Chapter 912 was sent away
Qiu Linshan frowned slightly: "Can't speak? You mean her account was hacked and she can't contact Zhiming?"
Qiu Zhiming pursed his lips and remained silent, intuitively sensing that Ye Wanxi did not mean that.
Ye Wanxi didn't explain much, but only reminded him: "After you met this lady, was there anyone else around you who seemed strangely familiar or even dazed, but you ultimately ignored them?"
The Qiu family was taken aback: "Miss Ye means that the person Zhiming truly loved may have come looking for him after that, but he ignored her. But since she did come looking for him, why didn't she acknowledge Zhiming as her?"
Could it be that he got angry because he realized Zhiming had mistaken him for someone else, or perhaps he misunderstood because he saw Zhiming going in and out with that imposter?
Qiu Zhiming was stunned when he heard Ye Wanxi's reminder, and his long-buried memories suddenly became clear.
Despite having little prior contact with her, she felt strangely familiar to him, and perhaps... he couldn't bring himself to speak.
The tightly closed gate was suddenly pushed open at this moment, and Qiu Zhiming finally saw a figure that was always around him, staring at him with complicated eyes, but always hesitant to speak.
"She can't speak, she can't speak..." Qiu Zhiming felt as if his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer. The pain made him clutch his clothes tightly, curl up like a shrimp, and tears streamed down his face. "She's mute! I should have known, I should have known!"
She was mute and couldn't speak, so she retreated into her shell out of inferiority, feeling that even using words was a luxury, and only daring to pour her feelings into those photographs.
She longed for every bit of beauty and every ray of light in this world, yet she feared that if she took a step forward, her flaws would be discovered, and she would be wounded beyond repair.
She was the one who mustered up the courage to take the first step, but he failed to catch her reckless leap as she had hoped.
She was injured, withdrew her outstretched foot, and returned to her shell, while he only realized what he had missed two months later!
Regret and heartache enveloped Qiu Zhiming, making his already pale face look somewhat ferocious, and his gaze towards Ruan Xiaoyu seemed as if he wanted to tear her apart.
"You deserve to die, Wang Dingcai deserves to die, you all deserve to die!"
Qiu Zhiming was very weak at the moment, and Aunt Qiu was afraid that he would get sick from the anger, so she quickly comforted him, "Zhiming, Zhiming, don't worry, your health is the most important thing. Didn't Miss Ye just say that the girl is fine? Once you're better, your parents will help you find her, we'll definitely help you find her and explain things to her. Don't worry..."
Mrs. Qiu quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we'll help you look. We're sure we'll find it."
On the contrary, Mr. Qiu, who had been watching from the sidelines, listened to the conversation between the two and looked thoughtful with a serious expression: "The mute, the mute... Could it be her?"
"Dad, do you know something?"
Qiu Linshan's shout drew everyone's attention.
"Brother, do you really know where that girl is?"
"Brother, if you know, please tell me quickly, I'm so worried."
Mr. Qiu's lips twitched, and he cleared his throat, saying, "I don't know if it's true... Back then, the Wang family always caused trouble for my younger brother and sister-in-law. My second son asked me to help teach them a lesson, so I casually looked into their family situation, and that's how I discovered a little secret."
"What little secret?"
"The wife that the youngest son of the Wang family married had given birth to a child before."
"What? She's been married and has children?" Aunt Qiu was taken aback; she really didn't know that.
Given their family's traditions, if her sister-in-law were truly divorced, her parents would absolutely never allow her to marry into the family.
"Has had children, but is not married."
Mr. Qiu dropped another bombshell: "The youngest daughter-in-law of the Wang family had a child with a man before. Because she was underage, they couldn't get a marriage certificate, so they only held a wedding banquet. Later, she gave birth to a girl, who is also mute. The man's family disliked her and abandoned her and her child."
"Not long after that, the woman abandoned the child with a relative and married into the Wang family."
Hearing this, Aunt Qiu's eyes flashed with understanding. No wonder, they had never registered their marriage, the child was left to be raised by someone else, and the child was not registered in her household. Even if her parents and her self-important younger brother wanted to find out, they couldn't.
Thinking of this, Aunt Qiu almost burst out laughing. What was this? Was she a wild goose that got its eyes pecked out by another goose?
If her family found out about this, they'd be furious.
But soon, she stopped laughing.
"What my brother means is that Zhiming likes that abandoned mute child."
Mr. Qiu looked at his younger brother's family of three with sympathy and sighed, "I found out that the girl's adoptive parents were quite old and passed away when she was around ten years old. They may have told her about her origins before they died. A few years ago, the girl went to see the Wang family's daughter-in-law, perhaps wanting to recognize her relatives, or perhaps she just wanted to see her biological mother."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhiming couldn't help but ask, "Did they meet with him?"
"There should be."
Qiu Zhiming's expression changed slightly. He knew that since his aunt had abandoned her daughter so cruelly back then, remarried, and had his cousin, how could she possibly be willing to acknowledge a daughter she had once despised and abandoned?
If they hadn't met, it would have been fine, but if they had, who knows how his Xiaoyu would have been humiliated?
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhiming felt extremely resentful.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Linshan subconsciously asked Ye Wanxi, "Miss Ye, are you referring to her?"
Ye Wanxi neither admitted nor denied it.
Qiu Linshan suddenly realized something and looked at the stunned Ruan Xiaoyu again: "Tell me, is the girl who was chatting with Zhiming online Wang Dingcai's half-sister?"
Ruan Xiaoyu never expected that even though she hadn't said anything, these people would still gradually confirm the woman's identity. She shrank back, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, how could the Qiu family not understand?
"It really is her! You stole the account from her? Where is she now?"
Ruan Xiaoyu still didn't want to talk, but Qiu Zhiming had already lost his patience: "Do you really think we can't find out if you don't tell us! If you tell us now, we'll make things easier for you. We'll find out ourselves..."
Ruan Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally spoke: "She...she's fine. After Dingcai took her account, he was afraid she would interfere with our business, so he locked her up. I didn't expect her to actually...actually escape, and almost...Luckily, I got you out of the way, and Dingcai received the news and quickly caught her and sent her away."
