Tao Rui accompanied Zhu Xiaoyun to a professional appraisal center for an appraisal. Because they had to queue up and would get the results at the earliest the next afternoon, Tao Rui advised Zhu Xiaoyun not to overthink it.

"There are celebrities who look alike. It's not uncommon. If it turns out to be okay, don't be disappointed. We can ask someone to help find your parents."

Zhu Xiaoyun nodded and smiled, "I know the Luo family is so wealthy, they wouldn't abandon their child, nor would they lose him. I'm not holding out much hope, so don't worry."

The two of them went home first, but on the other side, Luo's father and mother were also feeling uneasy.

The two of them didn't go to the company and went straight home. On the way, Luo's mother said, "No matter what caused Qiqi to become like this, it's ultimately our fault. Let's put my company affairs in the hands of a few managers. I'll connect with them via video conference and have my secretary bring all the documents for signature home. From now on, I'll stay home with Qiqi until she's calmed down."

Father Luo nodded and said, "It's time to discipline him more strictly. Let's take turns. It's inconvenient for you not to go to the company all the time."

Luo's mother sighed, "It's more inconvenient for you as a father to take care of a girl of Qiqi's age. I'll take care of her and see how things go first. Besides, she has to go to school too. She's only a sophomore, so she can't stay at home all day. I'll go to the company to check on her when she's in class."

She rubbed her temples and closed her eyes. "Is it easy to learn bad habits when you have more material things? Look at Tao Rui and Zhu Xiaoyun, they're both smart and sensible. If Qiqi were half as sensible as them, I'd be satisfied. If we hadn't discovered it in time this time, I don't dare to imagine what would have happened to Zhu Xiaoyun. It's too terrible."

Luo Jiaqi had instructed Aunt Hong to do this. If even the kidnapping was Luo Jiaqi's idea, that was truly horrifying. They all felt that this daughter was so strange, as if they had never met her before.

Father Luo always felt that something was wrong. He frowned and muttered, "Aunt Hong has been retired for ten years. Why is Qiqi looking for her? We don't have Aunt Hong's contact information anymore. How could Qiqi have it?"

Luo's mother also frowned. "I just talked to Aunt Hong, and she was evasive, saying it had nothing to do with Qiqi. Is she going to take this on herself? Then when did they get in touch? Qiqi couldn't have taken the initiative to find Aunt Hong. It must have been Aunt Hong who found Qiqi, and that's why they started communicating. But why would Aunt Hong find her? She's just a child. If Aunt Hong has any problems, she can come to me."

If you think about it carefully, you can still see the wrong details.

Why did Aunt Hong take the initiative to look for Luo Jiaqi? They guessed that she was in trouble and came to ask for help, so Luo's mother immediately asked her secretary to check all of Luo Jiaqi's bank statements for the past few years.

The secretary acted quickly, and what shocked Luo's parents was that Luo Jiaqi had transferred money to an account every year for the past ten years. At the beginning, the amount was not much, only tens of thousands, but later it became hundreds of thousands and millions. Sometimes he would transfer money three or four times a year, adding up to a total of 20 million!

The account secretary also found out that the person who opened the account was Aunt Hong!

At this moment, Luo's father and mother suddenly realized that there was definitely a huge secret hidden in this. It was not what they thought that Luo Jiaqi turned from love to hate and sought revenge on Aunt Hong against Tao Rui and Zhu Xiaoyun.

Ten years ago, Luo Jiaqi was only ten years old, and it was also the time when Aunt Hong retired. What was the reason that Luo Jiaqi was blackmailed by Aunt Hong for ten years and dared not say a word?

The car just arrived home. Luo's mother got out of the car and went straight to Luo Jiaqi's room, holding the bill on her mobile phone in front of her.

"What's going on? Explain to me clearly why you gave Aunt Hong so much money?"

Luo Jiaqi was stunned for a moment, and looked at them with a look of horror, "Why are you investigating me?"

"Don't you know what you asked Aunt Hong to do?" Luo's mother deliberately deceived her, wanting to test whether she knew the inside story of kidnapping and trafficking.

The panic that could not be concealed on Luo Jiaqi's face made Luo's mother's eyes go dark and she almost fainted!

