Chapter 260 Coincidence
After talking with Gu's mother for a while, Su Xiangwan finally spoke up about what she had just discovered.
After hearing Su Xiangwan's words, Gu's mother was stunned for a moment, and the faces of Shao Zijie and Xu Yirou appeared in her mind.
After a long pause, she finally spoke in surprise, "Oh my! Xiang Wan, what you said is really true... I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. Now that you say it, Zijie and Yirou really do look alike! What a coincidence!"
"Mom, have you forgotten what the Tong family said to us when they came?" Su Xiangwan could only amusedly remind her when she saw that Gu's mother hadn't grasped the deeper meaning of her words.
"You mean... what Aunt Tong said is that Xu Yirou isn't her parents' biological child, but rather a child her adoptive mother secretly swapped with someone else's daughter?"
Gu's mother also remembered this matter.
She was quite angry when she heard Cai Shuhua say that.
This is truly despicable. Seeing that other families are well-off, they secretly switched their own child with someone else's child.
If their goal was simply to give their children a better life, then they have achieved their objective.
But this despicable couple still abused Xu Yirou, making her suffer so much from a young age and turning her into a victim of their exploitation.
“Yes, Mom, don’t you think Xu Yirou and Shao Zijie look a lot alike, but Shao Ziyu doesn’t look like Shao Zijie at all?” Su Xiangwan said.
"You mean, Xu Yirou is very likely the daughter of the Shao family? No... that can't be right! What a coincidence!"
Mother Gu immediately shook her head, thinking that her daughter-in-law was being a bit too daring!
Unfortunately... Xu Yirou isn't actually the Xu family's biological daughter.
But then he got into Peking University and came to the capital.
It was through their family that I got to know the Shao family.
Then, by sheer coincidence, Xu Yirou became the daughter of the Shao family who had been switched out!
Even when writing a novel, you wouldn't dare write something like this!
If Su Xiangwan could hear Gu's mother's thoughts at this moment, she would probably look at her mother in shock and exclaim, "Mom, how do you know we're in the world of a novel? As the former female lead of this novel, is it wrong for Xu Yirou to have some dramatic or absurd events happening to her? Of course not!"
Seeing that her daughter-in-law remained silent, Gu's mother assumed that she was still troubled by the matter and quickly said, "Xiang Wan, we can't talk nonsense about this! It would be bad if we made a misunderstanding!"
At that time, the Shao family might not dare to say anything about them, but they might certainly shift the blame to Xu Yirou, thinking that she was someone who had climbed the social ladder.
After seeing that the Shao family was well-off, he deliberately said those words, wanting to take Shao Ziyu's place.
"Mom, don't worry! I know what I'm doing."
Su Xiangwan nodded.
Just as Gu's mother said, everything is just her speculation right now.
It is indeed untenable to conclude that Xu Yirou is the daughter of the Shao family simply because she and Shao Zijie look alike.
Actually, getting an accurate answer to this matter isn't difficult. Just find out the blood types of the Shao family members and Xu Yirou, and that should be enough to confirm it.
Of course, if blood type still can't prove it, in a few years, the technology for paternity testing will be very mature.
At that time, all Xu Yirou needs to do is have a paternity test with them, and everything will be clear.
Well, it's actually quite simple to check the blood types of the Shao family members.
My second brother works at the hospital now; I can just ask him when the time comes.
Anyway, blood type isn't exactly a private matter.
Thinking of this, Su Xiangwan secretly made up her mind that once her second brother finished his wedding and went back to work, she would ask him to investigate this matter.
The reason Su Xiangwan cared so much about this matter was...
On the one hand, it was because she had a very good impression of Xu Yirou.
On the contrary, she had a very, very bad impression of Shao Ziyu.
Today, Shao Ziyu almost ruined her second brother's wedding banquet.
They even ruined their younger sister's reputation, acting arrogantly and disrespectfully towards everyone.
What she relied on was simply that she was the daughter of the Shao family.
I wonder if Shao Ziyu will still be so arrogant once he loses his identity?
In the neighboring yard.
Wu Yong'an and the others said they were going to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, but they only did it symbolically for a short while before considerately leaving the bridal chamber to the newlyweds, Su Xiangbei and Gu Yanfei.
After leaving the room, Wu Yong'an looked at Xu Yirou, who was admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
By this time, it was getting dark.
With her delicate features and simple, plain-colored clothes, Xu Yirou stood among the flowers, looking as beautiful as a fairy untouched by worldly affairs, as if she might drift away with the wind at any moment.
Wu Yong'an subconsciously slowed his pace, suddenly feeling that he didn't want his presence to disrupt the tranquil atmosphere.
He always knew that Xu Yirou was beautiful.
However, being as clever as she is, in a poor and remote place like Bakushu Village, where the law often cannot reach in time, she deliberately makes herself look disheveled.
So as not to let the bachelors in Bakushu Village focus their dirty and evil gazes on her.
This remained unchanged even after they established a relationship.
Wu Yong'an understood that Xu Yirou had experienced too much and witnessed just how terrifying the lowest aspects of human nature could be.
She is a person who is extremely insecure.
All of this stems from her background and her experiences.
It was precisely because of this that Wu Yong'an, after deciding to date her, was determined to protect this pitiful girl with a tragic fate.
Fortunately, with his patient explanation and after entering the capital, Xu Yirou gradually opened up her heart and stopped hiding herself in the cocoon she had woven, just like before.
She began to dress herself up, like other girls in their twenties in the city, keeping herself clean and tidy.
On her face, there was the radiant smile that a girl her age should have.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Originally, Wu Yong'an was worried that Shao Ziyu's humiliation of Xu Yirou today would cause her considerable emotional distress.
But the result surprised Wu Yong'an. Xu Yirou's performance was much stronger and braver than he had expected.
She fought back with composure and dignity, making Shao Ziyu pay the price for his words and actions, and even prompting Shao's father to take the initiative to apologize to Xu Yirou for Shao Ziyu's mistakes.
