Chapter 167 Similar People
Mr. Xiang couldn't bear to see his wife sad anymore, so he said to Xie Yiling, "Yiling, take Dr. Ning out for a chat first, and let your mother rest for a while."
"Okay, Dr. Ning, let's go sit outside for a while." Xie Yiling said hurriedly.
Ning Xi nodded and left the room.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Ning." Xie Yiling said as she closed the door.
"It's okay, I didn't expect that Madam Xiang was doing this because of me..." Ning Xi pursed her lips and said.
She had always thought that Madam Xiang was worrying too much and was concerned about Xiang Xiying, and she had advised her last time.
Unexpectedly, it was because she looked like her deceased brother that she recalled sad things and then fell ill.
"It's not your fault. There are many people in the world who look alike. Maybe, just like you said, maybe, it's fate."
Xie Yiling took her to a small living room on the second floor, asked her to sit down, and poured her a glass of water.
Ning Xi looked at the water cup, speechless for a moment.
It is normal to know that it is impossible, but in your heart, there is still a sense of disappointment in your expectations.
Xie Yiling looked at her silent expression, thought for a moment, and decided to ask a few more questions, "Doctor Ning, what is your father like now..."
Ning Xi looked at her and smiled slightly, "My father disappeared not long after I was born. I have never seen him."
"Ah? Missing? Why did he disappear?" Xie Yiling asked in surprise.
"I don't know. They say he suddenly disappeared one day. My mother has been looking for him for a long time, but until now... However, I heard from my sister that he is a native of City N and married to my mother in City N."
Ning Xi curled her lips. In fact, she had no feelings for her father, so she didn't care whether he was dead or missing.
If there is anything, it would probably be more resentment.
Because, if he had not disappeared, his mother would not have become sick with longing for him and eventually passed away, leaving them and their sisters to depend on each other, and finally they had to be taken in by their aunt.
Xie Yiling nodded slightly. If it was City N, then it was definitely not the right place, because her mother-in-law was from the imperial capital.
However, Xie Yiling saw her dull expression and thought she was unhappy, so she said hurriedly, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad memories."
"It doesn't matter. I've never met him and I don't have any feelings for him. So I can't say I'm sad." Ning Xi shrugged.
Xie Yiling looked at her and didn't know what to say for a moment. But if she put herself in her shoes, she might feel the same way.
Xiang Chuannan, who was standing at the stairs, lowered his eyes slightly.
The people he sent to City N have already sent back some news. Although for the time being, it seems to be as Ning Xi said, but...
With a faint light flashing in his eyes, he raised his head again and walked towards them.
Hearing the footsteps, Ning Xi and Xie Yiling turned around at the same time. Seeing that it was Xiang Chuannan, Xie Yiling hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm a little worried. How's Mom?" Xiang Chuannan walked over and sat beside her, then looked at Ning Xi.
Ning Xi also nodded to him, and Xie Yiling said: "Doctor Ning said that he can help with the treatment and help mom recover, but..."
Xie Yiling paused for a moment, then looked at Ning Xi again. Seeing that she didn't mind, she continued, "It seems that Mom's worry is because Dr. Ning looks a bit like your uncle, so it reminds her of her sad memories."
"I know." Xiang Chuannan nodded slightly, not looking surprised.
Xie Yiling's eyes widened in surprise: "How do you know? When did you know?"
I didn't even tell her!
This is too much!
Ning Xi was also a little surprised.
But then, she remembered the first time she met Xiang Chuannan.
What did he say at that time? It seemed like he had seen her before?
As a result, she thought she was a greasy guy and deliberately flirted with her. It turned out to be because she looked like her uncle!
Ning Xi suddenly felt fortunate that he didn't say anything excessive at the time, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
Xiang Chuannan said: "I just found out about this recently, but..."
He glanced at Ning Xi: "To be precise, Doctor Ning, you look more like my grandmother!"
Ning Xi: “…”
Xie Yiling was surprised again, "Really?"
"Well, wait a minute." Xiang Chuannan said, then suddenly stood up and left.
Xie Yiling and Ning Xi looked at each other.
After a while, Xiang Chuannan came over with a photo album, "This is my grandmother, and this is my uncle."
He opened the photo album and handed it to Ning Xi, then observed Ning Xi's reaction.
Ning Xi looked at the yellowed photos in the album. The dignified woman in the photo had facial features somewhat similar to the current Mrs. Xiang, but her bright and smiling eyes looked exactly like her!
On the other side, a young man in green military uniform, although he was serious and his expression was much more serious than that woman, his eyes were indeed a perfect replica of the woman's appearance, and the resemblance between his eyebrows was also ten times ten.
And this ten times ten resemblance made Ning Xi's brain explode with shock.
She stared blankly at the two people in the photo, her mind feeling extremely confused.
Xie Yiling and Xiang Chuannan both noticed that she was different. Xie Yiling asked, "Doctor Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Xi suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart, looked at the two people opposite him, and then pointed at the man in the photo and said: "I have never seen him, but... my sister looks very similar to him."
Although her sister Ning Yue did not inherit those bright and beautiful eyes like peach blossoms, her other facial features and spirit are exactly like him.
If one person looks alike it's just a coincidence, but how do you explain the fact that both sisters look alike?
Ning Xi felt her scalp tingling. Could it be that her missing father was really Madam Xiang’s younger brother?
Then why did Mrs. Xiang say that he died a long time ago?
What exactly is going on?
Xie Yiling was even more surprised. She couldn't even maintain her usual dignity. Her mouth was slightly open with an exaggerated expression.
Only Xiang Chuannan was still looking at Ning Xi calmly, as if he had anticipated this result.
"Is it really like that? But, but didn't you say..." Xie Yiling came back to her senses from her surprise and was full of doubts.
Ning Xi is only two years younger than her and four years younger than Xiang Chuannan, but she heard that this uncle died before her mother-in-law got married.
How can a dead person give birth to a child?
"I don't know either, but if you say similar, my sister is more like him, but my sister's eyes are more like my mother's." Ning Xi said, and took out her mobile phone to look through the photos of her and her sister in the past.
