Chapter 446 The Jiang Family's Children
Jiang Zhizhi was surprised, but then she realized: "No wonder Shen Qingping and Liu Li hurt Shen Luojia so much, it turns out she's not their biological daughter."
He sighed, "If that's the case, Luo Jia will be even more pitiful. Her grandmother is gone, and she doesn't have a single relative in the world."
Zhou Xiye continued, "Shen Luojia grew up with her grandmother since she was little. However, she was too old and too young, and because Shen Luojia was not very intelligent, she was always bullied."
"Although Shen Qingping's mother was not very educated, she was very righteous. During the war, she saved many wounded soldiers and donated everything the family could. Shen Qingping benefited from this and has always done well."
"Because he and Liu Li did not agree to raise Shen Luojia, whom they had taken in, they sent the old lady to the countryside and ignored her all these years. It was only because they wanted to establish a connection with the Chu family that they remembered that the old lady in the countryside was raising a child."
"That's just right. The old lady is in poor health and knows that her time is running out. She brought Shen Luojia to Beijing, hoping that Shen Qingping would have a change of heart and treat Shen Luojia well after her death."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed, "The old man has no choice. He really doesn't know who to entrust Shen Luojia to. He raised her himself, so he can't bear to see her suffer. That's why he's pinning his hopes on Shen Qingping."
The old lady probably thinks that now that Shen Qingping is living a good life, he won't mistreat Shen Luojia for the sake of his reputation.
As it turned out, she never imagined that human nature could have such a despicable and dark side.
After sighing, Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "Why did you think of investigating Chen Luojia's background?"
Zhou Xiye reminded her again: "Didn't you say she was poisoned like Mom? I was thinking of investigating her background first, and then..."
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly stopped her bicycle and looked at Zhou Xiye in shock: "How could I forget, Luo Jia has the same blood type as my dad... She's the same age as me and was poisoned by the same poison as my mom. Could she be the one who lost her daughter?"
Zhou Xiye also felt that this coincidence was too coincidental, so he went to investigate Shen Luojia's background.
Jiang Zhizhi said excitedly, "If she really is my parents' daughter, that would be wonderful. They are actually very good parents and love their children very much."
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's excitement, Zhou Xiye couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go home first and talk about it when we get home."
After returning home, Jiang Zhizhi told Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu about it.
Fang Hua found it unbelievable: "If Luo Jia is Jiang Zhenhua's child, then... that's too much of a coincidence."
Zhou Chengyu also couldn't believe it: "Shen Luojia and Jiang Zhenhua don't look like a couple at all, but they are the same age."
After her initial surprise, Fang Hua analyzed the situation and found it reasonable: "Think about it, even if the child was lost around Beijing, he couldn't have gone too far. He would definitely still be in this area."
The hospital where Song Wanying and Bian Suxi gave birth was located in the suburbs of Beijing.
Zhou Chengyu sighed: "If it really is a child of the Jiang family, that would be good. Jiang Zhenhua has worked hard these past few years, and Luo Jia has had a tough time too. If they come together, the family will be complete."
Fang Hua thought so too, and turned to ask Jiang Zhizhi, "When do you plan to tell them? They'll be very happy to know."
Jiang Zhizhi had this plan: "I'll tell my dad first, and if it doesn't work, I'll get a forensic paternity test done."
They didn't discover the connection immediately, mainly because Shen Luojia doesn't look like Jiang Zhenhua or Song Wanying.
Fang Hua thought for a while and then asked Zhou Chengyu, "I remember Jiang Zhenhua has a younger sister who is quite pretty and also has a widow's peak?"
Zhou Chengyu shook his head: "I don't remember, but my niece looks like her aunt, so I guess Luojia looks like her aunt?"
Fang Hua couldn't help but marvel at fate; how these families had ended up together by such a twist of fate.
Shang Shiying and Bian Suxi came over to give the two children cookies they had baked at home, and they also saved some for Shen Luojia.
Fang Hua couldn't keep the secret any longer and told Shang Shiying that Shen Luojia might be Jiang Zhenhua's daughter.
Shang Shiying exclaimed in shock, "Zhenhua and Wanying's daughter? My goodness, if that's the case, then they are truly destined to be together with our family."
After saying that, he sighed again: "This child is so pitiful, it won't be easy for him to grow up."
After everyone sighed about Shen Luojia's identity, Jiang Zhizhi suddenly remembered, "Auntie, haven't Simin and Luojia returned yet?"
Shang Shiying shook her head: "No, he said he went to the hospital and then went out for a walk. He probably lost track of time while playing, which is good. Otherwise, Si Min would just stay in his room reading, and I'm afraid he'll become a bookworm."
She was in a great mood. If Luo Jia really was Jiang Zhenhua's daughter, then she would have absolutely no objection to Shen Luo Jia being with Li Simin.
...
At the Shen family home, Liu Li looked in the mirror at the redness and swelling on her face, and became angrier and angrier. To make matters worse, that fool didn't even come back that night after he went out.
Shen Yuzhi's face was also covered in injuries, and she didn't dare to go out for the past two days, afraid that people would see her and laugh at her.
Seeing her mother looking in the mirror, she couldn't help but cry again: "Mom, why do you still let Shen Luojia live in the house? Since she has no use anymore, just kick her out. Anyway, my grandma is dead, let her go wherever she wants."
"She's so arrogant. If she's sent back to the countryside, she'll be all alone. Let's see how she survives!"
Liu Li threw down the mirror and glared at Shen Yuzhi: "You think I don't want to? But we just finished the family reunion banquet, and if we kick her out, how can our family face anyone? Besides, she's still somewhat useful. If Jiang Zhizhi can treat Chu Jiahe's illness, then you won't have to marry a fool, right?"
At this point, Shen Yuzhi almost cried: "Mom, I'd rather die than marry a fool."
Liu Li frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't we trying to find a solution? Besides, even if we get married, it's at the end of the year, which is still several months away. We'll always find a way."
Despite her young age, Shen Yuzhi was wicked. Her eyes lit up and she came up with a terrible idea: "Mom, why don't we invite the Chu family over for dinner? Then we can lock Chu Jiahe and Shen Luojia in a room, drug them, and force them into marriage. Let's see how the Chu family will back out then."
"When the time comes, just say that Chu Jiahe raped Shen Luojia in our house, and force the Chu family to give us an explanation!"
Liu Li slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Okay, that's a good idea, but that little bitch didn't come back last night, and I don't know if she'll come back tonight."
Shen Yuzhi smiled and took Liu Li's arm: "Mom, if she doesn't come back today, I'll have Dad go pick her up tomorrow. When she comes back, we'll coax her a bit. She's such a fool, isn't she strong? We'll drug her food and see how she resists then."
Thinking it over, her eyes darkened, radiating an impatient light. She refused to believe that she couldn't bring down that idiot Shen Luojia this time!
