Chapter 91 The Dowry for Xixi
When the hospital investigated and found out which two parties were switched at birth, no one knew what kind of life the switched children were living.
Yan Zhao felt a bitter taste in her mouth, "They were born in the same hospital, so their family backgrounds wouldn't be that different..."
Wenxi: "Businesses can go bankrupt, employees can be fired, officials can fall from power... Nothing in this world is permanent."
"If I delay or conceal the truth because of my selfishness, it could lead to irreversible consequences and cause tragedy for two families."
This is why Wenxi flew back to China immediately after discovering that her blood type was incorrect.
Yan Zhao's expression was somewhat numb.
She said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, you are all selfless, fair and rational, and I am the only selfish one..."
From beginning to end, she never wanted to change parents or leave the home where she had lived for twenty-seven years.
"I don't know why my life has become like this?"
In just a few months, his adoptive parents went from doting on him to being extremely dissatisfied with him, and his adopted brother was also implicated and kicked out of the house because of him.
Her marriage to Lu Jinghuai was more like an absurd farce.
This farce was still just her performing a one-woman show.
Everyone else can clearly distinguish between emotion and reason, but she was controlled by her emotions and lost her reason.
Why were the babies switched at birth?
Why isn't she her parents' biological daughter?
It all seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on her.
Yan Zhao was in the midst of grief when her phone suddenly rang.
"Zhaozhao, hurry home, your brother is back!"
Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment before she realized that the "brother" Ning Jin mentioned was her own brother, Wen Zhou.
Suddenly, Yan Zhao looked up at Wen Xi.
What kind of person is Wen Zhou?
Yan Zhao suddenly remembered Yan Xu's various grievances and disrespect towards Wen Xi.
If Wen Zhou knew, would he retaliate on Wen Xi's behalf and treat her in the same way?
Yan Zhao: "Your brother is back."
Wenxi remained calm and showed little reaction.
Yan Zhao was puzzled.
Didn't they say that Wenxi and Wenzhou had a very good relationship?
Wen Zhou has been abroad for almost three months. He's finally back, so why doesn't Wen Xi have any expression at all?
Yan Zhao asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go back and see him together?"
Wenxi looked down at her phone.
No messages came in.
Wenxi: "No need."
She couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you and your siblings had a very good relationship?"
As soon as Yan Zhao finished speaking, he met Wen Xi's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Her aloof eyes held a faint smile, and her whole demeanor exuded an air of superiority.
Yan Zhao really hated Wen Xi's expression.
It seemed as if he saw through everything, yet it also seemed as if he was mocking her.
Yan Zhao picked up her bag: "If you're not going, then forget it. I'm leaving now."
Wenxi: "Remember to pay the bill."
Yan Zhao: "?!"
"You apologize, but you can't expect me to treat you to a meal, can you?"
Yan Zhao scanned the code to pay, feeling a little frustrated.
Wenxi: "Wait, I haven't ordered yet."
Yan Zhao: "...Hurry up!"
She was wrong!
Wen Xi is even more despicable than Lu Jinghuai!
Yan Zhao paid the bill and left, looking furious.
She felt that Wenxi had deliberately provoked her!
Yan Zhao was still a little unaccustomed to driving to the Wen family's house.
This home and everyone in it were complete strangers to her.
Yan Zhao took a deep breath, composed herself, and then entered the Wen family villa.
As soon as she entered, she noticed that Wen Haichuan and Ning Jin were sitting on either side of the living room table, their expressions somewhat serious.
The main seat is empty, as if it's waiting for someone.
This was the first time Yan Zhao had seen Wen Haichuan and Ning Jin, the couple, in the same place since returning to the Wen family.
Yan Zhao approached blankly, "Dad, Mom, do you... have something important to discuss?"
"By the way, Mom, didn't you say you were going to spend Chinese New Year abroad this year? Why are you back now?"
Ning Jin's tone was somewhat hesitant, "I ran into your brother, so we came back together."
Wen Haichuan calmly took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Your brother sent me a message asking me to come home."
Ning Jin beckoned to her: "Come and sit down."
"Don't be afraid, your brother... probably just wants to say a few words."
"He only found out about the two families switching the children back."
Yan Zhao nodded.
Just as she was about to sit down, rhythmic footsteps echoed in the stairwell.
Yan Zhao looked in the direction of the sound and was immediately struck by the beauty.
The man who slowly descended had strikingly handsome features.
His eyes were dark and sharp, and his pale face gave off a sickly air, diminishing his radiance and adding a touch of gloom.
The moment Yan Zhao saw Wen Zhou, she suddenly thought of the medieval noble oil paintings on the walls of an art exhibition abroad.
The moment Yan Zhao saw Wen Zhou, she suddenly understood why the Wen family had never doubted that Wen Xi was not their biological son for more than twenty years.
Both the brother and sister are exceptionally good-looking.
Wen Zhou walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, glancing indifferently at Yan Zhao. "Sit."
Yan Zhao felt as if a cold wind had swept across her cheek when Wen Zhou glanced at her.
Yan Zhao couldn't bring herself to say "brother" out loud.
Her first impression of Wen Zhou was that he was colder than Lu Jinghuai, more unfathomable than Shang Chen, and more dangerous than Wen Xi.
She obediently sat down.
Wen Zhou took out a document, pressed his fingertips against it, and slowly pushed it forward, his voice cold: "I have a clear understanding of what has happened during this period."
"This is my paternity test result. Please take a look."
All three people present were stunned.
Ning Jin chuckled and said, "Azhou, your dad was holding you as soon as you came out of the delivery room, there's no mistake."
Wen Haichuan nodded repeatedly: "You're the first one I hugged, no doubt about it!"
He had barely finished speaking when he met Wen Zhou's mocking gaze.
Wen Haichuan fell silent.
When Ning Jin gave birth to Yan Zhao, his lover also had an upset stomach.
Wen Haichuan abandoned Ning Jin to take care of his pregnant lover.
By the time he arrived at the hospital, the child had already been switched at birth.
He even had an argument with Ning Jin, who had just given birth.
The two children were switched at birth, and Wen Haichuan is 90% responsible for the Wen family's situation.
Ning Jin also looked at Wen Haichuan with a mocking expression.
"If it weren't for that bitch outside, how could my daughter have been switched at birth!"
"How dare you bring up what happened back then!"
Yan Zhao panicked.
I have a feeling that something's off about the atmosphere in this house.
She felt lost and out of place.
Wen Zhou said expressionlessly, "I don't want to investigate whose responsibility it is today for the children being switched at birth."
"What I am about to say, you just need to listen, without offering any opinions."
Ning Jin asked in a low voice, "A-Zhou, just say what you want to say, there's no need to be so serious."
"Don't scare your sister."
Wen Zhou glanced at her coldly, and Ning Jin immediately shut up.
He calmly took out another document.
“I plan to transfer all of Xichuan’s shares to Xixi’s name, and then give two percent of Wen’s shares to Xixi as her dowry.”
Wen Haichuan was startled: "On what grounds?"
Ning Jin instinctively said, "How can this be?!"
