"Xiao Jing, are your biological parents here?" Dad Qiao asked his son.
Yuan Jing talked about how he met Xia Mingfeng because of Yao Qiongming. Because he looked like Xia Mingfeng and Xia Mingfeng had been looking for her lost son, she took his hair for identification.
Yuan Jing didn't tell me the result of the paternity test, but Qiao's father and mother guessed it. The result must be a parent-child relationship, otherwise their son would not have talked about what happened that year.
Mother Qiao was very reluctant to let her son go. From what her son had said, his biological mother had been looking for him for more than ten years, and now she had finally found him. Could she be so selfish as to tie her son to her and not let him go to recognize his biological mother?
Mother Qiao couldn't do it, but she couldn't push her son over.
"Where is your biological father?" Mr. Qiao's voice was a little hoarse.
Yuan Jing could only hold their hands tightly to reassure them: "He doesn't know yet. He is not here. I have made an agreement with Ms. Xia not to tell anyone there about this matter. Only Ms. Xia knows about it. Now that I have heard from my parents about how they held me, I suspect that it was not that simple to throw me into the mountains. Because the Jiang family, my biological father's family, is not an ordinary family."
Yuan Jing told Qiao's father and mother about the identity of the old man of the Jiang family and what his biological father Jiang Hong does now. They were shocked to hear that their son came from such a prestigious family. They had seen the old man of the Jiang family, Jiang Hong, on TV before. He was also a provincial official and might even rise in the future. He was not at the same level as ordinary people like them.
His son felt it was a loss to be with them, but then he remembered that his son said that he was abandoned. He panicked and grabbed his son's hand and asked, "Is someone from the Jiang family trying to harm you? Then can we not go back to the Jiang family? Although our family conditions are ordinary, we are not short of food."
No matter what, it's better than losing his life. Think about it, if he hadn't gone into the mountains, if he was unlucky and encountered a wild beast, how could a tiny child escape?
Suddenly, in the eyes of Qiao's father and mother, the Jiang family became a place of tigers and wolves that could take people's lives.
"Don't be nervous. If someone really wanted to harm me, Ms. Xia would definitely not let him go. Now we are not sure what the situation was back then. Ms. Xia is investigating now." Yuan Jing quickly comforted his parents.
Mother Qiao reacted, glared at Father Qiao and said, "Didn't Xiao Jing say that his biological mother had been looking for him for more than ten years? It's obvious that she is a protective son. If she really knew that someone was going to harm Xiao Jing, would her biological mother just ignore it?" The more Mother Qiao talked, the more she felt that her biological mother was a good person. "Xiao Jing, did your biological mother have another child later?"
Yuan Jing shook his head: "No, I heard from Ms. Xia that she only wants to find this child and doesn't want other children."
Because of this, the two elders of the Jiang family also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xia Mingfeng. Xia Mingfeng proposed a divorce, but Jiang Hong disagreed and it has been delayed until now.
Mother Qiao felt even more sympathetic towards Xia Mingfeng: "Your biological mother is a good person. Xiaojing, why do you keep calling her Ms. Xia? Your biological mother must be very sad to hear that."
She was afraid that her son would be recognized before, but now she is speaking for his biological mother. Yuan Jing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He scratched his head and said, "Mom, I'm not used to calling a stranger mom all of a sudden. Let's wait for a while."
When her son agreed, Qiao's mother felt sad again. The son she had raised to such a big age was now going to be given to someone else's family. No, he was originally someone else's.
Although she was jealous, Qiao's mother was sensible: "Your biological mother is still here, right? Let's meet her some other day and talk about what happened back then."
"It should be. The situation was very dangerous back then." Qiao's father agreed. If someone really wanted to harm his son, would they forget about it after more than ten years? What if they found out about his son again? Would they come to harm him again? They didn't have the ability to do that, but maybe his mother could.
"Thank you, Dad. Thank you, Mom."
"Silly child."
That night, Yuan Jing did nothing but stay with his parents, talking to them and watching TV, which really comforted Qiao's parents.
But when it was time to rest, the couple did not fall asleep quickly as usual. Instead, they tossed and turned in bed, sighing repeatedly.
