“You, ah!”
Her voice was like a thunderclap, drawing everyone's attention to her, causing the angry words she wanted to blurt out to get stuck in her throat.
However, the emotions she had been forcibly suppressing surged like a surging undercurrent deep within her heart, making it increasingly unbearable. At this moment, she felt like a bomb on the verge of breaking point, a single spark away from a devastating explosion.
She cursed him inwardly, "What a despicable old bastard! He actually hid a pair of gold earrings in his hand, and he held on to them so tightly that he wouldn't let go. He'd rather watch me running around like a headless chicken, exhausted from worrying about my son's betrothal gift, than give me this treasure to deal with the emergency! Does he have a heart of iron? How could he be so cruel!"
Section Chief Zeng returned the gold earrings to Wang Danian and asked, "Does your daughter have any special features on her body, such as birthmarks or moles?"
Wang Danian thought for a moment, looked at his wife blankly, and asked, "Does Shanhu have a birthmark?"
Dafang thought to himself, "This is truly a crucial question! If I can come up with a brilliant answer, then the money will fall easily into my pocket; but if I answer incorrectly, I'm afraid this damned little girl will become worthless. Therefore, I must proceed with caution."
At this moment, her brain was working rapidly, thinking of various possible answers and coping strategies.
Seeing that she hadn't answered the question, Section Chief Zeng asked, "Is this question difficult to answer?"
She immediately shook her head and said, "I haven't paid much attention to it. From what I remember, she doesn't seem to have any obvious birthmarks. However, her skin is very fair and delicate. If there really was a birthmark, I'm sure as a mother I would have noticed it."
As he said this, Dafang's eyes revealed a hint of doubt and worry, as if he was trying hard to think whether he had missed any important details.
"Then again, my daughter has grown up after all! She has her own privacy now, and she can no longer let me see whatever I want like when she was little. What I've described only happened when she was little."
After listening to what she said, Section Chief Zeng felt that although there was nothing wrong with it, she was deliberately hiding something.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door and everyone looked outside.
Dafang immediately stood up, a smile on his face, and said, "The girl is back."
As he opened the door, he saw a young girl coming in. When she saw so many people, she looked suspicious and asked, "Mom, are there any guests at home?"
She was the daughter Wang Danian had been talking about. She had a beautiful face, pure and elegant, and endearing. However, beneath her beautiful exterior lay a faint sadness, like a dew-soaked flower in the morning, which made people feel pity.
Section Chief Zeng naturally noticed this unusual girl, and his eyes fell on her from time to time. But strangely, despite his inner turmoil, his face did not show any sign of emotion.
When Coral saw so many people in the room, she didn't dare to stay in the living room any longer. She nodded politely to everyone and walked into the room.
Dafang followed him in.
When Section Chief Zeng saw this Shan Hu, he felt that compared with Wang Xiaolan from Xiangshui Village, Wang Xiaolan looked more like his wife Yu Wenlin.
At this time, Dafang pulled Shanhu out happily and said, "I just checked, and she doesn't have a single mole on her body, let alone a birthmark."
When Shanhu saw Dafang like this, she said unhappily, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Seeing her gloomy face, Dafang was not angry. Instead, he looked excited and said, "Daughter, your good days are coming."
"Mom, what do you mean? Are you trying to set me up with someone else again? Just give up on that idea!"
As he said that, he shook off Dafang's hand and rushed out.
Dafang said to Shanhu who was running out the door, "Shanhu, you are wrong. That's not what I meant."
Without even turning her head, she said, "Whatever you mean, I won't listen to you anyway."
Dafang was about to say something when she saw Shanhu had already run away. She said to Chief Zeng with an embarrassed look on her face, "I'm sorry, we spoiled her."
Wang Danian said, "You children have seen it, and I have answered all your questions. You can now bring this to a close."
Section Chief Zeng nodded and said, "Based on the information I have, your adopted daughter doesn't meet the requirements of our client. I can say with certainty that she is not the one we are looking for."
When Dafang heard this, her face suddenly darkened and she looked at everyone with impatience. Such a good thing was ruined just like that. She really couldn't accept it!
Dafang tried to argue, saying, "After so many years, even if a child has a birthmark, it will disappear as they grow older. For example, I used to have a black spot here, and I don't know when it disappeared."
Section Chief Zeng smiled and said, "Comrade Dafang, body marks do fade, but that doesn't mean they will disappear forever. Just like moles, they stay with a person for a lifetime. Your child is definitely not the one we're looking for. The earrings Comrade Lao Wang showed me didn't have anything special about them. However, our client's earrings have obvious marks. Of course, if Shanhu's relatives come to us, we'll offer assistance."
Dafang's heart sank when she heard this. Her eyes, once filled with anticipation, instantly dimmed, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them from head to toe. She leaned back in her chair, feeling a wave of disappointment and frustration wash over her.
