Chapter 243 - 243 Cousin Hai Lan_1
“Xiaotang, allow me to introduce you.” Zhan Yu pulled the girl over, beaming, “This is your cousin, Hai Lan, we have all met her. You are the only one who hasn’t.”
Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, staring at the girl in disbelief.
Her cousin?
Hai Lan gave a soft smile, “Xiaotang, congratulation on your discharge, I am sorry I could not visit you in the hospital due to being busy.”
Hai Rong continued, “Xiaotang, this is the daughter we lost twenty years ago. We finally found her!”
Hai Xiaotang was stunned, she never thought they would find her.
She was aware that her uncle’s family had been searching for their daughter for years, and then they gave up.
But now, they found her…
Hai Xiaotang asked excitedly, “How did you find her?”
“Alt, we’ll tell you all about it later.” Zhan Yu pulled Hai Lan towards Dongfang Yu, “Hai Lan, this is Dongfang Yu. Your mother has mentioned him. You can call him big brother Dongfang from now on.”
“Big brother Dongfang.” Hai Lan naturally responded.
Dongfang Yu gave a slight nod, his voice void of emotional fluctuation, “Nice to meet you.”
Zhan Yu continued with a smile, “Hai Lan, your big brother Dongfang is very influential, he owns an entertainment company as well. You mentioned you wanted to act, perhaps he could sign you…”
“Alright, let’s start the meal. The rest can wait.” Hai Zhiyuan suddenly interrupted her.
Zhan Yu choked on her words. She was a bit disappointed but didn’t show it.
Dongfang Yu had already strode forward, helping the old grandfather towards the living room along with Hai Xiaotang.
Zhan Yu and Hai Lan brought up the rear, as Zhan Yu filled Hai Lan’s ear with the importance of getting close to Dongfang Yu.
Hai Lan simply listened to everything with a small smile and didn’t say a word.
The dining room was filled with delicious dishes.
Everyone was gathered around the table, chatting and eating, creating a lively atmosphere.
Soon, Hai Xiaotang also learned how Hai Lan was found.
Hai Lan was a newly debuted actress, albeit with only a few acting credits, she had shown up a few times in a recent hit drama.
Zhan Yu discovered her while watching TV.
Because Hai Lan resembled Zhan Yu in her younger years so closely, they checked and it turned out indeed to be their daughter.
Three years old when she was kidnapped, Hai Lan was sold to a family. But she knew she wasn’t their biological child and she wanted to search for her family.
That’s why she wanted to be an actress.
She believed that once nationwide famous, her family might recognize her as well.
Unexpectedly, this plan worked!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have found her this quickly.
Hearing about such a dramatic sequence of events, Hai Xiaotang was glad for her uncle’s family.
They had this only daughter who had been missing for years, and they were unable to have any other children. Now they finally had a child, which was a piece of good news.
And, Grandfather had always missed Hai Lan over the years.
Just as Xiaotang was lost in her thoughts, the conversation turned to her.
Zhan Yu asked her, “Xiaotang, Ayu has been taking good care of you during this time. So, are you two planning to get back together?”
Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to answer, Dongfang Yu beat her to it with a low laugh, “Aunty, it’s me who wants to reconcile with her, but Xiaotang is still considering.”
Zhan Yu, who had expected Hai Xiaotang to deny the supposition immediately, was surprised at Dongfang Yu’s straightforward response!
