Huo Shaoheng, who was hiding behind the camphor tree in the opposite courtyard, vaguely heard the old woman's words.
"… You're clearly her. I remember very clearly that your lips were very special. They were like small, pointed water caltrops, and there were little dimples on the corners of your lips. You loved to eat water caltrop cakes when you were young, and you loved the ones I made the most. Your mother always said that it was because you loved to eat water caltrops that you had water caltrop lips … "
"… I remember it very clearly. I remember it for a hundred years, or even a century! Grace was a very beautiful girl! She'll come back! She'll come back here, climb over the wall, and ask me for water caltrop cakes to eat! "
Did she think Gu Nianzhi was the young Qin Suwen?
Just like Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng also suddenly thought of a possibility, and he was instantly petrified.
If his conjecture was true, it would be too horrifying.
Huo Shaoheng's hands gradually clenched into fists, then suddenly relaxed, and calmly put them into his trouser pocket.
He calmly walked out from behind the camphor tree and came to the front of the courtyard wall that was half the height of a person. With one hand on the decorative brick and wood wall, he leaped lightly and climbed over the wall.
Gu Nianzhi stood beside the old woman and asked blankly, "… Are you sure she looks like me?"
"What do you mean look the same? You're her. Is your brain sick as well? "The old woman said as she used her hand to touch Gu Nianzhi's forehead.
Gu Nianzhi didn't dodge and allowed the old woman's hand to caress her forehead.
Her big, manga-like eyes lost their light for the first time. She silently looked at the old woman in front of her who was a head shorter than her.
The middle-aged woman beside the old woman quickly said, "My grandmother's words can't be taken seriously. She can't remember clearly. But … "
The middle-aged woman looked at Gu Nianzhi for a while, then smiled and said, "I was still young at the time and didn't live here, but I vaguely remember that Mrs. He looked a little like you when she was young."
"Really? How much? " Gu Nianzhi looked over, her voice as calm as possible so that no one would notice that her tumbling thoughts were like a boiling kettle that was about to bubble.
"From what I see, your lips are the most similar, and your eyes are also quite similar. Mrs. He's eyes were also this big when she was young, but your nose isn't very similar. But to be honest, after so many years, I really can't remember clearly. Mrs. He came back more than thirty years ago. At that time, she hadn't given birth yet, but when my grandmother saw her, it was as if she didn't know her. I didn't recognize her either. "
"It was only after I heard that she was the daughter-in-law of the famous He family that I knew that she had married so well after coming out of the orphanage!"
The middle-aged woman sighed and shook her head. "But after she was burned in the car accident, she underwent plastic surgery. It's really … indescribable.
If Qin Suwen's original appearance had been as delicate and charming as Gu Nianzhi's, then her appearance after the car accident could only be described as "lackluster".
She wasn't ugly, but she didn't have any highlights either. She could only be described as an ordinary person.
Gu Nianzhi's face had been extremely pale earlier, but now it gradually turned red. The redness seeped out from her white, jade-like cheeks all the way to her eyes.
She was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Her hands and feet were cold, and her entire body was stiff. She could barely think straight.
Huo Shaoheng came to her side and quietly held her hand.
His large palm was dry and warm, and it quickly warmed her hand up. It was as if he was injecting strength into her body.
Gu Nianzhi's rationality slowly returned.
She blinked and suppressed the bitter tears in her eyes. She smiled faintly at the grandmother and granddaughter in front of her. "This is really a freak accident. I'm not that Grace, but you insist that I look like her. The real Grace came here once, but you don't recognize her. "
"Yes, how else would you say it's a coincidence …" The middle-aged woman smiled and nodded. "It's getting late. We should have lunch, so we won't keep you."
Gu Nianzhi didn't really want to leave. She gritted her teeth and caught up to them. "Do you have any photos of Mrs. He when she was young?"
"I'm sorry, we don't." The middle-aged woman shook her head regretfully. "It wasn't easy to take photos back then. We didn't even get our own photos taken once a year. Who would take photos of their neighbors?"
