Shen Jingyao's hand trembled slightly. Lin Jingyu noticed this, reached out and took Shen Jingyao's hand, and said with a smile, "Mom, is this your first time meeting a big star? Are you a little nervous?"

"Don't be nervous, Aunt Su is a very nice person. Although she's a big star, she's not arrogant at all. She's nothing like those big stars who like to act like divas!"

Shen Jingyao glanced at Lin Jingyu, but she didn't say anything.

To be precise, she didn't know how to respond to Lin Jingyu's words.

Since this morning, she has been unable to calm down, and her mind has been filled with many thoughts.

She is extremely sensitive to certain things, especially when she is with Su Ying, this feeling becomes even stronger.

Shen Jingyao looked at Su Ying's face, but for a moment it was hard to see clearly.

Looking at Su Ying's face, she saw a resemblance to Lin Jingyu in his old age. Shen Jingyao suddenly said, "Ms. Su, you really look like Jingyu!"

"If you two walk together, people will think you're mother and daughter, right?"

Lin Jingyu nodded and said with a smile, "That's why people in the entertainment industry call me Little Su Ying. When I first debuted, they said I looked like Aunt Su and have always called me Little Su Ying."

"Many people say that even biological children might not look this alike."

Su Ying reached for her glass, concealing her inner joy. She loved it when people said Lin Jingyu looked like her. It felt so good to be openly told that Jingyu resembled her!

"Yes, I find it strange too. Many people say we look alike."

"Actually, I didn't think so at first, but later I found that I do look a lot like Jingyu. Our eyes, noses, even our face shape and widow's peak are similar."

"When I look at Jingyu, I'm reminded of my youth. Oh, I really miss how I was in the prime of my youth back then."

Su Ying put on a sentimental expression and said with a smile.

Shen Jingyao nodded and said, "Indeed, Jing Yu and Ms. Su do look very alike."

“From childhood to adulthood, whenever I take her out, people say she doesn’t look like me and think she looks like my husband. Actually, when my husband takes her out, people think she looks like me, but she doesn’t look like either of us at all.”

"It's strange, but Jingyu's three older brothers look a lot like us, which makes everyone wonder if my daughter has a genetic mutation."

Shen Jingyao glanced at Su Ying, then added, "Or perhaps we switched our daughters!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ying's expression changed slightly, and she instantly lost her elegant and charming demeanor, her presence and figure gradually weakening.

"Ms. Shen, it's not a good thing to say such things. If Jing Yu takes it to heart, he'll be heartbroken."

Lin Jingyu laughed and said, "I'm not sad at all. If my parents had switched my parents, I'd go find my real parents right away!"

Lin Jingyu really just said it casually. She thought it was just a joke and she said it in a moment of inspiration. Little did she know that her words had completely changed their meaning in Shen Jingyao's ears.

Shen Jingyao was already in a very sensitive state, and Lin Jingyu's words really hurt her.

She glanced at Lin Jingyu, slightly tugged at the corners of her mouth, and stopped stroking Lin Jingyu's hand.

She placed Lin Jingyu's hand back on his lap, her forced smile vanishing. She said sternly, "So, according to you, I've raised an ungrateful wretch?"

Lin Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then she said in a coquettish tone, "How am I an ungrateful wretch? If I weren't your biological daughter, wouldn't you let me go find my real parents?"

Shen Jingyao felt her temples throbbing. "Even if we were switched at birth, it wasn't intentional."

"When you found out there was a mistake, instead of being grateful for our care, your first thought was to find your biological parents. Isn't that ungrateful?"

"Okay, then I'll tell you now, you really aren't my biological child. Are you going to go find your biological parents right now?"

At this moment, Lin Jingyu noticed the change in her mother's attitude. She quickly put her arm around Shen Jingyao's shoulder and said with a grin, "Mom, I was just joking. Even if I did hug her, I won't go back, okay?"

Su Ying huddled in the corner, not daring to say a word. At this moment, she felt both distressed and terrified.

Perhaps because she felt guilty, she couldn't express her feelings in words.

She can only watch helplessly as her daughter snuggles in someone else's arms, calls that person "Mom," and makes that person happy.

All of this should have belonged to her, her biological mother!

Lin Jingyu placed his hand on Shen Jingyao's arm. "Mom, don't be angry. I was wrong. I'll never make such silly jokes again!"

Shen Jingyao was ultimately soft-hearted. She glanced at Lin Jingyu and said, "You still have at least a shred of conscience!"

Lin Jingyu laughed and said, "I have a conscience. Even if my own mother stood in front of me, I would never acknowledge her, okay?"

Chen Jingyao finally managed a slight smile, "Okay!"

But to Su Ying, these words felt like needles piercing her heart.

Even if her own mother stood right in front of her, she would absolutely not recognize her.

Shen Jingyao forced Jing Yu to say those words!

Su Ying felt her hands were a little numb. She was angry. She was furious at Shen Jingyao's coercion of Jing Yu. Did she have to make Jing Yu say such things?

Was Shen Jingyao doing this on purpose?

However, Su Ying didn't dare to say a word. She thought about what Shen Jingyao had just said, that Jing Yu and she were more like mother and daughter. Was she saying it unintentionally, or did Shen Jingyao realize something?

At this moment, Su Ying didn't have time to think more. She was more afraid that Shen Jingyao would really brainwash Jing Yu and make her not acknowledge her biological mother.

So Su Ying deliberately said, "Of course it's wrong to be ungrateful, and none of us should be ingrates. However, there's something I still have to say: sometimes the debt of gratitude between a birth mother and an adoptive mother is indeed hard to explain."

Shen Jingyao raised her eyes and looked coldly at Su Ying. "It seems that Ms. Su has some insightful opinions. Unfortunately, some things are obvious. If you're talking about child trafficking, then the adoptive mother is the buyer. What makes her a adoptive mother?"

"If a child is adopted through legitimate channels, then the adoptive mother is the biological mother. What does the birth mother even matter?"

"Of course, if there are other reasons for the unfortunate coincidences, then we must look at the objective facts. It's not something that can be determined simply by someone saying whether someone is the adoptive mother or the biological mother."

Su Ying twitched the corner of her mouth: "That's true, but if there's no birth mother, where would the child come from? It's important for the adoptive mother to raise the child, but we can't forget the kindness of the birth mother!"