Father Qiao patted Mother Qiao on the back and said, "Go to sleep quickly. It's a good time to rest tomorrow. Xiaojing told them that they might meet tomorrow. If you don't sleep well, you won't look good. From what Xiaojing said, he won't be able to go back so soon unless the matter is investigated. Xiaojing was raised by us, and he is not without conscience."
Mr. Qiao also felt sad, and he tried his best to comfort his wife. After all, his sons would eventually leave their parents when they grow up, and the only one who could depend on them was their spouse.
Qiao's mother said, "I didn't say Xiao Jing has no conscience. I'm just worried. From what Xiao Jing said, his biological mother is a big business owner. You said we are going to meet his biological mother. What if he shows his fear? Oh, should I get up and look for clothes to wear tomorrow?"
Qiao's mother was worried. She didn't know how her son's biological mother would view them. Would she think they didn't give her son better conditions? But they had little education. They had worked hard to buy a house in the city and saved money for their son's college education. Compared with those people in their hometown, they were considered better off, but the gap with their son's biological mother was still too big.
Children from wealthy families learn this and that from a young age, and the money invested in their children is staggering. But their family was in difficult conditions at that time, so they didn't have the spare money to send their son to study this and that. Fortunately, their son was sensible since childhood, and they never had to worry about his studies, so he didn't suffer any delays.
As Qiao's mother was about to turn over, Qiao's father quickly pulled her back down and said, "Okay, we'll look for someone else tomorrow. No matter how poor our family's conditions are, you have to think this way. Our son has us in his heart, and that's enough. It's more important than anything else."
Mother Qiao thought so too. Her son still hadn't called her "Mom" yet. Although she felt sorry for Xia Mingfeng, her biological mother, she felt relieved. "Okay, then go to bed quickly. Don't have dark circles under your eyes."
The couple really went to bed, but Yuan Jing was still typing a translation article in front of the computer. Someone needed it urgently, so he had to work overtime.
In addition to still taking on some translation work, Yuan Jing is also reviewing his medical knowledge and further studying biology. He has no intention of continuing to practice medicine or pharmaceutical manufacturing in this life, but Wei Jiabai's heart disease also gave him inspiration. When the disease is declared medically incurable, there is another way besides transplanting a matching heart.
In the previous life, the research in this area has made great progress. Yuan Jing has paid close attention to the developments in this area, but it is just missing the finishing touch. In this life, perhaps it can be achieved earlier and save the lives of many patients.
The next day, Qiao's mother took the initiative to urge Yuan Jing to contact Ms. Xia Mingfeng so that the two sides could meet. It would be easier sooner than later.
So at noon that day, they met in a private room of a restaurant. Xia Mingfeng went there early to wait. When she saw Yuan Jing walk in with a very simple middle-aged couple, she stood up excitedly.
"You are Brother Qiao and Sister-in-law Qiao. I am Xia Mingfeng, you can call me Sister Xia." These are the couple who have raised her son for more than ten years. Xia Mingfeng put herself in a low position from the beginning. She was very grateful to this couple, because when she met Qiao Yuanjing, she knew that the couple had raised her child very well.
Seeing Xia Mingfeng, Qiao's father and mother did feel a little ashamed, but looking at Yuan Jing who did not leave their side, they subconsciously straightened their chests. Qiao's mother said first: "Xia sister, hello, we just found out about this last night. You have worked hard all these years."
Xia Mingfeng almost burst into tears, shook her head and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's you who are hard-working. It's not easy to raise a child."
"Raising a child is not easy, but our Xiaojing has been sensible since he was young. He is much easier to take care of than other children. We don't have to worry about anything." Mother Qiao praised her son again.
"Really? Can Sister Qiao tell me about Xiao Jing?"
"Of course."
So the two women left the two men behind, holding hands and asking each other questions, talking very warmly. Yuan Jing and Qiao's father looked at each other in amazement, thinking, what was the matter with them?
When the waiter knocked on the door and asked when the food would be served, the two women stopped talking and quickly ordered the food. They could not eat, but they just had to not let their son starve. This was their common wish.
The dishes were served and they ate quietly for a while. Then Mother Qiao took the initiative to bring up what happened back then. Together with Father Qiao, she described the situation in detail to Xia Mingfeng. When Xia Mingfeng heard that it was Father Qiao who found Yuan Jing in the mountains, she almost broke the chopsticks in her hand.
