Zhan Jinhua had almost found out everything about Xing Jiaqi's family, and the next day she started to stake out the neighborhood where Xing Zhiqiang and his wife lived.
Her impression of Xing Jiaqi still remained at the age of fifteen, the year she was arrested. Although girls often change as they grow up, their appearance shouldn't change much.
She heard from people in the neighborhood that although Xing Jiaqi wasn't particularly good-looking, she was fashionable and had a good sense of fashion. She also had a tall figure and looked good in clothes.
In Zhan Jinhua's memory, this little daughter was already over 1.6 meters tall when she was fifteen years old. She was very slim and had a slender body. She should have inherited Qian Jindou's figure. Although she was not beautiful, she was acceptable. Anyway, she looked better than the Zhan family members. However, she looked very different from her twin sister Qian Niandi. The doctor said at the time that they were fraternal twins, so it was normal for them to look different.
Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao were waiting for Xing Jiaqi downstairs of Xing's house. In the evening, when Xing Jiaqi went to Xing's house to pick up her child after get off work, Zhan Jinhua recognized her at a glance.
Xing Jiaqi parked her car downstairs of her adoptive parents' house, put on exquisite makeup, wore a very fashionable outfit, and wore a pair of high heels. She entered the unit door and took the elevator to go upstairs.
Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao were still waiting downstairs. She planned to follow Xing Jiaqi for two days, find out her home address and workplace, and then consider meeting her.
Zhan Jinhua also remembered someone she could contact: Zhan Tiehua's ex-husband, Qin Xingzhou. However, finding him would be a matter of luck. She wasn't sure if Qin Xingzhou was still in Jiangyuan City, whether he still owned the delicatessen, whether it had changed its name, or where it was located.
If she were to find Qin Xingzhou, she would definitely extort a large sum of money from him.
But the most urgent task now is to tie himself up with Xing Jiaqi first.
Xing Jiaqi owns a car and dresses stylishly. Following her, she discovered she lives in a very nice residential complex, a high-rise apartment with an elevator, a new addition to Zhan Jinhua's portfolio. Zhan Jinhua considers this a high-end residence. These conditions suggest Xing Jiaqi's current standard of living is quite good.
Thinking this way, Zhan Jinhua felt a little better. Furthermore, she had heard that Xing Jiaqi worked in finance, dealing with money, so there was plenty of room for maneuver. She had to make good use of Xing Jiaqi's job and maximize its value.
A few days later, Zhan Jinhua and Xing Jiaqi had their first face-to-face contact.
It was a sunny afternoon. Xing Jiaqi and her colleagues were returning to the office after lunch, but were stopped by Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao.
Xing Jiaqi looked at the mother and son blocking her way and asked unhappily, "Who are you and what do you want from me?"
Zhan Jinhua winked and tried to squeeze out a few pitiful tears while saying sentimentally: "My daughter, I finally found you..."
Sun Xiaohao also responded: "Sister, I am your biological brother. Mom has been looking for you for many years..."
Xing Jiaqi was confused, frowned, and said impatiently: "You recognized the wrong person..."
She was about to take two steps to the side, bypassing Zhan Jinhua and her son, when Zhan Jinhua grabbed her arm and said, "Jiaqi, if you don't believe me, you can do a paternity test with me. I really am your biological mother."
When I gave birth to you and your sister, you were twins. The doctor said only one survived. Later, your father and I heard that you weren't dead, but had been sold out by the doctor who delivered you. We finally heard about you recently..."
Zhan Jinhua confused right and wrong and made herself the victim, while Xing Zhiqiang and his wife, who had adopted Xing Jiaqi, became the buyers.
Xing Jiaqi never knew that she was not her parents' biological child. For so many years, they treated her as their own and had no estrangement from her. However, there was one thing that made Xing Jiaqi very dissatisfied with her adoptive parents.
That is, her brother is about to graduate from graduate school and has already started talking about marriage. Since he is going to get married, the family has to prepare a wedding house, prepare gifts and wedding ceremonies, which is a considerable expense, at least hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Xing Jiaqi had been married for seven years, back in 2006. Her family had given her 100,000 yuan as a dowry, and her adoptive parents had prepared the usual dowry for other girls. Her in-laws had given her 30,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, which her adoptive parents had let her keep.
It can be said that her dowry was very impressive back then. Not to mention that many families would not give their daughters such a large amount of money as a dowry, it was rare to find a family that could afford 100,000 yuan in this era.
There is a six-year age difference between her and her brother. Her adoptive parents thought that their son was still young, so they prioritized Xing Jiaqi first.
But now that my son was getting married, preparing a wedding house was essential. Since my family couldn't come up with the full payment right away, we agreed to give him a 300,000 yuan down payment, with the couple repaying the loan themselves. We also prepared a betrothal gift of 88,000 yuan.
Xing Jiaqi feels her adoptive parents are partial to her son and has been at odds with them lately. Although she sends her child to the elderly care system as usual, she's never friendly toward them. She's demanding they make up for the extra money given to her younger brother.
Xing Zhiqiang and his wife had worked diligently over the years, even setting up a street stall to supplement their income when they had some free time. Raising two children wasn't easy for them; their schooling was a significant expense, and planning their weddings had already drained their savings, leaving them with no extra money to give to Xing Jiaqi.
As a result, Xing Jiaqi set her sights on the house where the old couple lived, but she hasn't made it clear yet.
Xing Zhiqiang and his wife originally thought that after their son graduated and got married, they would enjoy a peaceful life, but they never expected to encounter such a bad thing.
Although the couple invested more in their son's marriage, isn't it the same for every family with both sons and daughters?
Apart from this incident, the old couple felt that they had a clear conscience towards Xing Jiaqi and that they had basically been able to treat her equally.
Their son, Xing Jiayuan, has always been very kind to his sister, always sharing any delicious food with her. He worked part-time during college and graduate school, and often bought food, clothing, and other daily necessities for his nephew. On the other hand, Xing Jiaqi, the older sister, has never bought anything for her brother in all the years since she graduated and started working.
The Xing family's elderly couple sometimes thought about these things and felt a little heartbroken, but they never told Xing Jiaqi that she was not their biological child, but adopted. Words like that could never be taken back, and they couldn't bear to push away the child they had raised with so much effort.
Now that someone told Xing Jiaqi that she was her biological mother, she naturally couldn't believe it easily. Besides, the two people in front of her were dressed in slovenly clothes and looked ugly. How could they be her family?
