Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

Furthermore, the old lady looked a little like her grandmother. She had some questions for the old lady.

However, she was afraid that if she spoke up suddenly, things might backfire.

It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to sound out the old lady.

“Old Madame is so open, but Ma’am, Uncle is so old. You don’t have to worry about him. Come. Let us continue playing.”

“Yes, let’s continue playing. Don’t talk about that undutiful Number Three!”

The old madame had a head full of silver hair and looked very energetic. She took good care of her appearance and did not look like a centenarian at all.

Ye Tianxin sat down beside Li Xingchen, looking very sensible and obedient. The old madame could not help but take a few looks at her.

After a while, a young woman came. She carried a little boy in her arms who appeared to be about a year old.

She walked up to the other old lady and said, “Grandmother, this boy keeps crying…”

“I already said that I seemed to have heard your grandson crying, and you didn’t believe me.”

The old madame laughed heartily.

The other old lady said, “Old Madame Xie, your ears are better than mine. I am going deaf!”

The old lady turned around and carried the little boy. The little boy looked as if he had suffered a grievance. He wrapped his chubby arms tightly around the old lady’s neck.

“Grandmother, I wanna go to sleep.”

The old lady stood up and got her granddaughter-in-law to sit down and continue the game on her behalf.

Meanwhile, she sat by the side, carried the child in her arms, and started singing a children’s song.

“Little fat child, riding on a horse to Shu…”

Ye Tianxin felt as if she had been struck by lightning upon hearing the song.

She walked up to the old lady and continued in a hoarse voice, “Shu is so fun, the little fat child rides on a white horse…”

The old lady was stunned, and she asked, “Do you know the song as well?”

“Madame, please, are you Xinya?”

Ye Tianxin knew it was a little rude for her to ask this out of the blue. However, she could not help herself. She did not want to lose out on this opportunity.

Xinya?

Xinya?

The name rang in the old lady’s ears, bringing along with it the unique scent of mud.

It had been many years. Many, many years since someone last called her by this name.

Xinya…

Xinya…

“How did you know that my nickname is Xinya?”

The old lady sounded as if there was something stuck in her throat.

Ye Tianxin could not help but tear up. She tried to stay calm as tears streamed down her face, and she forced her excitement back as she spoke, “My grandmother, she’s called Lianya. She said that she has an elder sister who was left behind with a kind family during the famine. They lost contact from then on.”

Old Madame Xie and Li Xingchen both noticed what was happening between Ye Tianxin and the old lady.

Li Xingchen walked up to Ye Tianxin and put an arm around her shoulders. She whispered, “Tianxin…”

Ye Tianxin reached out to pat Li Xingchen’s hand. “Elder Sister Xinchen, I’m fine,” she assured Li Xingchen

Then she made a request to the old lady, “If possible, could you please do a DNA test with my grandmother?”

The old lady pushed her bangs back with her right hand. There were six fingers on her right hand, which could not stop trembling.

At that moment, Ye Tianxin was almost certain that she was Xinya.

She was the elder sister her grandmother had never forgotten.

Ye Tianxin knew that it was useless no matter how certain she was. They could only confirm everything through a DNA test.