She had suspected it before, and this time she was sure again that someone had deliberately harmed her child. Who was it? Who was it? How could someone be so cruel to a child? How could he come to her and Jiang Hong?
At the same time, she was extremely grateful to the Qiao couple. Without this couple, she might never have found her son in her life.
Xia Mingfeng did not hide anything from the Qiao couple and told them what she had found out about the nanny Wang Zhaodi and her suspicions about her. The Qiao couple were shocked to hear this. This nanny was indeed very suspicious. Moreover, Wang Zhaodi's hometown was in the same city as theirs. There couldn't be so many coincidences in the world.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I don't want to let any suspicious person go. If she did it, it would be a crime of human trafficking."
"Xia sister, what do you want to do?" Qiao's mother and Xia Mingfeng shared the same hatred for Kai. "After so many years, will the police still care?"
"Yes, the police will definitely take care of it as long as they find evidence."
"Okay, we'll listen to you, Sister Xia. If anyone dares to harm our Xiaojing, I will definitely make her face the lawsuit!" Mother Qiao said gritting her teeth. Even though their son was raised to be fair and tender by them and her father, neither she nor Father Qiao could forget how he looked when they first brought him home. He even stayed in the hospital for several days.
"Xiaojing, what do you think?" Xia Mingfeng asked Yuan Jing for his opinion.
Yuan Jing smiled and said, "I have no objection, but if it was really the nanny who did it, who directed her to do it? Will it alert the enemy if the matter is exposed now?"
"Don't worry, unless someone is keeping an eye on Wang Zhaodi every day, with me here, the news won't reach the capital so quickly." Xia Mingfeng said confidently.
"That's good. I also want to know who did it."
"Well, I will definitely give Xiaojing an explanation." Xia Mingfeng knew that if the matter was not investigated thoroughly, Yuan Jing would always have a grudge against the Jiang family and returning to the Jiang family. Besides, she couldn't let Xiaojing go back into danger. Before that, the danger must be cleared first.
Although she complained about the attitude of the two elders of the Jiang family and had a quarrel with her husband because of the child, she did not think of not letting Yuan Jing return to the Jiang family. Why? Her son was the only one of the third generation of the Jiang family. The Jiang family owed Xiao Jing for more than ten years. In the future, they should use the resources of the Jiang family to pave the way for Xiao Jing. Everything she had in her hands would be left to Xiao Jing in the future.
In the past, she had limited energy to invest in her business in order to find her son. Now that her son has been found, she will focus on developing her career and leave the best for Xiaojing to make up for the debt she owed him for more than ten years. It was her mother who failed to protect him and left him stranded outside.
Although she was reluctant, Xia Mingfeng still said goodbye to the Qiao couple. The two sides exchanged contact information, and she was going to deal with Wang Zhaodi's affairs.
Before leaving, Yuan Jing took the initiative to hug his mother who was badly injured but now acted like a fighter. Xia Mingfeng's eyes immediately turned red. This was the first time her son took the initiative to approach her. Xiao Jing must have accepted her as his biological mother.
"I'm going to do some work. You stay with Brother Qiao and his wife. I'll call you if I have any news."
"Okay, take care of yourself too, your health is important."
"Okay, okay." Xia Mingfeng quickly let go of her hand and left. If she didn't leave, she would cry on the spot.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao sighed, and walked up to hug their son. They could see that Xia Mingfeng was also a poor mother, and they were kind-hearted and could not bear to see Yuan Jing separated from her and his son.
As soon as Xia Mingfeng left, Zhou Hengjun came to Qiao's house. Yuan Jing no longer went to his house, but it was the same when he came to Qiao's house.
Yuan Jing did not hide anything from him and told him what Xia Mingfeng was going to do. Zhou Hengjun was so angry that he cursed, asking how there could be such a vicious woman.
"My uncle will help, right? No, I have to call my uncle."
Yuan Jing stopped him and said, "I think Uncle Yao already knows it now. Ms. Xia is a smart person. It's impossible that she won't take advantage of the situation."
Zhou Hengjun was worried, so he ran to the balcony and called Yao Qiongming. Yao Qiongming didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he understood what his nephew meant. It was rare for him to take the initiative to call him, and it was for someone else's business. However, Qiao Yuanjing was no exception: "Don't worry, your Aunt Xia told me about this, I'll keep an eye on it."
