Chapter 107 The Real and Fake Heiress
As soon as Ning Xuan and the others stepped out of the courtyard, they saw a group of people gathered at the educated youth compound, making a lot of noise.
As Ning Xuan and the others approached, Zhao Yulian quickly grabbed Ning Xuan and Xu Jiajia, exclaiming in shock, "Do you know what? He Qiaofang isn't actually a biological child of the He family!"
"Huh?" Ning Xuan and Xu Jiajia were both quite surprised.
Seeing the shocked expressions on Ning Xuan and the other woman's faces, Zhao Yulian felt satisfied with sharing the gossip, and then dropped another bombshell, "And do you know who the He family's biological children are?"
Seeing Zhao Yulian's somewhat gloating expression, Ning Xuan had a guess in her mind, "Could it be that she's in the educated youth compound?"
Zhao Yulian exclaimed in a low voice, "Wow, Ning Xuan, you're so smart! It's Li Tong! The He family's biological daughter is actually Li Tong! That's so strange. I really don't know how they could have been switched at birth when they were so far apart."
When He Qiaofang first arrived, she always wanted Li Tong to do this and that for her. Li Tong wasn't talkative, but she had a strong personality. She would either ignore her or directly retort, which made He Qiaofang afraid to provoke her. Little did she know that Li Tong was the real heiress, and He Qiaofang was still so arrogant after usurping her place.
Ning Xuan and the others were quite shocked upon hearing this. In her shock, Ning Xuan wondered if the He family was one of the children whose children had been deliberately swapped by Dieter.
At this moment, inside the educated youth compound, He Qiaofang was throwing a tantrum, refusing to be taken away. "I've lived in the He family since I was little, how could I not be my parents' daughter? You must have made a mistake, go away, I don't want to go with you!"
Du Lihua watched her daughter, whom she had cherished for over a decade, throw a tantrum and instinctively wanted to help her up. However, just as she was about to lift her foot, she saw Li Tong standing silently to the side, and she forcibly suppressed her impulse.
She called out softly to Li Tong, "Xiao Tong, may I call you that?"
Li Tong's face remained expressionless as she coldly said, "Do as you please."
Seeing her own daughter being so cold to her, Du Lihua felt very sad, but she also knew that this child had not been raised by her side since she was a child, and she had heard that her adoptive parents had not treated her very well either, so she could understand her personality.
In fact, Li Tong was not as calm as she appeared. When she first heard that her biological mother had come to find her, she was quite excited, but it turned out that it was He Qiaofang's mother.
Although they weren't her biological parents, after all these years, they had managed to raise He Qiaofang to be like this, and she felt quite disappointed in her so-called biological parents, even though she hadn't yet met her biological father or anyone else.
Although He Qiaofang was making a scene, she kept an eye on Du Lihua. When she saw that Du Lihua was unmoved by her crying and was even talking to Li Tong in a fawning manner, He Qiaofang broke down and broke free from the people around her, trying to run towards Du Lihua.
"Mom, tell them they've made a mistake! How could I not be Mom and Dad's daughter?" He Qiaofang's hair was disheveled, and tears and snot streamed down her face. Because she was being held back again, she could only shout at Du Lihua through the crowd.
Du Lihua looked troubled. "Qiaofang, go with them first. Once the matter is investigated, they will send you back to your biological parents."
Seeing that Du Lihua wasn't helping her, He Qiaofang turned her gaze to Gu Yunze, "Brother Yunze, say something! We've known each other since we were little, we grew up in the same compound, how could I not be my parents' daughter? Our families were even betrothed as children, I'm your fiancée!"
"Don't talk nonsense. That was just a joke between our elders. I've never admitted to it," Gu Yunze said coldly, stopping He Qiaofang from continuing.
Clearly, Gu Yunze's indifferent attitude made He Qiaofang even more devastated. "You're talking nonsense! You must also consider me your fiancée. All these years, I've only been the one girl by your side!"
Gu Yunze said impatiently, "How old are we? I've never had any feelings for you other than that of a neighbor's sister. And isn't it all thanks to you that I only have you by my side? Even though your family has taken care of everything for you, do you think no one knows what you've done?"
The people in the compound are only not calling you out on it to your face because they're giving your grandfather face!
This time, not only was He Qiaofang's mentality shattered, but even Du Lihua's expression changed. She thought that the things her family had handled for Qiaofang in the past were not a big deal, but now Gu Yunze had brought it up to her face, and even said that everyone in the compound knew about it.
Their family is already under investigation because of the baby swap incident; what if these things are brought up again...?
Du Lihua dared not think any further. At this moment, she deeply regretted not disciplining He Qiaofang properly because of her family.
Worried that Gu Yunze would reveal more, Du Lihua quickly called out to him, "Yunze~", the pleading tone in her voice was clear to everyone present.
Gu Yunze thought about the relationship between the He family and his own family, and how the He family had always treated him very well, so he stopped saying anything.
Seeing that it was about time, Lu Yan made a gesture, and Lin Qing and the others finally got serious, holding He Qiaofang tightly and pulling her out.
"He Zhiqing, we just want to investigate whether there are any other hidden circumstances surrounding the baby swap. Please cooperate fully."
No matter how much He Qiaofang cried and made a fuss, she couldn't break free from Lin Qing and the others, and could only be taken to the car outside.
Lu Yan then said to Du Lihua and Li Tong, "You two should come with me first to cooperate with the investigation."
Li Tong nodded upon hearing this and followed behind as they walked out.
In fact, Lu Yan did not initially intend to cause such a big commotion. The He family was indeed the victim at the time, and the child was deliberately switched by Dieter's side.
However, after so many years, none of them know if any members of the He family have betrayed them, so an investigation is still needed.
Given that Du Lihua is the child's biological mother and has not yet been convicted, she couldn't sit still when she heard that her daughter wasn't her biological daughter and that her biological daughter had been found. She applied to come along so she could see her biological daughter as soon as possible.
Lu Yan thought that if someone in the He family betrayed them, and that Du Lihua wanted to reconcile their statements beforehand, he would give her an opportunity to seize the loopholes and set a trap. So he agreed.
That's why Du Lihua came along this time. Unexpectedly, He Qiaofang, who usually seems arrogant and domineering, actually has a very poor mental state. As soon as she heard that she was going to be taken back to cooperate with the investigation, she panicked and thought that the bad things she had done in the past had been dug up.
When Du Lihua blurted out that the children weren't their biological offspring, He Qiaofang exploded. They had only intended to discreetly take the relevant personnel to cooperate with the investigation, so they deliberately chose this time when everyone was eating and there were fewer people outside. However, He Qiaofang started crying and making a scene, revealing everything.
After He Qiaofang and the others got on the car and drove away, the educated youth compound finally quieted down.
The educated youth who had been watching, as well as the team members who had run over after hearing the commotion, were also preparing to disperse.
Lu Yan saw Ning Xuan and gestured for her to wait a moment.
