Chapter 252: Are You My Grandaunt? (2)
“Yes, I will do it.”
Ye Tianxin bowed to the old lady.
She said gratefully, “Thank you, Madame.”
She was hoping that the old lady was her grandmother’s biological elder sister.
If this were the case, her grandmother would be reunited with her elder sister while she was still alive.
She believed that her grandmother would be delighted by this.
“Tianxin, we don’t have to hurry this matter. Let’s celebrate Old Madame Xie’s birthday before we plan what to do next,” Li Xingchen comforted Ye Tianxin.
However, Old Madame Xie, who was seated by the side, rebuked her gently, “Little Xingchen, you are really insensitive. I have a birthday every year, and it’s so boring. Quick, go and get Xinghe here to take the old madame for a DNA test.”
Old Madame Xie was, after all, 100 years old. Sometimes, she could not help but do and say things on a whim.
“Old Madame, Little Tianxin’s grandmother is still in their hometown. I will get my younger brother to pick up her grandmother tomorrow. We can do the DNA test then. Just enjoy your birthday today.”
Old Madame Xie pouted, displeased. “Little Tianxin, do you have a photo of your grandmother?”
Ye Tianxin hurriedly took out her phone from her bag and found a picture of her grandmother. It was a photo of Grandmother and Ye Tianxin leaning into each other.
Old Madame Xie picked up her gla.s.ses and put them on. She looked at the photo. “They do look alike.”
The other old lady could not help but lean in to take a look. She had only glanced at the photo when she could not help but start crying.
So many years have pa.s.sed, and she had thought that her biological family would never be found again. Who would have thought that she would be able to be reunited with her younger sister by chance?
Her head was already full of white hair and her younger sister…
“Tianxin, there’s no need to do a DNA test. I know that she is my younger sister, Lianya.”
The old lady held Ye Tianxin’s hands and looked at Ye Tianxin. She felt as if she could see her younger sister through Ye Tianxin.
“Grandaunt, Grandmother has missed you all this time. She said that they went back to look for you, but you all have already moved by then. They couldn’t find you.”
Grandaunt nodded. Yes, that’s right.
She had moved.
She tried to use what little memories she had to find her family. However, she received the news that they were all dead.
She had never thought that she would be able to receive news about her sister and reconnect with her more than half a century later.
Was this a gift from the heavens?
“I am so excited. I want to go and see Lianya tomorrow. Tomorrow. I wonder if she will still recognize me…”
Grandaunt touched her sixth finger. Back then, people had recommended that she had the extra finger removed.
She could not bear to do so. She had hoped that this physical abnormality would one day become a significant feature for when she met her family again in the future.
“She will, she will. Grandmother will definitely recognize you.”
Ye Tianxin’s eyes were filled with hot tears, and she was so excited that she could barely speak as she cried.
Li Xingchen figured that the birthday banquet was about to begin. “Little Tianxin, come, let me help you fix your makeup,” she offered. “It’s all smudged.”
“Thank you, Elder Sister Xingchen.” Ye Tianxin was really grateful to Li Xingchen. She couldn’t have retouched the makeup on her own.
Li Xingchen replied heartily, “Is there a need to be so polite between us?”
Ye Tianxin allowed Li Xingchen to accompany her to the bathroom.
Soon, Ye Tianxin emerged from the bathroom, looking radiant and beautiful.
Li Xingchen thought that her younger brother was really smart.
Look, Ye Tianxin was already dazzling to think that she was young. Surely, she would be breathtaking in the future.
