Capítulo 1545: Chapter 1545: The Past Events, Recognizing Kin

The old lady looked at Gu Qianru, feeling a bit at a loss, and muttered softly: “Little Ru, come home.”

Old Master Gu asked: “Can you describe what kind of birthmark it is?”

Han Jinjun noticed that his grandmother was confused again and took over the conversation: “Ever since I was young, I’ve heard my grandma mention my little aunt; she said my little aunt had a thumb-sized red birthmark on her lower back, resembling a branding iron.”

Old Master Gu knew about this birthmark. When they first met her, her small clothes revealed her waist when she lifted her arms, and the birthmark was on her lower back. It was already late autumn at that time, and she looked particularly pitiful, which moved his wife to compassion.

The old man looked at Gu Qianru, signaling her to make her own decision.

Han Jiujiang saw Gu Qianru not speaking: “Little Ru, back then, mom took you to the county fair, and suddenly a riot broke out on the street. You got dispersed, and mom’s leg was broken, she fainted. When she woke up, she was in a medical clinic.

After that, the family kept searching for you, but there was no news of you. If it wasn’t for today’s chance encounter, and mom constantly insisting that you were Little Ru, pushing Jinjun to chase after you, we wouldn’t have found out your whereabouts.”

When Gu Qianru came to the Gu family, she was already five years old, but she had been separated from her family for a long time. She wandered around begging for food with a group of older kids and barely remembered where her home was.

She only remembered her name and that many people scattered her and her mother: “I don’t remember much from my childhood, just that I got separated from my mother. Later, I met my adoptive parents; they kindly took me in.”

Old Master Gu said: “Where did your sister get lost?”

Han Jiujiang replied: “In Bishan, we’ve searched all over Bishan but couldn’t find my sister. The family felt she probably disappeared in that chaos, but my mom kept saying my sister was alive and well.”

The old man glanced at Gu Qianru: “We found her in Chongqing; at that time, she was a small child holding a bowl larger than her face, begging passerby for coins.”

It was because my wife found her pitiful that she adopted her, and later, we moved the whole family back to Capital City.”

The old lady stood up: “Little Ru, come home.”

Gu Qianru had tears in her eyes, for she was certain she was indeed the daughter of the Han family, not only because she remembered her name as Han Qianru and recalled being scattered from her mother but also remembered the mole under her mother’s ear.

Gu Qianru hugged the old lady, and tears flowed like rain.

The old lady kept patting Gu Qianru’s back: “Little Ru, don’t be afraid, come home.”

Once everyone calmed down, Gu Qianru finally said: “I do indeed have a red birthmark like a branding iron on my lower back.”

Saying this, she gently lifted her wool sweater, revealing the birthmark, allowing everyone to see clearly.

The old lady saw it and reached out with trembling hands to touch it: “My Little Ru, it’s my Little Ru, the birthmark.”

The old lady was quite emotional; now it was Gu Qianru comforting the old lady by patting her back: “It’s okay now, Little Ru is back, it’s okay.”

Han Jiujiang and Han Jinjun’s eyes turned red too, and only when they saw the old lady slowly calming down did they relax.

From Han Jiujiang, they learned he had another brother who was still living in Bishan, and he had transferred to work in Capital City many years ago.

The old man said: “This must be fate. If you hadn’t come to work in Capital City, you wouldn’t have met. Now your mother’s wish is finally fulfilled.”

From Han Jiujiang, they learned his wife was called Peng Guihua, he had two sons and a daughter, eldest son Han Jindong, the younger son Han Jinjun, and the second was a daughter named Han Ruixue, all of whom were married and had children.

Gu Qianru also mentioned her situation, introducing her family one by one.

After chatting for a while, Han Jiujiang prepared to leave, agreeing to have a meal together on the sixth day of the month, officially recognizing each other as family.

Initially, the old lady was unwilling to leave, holding Gu Qianru’s hand, afraid to lose her again, but eventually, after much persuasion, she agreed.

Gu Qianru saw them onto the taxi, watched them leave far away, then turned and walked home.

She looked up to meet Luo Haotian’s inquisitive gaze: “What do you want to ask?”

Luo Haotian smiled warmly: “It seems it really is fate.”

Gu Qianru asked: “Why do you say that?”

Luo Haotian laughed: “You forgot, this morning I originally intended to go to Daoxiang Village not far from home, but you said today is the second day of the month, this area is all residential, there would definitely be a queue, so we decided to go over there to buy instead.”

Gu Qianru thought about it and laughed: “In the mysterious ways of the world, fate naturally plays its part, perhaps.”

Back home, Old Master Gu softly said to Gu Qianru: “This is a good thing.”

Gu Qianru walked to old man’s side: “Dad, no matter what, you will always be my dad; even though we don’t have a blood relationship, since I entered this house, I have never lacked parental love. In my heart, you are just like my biological parents.”

Old Master Gu’s face was all smiles: “Dad understands, you are a good child, and this will always be your home.”