Even if they were well-to-do families, they couldn't compare to the Qin family.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at Qin Huichang's bungalow and pretended to be curious. "I really want to go to that house. Maybe there are photos there …"
"There's none. Because that house has always been uninhabited, it was once burglarized and caught on fire. Almost everything inside was stolen, and what wasn't stolen was burned. Mrs. He came back to visit her family and found that the house was in a mess. "
"Oh? How could that be? Didn't Mrs. He call the police? "Gu Nianzhi asked curiously.
Qin Suwen was a famous lawyer. How could she let go of those who stole things and set the house on fire?
"What's the use of calling the police? By the time she called the police, several years had passed. Where would the police go to catch the thieves? " The middle-aged woman helped the old woman into the house. After walking up the steps, she looked back and saw the young girl looking at her silently. Her big eyes were black under the sun, like black holes in the universe. Once light went in, it couldn't come out.
Gu Nianzhi sighed softly and waved at the grandmother and grandson. Finally, she turned around and left.
Huo Shaoheng followed beside her and didn't say anything. He just held her hand firmly.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to say a word.
After getting into the car, she leaned her head against the window and quietly looked at the street view outside the car.
The sycamore trees by the side of the road began to grow green leaves, and the mottled trunks still had the smell of winter.
She looked at all of this, but it flashed through her mind like a fleeting shadow, leaving no trace.
There was only one sentence in her mind.
Qin Suwen. He Zhichu's mother was very likely her mother too …
Huo Shaoheng was very worried about her. As he drove, he advised, "Don't jump to conclusions too early. Maybe the grandmother and grandson just remembered wrongly …"
Gu Nianzhi didn't turn around. She leaned against the window and said aloofly, "Do you still remember the underwater submarine in the other world? Do you remember the first time you saw the bodies of Gu Xiangwen and his wife over there? "
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything.
How could he forget?
On the other side, Gu Xiangwen was also an unyielding genius scientist.
"… I remember what his wife looked like." Huo Shaoheng paused. "… His wife's English name seems to be Grace."
Gu Nianzhi suddenly turned to look at him. "I said I think I've seen the name Grace somewhere before!"
"It was because she looked exactly like Qin Yaoguang that I was extremely shocked when I first saw Qin Yaoguang in this world."
"At that time, I really thought that Qin Yaoguang was my biological mother. Even if she didn't treat me well and used me as a guinea pig, I never doubted it."
"Because the 'Mrs. Gu' over there looked like Qin Yaoguang. According to the principle of correspondence, then the Qin Yaoguang over here should be my biological mother. "
Gu Nianzhi muttered, "She looked so much like the Mrs. Gu over there. I immediately had the first impression and decided that she was my biological mother."
"I didn't expect her to have such a trick up her sleeve …"
She hadn't expected Qin Yaoguang to have undergone plastic surgery …
Qin Suwen had also undergone plastic surgery after her face had been disfigured by the car accident.
"Are these two people going to change their faces?" Gu Nianzhi exhaled. She was so weak that she couldn't get up.
Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "Qin Yaoguang might have used biological plastic surgery to look like Qin Suwen, but Qin Suwen didn't have the typical appearance of the Qin family's daughter."
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes and thought about it. She supported her chin with her hand and pursed her lips. "That's true. How could they be so stupid? If Qin Suwen had the typical appearance of the Qin family's daughter, wouldn't it be obvious that people would think too much? So Qin Suwen must only look like a passerby. "
"Then do you want to do a DNA test and do a paternity test?" Huo Shaoheng suddenly thought that if Gu Nianzhi's biological mother was Qin Suwen, then … wouldn't He Zhichu be her half-brother?
This … was too ridiculous.
Huo Shaoheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel and asked calmly, "… Does your father know about this?"
Gu Nianzhi furrowed her brows. "… You probably don't know, right?"
If he knew, why would he send her to the He family and agree to her engagement to He Zhichu?!
At this moment, Gu Nianzhi also came to a realization.
If Qin Suwen was really her biological mother, then He Zhichu would be her biological brother from a different father!
OMG！ She had almost married her own brother!
Gu Nianzhi felt terrible!
