The family finished their meal in silence, and Tingting and Jianjun waited for Fubao to tell them what had happened that day.
"Fu Bao, tell me what's wrong with you today? You've been unhappy ever since you came back. Did something happen to you?"
"No, Qiuqiu, you should go back inside first."
"Fu Bao, are you talking about me? What's going on that you're not letting me know?"
"Qiuqiu, you should go back first. Maybe Fubao is too embarrassed to say it."
"Alright then, I'm going to read a book."
"Now you can talk, Fu Bao. Let me hear what's troubling you, Fu Bao?"
"Mom and Dad, on my way home today, a little girl called out to me and said a few words to me."
"You're saying that she and I are the real sisters, and I'm not your biological daughter, is that true?"
“She said if I didn’t believe her, I should go to the next village to find her, saying that her mother misses me very much,” Fu Bao said, crying as she spoke.
"I can hardly believe she wants to see me right now, but the way she said it so seriously makes me..."
"They said they would tell me everything that happened back then. Is it really true, Mom and Dad?"
After hearing what Fu Bao said, Jianjun and Tingting exchanged glances, unsure of how to tell Fu Bao.
Over the years, they have treated Fu Bao as their own child, and since she is their only daughter, she is the darling of the family.
Because the blanket that wrapped the child was burned, the old woman never came to the village again, and the matter was forgotten.
But unexpectedly, now that the family is doing well, it has caused others to overthink things, and all sorts of troubles have come up.
Tingting and Jianjun planned to keep Fu Bao's existence a secret for life, never intending to tell her, also because they were worried the child wouldn't be able to accept it.
But now it seems they have no choice but to speak out, and things are unlikely to develop the way they want.
Jianjun wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to begin, and hesitated for a moment.
Jianjun and Tingting's hesitation made Fubao's heart sink; it seemed that everything she had said was true.
This answer was a blow to Fu Bao, and she found it hard to accept.
For a moment, the whole family fell silent and did not utter a word.
"Fu Bao, I want to ask you, even if you know about this, do you really want to leave, for yourself and for this family?"
“No, I don’t want to leave. I have parents who are the best to me. I just can’t accept it right now,” Fu Bao said, tears streaming down her face.
“We respect your wishes. If you want to see your mother, you can go and see her,” Tingting said, feeling deeply saddened.
"Father and Mother, don't you want me anymore? I don't want to go. I'm not stupid. Why didn't they come looking for me before? The only reason they're coming is because our family is doing well."
Hearing Fu Bao's words, Tingting also started to cry. She hugged Fu Bao and said, "Fu Bao, your father and I will never abandon you. You will always be our family's treasure. You are our daughter."
“Mother, I know they all have ulterior motives, because my brothers all got into Xia University, and I also went to school. I understand all of this.”
"But I was still very sad after I heard about this from her."
“I always thought I was our family’s precious daughter, and my brothers always doted on me at home.”
"Now that I know about my background, I feel a huge blow and a great sense of loss."
