“It’s a story that Peipei and our family are destined to meet. My little girl, who was less than two months old, died unexpectedly from an illness, and we found Peipei that very day. It must have been that the child couldn’t bear to see us so sad, so she sent Peipei to take care of her. So, we didn’t make a fuss and let Peipei take the place of the child. Everything was taken care of, and it saved us a lot of trouble…” Liu Cuihua spoke with deep emotion and vivid description, tears welling up in her eyes several times.
The story was fabricated by Su Peipei and has almost no flaws.
Although they had already read Su Peipei's account of how she was taken in from the documents, hearing it from Liu Cuihua's mouth still surprised them.
Su Peipei's experience was almost identical to Su Xiaoxiao's, except that Su Peipei had a jade pendant while Su Xiaoxiao did not.
However, although Su Peipei put a lot of effort into finding the same jade material to make this jade pendant, it was still fake. It wasn't made from the same piece of jade, and Old Master Qin could tell as soon as he held it.
When he acquired the jade, he made two jade pendants, one for each of his two daughters, a pair of bracelets for his wife, and kept a seal for himself. These were objects he handled and played with every day, so you can tell their value just by holding them.
The fake jade pendant with a real design is quite intriguing.
"This jade pendant does look quite similar. Oh dear, it's been over ten years, so I don't remember it very clearly. Tingjiang, take a look." Old Master Qin stroked the jade pendant, his face showing some excitement, and handed it to Gu Tingjiang.
Gu Tingjiang took it. He had been waiting impatiently. When he saw the pattern, his face lit up with joy. But as he touched the jade, he silently went to the door and deliberately looked at it from left to right in the sunlight.
Inside the house, the conversation continued. Old Master Qin said with a hint of doubt, "But the location you mentioned is wrong. We lost our child at the train station, but you found him at the hospital. That's quite a difference."
These words stunned Liu Cuihua. "Impossible, it was found in the hospital."
She looked at Su Peipei with some helplessness, saying affirmative words, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
Oh no, the location is wrong, what should I do? What if they don't recognize my relative...?
With his back to the group, Gu Tingjiang quietly took out Qin Huifang's jade pendant. Upon comparing it, his expression suddenly darkened.
The jade patterns on the two pieces are still quite obvious under sunlight, indicating that they are not from the same piece of jade.
Gu Tingjiang remained calm and returned to the living room.
"Mom, don't panic." After a moment of stunned silence, Su Peipei quickly regained her composure and tried to calm Liu Cuihua down. She was afraid that Liu Cuihua might accidentally let something slip, so she gave her a meaningful look.
Fortunately, Liu Cuihua caught her hint and stopped talking.
They had agreed before they came that if any unexpected situation arose, Liu Cuihua should keep quiet, and Su Peipei would handle everything.
Seeing that Liu Cuihua had quieted down, Su Peipei then said to Grandpa Qin, "My mother wouldn't be mistaken, after all, it's such a big deal to find a child. If that's the case, you might have the wrong person. Well then, we'll head back now..."
"That won't do." Upon hearing the word "go back," Liu Cuihua couldn't sit still and almost jumped up to object.
"Mom." Su Peipei grabbed her shoulder, her eyes full of warning.
Liu Cuihua pouted, and the two stared at each other for a long time before she finally gave in and lowered her head in silence.
After settling Liu Cuihua in, Su Peipei continued, giving Old Master Qin an embarrassed smile.
