Chapter 150 The Adopted Abandoned Baby

In the evening, An Ning had not yet finished the meeting, and Lu Xiyan was buying a cake at the dessert shop.

While wandering around, he came across a dessert shop that had an original pudding cake that was very similar to the one in Jinghai's cake shop, but he didn't know if the taste was similar. He decided to buy some for An Ning to try.

Just after paying the bill, Liang Xu called.

"Mr. Lu, is there something wrong with the couple you asked me to investigate?"

Lu Xiyan frowned slightly, "What's the problem?"

"According to the information I've checked, there's no birth certificate for their child, let alone any other documentation," Liang Xu said. "Furthermore, according to the medical records the couple left at the hospital over 30 years ago, Ms. Kong Yiyun is infertile."

Lu Xiyan's hand, which was about to open the car door, suddenly stopped and asked, "Infertile?"

"Not only that, there's something even more exciting."

Liang Xu continued to speak on the other end of the phone, and Lu Xiyan's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

After hanging up the phone, he got into the car, put the cake on the passenger seat, held the steering wheel but did not start the car. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and made a call to arrange a time and place for the other party to meet.

......

The quiet teahouse is located halfway up the mountain. It is extremely private and has a particularly wide view. Looking out, you can see the blue sea and blue sky. The place where the sea and the sky meet is dyed orange by the setting sun and is reflected on the deep sea surface.

The room was filled with the aroma of tea. Jiang Xiaoshan watched the man opposite her fiddle with the tea set with his bone-like fingers, skillfully making tea. After a while, a cup of golden tea was handed to her.

Jiang Xiaoshan took it with a smile, "Mr. Lu, do you have news so soon?"

"Aunt Jiang, forgive me for asking, but is the daughter Professor and his wife have been looking for all these years really their biological daughter?" Lu Xiyan looked at the woman's slightly surprised eyes and smiled softly, "If we want to find this daughter, there are some things we can't hide."

Jiang Xiaoshan's smile froze on her face. "What did Mr. Lu find out?"

"Professor Jiang and his wife have been devoted to medical research. They have been married for many years but have no children. They claim that their work is their priority, but the truth is that Professor Kong cannot have children due to health reasons, right?"

"It wasn't until they were middle-aged that they finally had a daughter. But how did this daughter come about?" Lu Xiyan looked at Jiang Xiaoshan, his calm gaze penetrating. "Without a birth certificate or adoption registration, there are only two possible reasons: either she was found or she was adopted."

Lu Xiyan looked at Jiang Xiaoshan's heavy face and knew that he had guessed right.

"But if it was an abandoned baby, Professor Jiang and his wife would have had to submit a police report showing they had found the baby when they went through the relevant procedures. Apparently, they didn't have that."

Jiang Xiaoshan listened to his analysis, lowered her head and drank tea, without saying a word.

Lu Xiyan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "If you still want me to help you find someone, I need to know the real situation."

Jiang Xiaoshan put down the teacup and raised her head, just in time to meet the man's deep eyes.

Those were a pair of eyes that looked more than twenty years younger than her, but they held an unfathomable power.

After a while, she spoke, "Twenty-eight years ago, a woman came to Dianhai with a newborn baby girl. When she was about to abandon the baby, my sister-in-law saw her and stopped her."

"The woman said she got pregnant out of wedlock, and when she was about to give birth, her boyfriend took all their savings and ran off with another woman. She gave birth to this child alone, and her family said she had brought shame to the family and would beat her to death if she brought the child back home."

At this point, Jiang Xiaoshan sighed deeply, "That woman was so pitiful. She said she had no ability or education to raise a baby girl, so she thought of abandoning the child. If the child could be found and raised by someone, then she would be lucky. If she had a hard life, then she would be reborn into a good family as soon as possible."

"So, Professor Kong adopted this girl?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"Yes." Jiang Xiaoshan nodded. "My sister-in-law saw that this baby girl was fair and cute. It happened that she and her husband were middle-aged and still childless. They had originally planned to adopt one from an orphanage, but when they saw this baby girl, they felt a connection and decided to raise her."

Lu Xiyan asked, "However, is it possible that the woman later changed her mind, so the child may have been taken away by his biological mother?"

"Impossible." Jiang Xiaoshan categorically rejected the idea. "That woman isn't from here. She came from the north. When she handed the child to my sister-in-law, she took all the money she was given. She said she didn't want anything, as long as my sister-in-law agreed to one condition."

Lu Xiyan frowned slightly, "What conditions?"

Jiang Xiaoshan looked at him, "She said that from now on, this baby girl cannot set foot in Jinghai, and she is not allowed to tell her biological parents. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with her."

Lu Xiyan's eyes were deep. If he didn't want to recognize his relatives, it was understandable, but what was the reason for not allowing him to go to Jinghai?

"Is that woman from Jinghai?"

"I don't know," Jiang Xiaoshan said. "She just said she was from the north and was determined not to take the child back. My sister-in-law took the long distance from the south to the north and the other party had no intention of taking the child back, so she felt comfortable enough to adopt the child."

Lu Xiyan stroked the teacup in his hand, "What's that girl's name?"

"Jiang Zhi."
