With tears in her eyes, she ran over and sat down directly opposite Chu Nian, calling out, "Chu Mei, is that you?"
Chu Nian was completely dumbfounded.
Chu Lan continued, her voice trembling with emotion and tears welling in her eyes, "I never thought we sisters would meet again. It's so wonderful! I... I've been looking for you everywhere..." She choked up and couldn't continue.
Chu Nian is starting to understand: Chu Lan must have an oviparous sister named Chu Mei. She mistook herself for Chu Mei because she looks just like Chu Lan.
Chu Nian admitted, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the Chu Mei you're talking about."
Chu Lan said, "No, think carefully, and look at my face, which is exactly the same as yours. You were already eight years old when you got lost, so you should have some memories. Your surname is Chu, and you have a twin sister who plays with you all the time. Think about it!"
Chu Nian had no choice but to say again, "You've really mistaken me for someone else."
The proprietress then came over as well.
Chu Nian finally remembered why the proprietress looked familiar. She was Zhou Cong's high school classmate, and she was in the class photo. She was Chu Lan's best friend, and if she remembered correctly, her name was Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao was also excited, but her expression was mostly joyful. She smiled and said, "This is wonderful! It's a blessing from heaven that you sisters have reunited at this time. Chu Mei, do you know that Chu Lan's daughter suddenly developed acute leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant, but they haven't found a match yet..."
“You’ve really mistaken me for someone else,” Chu Nian interrupted her. “Also, even if I am the Chu Mei you’re talking about, and a sister to this Ms. Chu Lan, her bone marrow couldn’t be a match. I should be genetically similar to her, so it’s impossible for us to be a match.”
It's not that she doesn't want to be a match; it's that she simply doesn't have human genes. If those hospital machines were to scan her and find she's just a pile of metal, what a disaster that would be!
Zhang Yao stared at Chu Nian and murmured, "But why don't you go and check to see if it's a good match, giving the child a glimmer of hope?"
Chu Nian smiled faintly, "Donating bone marrow should be voluntary, and the child's hopes shouldn't be placed on a complete stranger like me!"
Zhang Yao: "How can you be like this? You..."
"Alright, Yao Yao." Chu Lan interrupted her. "She's right. I will do everything in my power to save my child. I won't put my hopes on others." After saying that, she looked at Chu Nian, tears falling down her face, and said, "If you don't believe what I'm saying, I... we can do a paternity test. We really are oviparous sisters."
Chu Nian said helplessly, "You've really mistaken me for someone else." She wasn't going to the hospital.
Zhang Yao said, "You two are sitting right across the table. Anyone can see that you look alike. Besides being oviparous sisters, what other possibility is there?"
Chu Nian said seriously, "Yes."
Zhang Yao asked, "Then tell me, what's possible?"
Chu Nian chuckled coolly, "Maybe I'm not human, I've just taken this person's form!"
Zhang Yao chuckled, but quickly suppressed her laughter, putting on a serious face and saying, "Your joke isn't funny at all."
Chu Nian: "Think what you want!" She stood up and sneered, then said to Zhang Yao, "I'm very unhappy that you disturbed my meal, so I won't pay for it."
"What, you're going to dine and dash again?" Zhang Yao snapped. "Let me tell you, I have connections in the underworld."
Chu Nian said, "I'm a ghost. You can try to get your gangsters to catch me!" With that, she floated out of the restaurant with a grin.
Zhang Yao turned pale with fright and broke out in a cold sweat.
Chu Lan shook her, waking her from her fright, and said with a hint of helplessness, "She was wearing ice skates, but because her pants were long enough to cover them, you couldn't see them."
Zhang Yao gasped and said angrily, "So she's trying to scare me!"
Chu Lan sighed and said, "No matter what, my sister who was lost for many years has finally been found. It's understandable that she doesn't want to recognize me when she sees me for the first time."
Zhang Yao: "It's only because you have such a good temper and personality. If it were me, I would have..."
Chu Lan said, "What did you do a long time ago?"
Zhang Yao scratched the back of her head helplessly and chuckled dryly, "To be honest, if I were in that situation, I wouldn't know what to do either. I'd probably just take it one step at a time like you!" She paused, then added, "But I still think we should ask her to do an apology test. What if she really is a match for Xin Xin?"
When the topic came up, Chu Lan said with some sadness, "Never mind, if they don't want to, we can't force them."
Zhang Yao quickly said, "I didn't mean to force her, I meant to beg her. How do you know she'll still refuse you like this after you beg her!"
Chu Lan: "But she's already gone."
Zhang Yao laughed and said, "It's nothing. After I called you, I notified one of my buddies and asked him to keep an eye on things."
As soon as she said that, her phone rang. When she answered, it was the guy she was keeping an eye on, who said, "Sister Zhang, the woman you asked me to keep an eye on is pretty good. She ditched me."
"Huh?" Zhang Yao was a little shocked. "Didn't you say you had training in this area? And what about a private investigator? So you've been fooling me all along!"
The other person said, "Sister Zhang, I'm serious. This woman you're keeping an eye on isn't an ordinary person. I advise you, whatever your purpose, to give up the idea of keeping an eye on her!"
Because of the leaky receiver, Chu Lan heard these words as well, and said, "Forget it, Zhang Yao, stop staring at her. I also think she..." She paused for a moment, "...is very special."
Zhang Yao: "What's so special about it?"
Chu Lan: "I have a feeling I can't quite describe, like this person is completely different from us. Do you think what she said might be true?"
Zhang Yao: "You mean, she really is a ghost?"
Chu Lan: "Didn't she say before that she wasn't human, but just took on this person's appearance?"
Zhang Yao: "So, you think she really is a ghost?"
Chu Lan: ...Why did this person get caught up in a ghostly entanglement?
After thinking for a moment, she said, "I don't know if she's a ghost or not, but I just feel like she's different from us."
After leaving Zhang Yao's restaurant, Chu Lan went to the hospital to visit her daughter, Hu Xin.
Hu Xin was already asleep, but the IV drip wasn't finished. Because of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the child, not even ten years old, already looked extremely haggard.
It was already very late, almost midnight, and most of the medical staff, patients, and caregivers in the hospital were already asleep.
