"You, what did you say? My son is alive?" In Ou Chunhua’s mind, there was a loud explosion, leaving it blank. "How is my son alive? No, I have a son beside —"
"Mrs. Ou, have you gone mad? The son by your side is not your biological child. We’re saying that your biological son never actually died."
Not dead?! How is that possible? But then again, it’s actually plausible. Was it because he was kidnapped? Since then, there had been no news. The private detective she hired secretly had no results, all efforts in vain. She had to quickly accept that the child was dead and forget him, or else Ou Shihua would discover the truth.
"If you’re saying he’s alive, where’s your evidence?"
"Evidence? Once Mrs. Ou ets him and does a blood test for paternity, won’t everything be clear?"
So, it’s really possible he didn’t die. Listening to these people, they seem quite convincing, not like they’re deceiving her. Besides, what would they gain by deceiving her about this? Ou Chunhua’s face fell, "You say my biological son is alive, could it be he’s with you guys?"
"No—"
"Where is he?"
"Mrs. Ou, you’re speaking thoughtlessly. Since that child didn’t die but has been hiding from his biological mother, who could have instigated him to do sothing so against human nature?"
At once, a na popped into Ou Chunhua’s head: Gu Nuan!

In the operating room, the surgery proceeded in an orderly manner. The two lead surgeons quickly delivered the child from the pregnant woman.
The sound of the crying baby wailed outside, and all the relatives anxiously waiting in the corridor grew excited.
Gu’s parents, Xiao Shuju, and everyone else jumped with joy, forgetting all the previous unpleasant disagreents between them, congratulating each other. Hearing the baby’s cries, they thought the child sounded strong, reminiscent of Sun Wukong bursting into the world with vigor.
"Hahaha—" Gu’s father laughed and said, "We said it was little Sun Wukong, and it turned out to be the Great Sage Equalling Heaven."
Old Lady Xiao was also full of joy, "My Great Sage Equalling Heaven, precious great-grandson."
Many people waited to have a baby in the Year of the Monkey. Their grandson was a fortunate fluke, getting it right. Smart, smart!
Everyone was happily waiting, excited for the little Great Sage Equalling Heaven to co out. Only Da Bai, suddenly promoted to father, quietly turned away.
Great Sage Equalling Heaven? Why is his child the Great Sage Equalling Heaven? He wished it were a little lamb, how nice, a lamb baby, a little girl snuggling in his arms, calling him daddy, warming his heart. He didn’t want a little monkey jumping around in front of him, definitely causing headaches for him and his wife.
But the elders didn’t see it that way, insisting it was a boy.
Old Lady Xiao said, "Listen to this crying, so strong, if it’s not a boy, what could it be a girl?"
Gu’s parents weren’t biased towards boys over girls, it’s just that after their own son left, they’ve always felt an emotional void for a boy in the family. It’d be nice if Gu Nuan really gave them a precious grandson.
Xiao Shuju tiptoed as she listened, and sothing seed amiss: "Why do I feel like these cries sound like a choir?"
"A choir? What choir?" Old Lady Xiao couldn’t understand the roundabout talk, it clearly seed like the Great Sage Equalling Heaven’s first lively appearance on Monkey Mountain.
When Gu’s parents heard this, and listened more carefully, indeed, the cries seed mixed. Sotis it was "woo woo woo," other tis "waa waa waa." The problem wasn’t that "woo woo woo" followed by "waa waa waa" or vice versa. Instead, "woo woo woo waa waa waa" ca together. Didn’t this turn into a double act?
