After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

She hurriedly stopped: "My mother's name is not Xia Rui."

"No, unless the design draft you took out is not hers, but you stole it from somewhere." Tang Yongshu was very stubborn and insisted on what he meant.

"Of course not, I found it among my mother's belongings."

"Then you are Xia Rui's child, my god-granddaughter!!" He opened his eyes angrily, "I'll give you all these things. If you don't accept them, you just want to piss this old man off."

Xia Taozhi:......

I'm speechless, I don't want to be so stressed out about receiving gifts.

“Ms. So happy."

The assistant on the side, Aunt Zhou, had been taking care of Mr. Tang for many years and knew very well what her master meant. She advised, "Don't think of these as priceless jewels. Think of them as an old man's love for the younger generation. Is it easy to accept it?”

These words touched Xia Taozhi's heart.

Tang Yongshu also nodded frequently: "Your Aunt Zhou is right, accept it quickly!"

Xia Taozhi glanced at Han Xiao again.

Han Xiao nodded lightly.

Then she put away the heavy box: "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

"Don't call me that. I've already told you that Ruirui is my daughter and you are my god-granddaughter. Please call me grandpa quickly."

Tang Yongshu looked at her expectantly, and the excitement in his eyes made her unable to refuse.

"Grandpa, grandpa..." she murmured.

"Hey, good boy, where do you live now? Give me your address and your contact information. Xiao Zhou, remember it for me. I'm going to see Taotao when I'm discharged from the hospital."

"Okay, old sir, don't worry." Aunt Zhou smiled.

When Xia Taozhi left the hospital, her head was still full of confusion. The way she opened it was completely different from what she expected.

"I...just called Grandpa Tang?"

"I also... received so many gifts from others."

"Han Xiao, pinch me quickly. Am I dreaming?" Why did she feel so unreal?

The man sneered: "It's true."

"But Mr. Tang said that I am Xia Rui's daughter. Xia Rui...is the young lady of the Xia family and Aunt Lian's sister!! If that's true, then I..."

"If that's the case, you are the real daughter of the Xia family living abroad. This title actually has nothing to do with Gui Yunrong." Han Xiao took over.

how is this possible……

Xia Taozhi lowered his eyelids.

She has been ordinary for so many years, and now there is such a huge mystery about her life experience. She can't accept it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, many things have omens.

For example, the lullaby she played was later stolen by Gui Yunrong, and Gui Yunrong became the daughter of the Xia family.

Another example is the weird atmosphere between Dad and Aunt Lian. You can tell at a glance that there is something hidden.

what is it?

Could it be...she is really Xia Rui's daughter?

All the keys focused on Xia Mingcheng, and she couldn't wait to go back and ask her father.

Others don't know, but Xia Mingcheng must know.

When I got home, my father was not at home. I asked my aunt at home and found out that Xia Mingcheng was used to going shopping now and usually wouldn't come back until the afternoon.

There was no way, it was still early, and Xia Taozhi couldn't call people back in a hurry.

Han Xiao reassured: "Dad will come back anyway, don't worry."

"Hmm." She twisted her fingers, "You said...is it true?"

"Whether it's true or not, you are still Xia Taozhi, you are who you are." He smiled softly, "This will never change. When we met, you were not the daughter of the Xia family, you were the fangjian A woman who is sharp-tongued and stubborn.”

Xia Taozhi:? ? ?

"Don't you have any decent words to praise me?"

The wait lasted until evening. Xia Taozhi was not in the mood to go to the studio anymore. He just felt that the time spent at home was like a year.

Dusk is rising outside the window, and dusk gradually fills the entire horizon.

Xia Mingcheng returned slowly.

"Dad!" Xia Taozhi rushed over, grabbed his arm and dragged him through the door.

Xia Mingcheng, who was caught off guard, was almost pulled down by his daughter. His feet bumped several times before he could stand firm.

"What happened?!" He was also startled.

Xia Taozhi closed the study door, her dark eyes filled with fire: "Is my mother's name Xia Rui?"

Xia Mingcheng was stunned, his eyes wandering subconsciously: "You, how did you..."

"Just tell me, isn't it?" she said anxiously, "I am already so old, don't I even deserve to know my mother's name?"

Xia Mingcheng lowered his head and hesitated, then nodded for a while: "Her name is indeed Xia Rui. But how did you know?"

"Is it the missing daughter of the Xia family? Is it... Aunt Lian's biological sister, is she that Xia Rui?" she asked again.

Each question became more direct than the last, and Xia Mingcheng knew that he could no longer hide it.

"Yes." After he finished speaking, he seemed to have been drained of strength and slumped down on the chair. "Your mother is Aunt Lian's biological sister and the real daughter of the Xia family. Compared with her, no one else can carry her shoes. She is not worthy, she is the most beloved apple of Mr. Xia’s family, and your Aunt Lian’s most precious little sister.”

He seemed to be lost in memories, "That year, she was the most eye-catching existence in the entire Sichuan City."

"Later, you and your mother fell in love, and the Xia family didn't allow you to be together, so you eloped?" Xia Taozhi had already imagined a bloody story.

Xia Mingcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No."

"In the beginning, it was impossible for me to be with your mother. The gap between the two parties was too big. Your mother also had another fiancé at first, and they were also married into aristocratic families. They were a golden boy and a beautiful girl, and everyone admired them."

He said calmly, "Your mother and I are schoolmates. We only talked together because of academic issues before. Later, she escaped from the Xia family, and that was the time we really got to know each other. The Xia family encountered a crisis at that time. Specifically, I didn’t know that your mother wanted to save her father, so she had no choice but to commit herself to another person, and she even got pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.”

Xia Taozhi was shocked: "Is that daughter me? Is... the child that Aunt Lian lost?"

"No." Xia Mingcheng raised his eyes, "You are my father's daughter, there is no doubt about it. But the child that your Aunt Lian lost was indeed this child. It is a pity that this child died at that time and is no longer in this world. .”

Xia Taozhi covered her heart and breathed heavily.

"It was not an accident, it was a man-made disaster. The real murderer has not been identified so far." Xia Mingcheng smiled bitterly, "Your mother lost her first child and was heartbroken. She chose to leave the Xia family and even changed her name. .”
