Chen Jiayi spent the entire afternoon traveling to reach the city center.
She stayed in a hotel for one night, planning to tidy up in the morning before going to meet her relatives.
Chen Jiayi bought herself a new outfit; yesterday she was wearing a patched-up, dusty dress.
Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had met her biological parents, and she was a little nervous.
Based on clues in the newspaper, Chen Jiayi found the address of the richest man's home.
However, Chen Jiayi was stopped by security guards, and she told them her purpose.
The security guard asked her to register, and as he let her through, he said with some disdain, "This is the sixth person this month to come looking for the richest man to claim kinship."
Chen Jiayi remained calm, ignored the security guard, and walked straight to her destination.
She knocked on the door. "Hello, is anyone home?"
Soon, a woman wearing an apron opened the door.
She stared at Chen Jiayi and looked her up and down.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
Chen Jiayi took out the token and handed it to the other party, saying, "I'm looking for Chen Qiming. I'm his long-lost daughter!"
The nanny was shocked and stared at Chen Jiayi up and down in disbelief.
The nanny shouted excitedly, "Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, come quick!"
Chen Jiayi saw a middle-aged couple staggering over.
Lan Meixuan stared at Chen Jiayi with red eyes, afraid that her hopes would be dashed again.
The middle-aged man spoke with a refined manner: "Hello, I am Chen Qiming, and this is my wife, Lan Meixuan."
Chen Qiming carefully examined the keepsake and confirmed that it was indeed the item he had placed on the child.
They even look somewhat alike!
Perhaps because of their blood relation, Lan Meixuan had a gut feeling that the woman in front of her was her biological daughter!
She burst into tears and broke down, hugging Chen Jiayi tightly.
Chen Jiayi was at a loss, and Chen Qiming, seeing this, quickly comforted Lan Meixuan.
Chen Jiayi had barely sat down when there was a knock on the Chen family's door.
The nanny, with tears in her eyes, went to open the door, where a man and a woman were standing.
The moment Chen Jiayi saw them, her face immediately turned cold.
Lan Meixuan noticed that Chen Jiayi was in a bad mood and gently asked, "What's wrong, Jiayi? Do you know them?"
Chen Jiayi smiled and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"My husband, and a young widow whose husband died and who needs another husband to take care of her."
Chen Jiayi's next words were quite meaningful.
In her past life, her husband's first love, Li Yuzhu, suddenly became the daughter of the richest man and married a senior researcher.
If Li Yuzhu hadn't told me the truth, I would never have known it for the rest of my life!
She only found out before she died that the other woman was actually her husband's first love.
The moment Ding Haowen saw Chen Jiayi, his eyes darkened for a second, and he immediately revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Hello comrades, we're here today to tell you that Chen Jiayi is not your biological daughter! Li Yuzhu is."
Chen Qiming and Lan Meixuan were stunned.
Chen Jiayi was so angry she laughed. She didn't say anything, wanting to see what Ding Haowen would say!
Ding Haowen frowned. "Chen Jiayi is my wife. She grew up with me in the village. She was delivered by the midwife from our village! How could she possibly be your biological daughter?"
"And Yuzhu was born at Zhenxi Hospital! We have her birth certificate! Besides—"
Ding Haowen paused, his tone accusatory.
"Chen Jiayi, haven't I already explained it to you? Yuzhu's husband passed away and she returned to Haicheng alone. I was just entertaining her! Why did you steal the token Yuzhu used to reunite with her family? And then you came here to impersonate her!"
Chen Jiayi knew that Ding Haowen was up to no good.
She glanced at her biological parents. Chen Qiming frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
Lan Meixuan was shocked. She had indeed given birth at Zhenxi Hospital! Many people didn't know this.
She glanced at Chen Jiayi, then at Li Yuzhu.
Lan Meixuan couldn't help but ask, "But Jiayi looks so much like me, she's obviously my biological daughter..."
Ding Haowen adjusted his glasses, adopting a dignified intellectual air, and explained, "The two people look alike, which could also be due to environmental factors. Chen Jiayi and you both grew up in Haicheng."
Chen Jiayi couldn't help but applaud, "Ding Haowen, you're really something! I earn money to support your studies, and you use what you've learned to betray me?"
Ding Haowen glanced at Chen Jiayi with disgust.
He just wanted Li Yuzhu to have a good life!
Chen Jiayi still has herself, but Yuzhu has nothing left.
Can't Chen Jiayi be a little more sensible?
Chen Qiming soberly stated, "Research shows that two people are similar because they have similar genes."
“Chen Jiayi looks a lot like my wife. The environmental factors you mentioned cannot rule out the possibility that they are not related by blood.”
Li Yuzhu said weakly, "My adoptive mother found me at Zhenxi Hospital."
Lan Meixuan looked dazed, as if recalling what happened back then.
At that time, there was still a war! Lan Meixuan had just given birth to Chen Jiayi in the basement when the hospital was bombarded.
The basement collapsed, causing chaos.
It was at this time that Lan Meixuan lost her biological daughter.
For many years, Lan Meixuan has been searching for her biological daughter and feels extremely guilty.
Seeing Lan Meixuan hesitate, Ding Haowen continued to embellish the story.
“I’ve been married to Chen Jiayi for two years, and we grew up in the same village. She’s petty and jealous.”
Ding Haowen said sarcastically, "You used to fake illness to make me worry about you, and you've been lying since you were little. Now you've gone this far, even stealing Yuzhu's identity?"