Luo's father hurriedly helped Luo's mother sit down and scolded her, "Aunt Hong has been arrested, and you still don't tell the truth? Is she blackmailing you? Why have you been giving her money since you were ten years old?"

Luo Jiaqi was completely bewildered. She had never imagined that the secret she had painstakingly hidden for ten years would suddenly be exposed. She forced herself to calm down, telling herself that since they were asking her this, they didn't know the truth yet. But she couldn't think of anything to say to break the deadlock. She pushed them out, locked the door, slid down to the floor, and cried in fear.

Why was she so unlucky? Everything was exposed before she could do anything. She'd been fine for the past ten years, so why was it that the more she tried to hide it, the faster it was exposed? When did they start watching her? Had they already guessed the truth?

Luo Jiaqi's mind was in a mess. Aunt Hong and her son were both in the police station. She had no one to talk to, so she could only hide in the house and dare not see anyone. At least she had to wait until she and Aunt Hong had talked it over. Otherwise, if Aunt Hong gave her some reason, she would be exposed if she made up a story.

Luo's parents were furious with her behavior. They stopped questioning her and instead investigated the suspicious activities of Aunt Hong's family. However, investigating further would take time. Thinking of Zhu Xiaoyun's appearance, they felt a vague sense of unease. If Zhu Xiaoyun was related to them, then... it was simply too hard to believe.

They had the servants guard Luo Jiaqi and not allow her to leave the house. They also hired two bodyguards to secretly protect Zhu Xiaoyun and Tao Rui, fearing that something might happen again and harm them without their knowledge. Once the results of the investigation into Aunt Hong's family were out, the truth would be revealed.

But they didn't expect that Tao Rui would ask them to meet early the next morning.

It was true that Tao Rui told Zhu Xiaoyun that the appraisal report could only be obtained the next day, but not in the afternoon of the next day, but early in the morning of the next day.

He found an excuse to go out early and went directly to get the identification report, and found that Zhu Xiaoyun was really the daughter of Luo's parents. So he went to meet Luo's parents alone to see their attitude and then decide what to do.

Tao Rui arranged to meet them in a private room at a teahouse. Straight to the point, he laid the identification report before them. "I'm sorry, but I was a bit cunning when I invited you for coffee yesterday. I did a diagnosis on you and Xiaoyun. The results show that she is your biological daughter. For some unknown reason, she was abandoned in such a remote town twenty years ago and was then picked up by the Zhu family."

Luo's father and mother looked at each other, and hurriedly took the appraisal report to check it. In an instant, they connected everything together, and everything had a reasonable reason.

Losing a child is something that really wouldn't happen in a family like theirs, so they never thought about it that way unless the person who did it was someone close to them.

At that time, Luo's mother was often drowsy in the hospital. Aunt Hong took very good care of her and the children. She was very grateful to Aunt Hong.

It turns out that Aunt Hong secretly replaced her child!

That's why Aunt Hong is so nice to Luo Jiaqi, and that's why Luo Jiaqi gives Aunt Hong money.

But this very point was even more difficult for them to accept. Why did Luo Jiaqi give money to Aunt Hong? Did Luo Jiaqi know the truth at the age of ten, so she gave the money to her real family, or was she afraid that Aunt Hong would reveal the truth and gave her hush money?

Doesn't this mean that Luo Jiaqi was just pretending in front of them and deceived them for ten years?

The shock of their own children suddenly turning into venomous snakes was enormous. The love they poured into their children was genuine, but the heartache caused by the deception at that moment far outweighed the shock of knowing the truth.

Tao Rui looked at their unhappy faces and said slowly, "It was winter when the Zhu family picked up Xiaoyun. It was extremely cold that year and there was a lot of snow. Xiaoyun was thrown in the snow and was almost buried in the snow, so she couldn't be seen at all. There was no one nearby. Uncle Zhu took Aunt Zhu to the town to see a doctor and left there. Xiaoyun cried so hard that her voice was hoarse. They thought it was a kitten crying, but Aunt Zhu was kind and asked Uncle Zhu to go take a look, and then they saw Xiaoyun.

