Chapter 58: Seeking Him Out
saying is that you came to see Peony, but when you saw us here, you left. Was it because you were certain you wouldn't get to see Peony, or was there some arrangement between you"Miyata narrowed his..."No, the human trafficking gang on the train wasn't caught. The child was sold deep into the mountains. When Zhao family found him, he was already ten years old and didn't recognize them. Zhao family found out that it was their business rivals who did this."
The stone mill immediately explained.
Wu Lianyi touched her double chin and said with great satisfaction:
It seems like I'm lucky, helping others and myself in the process.
"...
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Well then, I needn't keep feeding these useless lumps any longer!"
Wu Lianyi spent a leisurely summer vacation, and during her forty days in the capital, she gradually lost weight to sixty kilograms, completely getting rid of the word "fat." Her youthful beauty was beginning to bloom. Even Wu Junyi was amazed by it.
"I didn't expect you to look so good after losing weight."
If you can't speak, just keep quiet.
"Shouldn't I praise you But why don't you look like our dad or mom"
Wu Junyi murmured softly.
“I look like our mother!”
Wu Lianyi said calmly.
At this time, Wu Yong's mother was still alive and in good health. She loved her eldest granddaughter, Wu Lianyi, very much because she had raised her herself.
On the other hand, Zhao Fenglin began to investigate after meeting Wu Lianyi.
If he had only seen Wu Lianyi, he would have thought her appearance resembled his beloved, and the coincidence of birth time, place, and hometown with his own daughter would have merely aroused some suspicion.
Because he still remembered, at that time his wife's old classmate's lover also gave birth on the same day.
But when he saw Wu Lianyi showing him a family photo, he became utterly suspicious. The reason was that the woman in the photo looked exactly like his daughter Zhao Xianrou, only one was a young version and the other a middle-aged version.
So when Wu Lian Yi brought Wu Jun Yi back home, she unsurprisingly saw Zhao Feng Lin and Zhou Meng Yu, as well as the awkwardly accompanying Wu Yong couple.
While Zhou Mengyu and Wan Guifen, who were previously doubtful, saw Wu Lianyi's successful weight loss, their expressions were different.
Zhou Mengyu's doubts instantly vanished. Her eyes turned red as she realized the girl before her was her biological daughter.
Meanwhile, a look of disappointment, dejection, and a hint of relief crossed Wan Guifen's face.
Only Wu Junyi was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Zhou Mengyu, then at his own sister, and blurted out:
"Sister, how come she looks so much like you"
"I don't know."
Wu Lianyi feigned ignorance and then looked at Zhao Fenglin, asking in a puzzled tone:
"Mr. Zhao, did you come to my home especially to thank me"
"Zhao, thank you Ripples, what happened"
Wu Yong broke the silence.
It is obvious that the two parties have just met and haven't formally entered the main topic yet.
I know about this.
Wu Junyi was completely unaffected by the eerie atmosphere and began to chatter about his encounter with a human trafficking gang on the train.
Wu Yong and Wan Guifen were also taken aback after hearing this, especially Wan Guifen. She grabbed Wu Jinyi's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Ripples, you're too bold. When you realized something was wrong, you should have told the police... "
Before Wu Yong could finish his words, he was interrupted by his wife.
"Alright, just keep your mouth shut. Those are human traffickers, they've been eyeing their siblings for a while now."
They calculated that they could use the fact that Ripples is nervous about her younger brother to set a trap. They knew you and I would fall for it too. How old is the child This time, it was close but we escaped unharmed. You shouldn't lecture us.
Wan Guifen's words were truly heartfelt; her son was the treasure of her heart.
Wu Yong could only awkwardly cough once and then said nothing more.
It was this human trafficker gang that allowed me to meet Liàn Yī, she even saved my nephew Zhao Zǐ Tóng. It was because of this that I discovered the mistake from seventeen years ago.
Zhao Fenglin directly cut to the chase.
Wu Lianyi only looked at Wu Yong, her nominal father.
"Ripples, you are not our daughter. You are the daughter of Mr. Zhao and Zhou Mengyu."
You were born in the same hospital, and your birth times were very close. Because of a nurse's negligence, you two were switched at birth.
Wu Yong spoke first.
"Huh Really You're kidding me!"
Before Wu Lian Yi could even manage a surprised expression, Wu Jun Yi loudly spoke.
"You, child…"
Wan Gui Fen glared at her son, but before she could finish speaking, Wu Lian Yi interrupted her with feigned surprise.
"I mean, how could there be such a coincidence I don't believe it. It can't just be based on looks alone, right!"
Wu Lianyi finished speaking and looked at Wan Guifen, as if seeking confirmation.
"Ripples, there is no mistake about this. We have already done a parentage test."
Zhao Fenglin gave a positive reply.
This was followed by Wu Lianyi’s long silence, as if she wasn’t willing to accept this fact. She got up directly and returned to her own small room, shutting the door tightly behind her.
Meanwhile, Wu Junyi looked this way and that, then closed his mouth, trying his best to minimize his presence.
An awkward silence fell upon the small living room, and Wan Guifen cautiously glanced at the two people opposite her before softly speaking:
The ripples are still small, and she couldn't accept it for a moment. She had been our daughter for seventeen years, and suddenly she said she wasn't our child. Don't even talk about children; we don't have the energy to even think about it anymore.
"I can also see that both of you are successful people, your conditions are definitely better than ours. Even so, we haven't treated our children poorly, we've done our best to give them the best. Ripples has also been raised in our palm."
"Aunt Wan, I could tell just by looking."
Zhou Mengyu nodded and said.
In this regard, Wan Guifen did a good job with her facade project. Even her husband, Wu Yong, couldn't find fault with her. As for the preferential treatment she gave to her youngest son in private, even if Wu Yong knew about it, he wouldn't say much. He was quite traditional and had some patriarchal views. After all, sons are meant to carry on the family line.
“So, is my daughter okay Does she know about this”
Wàn Guìfēn nervously twisted her fingers and asked.
We haven't told Qiaorou about this yet. She's on vacation in France.
Zhou Mengyu said in a low voice.
This matter, the couple had not discussed how to tell Xianrou, and besides, she wasn't in Modu. It was obviously inappropriate to say it over the phone, so the two decided unanimously to bring Lianyi back first.
Then, wait for Fenrou to come back and tell her face-to-face, and the two children were switched at birth. There are many suspicious points here, they didn't investigate clearly.
When Wan Guifen heard this, although her face showed some worry, she was actually very happy in her heart. After all, her own child enjoyed the best resources. If her biological daughter were by her side, there would be no chance to spend her summer vacation abroad. This is the gap.
Then can I meet her
Wan Guifen asked carefully.
Of course, she is your daughter.
Zhao Fenglin nodded.
"I'm so sorry, but Ripple probably won't be going with you today. Let me talk to her again, okay"
As the head of the household, Wu Yong tactfully suggested it was time for his guests to leave. He really needed to think this over carefully.
A knock on the door sounded, "Knock knock". Wu Junyi opened the door first. Standing outside was a stranger he didn't recognize. problem, right"The ripples continued to ask."Of course!"This time Carter answered very definitively."No problem then! I got lucky and when I entered the game, I drew a big treasure chest. It had some...