Zhou Hengjun felt relieved when he heard what the little fox said.
***
Wang Zhaodi's life was both happy and unhappy. To put it in a happy way, she brought back money and built a house to pay for her husband's leg treatment. The villagers were very envious of her, and even her family members came to visit her. Her sister-in-law, who had always disliked her, actually smiled and said nice things to her. Wang Zhaodi was very proud of it.
But Wang Zhaodi is still the same Wang Zhaodi even though she has money. After more than ten years, no matter how much money she has, it will all be gone. Especially since she has two sons. Her sons are going to start their own families one after another, and they need money for houses and gifts. When the eldest daughter-in-law is married, the younger daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family wants to compare with the eldest daughter-in-law in every way. If she is slightly inferior, not only will the future daughter-in-law disagree, but even the younger son will have opinions, thinking that she is biased as a mother.
Wang Zhaodi felt very unhappy and thought about what happened in the past. It would be great if she had another chance to make a fortune. Occasionally, she had the idea of going back to the capital to find that man, but she immediately gave up the idea. She knew that a big shot like that was not something a country woman like her could afford to offend. Now that she had a grandson, she valued her life even more than she did then.
After another quarrel with her youngest son, Wang Zhaodi was sitting in the room angrily, and her eldest daughter-in-law was also staring at the money in her hand. At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Is this Wang Zhaodi's home? Is Wang Zhaodi home?"
"You're here. Who's there?" Wang Zhaodi responded impatiently, patted her clothes, went out and opened the door. This three-story house with a large yard was built that year. After it was built, who in the village would not be envious?
When she opened the door, she saw policemen in uniform and wearing trench caps outside. Wang Zhaodi subconsciously wanted to close the door again to block the people outside, but one of the policemen held the door open and she couldn't close it.
The police appeared in their village, attracting many villagers to come and watch.
Ever since what happened, Wang Zhaodi was a little scared of people wearing this uniform, so she made such a subconscious move. She told herself that it was more than ten years ago, so it was impossible for anyone to find out. She tried to calm down and put on a smile: "I am Wang Zhaodi, what do you want from me?"
"Then we have found the right person. Please come with us. There was a child abduction case fifteen years ago and we need your assistance in investigating, Wang Zhaodi. Let's go." The policeman said impartially.
Wang Zhaodi's legs suddenly went weak: "I don't know anything. Why are you looking for me? I won't go."
The neighbors outside started to discuss: "Fifteen years ago? Didn't Wang Zhaodi just come back then? She was working as a nanny and taking care of children in the capital at that time, right? Could the child be lost?"
"Wang Zhaodi was very rich when she came back from the capital. How could she earn so much money by babysitting a child?"
"Could it be that the child was kidnapped? I haven't heard Wang Zhaodi say that."
"She looked guilty and weak, maybe she did something against her conscience and made ill-gotten gains."
As the informant said, Wang Zhaodi had ill-gotten gains fifteen years ago, which was very suspicious. Seeing that Wang Zhaodi wanted to hide back in the yard, the police took a tough attitude and went forward to arrest her: "Please cooperate with our investigation. If it is confirmed that it has nothing to do with Wang Zhaodi, we will send you back."
"Oh, I won't go!"
But in the end, Wang Zhaodi was still taken away. After the police car left the village, the village became lively. People from every household came out to talk about this incident. The man Wang Zhaodi married was named Tian. The Tian family was found by the villagers and told about this incident. They were all terrified.
One villager deliberately asked them, "Wang Zhaodi didn't really do anything shameless to get so much money, did she? When we asked her how she got rich, she was always mysterious and refused to tell us. It turns out that she couldn't keep it secret."
"Get lost! Didn't the police say they would assist in the investigation? My wife might be back soon."
The villagers left with laughter and went to another place to continue chatting. The Tian family closed the door and discussed for a while before going out to ask someone to help.
Apart from working as a nanny in the capital for less than a year, Wang Zhaodi had never seen much of the world and had no scheming. When she was frightened by the police, she told them everything that happened that year.
"I didn't do it on my own accord. Someone paid me to do it. Go and arrest her. I was forced to do it!"