Terrified, they both took off their cotton coats to wrap Xiaoyun and took her to the hospital. Xiaoyun developed a high fever and was nearly unable to be saved. In that small town, doctors couldn't compare to those in the capital, and the medical environment wasn't good either. Xiaoyun was truly lucky to be alive. Aunt Zhu had spent all her medical money on Xiaoyun, leaving her to endure the pain herself, and even then, she developed a persistent illness.

They later walked back and forth in the area, asking many people, but could not get any information about Xiaoyun. Finally, they decided to adopt Xiaoyun and brought her back home.

He paused and continued, "Our village values ​​boys over girls. Others laughed at the Zhu family for adopting a girl. Xiaoyun was strong-willed and didn't want them to be laughed at. She did everything better than boys since she was a child. She worked in the fields, fought with boys, got first place in exams, and never cried in front of others when she was wronged.

Unfortunately, Uncle Zhu and Aunt Zhu died young, and their medical expenses drained the family's savings. Xiaoyun, a filial child, insisted on their medical care, leaving them with nothing but their house and land. My mother took Xiaoyun in to raise her, but she couldn't afford to send her to school, so she helped with household chores. I wasn't very savvy before, and I didn't know how to take care of a girl. After she came to the capital with me, she lived in a small house of just a few square meters, washing my clothes, cooking for me, and working three jobs to earn money for me. It wasn't until recently that I took a shine to her that her life began to improve.

The woman you see now is the happiest she has ever been. But the past twenty years have been filled with pain you cannot imagine.”

Luo's mother didn't cry when she found out that she was deceived by Luo Jiaqi, but she couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this.

The daughter she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy should have been spoiled by her like a little princess, but she was suffering outside. As a mother, it was more painful than having her own child suffer.

She said in a trembling voice: "Does Xiaoyun know? I want to see her, let me see my daughter."

Tao Rui shook his head, looked at them and said, "I want to know what you plan to do. Will you recognize her? What about Luo Jiaqi? If Xiaoyun hadn't been lucky this time, she would have been sold to the mountains by Luo Jiaqi. Perhaps we would never see her again in this life, and her remaining life would be even more painful than the past twenty years. What do you plan to do with Luo Jiaqi?"

Both of them were stunned. They were very excited and hadn't thought about it that much.

Luo's father's eyes were also red. He took a deep breath and held Luo's mother's hand. "Let's think about it, let's think about it."

The twenty years of love are not fake. Although Luo Jiaqi is not their child, they raised her as their own child, and the love they gave cannot be taken back.

But this wasn't just a case of a mistakenly-taken child, or a babysitter's child swap. Luo Jiaqi knew about it, and had known about it for a decade. This meant that the Luo Jiaqi they saw was simply an illusion. Did she truly have affection for them? Did she truly call them "Mommy and Daddy"? Or did she just treat them as scapegoats, cash machines?

Regardless, Luo Jiaqi's actions were in cahoots with Aunt Hong. They couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhu Xiaoyun died during these years. Even if they knew the truth, it wouldn't be enough to make up for it. Aunt Hong was guilty, and so was Luo Jiaqi.

The scars caused by betrayal cannot be healed, let alone such a devastating betrayal.

Their daughter suffered so much, why should Luo Jiaqi, who had deceived them, still be loved? Regardless of their feelings for Luo Jiaqi, this was too unfair to Zhu Xiaoyun.

They understood what Tao Rui meant and knew that Tao Rui was really protecting Zhu Xiaoyun, so they had a much better impression of him.

They didn't think too long. Mother Luo made the decision first. "Luo Jiaqi gave Aunt Hong over 20 million yuan, and we haven't treated her unfairly over the years. Let her take her things and go wherever she wants. From now on..."

Luo's mother looked out the window and said softly, "She's grown up now. Don't contact her anymore. As for those who broke the law, we will hold them accountable."

Father Luo held her hand tightly and said, "Let's do it."

He then said to Tao Rui, "Let's go back and take care of Luo Jiaqi's matter now. Tomorrow... tomorrow we'll come pick up Xiaoyun?"

Luo's mother looked at Tao Rui eagerly. If Luo Jiaqi's matter had not been dealt with yet, she would have wanted to see Zhu Xiaoyun right now and start making up for the past twenty years.

Tao Rui could see they were serious about this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoyun is also looking forward to meeting her parents. I'll go back and tell her first so she can be prepared. I hope you can treat Xiaoyun better in the future. She deserves your kindness."

