"It's you?"
"It's me!"
Lin Yi walked straight to Granny Zhou's side. She looked at the old woman and tried to glean some insight into her daughter's experiences over the years.
How can her daughter have a good life with someone like that?
Lin Yiyi felt extremely distressed by her daughter's experiences over the years. She really should have come sooner so that her daughter could have suffered less.
Granny Zhou snorted coldly at her appearance and gestured to Chef Qiao with her chin.
Are you some kind of lunatic you dragged from a mental hospital? You've caused quite a stir since you arrived!
With such overflowing emotions, it turns out that even losing her daughter doesn't matter!
Thinking of what she had learned from Chef Qiao, Granny Zhou felt a surge of hatred towards Lin Yisheng, almost as if she were taking it out on him.
Lin Yiyi has a new life, a new family, and a new daughter, so Hongyu deserved what she went through all these years.
He deserved to be lost by his birth mother.
She deserved to be abandoned by her birth mother.
How could someone like that be a mother?!
Chef Qiao is caught in the middle of two women, suffering greatly: his ex-wife with whom he has an inextricable karmic ties, and his daughter's adoptive mother whom she cherishes dearly.
Chef Qiao walked over and squeezed into the middle: "Everyone, calm down and think clearly about who brought you all together now. For Hongyu's sake, you can't argue in public no matter what. Let's talk about it behind closed doors!"
If Zhou Hongyu's background becomes public knowledge, it could bring endless trouble.
Lin Yiyi gently raised her chin and said coldly, "I have no objection. It's mainly about the older sister across the way!"
Granny Zhou retorted angrily, "What are you saying? You're doubting my love for Hongyu! What right do you have to doubt me! You're not worthy!"
Chef Qiao thought to himself, "Oh no! Something's about to go wrong!"
Sure enough, Lin Yi couldn't hold back her tears. In this respect, she had indeed failed her daughter.
She was in the wrong.
Lin Yiyi gave Granny Zhou a stubborn look: "Don't worry, I will prove to you that I am qualified!"
He turned and walked towards the stairs.
Granny Zhou was dumbfounded. Pointing towards the stairs, she asked Chef Qiao, "She came with you not just to see the child, but she just left like that?"
My daughter, whom I had lost for many years, was right in front of me.
As long as Lin Yiyi crosses that threshold, she will be able to see her daughter whom she has been longing for day and night. She is leaving!
Chef Qiao sighed helplessly, "She's been like this for decades."
He then stared at Granny Zhou.
"Sister Zhou, if you really care about Hongyu, you must not let her get close to Hongyu easily. She will only bring trouble to Hongyu. You'll see how that goes!"
...
Zhou Hongyu lay on the bed with her feet elevated, unable to stop thinking about "her".
Did she know she was hospitalized and would come looking for him/her?
What should I do then?
Ugh, so annoying!
Zhou Hongyu rolled around on the bed in frustration, forgetting about her injured foot, which worsened in a moment of carelessness.
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!"
Two people who happened to be walking to the door of the ward rushed in instantly.
Granny Zhou immediately inquired about Zhou Hongyu's condition with great anxiety.
Chef Qiao immediately began to examine her injuries.
Seeing this, Zhou Hongyu secretly wiped away her tears. She was doing well now, and even if that person came looking for her, she would remain steadfast in her beliefs.
Her home will always be in Zhoujia Village; that is an indisputable fact!
Zhou Hongyu's tears startled the other two people present.
Has the injury worsened?
Without saying a word, Granny Zhou prepared to run to find a doctor.
Chef Qiao rolled up his sleeves and personally took charge.
It's not that serious!
Zhou Hongyu wiped away her tears and anxiously stopped the two of them: "There's no need to make such a fuss. It just hurt a lot at first, but it will feel much better after it subsides!"
Granny Zhou was heartbroken: "It's all that wretched couple's fault! Riding that beat-up bike recklessly on the road, they hit someone and then acted like they were in the right! My daughter—"
Chef Qiao nodded: "Based on my many years of medical experience, Xiao Zhou, you must rest and recuperate for three months!"
Granny Zhou nodded in agreement, saying that a broken bone is a serious matter and one must rest well to avoid any side effects later.
Three months?!
Zhou Hongyu clicked her tongue slightly. She could take sick leave for work for the time being, and the cultural center would arrange for someone to take over her work as needed. However, she was indispensable for business and family matters.
At least for so long.
Zhou Hongyu shook her head like a rattle-drum, refusing: "Mom, Uncle Qiao, if I lie here for three months, the sky will fall!"
I counted them off on my fingers.
"The business in the shop... well... no one can make decisions without me!"
To this day, she has not dared to tell Granny Zhou the truth: her daughter is already the owner of several clothing stores, employing a large number of people to work, a veritable capitalist.
"I can't be absent from the house either. Mei-ying is the most mischievous girl. If I'm not home for a while, she's going to cause a lot of trouble!"
Chang Xingwang might be so angry that he sets a precedent and beats Chang Meiying up a few times.
"Alright, you're a grown man, figure it out yourself, I can't be bothered with you!"
Granny Zhou was annoyed. Chef Qiao was unreliable. He had made such a solemn promise, but now that the child's biological mother had come knocking on her door, she still hadn't figured out how to handle it.
Tell me.
Then we'll have to face a series of follow-up problems.
How to mediate the relationship between the adoptive mother and the biological mother, how the biological mother's family views Hongyu's relationship with the Zhou family... there are too many questions, too many to answer, and Granny Zhou is overwhelmed.
I won't tell you.
There is an old saying that a mother and child are of one heart.
Lin Yiyi has just arrived at her doorstep. Perhaps she will run into him someday. How should she explain that?
The nurse came over to ask the family to get the medicine. Granny Zhou got up and left first. After she left, Chef Qiao started fiddling with a medical kit he had brought.
Zhou Hongyu was lying in her hospital bed staring at the ceiling when she suddenly sat up in surprise.
Chef Qiao: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'm going to see a doctor!"
Zhou Hongyu shook her head slightly and changed her position on the bed: "I don't feel good lying in one position for too long!"
Then he stopped talking.
But his eyes kept darting around.
Where is "she"?
Just now, I clearly felt "her" presence so strongly that I couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in my heart.
How could she suddenly be gone!
Zhou Hongyu's deep expectations were followed by profound disappointment.
*
Lin Yi ran out of the hospital, sat in the car, and cried uncontrollably.
The driver remained silent, constantly on edge to avoid making a mistake.
Lin Yiyi took out the photo of her daughter that she always carried with her and touched it over and over again.
She is the child's biological mother, how can she not have the right to be a mother!
She will definitely prove to that woman that they are blood relatives, a fact that can never be changed!
She will not tell the Lin family that she has found her daughter.
Adopted daughters are excluded.
Although she adopted her daughter after her biological daughter went missing, Lin Yiyi has treated her as her second daughter ever since she decided to adopt her. She will not abandon her adopted daughter, who has been with her for more than 20 years, just because she found her biological daughter.
It is important to do a good job of psychological support for the adopted daughter.
Back home, Lin Yi told his adopted daughter about finding his biological daughter.
