Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 214: Confrontation (Part 2)

My partner is Liu Xizhi, adopted daughter of the Gu Family’s main branch. We’ve waited for over forty years, but haven’t seen a trace of her, searched all over the north and south of the river and still couldn’t find her.

Now that we’re here, as the son-in-law of the Gu Family, I must demand an attitude from the Zhou Family. Zhou Xiaozheng is Zhou Jinyu’s son, the only progeny of the direct lineage of the Gu and Zhou Families, and must be acknowledged.

I don’t want to speak about how much suffering they’ve endured. I just want to know if Zhou Jianren acknowledges the truth. If he keeps pretending to be ignorant, I’ll call the police immediately. We have proof and photos left by Gu Mingzhu, as well as witnesses and evidence to prove Zhou Xiaozheng is not Zhou Jianren’s biological son."

The clan leader listened and looked at Old Sir Zhou, who was silent, sighed, and turned to consult quietly with the two clan elders beside him. After a while, the clan leader opened the genealogy, matched it with the old genealogy, and looked at Old Sir Zhou, "Jianren, what do you say? Express your stance."

Mr. Cheng took the box handed over by Cheng Sijin, opened it, and took out a stack of notes and photos, selecting two to pass to the clan leader.

"These are photos of the family heirloom jade pendant and the small seal inside the token, along with the features described by Gu Mingzhu. If he still remains silent, I’ll have people call the police to search the Zhou Family."

A clan elder of the Zhou Family shouted angrily, "If you don’t speak up, I’ll have your family expelled from the clan. Do you still hope to get away with it? Hasn’t your family lost enough face?"

Old Sir Zhou looked up at everyone, opened his mouth to speak but then closed it, lowered his head and remained silent.

The clan leader frowned and said, "If you have nothing to say, just hand over the items. They have the evidence, and if you stay silent, after we leave, whether you end up in jail or elsewhere, we truly won’t care."

Upon hearing this, Old Sir Zhou lowered his head, gently touched his chest, reluctantly took out a Chicken Blood Stone seal, looked at it before closing his eyes and handing it to the clan leader, and then got up and went to the inner room.

Mr. Cheng gave Xiao Chen a look, who followed him inside. Shortly after, Old Sir Zhou came out holding a small box.

Old Mrs. Cheng, crying, rushed forward to snatch the box, gently caressing it with her hand, "This is the box. This was the box my sister took with her at the time." Saying that, she hugged it tightly, wailing loudly.

Zhou Xiaozheng and Cheng Sijin rushed to embrace her, hurriedly giving her medicine and water.

When Old Mrs. Cheng came back to her senses, she anxiously stuffed the box into Zhou Xiaozheng’s arms, "Look at this, it’s what your mother left for you. Open it and see, you must keep it safe."

Mr. Cheng handed Zhou Jinyu’s seal to his partner, "See if it belongs to your brother-in-law? And your sister’s jade pendant, take a look."

Old Mrs. Cheng took the seal, looked at it, tears streaming down her face as she nodded, "It’s my brother-in-law’s. There’s a black dot here, my brother-in-law said he originally wanted to carve a dragon pattern here for a ’finishing touch’ effect."

Zhou Xiaozheng opened the box and saw inside a round piece of top-grade Mutton Fat Jade, ironically curled his lip, truly, wealth is tempting.

Mr. Cheng saw the token received, smiled at the old clan leader’s grandson, and asked, "Don’t be nervous, did your grandfather ever talk about Xiaozheng? We’d like to hear about it."

The other person smiled sincerely and said, "I’ve lived many years, it’s been too long, I only remember that he passed away unexpectedly and didn’t leave any words. He wouldn’t tell us about these matters. He often said ignorance is bliss."