Luo's mother nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes again. She was not a crybaby at all, but her daughter had suffered so much in a place she couldn't see, and yet she had grown up so well, she really couldn't help herself.

After Tao Rui left, Luo's father and mother sat in the box for a while and then went home directly.

In addition to heartache, they were also furious. How could Luo Jiaqi have deceived them for ten years? When they questioned her the day before, she had locked herself in her room, acting aggrieved. This family had truly deceived them terribly and harmed their daughter.

Not only that, this family wants to continue to harm Xiaoyun. What is their reason? It is obvious.

Then there is no emotion at all.

Both Luo's parents were managers of the company, and they were quick and decisive in making decisions, never dragging their feet. Regardless of their emotions, they knew the right decision intellectually, so they didn't hesitate this time.

After they left, Luo Jiaqi jumped out of the window and went to the police station to see Aunt Hong. The two of them agreed on their statements before going home with peace of mind.

Her eyes were red, and she looked haggard as she sat on the sofa. She started crying as soon as she saw Mr. and Mrs. Luo, choking with sobs, "Dad, Mom, I'm really not as bad as you think. I didn't ask anyone to hurt Zhu Xiaoyun. I gave Aunt Hong the money only because you weren't home when she came to see you. I knew her family was in urgent need of money, so I transferred it to her."

She's always been so good to me, shouldn't I repay her by taking care of her? I remember you were also very good to her. It was wrong of me to kick you out yesterday, but I'm really angry and sad. I don't understand why you doubted me.

Luo's mother looked at the servant, who quickly whispered, "The young lady went out today and won't be back for three hours."

Luo's mother sat down and pressed her forehead, "Qiqi, we have found a doctor who can do a paternity test. We will do a test later."

Luo Jiaqi's aggrieved expression suddenly turned into shock and anger. She stood up suddenly and asked, "What kind of identification? Why do you want an identification? What do you mean, Mom?"

Father Luo looked at her and said in a disappointed voice, "We all know this already. The identification must be done. If you disagree, then it's assumed that you are not our daughter. Go pack your things and leave today. I will have someone transfer your household registration out."

Identification is necessary, but with many facts before us, identification becomes the final verification.

Luo Jiaqi took two steps back and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean? What do you know? What do you mean... I'm not your daughter?"

Her voice really trembled, not because of grievance, but because of fear!

Luo's mother closed her eyes with a headache, and Luo's father briefly recounted the process of their discovery of the truth, including that they had already made it clear with Zhu Xiaoyun that Zhu Xiaoyun was their biological daughter.

They never suspected that Tao Rui had cheated because the result was perfectly reasonable.

Luo Jiaqi shook her head, bewildered, her eyes flickering, but she still gritted her teeth in denial, "You suspect me without any evidence, and I don't accept it. I won't even identify it. I'm clearly your daughter, and you want to throw your daughter away just because of a few words from an outsider? I've called you mom and dad for twenty years. Is that wrong?"

But the more she did this, the angrier Luo's parents became. She continued to argue, and Luo's mother, unable to bear it any longer, smashed a cup and sternly said, "Luo Jiaqi! Be a person with dignity, don't be shameless. Do you think we can tolerate you continuing to pester us after you hurt our daughter?"

We've already had your household registration moved out, and Secretary Liu will hand it over to you tomorrow. "Now, pack your things immediately. Before dark, no matter how much you pack, you must leave. Anything you don't take with you doesn't belong to you!"

Luo Jiaqi shuddered with fear, and as the cup shattered, her extravagant hopes also shattered.

She felt guilty and afraid when she first hid the truth from them. She'd imagined countless scenarios where the truth would be revealed, countless ways to cope, and countless things to say. But only at this moment did she realize that Luo's parents hadn't given her a chance to speak. Because she wasn't their daughter, they couldn't tolerate her.

Luo Jiaqi had been consciously asking for things and money over the years, so even if she left like this, she would still be very rich. She took one last look at them, then ran upstairs without looking back to pack her things into the box.

Luo's father and mother were even more disappointed. This child really had no remorse at all. What else could they say?

Luo Jiaqi didn't know that her parents had driven her away not because of blood ties, but because of her deception, her scheming, and her cruelty. They could never forgive Luo Jiaqi for hurting Zhu Xiaoyun, ever.

