, she always behaved with politeness and gentleness, never once losing her temper at anyone.

A girl with a truly kind heart.

If that girl really had something to do with the master, then the master would inevitably bring that family back.

By then, what would Miss Qingqing do with herself?

The Xu Family had a large estate and if there were no accidents, it was certainly expected to be managed by Miss Qingqing in the future.

But if the master’s biological children were brought back, it definitely wouldn’t be Miss Qingqing’s turn.

Moreover, the master had been separated from those people for so long, bringing them back might not necessarily be good.

Who knows what kind of temperament those people had?

In comparison, Uncle Guan’s heart naturally leaned toward Miss Qingqing.

But watching the master each time he thought of the wife and children he had lost and how heartbroken he got, Uncle Guan couldn’t pretend he hadn’t noticed.

Uncle Guan had never married and had no descendants, to him, the most important people were Xu Wentian and Zuo Qing.

To him, Xu Wentian was more than just a master; he was a close friend.

And Miss Zuo Qing was like his own granddaughter.

Although Miss Zuo Qing called him uncle, after all, she was just a 20-year-old girl.

If the master’s biological children were really brought back, could Miss Zuo Qing bear such a huge difference?

After all, the master owed too much to the wife and children he once lost. If he found them, he would surely spend the rest of his life’s energy on them.

By then, what would Qingqing do?

As Uncle Guan was thinking these things, he didn’t realize his gaze had been fixed on Zuo Qing the whole time.

However, Zuo Qing had noticed.

Xu Wentian was getting on in years, and although he was still robust, he couldn’t withstand being too tired. He usually took a nap in the afternoons, and today he hadn’t taken one yet.

So he went to bed early.

After Xu Wentian went upstairs to rest, Zuo Qing sought out Uncle Guan.

"Uncle Guan, did you have something you wanted to tell me just now?" Zuo Qing asked tenderly, her face carrying a serene smile.

Even when speaking to a servant like Uncle Guan, she used an extremely respectful tone.

Without any air of a household’s master, she simply treated him as an elder.

Uncle Guan was startled for a moment, not expecting Zuo Qing to come up and find him, and also noticing he had something he wanted to ask her.

Uncle Guan had already put the thoughts to rest, planning to act as if today’s events hadn’t happened.

To pretend not to have noticed that the girl bore a striking resemblance to the young master, and not to delve further into it.

He hadn’t expected Miss Zuo Qing would notice he had something to tell her and had come specifically to ask.

Perhaps this was fate, Uncle Guan thought to himself and smiled helplessly, "I did have something to ask Miss Qingqing."

"Please ask," Zuo Qing said politely.

Uncle Guan sighed and looked at Zuo Qing, "Miss Qingqing, do you remember the girl you bumped into today when it was raining?"

"That girl?" Zuo Qing was utterly confused, "What about her?"

The rain had been pouring too heavily, and in fact Zuo Qing hadn’t seen the girl’s face clearly, only heard her voice.

A very pleasant voice.

But the rain was too heavy, and she had fallen down at that moment, not in the mood to pay attention to those matters.

The estate manager said, "That girl, she resembled the master in his younger days quite strikingly."

"What?" Zuo Qing looked up at the estate manager in shock and said with disbelief, "Uncle Guan, what do you mean? Does that girl have any relation to my godfather?"

Zuo Qing, being exceedingly clever, almost instantly grasped the meaning behind the old estate manager’s words.

In surprise, she said, "Could it be that the girl is my godfather’s child?"

After thinking it over, Zuo Qing felt something was amiss. Although she hadn’t clearly seen the girl’s face, she knew the girl was merely a young lady.

How could she possibly be the child of her godfather.

"Could it be his granddaughter?" Zuo Qing asked the estate manager doubtfully.

The estate manager shook his head, "I’m not sure myself, I just feel that she bears such a strong resemblance to the young master that when I first saw her, I was too shocked to react. By the time I thought to follow her, I had already lost sight of the girl. As to whether she is the master’s biological granddaughter, that remains unconfirmed."

Zuo Qing had always known the close relationship between the estate manager and her godfather.

She had heard from her godfather that Uncle Guan had grown up with him since childhood.

If even the estate manager felt that the girl looked so much like her godfather in his youth, then there was an eighty percent chance that the girl truly was his granddaughter.

Thinking about how her godfather would feel each time he thought of his wife, how sad and upset he would become, and now suddenly there was a glimmer of hope to find his relative, Zuo Qing excitedly grabbed the estate manager’s hand.

"Uncle Guan, then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and find that girl. Whether she’s my godfather’s biological granddaughter or not, we can know for sure once we find her family," she said.

The thought of her godfather soon being able to find his long-lost relatives filled Zuo Qing with sincere joy for Xu Wentian.

The smile on her face brightened a few degrees more.

The estate manager, seeing Zuo Qing so happy, laughed at himself mockingly, thinking that at his age, he was still not as open-minded as Miss Zuo Qing.

What kind of nature Miss Zuo Qing had, a child brought up by the master, was far from those who only cared about external possessions.

The estate manager couldn’t help but feel reassured about the daughter the master had raised.

"Miss Qingqing, I hope you can keep this matter a secret from the master," he said.

"Ah? Why keep it a secret?" Zuo Qing asked, puzzled. "Godfather has been looking for my godmother for so long, and now that we’ve finally found someone who is very likely to be his granddaughter, why not tell him and let him be happy?"

The estate manager said, "Precisely because the master cares too much about finding his wife and child, we cannot tell him before we are certain that the girl is indeed his biological granddaughter. If it turns out to be nothing more than a simple resemblance, it will only give the master false hope and lead to greater disappointment later."

Hearing this, Zuo Qing’s joyous mood instantly returned to calm.

Right, Uncle Guan was correct, if the girl wasn’t actually the godfather’s biological granddaughter, merely bearing some resemblance, that could lead to an even greater letdown for him.

"Then, Uncle Guan, let’s go find that girl right now," Zuo Qing suggested.

Upon hearing this, the estate manager suddenly remembered something very important.

He had only thought about slowly investigating whether the girl was truly the master’s biological granddaughter.

He hadn’t considered that the girl had already disappeared, and they didn’t know where to start asking.

The estate manager was immediately filled with regret.

He had made a foolish mistake.

Zuo Qing also quickly realized they didn’t know who the girl was.

Without her address, how would they find her?

Beijing was so vast?

She couldn’t help but ask worriedly, "Uncle Guan, how are we going to find that girl we saw today?"

Hearing Zuo Qing’s voice, the estate manager, who was amid his regret, thought of the fleeting glimpse of the girl’s stunningly captivating face.

His previous regret vanished in an instant.

With the girl’s outstanding appearance, wherever she had appeared, she would have surely drawn attention.

If someone had seen her, they would definitely remember.

As long as they follow the street they were on today and ask around, they should be able to track her down.

"Miss Qingqing, don’t worry just yet, we still have a chance to find the girl. It’s raining outside right now, but first thing tomorrow morning we’ll go and ask the people on that street if they saw where the girl went to last," he proposed.

That was the only course of action available to them now.

Zuo Qing actually felt a bit disappointed.

She had only her godfather as family, who treated her like his own daughter, and she truly wished for him to be happy and healthy for a lifetime.

Her godfather, though seeming healthy on the surface, harbored an unhealed scar in his heart.

That scar belonged to his wife and child, from whom he’d lost contact.

Only by finding them could her godfather truly be happy.
