Chapter 308: Dilemma

Hmm? Qin Buyu frowned, not really understanding what Shi Feiye meant. "Family?"

According to habitual logic, Qin Buzhu couldn't guess the cause and effect, but according to the plots in the novels that Shi Feiye usually wrote, there are many coincidences or strange settings that can be guessed:

"Are you the lost daughter of the Lin family? You saved the Lin family by coincidence, so the Lin family wants to recognize you as a relative? The Lin family did in vitro fertilization, so you and Lin Qiong are brother and sister? Did Lin Qiong's father have some accidental entanglement with your mother? Your family once saved the Lin family, so the Lin family came to repay the favor?"

Shi Feiye: "...Where did you see all this nonsense?"

"Hehe, isn't this what you wrote in your novel?" Qin Buzhu walked over with his long legs to Shi Feiye and sat down, putting his arms around Shi Feiye's waist in a soothing manner.

Shi Feiye didn't feel that she was comforted at all. Instead, she started to get angry: "You actually peeked at my novel?"

"It's not considered peeking. I was reading openly." Qin Buyu put on a calm and gentle face, making Shi Feiye feel that it was normal for the other person to read her novel, and that she was making a big deal out of nothing.

Qin Buzhu added: "I have to know what my wife did, and you didn't tell me not to watch it later."

"No, aren't you busy all day? How do you still have time to read my novel?" Shi Feiye was really furious, "Why would you read my novel when you have nothing to do? It's so embarrassing!"

Qin Buzhu tightened his grip, picked up Shi Feiye, put her on his knees, and then hugged her:

"What's embarrassing about this? It's obviously well-written, and it's already been adapted, right?"

This isn't the point at all!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now." Shi Feiye weakly pressed the appraisal book on the table with his index finger and moved it to the front, "Here, this is what Mr. Lin brought here today."

Qin Buzhu flipped through it and looked directly at the end, then remained silent for a while:

"In other words, you are the missing daughter of the Lin family, Lin Qiong's sister?"

"I don't know if it is true or not. I feel that Mr. Lin's attitude towards me is quite strange. It seems that he has already determined that I am his sister. He always feels that I have been wronged and that you are bullying me."

Shi Feiye felt the hand on her waist tighten. She was a little amused: "Of course, I explained to him that I was not bullied by you. Finally, I told him that I would discuss it with you, and then verify it myself and contact him again."

Qin Buzhu naturally saw the hair on the table and the name on the small bag: "Okay, then verify it first."

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is verified or not. Qin Buzhu knows that the Lin family will not recognize the wrong person.

Even in China, when he was a child, he had heard about the Lin family losing their daughter and going to great lengths to find her. However, they searched more extensively abroad, while they only did a cursory search in China because it was said that the person was lost abroad.

At that time, his grandfather specifically told him about all the chaotic things happening abroad, to warn him not to think that foreign countries are as safe as domestic ones. Even a family like the Lin family may not be 100% safe.

After so many years of searching, I still haven't heard the Lin family say they found their daughter. This shows that the Lin family's screening was very strict. Now that they say this, they must be very sure and I think they can't be wrong.

However, thinking about the efforts the Lin family had made in searching for their daughter over the years, and thinking about how much importance the Lin family attached to their lost daughter, Qin Buzhu couldn't help rubbing his brows.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Shi Feiye turned her head and saw that Qin Buju looked like he had a headache. She had never seen him show such an expression when facing serious matters, and she felt very distressed for a moment.

"Are you busy at work?" Shi Feiye pulled Qin Buju's hand away and used her own hand to rub his forehead. "It's my fault. I called you back without even asking if you were busy."

Qin Buzhu held her two small hands, resting his forehead against hers, and said in a serious yet gentle tone: "Have you forgotten what I said? You are the most important. Work matters are not as important as your affairs."

"But if you're tired, it's okay to put these things aside. You know who I am. These things are quite troublesome for me."

If not, it would be fine. But if she was really the daughter of the Lin family, that would be troublesome. She couldn't go to the Lin family and tell them that she was not their daughter, but had traveled through time and space to become their daughter's body, right?

The Lin family might even consider her the murderer. After all these years of finally finding their daughter, they discovered that she was dead. Wouldn’t they transfer their hatred to her and take revenge on her?

If that were the case, Qin Buzhu might also be implicated.

But if she didn't say it and had to face the Lin family like this, she wouldn't be able to get over the hurdle of her conscience.

People worked so hard to find their own daughter, but they didn't know that someone else had replaced her. This fake daughter deceived them and won their love and affection, and maybe even made a lot of money. What are people doing?

Thinking about it this way, she was caught in a dilemma and it was too difficult for her.

Qin Buzhu thought about it for a moment and understood Shi Feiye's worries, but he could see clearly:

"It wasn't your fault that you came to this world in the first place. You had no choice at all. Although it may sound a bit cold-blooded to say this, it was her own choice to get drunk, so her death was the consequence she had to bear. It had nothing to do with you. I told her the day before that I was busy during those days and asked her to calm down, and she didn't take it to heart."

"But the Lin family may not believe our explanation. If they get angry and you get implicated, we will be in trouble."

"If the Lin family can't accept it, then we will fight them. Although the Lin family has power in the country, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. We may not lose. What's more, I suspect that the people above will only let us sit down and negotiate in order to avoid unnecessary losses, and will not give us a chance to make a real move."

It sounds a bit cruel to say this, but the reality is not that simple. If Qin Buru really fought with the Lin family, the two parties' businesses were not in the same industry, which would inevitably lead to losses in their respective industries. It would not benefit anyone, and the people above would not sit idly by.

"But this didn't have to happen, alas."

What else can be done? Shi Feiye couldn't think of a good solution at all. The best solution was of course that the identification results were wrong, but the possibility was too low. Even if they forged it, the Lin family would conduct another identification themselves. There was no way to avoid it.

"Don't worry, I'm here for everything. Let's verify it first. If it's true, we'll tell the Lin family everything. Can't I protect you?"