The doctor came to identify the patient, but there was no need for further identification. Luo Jiaqi's reaction once again verified everything, which made people feel sick just thinking about it.

Before nightfall, Luo Jiaqi had called a car to move several boxes of stuff, completely emptying her bedroom. Her dresser, her closet, her bathroom... everything she could carry was gone. She knew she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Luo family, and she would never receive anything from her parents again.

Luo's father and mother did not show up, but they stood at the bedroom window and watched Luo Jiaqi leave.

Luo Jiaqi was filled with mixed emotions and resented their ruthlessness, leaving without hesitation. This had completely severed all the affection Luo's father and mother had for her, giving her these things and severing all ties.

The two walked into Luo Jiaqi's bedroom and looked around slowly, as if they were watching the process of Luo Jiaqi growing from a baby to twenty years old, and now the place was clean and nothing was left.

Luo's mother said sadly: "We have never done anything wrong to anyone, why did we have to endure this? We missed our daughter for twenty years."

Father Luo put his arm around her shoulders and sighed, "Don't dwell on the past. Natural and man-made disasters are inevitable. Fortunately, we still have the opportunity to reunite. We must take good care of our health and live longer so that we can give Xiaoyun the love and care she didn't give her. She'll want to see happy parents when she returns home, right?"

"Yes, let's... clean it up. I wonder what kind of bedroom Xiaoyun would like..." Luo's mother was a little nervous, a feeling she hadn't had in years. She ordered the servants to clean Luo Jiaqi's room and turn it into a study. Then she chose another large room in a good location for Zhu Xiaoyun's bedroom.

They went to bed very late that day. The servants in the villa were busy replacing everything in Zhu Xiaoyun's bedroom with new ones, even filling her closet with the latest season's clothes. After that, they slept and woke up all night, waiting for the dawn to pick up Zhu Xiaoyun.

Zhu Xiaoyun, like the others, barely slept all night. Later, Tao Rui simply got her up to play video games, not for fun but simply to pass the time and distract herself.

He had already given the appraisal report to Zhu Xiaoyun and told her the decision of Luo's parents. Zhu Xiaoyun has been absent-minded since then.

While playing video games, Zhu Xiaoyun asked hesitantly, "Are they really willing to let Luo Jiaqi go? Do I really want to acknowledge them? What if, in the future, they and Luo Jiaqi's family of three... I become redundant."

Tao Rui moved to her side, close to her, silently giving her a sense of security.

"If they really disappoint you in the future, then just give up on them. After all, you still have me, Mom, Tao Fei, and Tao Fang."

Zhu Xiaoyun looked at him with a smile and said, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel like I have so much more."

"That's right. We are all your family. And you're so great. Even if you don't have a family, you'll still be fine. You're going to be a top agent in the future."

Zhu Xiaoyun was amused by him and felt relieved. She said, "Luo Jiaqi is so annoying, so if they still want to be nice to her, I will stay away from them."

"Don't think about the bad things. Maybe they will treat you well."

"If that's the case, I will definitely cherish it very much." Zhu Xiaoyun said softly, leaning her head on Tao Rui's shoulder.

Later she fell asleep in Tao Rui's arms.

The next day, Tao Rui was woken up by the system and found that Luo's father and mother had already arrived at the gate of the community. However, it was still early, so they did not disturb him and just waited outside quietly. It was enough to show how complicated and excited they were.

Tao Rui got up and, considering that no one had gotten enough rest, made some chicken soup porridge and then went out to buy buns.

Father Luo was stunned for a moment when he saw Tao Rui leaving the house. He quickly got out of the car and called out to him, "Tao Rui, are you going out?"

Luo's mother also got out of the car. Tao Rui walked up to them and greeted them, saying with a smile, "I'm going out to buy some buns. Xiaoyun likes xiaolongbao."

"Oh, then... let's go too, let's buy it." Luo's father and mother looked at each other and then looked at Tao Rui.

Tao Rui nodded and took them to the store to buy buns. There were several people waiting in front of the store, and Luo's father and mother looked out of place standing there, but they didn't feel uncomfortable at all. They kept observing their surroundings, trying to understand their daughter's living environment, and whispered to Tao Rui about what Zhu Xiaoyun liked and disliked.

