After a car accident, Yan Qiao was selected by the Space-Time Bureau. If she completed ten lifetimes of missions, she could be reborn. She worked overtime, following a 997 work schedule to finish h...
On the day Yan Shu was discharged from the hospital, she took the initiative to call Yan Qiao.
It wasn't until today that I suddenly realized Yan Qiao hadn't come for a while.
Despite knowing that she was Chen Lan's daughter, Yan Shu felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to her ever since she saved her.
"Do you want to come pick me up from the hospital? I'm thinking of going to the mall to buy some things; I've been cooped up for so long."
Yan Qiao hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
Perhaps because she now knows the truth, she always feels a sense of trepidation, like she's returning home.
"Okay, then come and pick me up from the hospital."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Shu was beaming.
"I'm going shopping with Yan Qiao, you can go home first. By the way, where did Yao Yao go? I haven't seen her for days, is school that busy?"
Song Yinsheng smiled and said, "They're probably busy with classes. I happen to be free today, so I'll accompany you shopping and help you carry your things."
When Yan Qiao arrived, Song Yinsheng drove them to the mall.
After spending so many days in the hospital, Yan Shu started a revenge shopping spree, buying one item after another with Yan Qiao.
Finally, we went into a custom jewelry store. The jewelry here was quite expensive, and Yan Qiao's wallet definitely couldn't afford it.
But Yan Shu insisted on pulling her inside, saying repeatedly, "Auntie will take you."
This puzzled Yan Qiao greatly. Could Yan Shu afford all these things?
Yan Shu was pulling Yan Qiao along as they looked at different styles when they suddenly heard a voice behind them.
"Mom, this necklace is so beautiful. I've never worn such expensive jewelry at my adoptive parents' house."
"Really? I'm so sorry to have put you through that."
"That's right. Most of my clothes cost a few hundred yuan. I've never bought any designer brands, and I rarely buy anything over a thousand yuan, let alone jewelry."
Yan Shu suddenly tightened her grip on Yan Qiao's hand, her face turning pale.
She didn't turn around, but continued to listen to Yan Yaoyao's complaints behind her.
Yan Shu's fingernails dug deep into Yan Qiao's flesh, but she didn't notice.
It turns out that, in Yan Yaoyao's heart, she was not a qualified pair of parents.
Especially when she heard her mention how stingy Shi Yuehua was and how she didn't treat her like a granddaughter at all, Yan Shu couldn't bear it any longer, strode forward, and slapped her in the face in front of everyone.
"Yan Yaoyao, who are you calling 'Mom'? Where is your mom?! If I hadn't run into you here today, I wouldn't have known that your dad and I have mistreated you so much! It's one thing for you to criticize me, but what gives you the right to spout such nonsense at your maternal grandmother!"
Yan Yaoyao was flustered. She had been busy coaxing Chen Lan and hadn't noticed Yan Shu and Song Yinsheng there. She was slapped hard.
It was at this moment that Yan Shu realized that the person Yan Yaoyao kept calling "Mom" was actually Chen Lan!
Her expression changed drastically. Who was Chen Lan? She was Yan Yaohui's wife!
Yan Shu felt her blood rush to her head and her head spin. If Song Yinsheng hadn't been supporting her, she would have fainted long ago.
"Don't get too agitated, let's talk this out."
Chen Lan scoffed, "What's there to say? Do you want to keep both daughters by your side? Dream on."
Yan Shu was puzzled. "What do you mean, two daughters!"
Besides Yan Yaoyao, where else does she have any other daughters?
Chen Lan looked at Yan Qiao, "Why didn't you tell her?"
Song Yinsheng and Yan Shu both looked at Yan Qiao, wondering what kind of riddle they were talking about.
"Yan Qiao, do you know something?" Song Yinsheng asked.
Yan Qiao bit her lip, looking troubled, and said, "This isn't a good place to talk. Let's find somewhere to sit down and talk slowly."
Chen Lan had no objection. "Okay, let's get things cleared up once and for all to avoid future complications."
The two found a restaurant in the mall and sat down in a private room.
If it weren't for business, Chen Lan would never have imagined that she would one day be sitting next to Yan Shu.
Yan Yaoyao looked guilty and didn't dare to meet Yan Shu's gaze.
She originally thought it would be best to stabilize both sides first, with her adoptive parents on one side and her biological parents on the other. Why couldn't she have both at the same time?
She liked life in the Yan family, but her feelings for Yan Shu and Song Yinsheng were even deeper; she was so greedy that she didn't want to give up either of them.
After listening to what Yan Qiao said, Yan Shu remained silent for a long time.
Therefore, Yan Qiao is her daughter.
Her biological daughter was switched at birth.
Yan Shu's head was throbbing with pain. "Yan Qiao, when did you find out?"
Yan Qiao: "I was very surprised when I found out about this a few days ago. Fortunately, Yan Yaoyao and I have grown up and are capable of independent thinking and making choices."
Yan Shu felt a chill in her heart, realizing that Yan Yaoyao had already made her choice.
If she hadn't met her by chance today, she wouldn't have known that Yan Yaoyao harbored such deep resentment.
"So you've made your choice to go back to your biological mother's house, is that right?" Yan Shu asked, looking at Yan Yaoyao.
Her unwavering gaze infuriated Yan Yaoyao.
Yan Yaoyao said, "Anyway, you don't like me. If you kick me out, you can take Yan Qiao back."
"Kick you out? Yan Yaoyao, when have your father and I ever kicked you out, or when have we ever disliked you! In your eyes, is disciplining your child as a parent a sign of dislike? If you are a snob, then please admit it openly, don't use us as a cover-up."
Yan Shu was angry, but even more so, she felt cold inside.
Even if she didn't give birth to him, she raised him single-handedly.
When she cried in her swaddling clothes, when she was sick, Yan Shu spent countless days and nights taking care of her without leaving her side.
Chen Lan could easily abandon Yan Qiao, but Yan Shu could not easily give up Yan Yao Yao.
Yan Yaoyao looked impatient and didn't think she had done anything wrong.
"I want to live a good life, but you can't give it to me! Yan Qiao and I were switched at birth, and Yan Qiao is taking advantage of that. She's been living a life of luxury since she was little, and everything she uses is the most expensive. But what about me?"
Yan Yaoyao took off the bracelet and threw it on the table. "Do you know how much this bracelet costs? 150,000! How many months' salary would my dad have to save up to save up 150,000!"
Song Yinsheng was furious. "Do you think feelings can be measured by money? We may not have provided you with a better living environment, but your living conditions are already much better than most children! Yan Yaoyao, I'm not blaming you for acknowledging your biological parents, but what have your mother and I done to wrong you that you would put us down in front of your own mother?"
From the moment he learned that Yan Yaoyao was not his biological daughter, Song Yinsheng was prepared to face Yan Yaoyao's biological parents and to accept his own biological daughter.
What he couldn't stand the most was Yan Yaoyao's obsequious and snobbish manner in front of Chen Lan.
Yan Yaoyao sneered, "If I hadn't switched places with Yan Qiao, you wouldn't even be qualified to raise me! Why don't you go to the Yan family and see for yourselves? I should have grown up in a luxurious villa, I should have been wearing designer clothes and being chauffeured around in luxury cars. All of that was taken away by Yan Qiao! You're the ones who wronged me, so why are you morally blackmailing me here? You're not at a loss either, look, don't you have a daughter? Let her go back with you."
Yan Shu and Song Yinsheng then turned their attention to the unusually silent Yan Qiao, looking at her helplessly.
