Isn't she a supporting female character in the book? How did she become the daughter of the female lead's father?
"The novel never mentioned that the original owner wasn't her biological child?" Lin Qiyue was truly still in shock.
Hedelle was stunned when she saw her daughter learn the truth.
She held her daughter's hand, bowed her head, and wept, tears falling one after another. She said guiltily:
“Back then, when you were born, there were two earthquakes. Many nurses and doctors were scattered. When I woke up, you and Dongcheng were gone. I searched for a long, long time. It took me three days to find your brother, but to find you… I searched for twenty-one years! I know it’s hard for you to accept this fact right now, but you really are my daughter.”
He took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qiyue.
"Look, this is your aunt, and this is your mother. You look a lot like your mother and aunt. Look at your brother?"
Hai Dongcheng's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Duan Hongguo's, but his face shape is still very similar to Lin Qiyue's.
Lin Qiyue looked at the photo and it did look very similar.
She was a little confused and subconsciously looked at Lan Yuchu beside her, unsure of what to do.
"But my parents have never said that I'm not their biological child?" Lin Qiyue was still a little unsure. "Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"
"No, the facts prove that you are our daughter. The Lin family participated in that rescue operation. They must have thought your parents had perished in the earthquake, so they took you home and adopted you."
Haider began to get nervous; how could she not recognize her own daughter?
Grandma Li, who was standing to the side, listened to their conversation and looked at Lin Qiyue, who looked very much like the woman in front of her.
The Lin couple had been married for seven or eight years without getting pregnant. Unable to bear the scolding and gossip from their family, they took their wife to live in the city, saying they wanted to find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take care of their health. Not long after the earthquake, they returned with a daughter who was less than a month old.
“We checked, and the Lin family went through adoption procedures. Last year, we came to the village to find the village chief and asked about your situation. They said you were adopted by a family in Pingcheng! I took the opportunity of going to university this year to go to Pingcheng to find you, but I couldn’t find you because I remembered the surname wrong.”
Over the years, Hai Dongcheng has also been helping his mother search for his sister's whereabouts.
He pulled out all the certificates from his pocket. These certificates had all been handwritten by the archives over the years. He originally intended to use these certificates to go to Pingcheng to find his sister.
After going around in circles, we finally found it here.
Even when he went to work, he carried proof with him at all times, just in case it was stolen.
Just as he suspected, all the money he had left at the hotel was stolen, except for the identification he had on him.
Looking at the creased and worn paper from over the years, Lin Qiyue read the contents.
Lin's father and mother were both infertile. After the earthquake, they adopted a girl who had no one to claim her. The girl was less than a month old.
The document also includes proof that both Mr. and Mrs. Lin are infertile.
This was the first time she had ever seen a couple where neither of them could have children.
This time, she had no choice but to believe it.
"Child, it's your mother who's sorry," Haider said, holding Lin Qiyue's hand.
Seeing that her daughter didn't seem very happy, I could tell that she was a little resistant or hadn't fully accepted it yet.
She could understand this very well. After all, it's hard for anyone to accept that someone is not their parents' biological child.
"I never knew my own daughter lived in the same compound as me!" Duan Hongguo exclaimed. He had no idea. "A few days ago, I saw Yu Chu driving you out, and the back view really looked like your mother, but I thought it was just my imagination!"
He was truly ashamed!
This is also a matter of fate.
In Lin Qiyue's memory, the original owner had never met this Duan Hongguo, and the two of them had different work schedules.
With his status and position, he must be extremely busy.
The book does mention that Duan Hongguo and Duan Rumeng are not biologically related, but rather that Duan Rumeng was raised by a comrade-in-arms.
Duan Hongguo's wife disappeared during an assassination attempt by an enemy and has not been found for many years.
She only mentioned it briefly and never investigated it further.
Lan Yuchu really didn't expect that Lin Qiyue was actually Uncle Duan's daughter.
Looking at Lin Qiyue's face, Lan Yuchu held her hand with concern and said to everyone, "Qiyue may still be a little unaccustomed to it. Uncle Duan, please don't take offense and let her digest it properly."
Haider wiped away her tears and said to Lin Qiyue, "Qiyue, Mom won't pressure you. As long as I know you're doing well and living somewhere, I'll be at ease. I won't disturb your life."
She didn't want to be a burden on her daughter's life, but after years of longing, she desperately wanted to see her missing daughter.
Gu Qiuning sat next to Lin Qiyue, watching Aunt Hai's pain. She sighed, "Aunt Hai has never missed a chance to find you all these years! There was even a couple who brought their daughter and pretended to be Aunt Hai's daughter, wanting money from her. But when my dad checked, he found out that they had three daughters. They heard that Aunt Hai had given birth around the same time as them, so they dared to impersonate her."
Hai Dongcheng nodded and said, "Over the years, many people have impersonated you, but none of them were the real ones. My mother was disappointed and felt guilty because of this, and she fell ill and suffered a lot. She missed you day and night."
As Haider listened to the two children recount their experiences, her lips trembled slightly as she struggled to hold back her tears.
Then, forcing a smile, she looked at Lin Qiyue and said, "These are all true. I'm relieved to see that you're doing well."