Tao Rui picked out some daily things to tell them and quickly took them home.

Tao Rui's home was actually revealed in a variety show, and both Luo's father and mother had seen it, but at that time they saw it from the perspective of a passerby, just wanting to know about the person who had a relationship with their daughter. Now Zhu Xiaoyun has become their daughter and Tao Rui is their son-in-law, the feeling is completely different.

Tao Rui asked them to sit on the sofa. The video game controller from the night before was still on the coffee table. Next to it were cute furry pillows and succulent potted plants, which seemed very lively. After Mr. and Mrs. Luo sat down, they truly felt that they had entered their daughter's world and saw how she lived her daily life.

They feel that their eyes are not enough, and they look here and there, wanting to know everything.

Tao Rui entered the bedroom and gently woke Zhu Xiaoyun up, saying, "They're here. They've been waiting outside since early this morning. I brought them in. They also bought you some buns. Let's have breakfast together."

Zhu Xiaoyun sat up instantly, her whole body awake. "They're here? So early?"

She touched her face and said, "How can I face people like this? I'll go clean up!"

Fortunately, there is a bathroom in the master bedroom, so I don’t have to go out until I’m done.

Zhu Xiaoyun rushed into the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, quickly fixed her hair and put on makeup, then put on her favorite dress before walking out nervously.

Luo's parents stood up as soon as they saw her. Luo's mother excitedly stepped forward and held her hand, "Xiao Yun! I'm sorry, we lost you and made you suffer so much..."

Zhu Xiaoyun was a little at a loss, "Uh, it's okay, it's not your fault..."

Tao Rui said, "Let's talk while we eat. The buns will get cold soon. I'll take some to my mom and the others. You guys can chat slowly."

Tao Rui looked at Zhu Xiaoyun, and Zhu Xiaoyun nodded. He then took the meal to the opposite door, leaving them enough space to get along.

Zhu Xiaoyun served the chicken porridge and set it aside. For the first time, the whole family sat down at the same table to eat. Luo's parents couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiaoyun's face, as if they couldn't see enough. Zhu Xiaoyun couldn't help but look at them either.

Luo's mother drank a mouthful of chicken porridge and praised: "This chicken porridge is really delicious. Did you make it?"

Zhu Xiaoyun shook her head. "Brother Rui cooked it. Now he cooks all the meals at home whenever he has time. He said I cooked too much before, and it's his turn."

Luo's mother nodded repeatedly. "He's right. You did too much in the past. You should enjoy your life in the future. Mom can cook too. I heard Tao Rui say you like braised pork. Can I make it for you? I'll make it tonight. I've decorated your room. We can change it to whatever you like. Don't worry, it won't be Luo Jiaqi's room. She's gone. I'll turn that room into a study so there won't be any traces of the past."

Zhu Xiaoyun paused while eating. Luo's father asked uncertainly, "Xiaoyun, are you willing to recognize us? Don't worry. We know who is right and who is wrong, and we know what to do. Luo Jiaqi is gone, and she has nothing to do with us anymore. You are our only daughter."

"Yes, we will treat you very well. Are you willing to recognize us?"

Luo's father and mother were waiting for the answer, feeling nervous. They were not so worried even when discussing a cooperation worth hundreds of millions.

Zhu Xiaoyun didn't hesitate. She had already thought it through the night before. She smiled and said, "I do. I've hoped to find my biological parents since I was a child. That way, I'd have two sets of parents. Actually, knowing that I wasn't abandoned by my parents makes me very happy. Now that I'm an adult, I don't need a guardian, so I think we can slowly get to know each other. If we get along, we can spend more time together. If... if we're not used to being together, I'll come to visit you during the holidays."

This is already the best result. How can it be so easy to make up for the missed twenty years?

Both Mr. and Mrs. Luo nodded and smiled.

They asked Zhu Xiaoyun about things in the village, and what kind of people the kind couple who raised her were. They also said they wanted to take time to visit the place where she grew up and repair the grave of the Zhu couple.

Zhu Xiaoyun easily felt their kindness and felt much more relaxed. She took the initiative to ask them what they liked to eat and what else they did besides work.

