Song Xia sighed softly, wondering what Wenwen's expression would be after she found out that the person who had switched identities with her was Zhili.
I really hope the two children won't overthink it and won't ruin their years-long friendship because of this.
The paternity test results won't be available anytime soon. As for what Cheng's assistant said about Song Xia switching the two children back then, the police also need time to verify it, so they're all being asked to go home for now.
Song Wenwen didn't even glance at Cheng Shizhang and Yu Peiyan before getting into a taxi with Song Xia.
"Mom guesses they don't know the real situation of our family, otherwise they wouldn't have been so rude today."
"This is no excuse for their rudeness. If it were a kind family, they would have kindly explained the situation to us. Instead, they were so indifferent and disdainful. Moreover, they came to us without even investigating the situation, which further proves their lack of concern."
Wenwen is a very clear-headed person, so she sees things very clearly and genuinely dislikes that couple.
"Once they find out how rich you are, Mom, they'll probably change their tune. It's better to let them misunderstand and see their true colors sooner rather than later."
"What if they really are your biological parents? Wenwen, how could such a dramatic thing happen to us?"
"Even if it's just blood ties, Mom, I only recognize you. I don't want to leave you. I'm sixteen now, and even if it's in court, I can make my own decisions."
Song Wenwen is now very fortunate that this couple only came to her door when she was already this old. If it had been a few years earlier, she and her mother probably wouldn't have been able to cope with the family's domineering and arrogant attitude.
"Do you want to sleep with Mommy tonight?"
"Yes!" Song Wenwen quickly replied. After taking a shower at home, she lay down on Song Xia's bed, then hugged Song Xia's waist tightly and buried her head in the quilt.
Song Xia chuckled: "You'll have trouble breathing. Come up here and lie down a bit."
Song Wenwen shifted slightly, eventually nestled in Song Xia's armpit and remained still. Just like when she was a child, Song Xia gently patted Wenwen's back.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the Cheng family's home was not good.
Cheng Zhibo raised an eyebrow when he saw that no one had returned: "Dad, Mom, didn't you go to see her? Where is she?"
Cheng Zhili pursed her lips, her heart tightening.
Yu Peiyan snorted coldly: "They saw us, but refused to come back with us or acknowledge us."
"At least she has some conscience, knowing not to abandon the family that raised her."
"What conscience does she have? She has no manners at all. I went to see her out of kindness, and she was so hostile. I don't see any need to acknowledge her back."
"Don't say such angry things. He's still our son." Cheng Shizhang rubbed his temples wearily. "We'll just bring him back and teach him properly later."
"I don't care what you do, I won't care about her. I only recognize Zhili."
“Mom…” Zhili also tried to persuade her, “Maybe she was just too shocked. Mom, please don’t say that. It makes me feel even more guilty and uneasy. After all, I took her place. Even without me, she would still grow up to be the best daughter in your eyes.”
Yu Peiyan was very annoyed: "You are good in every way, so why aren't you born of your mother? You are completely different from that woman. It really depends on upbringing. How can someone with such limited knowledge raise a good child?"
Cheng Zhili didn't know how to respond. After all, her mother was the one who gave birth to her!
No one in the Cheng family noticed Cheng Zhili's embarrassment; they continued chatting about Song Wenwen: "So what do we do now? She refuses to come back. How do we raise her?"
"She doesn't know how wealthy our family is yet. Once she does, she'll be eager to make money. A little bit of money from our household would be enough for her and her foster mother to run a stall for the rest of their lives."
“I’m warning you in advance: even if she admits her mistake and comes back, you are not allowed to give her any money. You must first learn the rules.”
“We all know that suddenly being exposed to so much wealth will definitely make people arrogant, and you will be in charge of distributing the money.”
The family reached a consensus, and if Song Xia knew, she would surely feel heartbroken.
No wonder Wenwen went astray in her past life. At that time, Song Xia was seriously ill and hospitalized, and urgently needed money. However, the Cheng family, who had taken Wenwen back, refused to give her a single penny. How could Wenwen not feel resentful?
On one hand, they look down on Wenwen, but on the other hand, they demand that Wenwen meet their many requirements. Who can stand such a cold environment?
Moreover, later on...
Song Xia, who was still awake, sighed. In her previous life, the Cheng family had clearly promised to treat her properly, but they failed to do so. Even when they passed away, they couldn't let Wenwen see them one last time, simply because they had arranged a blind date for Wenwen and didn't want her to break the agreement and leave a bad impression on others.
Tch... This family's table manners are appalling.
He doesn't want to give anything in return, but wants to use Wenwen to arrange a marriage. I'm afraid that once he finds out about the wealth he has accumulated, he will go to great lengths to get Wenwen to take it back to the Cheng family!
Thinking about it, it's quite possible. After all, the Cheng family is really short of money right now, while I have such a large sum of wealth in my hands, and I don't have any other background behind me.
Wenwen slept restlessly that night, and Song Xia kept gently patting her back.
Cheng Zhili was the same; she lay in bed without removing the small stone, only then could she feel a little calmer.
I wanted to call Wenwen to confide in her, but I remembered my mother's instructions that the Cheng family must not be thrown into turmoil, so I had to suppress my thoughts.
What should she do? After all, she has been living under someone else's identity for so many years. Should she really listen to her parents and stay in the Cheng family?
But if I don't leave, what will happen to the girl's identity when she comes back? And what about my biological mother? Won't I lose all my daughters then?
Cheng Zhili only regretted that she was still too young and couldn't do anything.
If only I were exceptionally capable, my family wouldn't have to worry about cooperating with the Ji family, nor would we have to pay attention to the gossip outside, and both families could be happy together.
well!
Tossing and turning, Cheng Zhili felt that the night was very long. She was not in good spirits when she woke up in the morning, until the police called and said that they wanted her to go and do a paternity test with the other side as well.
Yu Peiyan immediately objected: "Isn't it enough to just prove our blood relation with that child? I will never allow my daughter, whom I raised from a baby, to leave the Cheng family."
“Ms. Yu, that’s not how you put it. The other party also has the right to find out the truth.”
"You should first find out if she switched the child before you talk. Why should I talk about rights with a criminal?"
"Ms. Yu, there is currently no evidence to prove that Ms. Song switched the children."
"Who else could it be but her? Could it be that our Cheng family has done something so heinous and harmful to others without any benefit to ourselves?"
Yu Peiyan firmly refused; once she made up her mind, it was generally difficult to change it.
The police officer on the other end was also speechless, and said seriously, "Ms. Yu, if you do not cooperate, then we will have no choice but to come to your home and take coercive measures."
"Mom..." Before Yu Peiyan could get angry, Cheng Zhili gently comforted her, "It's just asking me to make a trip, it's nothing, it's just their job, they're just following procedure."
