Chapter 58: Coming to the Door
"No, the human traffickers on the train were not caught, and the child was sold into the mountains. When the Zhao family found him, he was already ten years old and didn't recognize them. The Zhao family found out that the person who did this was their business rival."
Shijiu explained immediately.
Lianyi touched his double chin and said very proudly:
"It seems that I am very lucky. I helped others and myself at the same time."
“…”
"In that case, there's no need for me to keep these fat pieces!"
Lianyi spent a leisurely summer vacation, and during the forty days in the capital, she gradually lost weight to 60 kilograms, completely getting rid of the word fat. The girl's youthful beauty began to bloom, and even Wu Junyi was amazed.
"I didn't expect that you would look so good when you lose weight, big sister."
"If you can't speak, shut up."
"Is it not okay for me to praise you? But why don't you look like our father or our mother?"
Wu Junyi muttered softly.
"I look like my grandma!"
Ripple said calmly.
At this time, Wu Yong's mother was still alive and in good health. She loved her eldest granddaughter Lianyi very much, after all, she raised her.
On the other hand, Zhao Fenglin began to investigate after meeting Lianyi.
If he had only seen Lianyi and felt that her appearance was somewhat similar to his lover, and her birth time and place were too coincidental with his own daughter, he would just be a little confused.
Because he still remembered that the lover of his wife's old classmate also gave birth on the same day.
However, when he saw Lianyi showing him the family photo, he became completely suspicious. The woman in the photo looked like his daughter Zhao Xianrou, the only difference was that one was a young girl and the other was a middle-aged version.
So when Lianyi brought Wu Junyi back home, she met Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu as expected, as well as the Wu Yong couple who were standing beside them in an awkward manner.
Zhou Mengyu, who was still doubtful before, and Wan Guifen, who felt guilty, had different expressions after seeing the ripples of successful weight loss.
Zhou Mengyu's doubts disappeared instantly and her eyes turned red. She knew very well that the girl in front of her was her biological daughter.
Wan Guifen's eyes showed disappointment, loss, and a hint of relief.
Only Wu Junyi was a little confused. He looked at Zhou Mengyu, then at his sister, and blurted out:
"Sister, why does she look so much like you?"
"I don't know either."
Lian Yi pretended not to know, then looked at Zhao Fenglin and asked doubtfully:
"Mr. Zhao, did you come to my house specially to thank me?"
"Mr. Zhao thanks you? Lianyi, what happened?"
Wu Yong spoke up and broke the silence.
It was obvious that the two parties had just met and had not yet officially gotten to the point.
"I know about that."
Wu Junyi was not affected by the strange atmosphere at all, and started talking about the human trafficking gang he encountered on the train.
Wu Yong and Wan Guifen were also shocked after hearing this, especially Wan Guifen, who grabbed Wu Junyi's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Lianyi, you are too brave. If you find something wrong, you should tell the police. You..."
Before Wu Yong could finish his words, he was interrupted by his wife:
"Okay, stop talking, they are a gang of human traffickers, and they have been targeting the siblings for a long time.
They calculated that Lianyi was nervous about her brother and set a trap. If it were you and me, we would have gone there too. How old is the child? This time we got away with it, so don't lecture me."
Wan Guifen's words were sincere; her son was the treasure in her heart.
Wu Yong could only cough awkwardly and said nothing more.
"It was because of this human traffickers gang that I was able to meet Lianyi. She also saved my brother's son Zhao Zitong. It was because of this that I discovered the mistake I made seventeen years ago."
Zhao Fenglin went straight to the point.
Lianyi just looked at Wu Yong, her nominal father.
"Lianyi, you are not our daughter, you are the daughter of Mr. Zhao and Zhou Mengyu.
You were born in the same hospital, very close to each other, and because of the nurse's negligence, you two were mistakenly swapped."
Wu Yong spoke first.
"Ah? Really? You must be kidding!"
Before Lianyi could get over her surprised expression, Wu Junyi spoke loudly.
"You kid..."
Wan Guifen glared at her son, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lian Yi who pretended to be surprised.
"That's right, how could there be such a coincidence? I don't believe it. We can't be sure just based on their similar appearance!"
After Lianyi finished speaking, she looked at Wan Guifen, as if seeking confirmation.
"Lianyi, there is nothing wrong with this matter. We have already done a paternity test."
Zhao Fenglin gave an affirmative answer.
Lianyi fell into a long silence, as if she was unwilling to accept this fact. She stood up, went back to her own room, and closed the door tightly.
Wu Junyi on the side looked left and right, and finally closed his mouth, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
The small living room also fell into an awkward silence, and Wan Guifen looked at the two people opposite carefully, and then whispered:
"Lianyi is still young and can't accept it for the time being. She has been our daughter for 17 years, and suddenly we are told that she is not our child. Not to mention being our child, we feel uncomfortable.
I can also see that both of them are successful people, and their conditions are definitely better than ours. Even so, we have never treated our child unfairly, and have done our best to give her the best. Lianyi has also been raised in our palms. "
"Sister Wan, I can see these even if you don't say them."
Zhou Mengyu nodded and said.
In this regard, Wan Guifen did a good job of saving face. Even her husband Wu Yong could not find any fault with her. As for her private favoritism towards her youngest son, Wu Yong would not say much even if he knew about it. He was more traditional and somewhat patriarchal. After all, sons were to carry on the family line.
"So how is my daughter? Does she know about this?"
Wan Guifen asked while rubbing her fingers nervously.
"We haven't told Xianrou about this yet. She's traveling to France during the holidays."
Zhou Mengyu said in a low voice.
The couple had not discussed how to tell Xianrou about this matter. Besides, she was not in Shanghai, so it was obviously inappropriate to tell her over the phone. So they unanimously decided to take Lianyi back first.
Then wait for Xianrou to come back and tell her in person that the two children were swapped by mistake and there are many doubts about it that they have not figured out.
When Wan Guifen heard this, although she looked a little worried, she was actually very happy in her heart. After all, her child was enjoying the best resources. If her biological daughter was with her, she would not have the opportunity to spend her summer vacation abroad. This is the difference.
"Can I see her then?"
Wan Guifen asked cautiously.
"Of course, she is your daughter."
Zhao Fenglin nodded.
"I'm sorry, Lianyi won't go with you today. Let's talk to her carefully, then see what happens."
As the head of the family, Wu Yong tactfully suggested sending the guest away. He really needed to think about this matter carefully.
There was a knock on the door at this time. Wu Junyi opened the door first. Standing outside the door was a strange man he didn't know.
