Chapter 441: A Clear Resemblance To His Older Brother
Mo Beihan had been standing there, looking on enviously as his brothers-in-law chatted happily with his wife. These were her brothers. Since they were not yet married, no matter how much he missed her, he could only watch from the sidelines.
He was surprised when Gu Qingyao suddenly spoke to him.
Mo Beihan’s eyes brightened immediately!
Gu Jinhang, Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinlin were initially rather displeased, but Gu Yunshen came over and tugged at them while shaking his head.
He said, “Let’s go! It’s cold outside. Come on in.”
Only then did they realize that something was amiss.
After they entered the house, Gu Qingyao dragged Mo Beihan to her room.
Mo Beihan was still smiling. “What’s going on? Is there something you want me to do?”
Gu Qingyao looked at him with a serious expression. “Brother Beihan, I’ve discovered a child who looks exactly like Little Xu.”
Mo Beihan was shocked!
“He really, really resembles Little Xu, especially his eyes and his features. Although they are not so alike that they’re like twins, their similarity is clearly apparent. The child is only five years old now and will be six years old after the new year. He has an older brother who looks somewhat like you.”
Mo Beihan was bewildered. He could not respond.
Looks like me?
What? What?
“These children are very pitiful. They are orphans and they depend on their two older cousins. The youngest is the one who resembles Little Xu. His nickname is Mu Mu, and he suffered too much hardship when he was young, which affected his health. He recently fell ill and his older cousin brought him to my family for treatment. I happened to run into them on the way. It was fortunate that I did, or the child would have died.
“Based on his current situation, if he is not properly nursed for a while, he will not live long.”
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Qingyao and did not say anything.
Gu Qingyao sighed and pulled him over to sit down.
“Since this has happened, we have to find a solution. This did not happen in our previous life, so neither of us knows how it will turn out. But since we have encountered this, we have to investigate.
“If the child is related to the Mo family, they’re probably your relatives. Their father may be a brother of sorts. The child is very obedient and mature, but their father… I did not pursue the matter. I was waiting for you to come home and make a decision.”
Mo Beihan was caught off-guard. This was such a serious matter.
In the time since he was reborn, he had depended on his memories of his previous life to control his circumstances. This was the first time he had encountered something so surprising.
He was silent for a while before he said, “Where is the child?”
“At my house, in the room where Little Six and Little Nine used to stay.”
Mo Beihan got up. He wanted to see the child for himself.
When Mo Beihan pushed open the room door, Jiang Xun and Jiang Ping, who had been sitting by the bed leapt to their feet. Mu Mu and Jiang Jing were standing nearby. Now, the four children stood in line. Besides Jiang Xun, who was more collected, the remaining three looked at them nervously.
When Mo Beihan entered the room, his eyes immediately fell on Mu Mu. They looked alike! Incredibly alike!
He bore an especially close resemblance to Little Xu when he was two years younger.
Then he looked at Jiang Jing and Mo Beihan’s eyes narrowed. The child did not resemble him.
The child resembled his older brother!
Of the two children in his family, Little Xu took after his older brother the most, especially his eyes. But Chengrui was more similar to his older brother in personality and temperament.
This Mu Mu’s features were much finer than that of Little Xu. He probably did not have his older brother’s rough but generous air. This child seemed much more refined.
As for Jiang Jing, he could discern the resemblance to his older brother at a glance, although it was not great.