The two sides live in vastly different environments, so logically they shouldn't have much in common. But as long as both sides are willing, they can still chat together. As long as one person is willing to talk and the other is willing to listen attentively, getting along is not difficult.

Zhu Xiaoyun is uneducated, has little experience, does not understand the many etiquette and rules of the upper class, and does not know what high-end designer clothes are. These are all caused by the environment after she was kidnapped. Luo's father and mother not only do not despise her at all, but the more they get to know her, the more they feel sorry for her.

From the moment they became pregnant, they loved this child. Although they later gave their love to the wrong person, this did not hinder their love for Zhu Xiaoyun. Now that their family is reunited, as parents, they only want to love this child even more and give her the best.

They also decided to turn down many unnecessary work and social engagements to spend more time with their daughter. Luo's mother also decided to follow her previous arrangements, handing over most of the work to a few managers and only visiting the company when Zhu Xiaoyun was busy.

Their reunion went smoothly, and Zhu Xiaoyun returned to the Luo family home that same day. Of course, she was just visiting, and she asked Tao Rui to come along. She was already grown up; she'd been with Tao Rui before, and she would continue to be with him. If she suddenly moved back to the Luo family home, in a completely unfamiliar environment, she would be truly uncomfortable.

Of course, Luo's parents had no objections, and they took Zhu Xiaoyun to see her room. It was a room ten thousand times better than the princess room she had dreamed of, and it really satisfied all her girlish hearts.

Although her dream of a princess room turned into wanting a home of her own after her adoptive parents passed away, she is still very happy now that she sees the room her parents prepared for her, and feels that all the regrets of her childhood have been wiped out.

In the afternoon, Luo's mother cooked red braised pork herself. Since she hadn't cooked in years, she was so unfamiliar with cooking that she ruined two pots. Fortunately, she eventually found her way back and finally made a satisfactory pot of red braised pork.

Luo's father also showed her his collection of antiques and ancient paintings, told her how he and Luo's mother met, and how happy he felt when he found out she was pregnant. He also showed her photos of her pregnancy.

Although many photos at home include Luo Jiaqi, the baby in the pregnant woman's belly is definitely Zhu Xiaoyun. That is a real photo of their family of three.

Zhu Xiaoyun could feel their sincerity, and this sincerity alone was enough for her to let down all her defenses and open her heart to accept them.

After dinner that day, Tao Rui took a new family photo for them. Luo's mother immediately had the photo copied and framed and hung on the wall. Every detail showed that they truly accepted Zhu Xiaoyun. Not a single trace of Luo Jiaqi remained in the entire villa, and nothing that could offend Zhu Xiaoyun was allowed to see.

That night, Zhu Xiaoyun left with her parents, who were deeply reluctant to let her go. She said to Tao Rui with a sense of relief, "Reality is much better than I imagined. It turns out I didn't need to worry so much."

Tao Rui sent her the family photo on his phone and said with a smile, "Now you have two more people who love you, and you also have a home here. Are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy!" Zhu Xiaoyun set the family photo on the desktop and hugged Tao Rui tightly. "Thank you, I know you have always been by my side to protect me. Thank you for maturing before all this happened and becoming a man I can rely on, giving me an unparalleled sense of security. If it weren't for you, I might not be so confident and strong."

Zhu Xiaoyun hadn't cried since she learned about this, until now, as she was talking. It was like all her armor had been removed, and she was delighted to discover that everyone around her loved her. Her parents, whom she had longed for and thought about countless times, finally came to her, and they were still so wonderful.

Tao Rui wiped her tears, ruffled her hair and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying for joy? If your eyes are swollen tomorrow, your new parents will think I'm bullying you. Now that you have parents, you should worry about whether they will be dissatisfied with me."

Zhu Xiaoyun burst into laughter and said, "Nonsense, my parents wouldn't be unhappy. I think they are very satisfied with you. Especially my mother. Haven't you heard the saying, 'The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.'"

Tao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Hey, are you proposing to me?"

Zhu Xiaoyun blushed immediately, "What marriage proposal? You're the one proposing! You're such a bad guy!"

Tao Rui laughed and said, "I beg you, I beg you. I'll find an auspicious day and propose to my beloved fiancée."

Zhu Xiaoyun went home with him laughing and joking, her heart bursting with joy as if fireworks were blooming.
