Chapter 21 Xingxing Met a Very Good Adoptive Father
Police station.
After the nanny admitted everything, the entire Cheng family fell into chaos.
The police came and left, and Cheng Yulin followed them to the police station. None of Chen Guixia's family escaped.
When he heard Chen Guixia shouting that he was a liar, this man who was always gentle in front of his mother and wife turned cold for the first time and stared at the family with heavy eyes.
He didn't need to say anything, Chen Guixia had already collapsed and timidly shut up, just sitting there crying in despair.
"Mr. Cheng, have you figured out how to place the other child?" After understanding everything, the police asked Cheng Yulin who was sitting quietly opposite them.
Cheng Yuling folded his fingers on the table and said calmly, "Originally, I planned to find him a nanny and send him abroad to live. After all, I have raised him for three years, so we have an emotional foundation anyway."
At this point, he politely pushed his glasses down on the bridge of his nose and said slowly, "But it was precisely because of his birth that these beasts had thoughts they shouldn't have. He took the place of my own child and enjoyed meticulous treatment during the three years when he was the weakest in his life, while my child's survival depended on fate."
The lenses could not completely hide the coldness in his eyes, but his tone was as gentle as ever: "Our Cheng family has already done everything we can for him. Now that we have found his biological parents, we will send him back. Of course, if his biological parents are sentenced to a heavy sentence and cannot raise him, I am willing to find more relatives for him."
What he said was completely different from the hesitation he showed in front of his mother and wife tonight.
He was a little surprised by the police's indifference towards him, but when he thought about the other abandoned child, he felt that the Cheng family's current handling of the matter was indeed the most humane thing to do.
-
Cheng family, since her husband left, Xu Meng has been staying with her mother-in-law Zhang Yayu.
She didn't need the results of any paternity test. Just when she saw the photo of Xingxing sleeping taken by her mother-in-law on her mobile phone, she was already extremely sure that the child in the photo must be her biological child.
"They look so similar..." She gently touched the little face on the screen with her fingertips, and her breathing unconsciously became much lighter.
Zhang Yayu also stared at the star in the photo. After hearing this, she smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Yes, when I first saw him, I thought I had traveled through time and space to see Xiaoling's childhood appearance."
"...How come I couldn't even recognize my own child after all these years?" Xu Meng stared blankly at the child on the screen. She felt as if her heart was being tightly grabbed by a small hand, causing pain in her chest even when she breathed.
"Mom, when are we going to see the stars?" Xu Meng grabbed her mother-in-law's wrist, her tearful eyes filled with impatience.
Zhang Yayu patted the back of her hand soothingly and explained, "Mom knows you want to see the child, but let's give that young man some more time."
"He is very good to Xingxing. Although he is disabled, he also has a job. He raised Xingxing to this age by himself. He must have put in a lot of effort that we can't imagine. What's more, he needs time to tell Xingxing the truth. If we are too anxious, we might push him too hard and make things ugly."
Xu Meng took her words to heart, but reason is one thing and impulse is another. She really wanted to see the child with her own eyes. She wanted to know how he was brought home and how he was raised. She wanted to know all his growth process and various small details of his life.
"Or... let's go take a look secretly?" Xu Meng held her mother-in-law's fingers tightly.
She could go by herself, but she was afraid that she would lose her mind and do something impulsive and reckless the moment she actually saw the child. She was also afraid that her sudden appearance would leave a bad impression on the child.
She needed someone to hold her up, support her, and keep her awake.
Zhang Yayu sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll talk to Xiao Zhou and see if we can make an appointment to meet tomorrow."
Xu Meng nodded gratefully.
She stared at the message she had sent, secretly waiting for the other party's reply.
Soon, a positive reply came from the other side.
Zhou Xiangyang: Sure, but I’m afraid Xingxing will feel scared and uncomfortable leaving her familiar environment, so if you have time, come over here and meet at home first. I will also explain everything to Xingxing before you come over, okay?
The moment she saw the message clearly, Xu Meng nodded unconsciously: "Of course, it was supposed to be us who went over to meet."
She looked at this particularly appropriate line of words and her eyes felt inexplicably sore.
"Xingxing met a very good adoptive father."
Xu Meng uttered the title "adoptive father" naturally, with genuine gratitude and relief.
She gave the child a life, but it was secretly replaced. Fortunately, this man named Zhou Xiangyang gave the child another life.
Zhang Yayu nodded, sighed in agreement that Xingxing had met a very good person, and then sent Zhou Xiangyang a message to arrange a time to meet.
"Go over there around 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, and cultivate a relationship with Xingxing first. Then we can go out for a meal together and discuss... the issue of raising Xingxing."
Although the arrangements were well made, no one in the Cheng family could sleep tonight.
Xu Meng was busy asking the servants to clean up the original children's room and put new furniture and decorations in it. After getting the news from her son, Zhang Yayu went to see Cheng Qian'an for the last time, and then personally handed the ignorant child to the housekeeper, asking him to take the child to find relatives of the Chen family. Whoever is willing to raise him can pay 100,000 yuan in child support to the other family.
"Grandma, I want my mom..." Cheng Qian'an cried at the top of his lungs. He didn't understand what was going on, but the strange atmosphere at home today and the departure of Grandma Chen who had always taken care of him were enough to make him feel uneasy.
Zhang Yayu looked at this innocent yet not innocent child, and of course she felt distressed due to her emotions. But as her daughter-in-law Xu Meng said, all her emotional foundations for this child were built from her own grandson.
"Send him over, give him another 100,000, and let his adoptive parents give him a new name."
After Zhang Yayu finished speaking, she watched the housekeeper stuff the child into the car and then slowly drive out of her sight in the dark night.
This child has enjoyed three years of time and three years of emotions that originally belonged to Xingxing. Now, there should be nothing left on him that originally belonged to Xingxing.
Including that name.
After dealing with all of this, she and her son and daughter-in-law will be able to empty their messy hearts as soon as possible and put their own children in a clean and spacious place.

Early the next morning, the Cheng family, who had not slept all night, became even more confused.
Even Cheng Yuling, who had been relatively calm, went back and forth in the cloakroom to change countless sets of clothes, just like his wife and mother. He even had his hair styled by a professional hairstylist, for fear that he would leave a bad first impression in front of his children.
When they finally set off, the family sat in the car, all with serious and nervous expressions. If you didn't know them, you might think they were dressed in formal attire to attend some international business conference worth tens of billions of dollars.
In reality, they were just going to pick up their children.
A star that was picked up by Zhou Xiangyang and raised to be a sparkling star.
