Sheng Laosan retorted, "She said it herself, she doesn't have a brother, and Yueyue—"
"She is your own sister, by blood. She suffered so much outside, and how did you treat her when she came back?"
Sheng Laosan said, "What hardship could she possibly endure? She's perfectly healthy."
"Besides, Yueyue is our sister. We've lived together for eighteen years! You've always asked us to take care of Yueyue since she was little, and now you want to share half of your love with someone else? Have you ever thought about how unfair this is to Yueyue?"
Ye Ning's face turned pale, and Sheng Xiuwen quickly grabbed her hand.
Sheng Xiuwen, "Shut up!"
Tonight, Sheng Laosan had really gotten himself into a frenzy. He stubbornly insisted, "Even if you don't want me to say it, I'm going to say it anyway. What did Yueyue do wrong? Suddenly telling her that she's not your biological daughter, she's secretly hiding and crying countless times. She knows nothing. Is that fair to her?"
"Is that what you all think too?" Ye Ning's voice was somewhat weak.
Boss Sheng said, "Blood ties don't represent everything. Yueyue grew up with us since she was little, so naturally we're biased towards her."
After a moment of silence, Sheng Lao Er said, "You were all busy back then, and we raised Yueyue. The first thing she said to us was 'brother.'"
Sheng Laosan turned his head away and said, "Anyway, I only have one younger sister, Yueyue."
Sheng Lao Si remained silent.
Sheng Laowu chuckled, "It's no big deal. Just think of us as having two younger sisters. But people have different degrees of closeness, and you can't force us to do this."
Ye Ning's face showed even greater exhaustion. "So be it, it's all a mess."
A moment later, she looked up, her eyes filled with determination. "In that case, from today onwards, she is only my and your father's child. You two should not cause any trouble in front of her."
She could tell that Xinghe really disliked her sons.
They owe Xinghe so much. Since Xinghe doesn't want to see them, then she, as her mother, should help them out.
After the brothers left, Ye Ning finally couldn't hold back and cried while leaning against Sheng Xiuwen.
"My sister, my sister has suffered so much."
Sheng Xiuwen patted Ye Ning on the shoulder, "She still has us."
"My sister is so good, they'll regret it sooner or later."
"Um."
"Sons are all here to collect debts. It's all your fault. You had so many sons, but none of them are of any use."
Sheng Xiuwen: ...
He was actually wronged.
Ye Ning suddenly looked up, "Also, the matter at St. Anne's Hospital must be investigated thoroughly. I don't believe it's such a coincidence that my sister was switched at birth and then abandoned in the mountains."
They began a secret investigation as soon as they discovered that Sheng Yue was not their daughter.
The hospital explained that there was a heavy rainstorm the night Ye Ning gave birth, which damaged the hospital's power system. In addition, there were several newborns that night, and due to a momentary oversight, the hospital gave the wrong baby to the wrong person.
They wanted to see the records from when they gave birth, but a fire at the hospital fifteen years ago destroyed all the records.
Ye Ning didn't believe such a coincidence could happen.
Her daughter was taken away by an unknown person and abandoned in the deep mountains. If Master Suiyuan hadn't passed through that forest on his way back to the Taoist temple that night, Xinghe would have been gone long ago.
That's their fault too.
At that time, the Sheng family was on the rise. Sheng Xiuwen and Ye Ning were both busy with company affairs. Sheng Xiuwen thought that he would spend more time with Ye Ning after this busy period, and Ye Ning also wanted to help Sheng Xiuwen share some of the burden.
As a result, perhaps due to overwork, Ye Ning went into premature labor. At that time, there was still more than a month left before her due date. Sheng Xiuwen was not by her side, and only a company assistant accompanied her.
The assistant was a young girl with little experience, and she hurriedly took Ye Ning to the hospital.
That day was another day of torrential rain, and floods inundated many places. By the time Sheng Xiuwen arrived at the hospital, Ye Ning had already given birth and was in a deep sleep.
After that, the child they saw was Sheng Yue, while Xing He disappeared without a trace.
Sheng Yue has had a heart condition since childhood, and coincidentally, Ye Ning also has one. The surgery she underwent abroad was for heart surgery.
So even though Sheng Yue didn't look like any of her family members, they never doubted her identity.
On the contrary, out of guilt, he doted on Sheng Yue from a young age.
However, whether it was due to blood ties or not, the couple always felt a distance between themselves and Sheng Yue.
Sheng Xiuwen put his arm around Ye Ning's shoulder and said, "I've been following up on this and also inquiring about Sheng Yue's relatives."
Ye Ning hesitated for a moment, "Do you think it's not a good idea for us to find her parents without telling her? After all, we've lived together for more than ten years."
Although that child is cunning, he hasn't done anything wrong over the years.
Sheng Xiuwen kissed Ye Ning's forehead to comfort her, "People's hearts are always biased. Now our sister only has us left. We can't let her feel heartbroken. If Yueyue is gone, or if her parents are not well-off, raising another child won't be a problem."
“However—” Sheng Xiuwen’s eyes narrowed, “If what happened back then was related to their family, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Shortly after they finished speaking, there was a knock on their door.
Xinghe stood outside the door, hesitating, unsure of what to call out.
Sheng Xiuwen opened the door and saw Xinghe standing there. His eyes softened instantly. "Little sister, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Ning immediately came out of the room.
She flung open the door and glared at the stunned Ye Xiuwen. "Little sister, come in and sit down."
Only then did Sheng Xiuwen belatedly step aside, following Ye Ning somewhat foolishly.
Xinghe wanted to say that she would be leaving soon, but the couple was incredibly enthusiastic.
They also started showing Xinghe the gifts they brought back.
Ye Ning held up the dress to Xinghe, saying, "I was thinking of sending it to you tomorrow, but you just happened to be here."
"The moment I saw this dress, I knew it would suit you perfectly, and I was right."
"My sister is so beautiful, I can't believe I gave birth to such a beautiful baby."
"And this necklace, the red one looks a bit tacky. I'll take a picture of a sapphire one another day and replace the top one."
Xinghe remained frozen in place, letting Ye Ning dress him up.
Sheng Xiuwen stood aside, like a ruthless compliment machine, saying "it looks good" no matter what it was.
If it weren't for his incredibly sincere gaze, Xinghe would have even suspected that his soul had left his body.
After collecting a lot of things, Xinghe remembered the main purpose of her visit today. She took out two jade pendants from her bag.
"This is warm jade, which can nourish the body and is beneficial to health if worn for a long time."
She also added several talismans to the warm jade.
Before Xinghe could finish speaking, Ye Ning had already taken it. Her kitten-like eyes, which were not much different from Xinghe's, seemed to be shining. "Is this a gift for us? I love it so much!"
