That same day, Song Lan brought Wu Youyou back to the Wu family home. As soon as they entered, Wu Zhenyuan bombarded Wu Youyou with questions, wanting to know the progress of her relationship with Shi Zhan.
Song Lan was somewhat dissatisfied with Wu Zhenyuan's behavior, so she reprimanded him.
"The child just came back, and you didn't even ask how her arm injury was? You just kept asking her all sorts of irrelevant questions."
Wu Zhenyuan then noticed Wu Youyou's arm, which was bandaged, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Youyou, how's the injury on your arm?"
Wu Youyou seemed to harbor a slight aversion to Wu Zhenyuan's concern; her expression didn't brighten much despite his gesture.
"Dad, I'm fine. How could I trouble you with such a small injury!"
After Wu Youyou finished speaking, she walked around Wu Zhenyuan's body and returned to her room.
Wu Zhenyuan's face turned ashen with anger.
"This is outrageous! How dare they speak to their elders like that!"
Song Lan retorted to Wu Zhenyuan,
"You know how much our Youyou has suffered lately, so why are you saying such things about her!"
Wu Zhenyuan stared at the closed door, furious, but Song Lan's reproachful gaze only made him more upset, so he could only reply timidly.
"What do you know, you're just a woman? I'm asking about important matters concerning the children!"
At this moment, He Qiangwei happily came downstairs, looked at Wu Zhenyuan, and spoke with incredibly sweet words.
"Dad, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Upon hearing He Qiangwei's voice, Wu Zhenyuan's initial anger subsided considerably. He stopped arguing with Song Lan and instead smiled at He Qiangwei.
"Rose, you've come at the perfect time! The date of your engagement with Wei Zhibin has already been announced online. It's next Sunday!"
He Qiangwei had actually seen the engagement date announced online long ago, which is why she was in such a good mood.
"Dad, I saw it all. My college entrance exam results will be out by then, and it will definitely be a double celebration!"
Wu Zhenyuan was delighted to hear this, and Song Lan beside him looked on with envy.
"That's wonderful, Rose, you're such a thoughtful and good child."
Not only did she help Youyou get married in her place, but she also excelled in her studies. The more Song Lan looked at He Qiangwei, the more she liked her.
He Qiangwei was certainly aware of Song Lan's attitude towards her, and she responded politely,
"Dad, Auntie, please stop arguing and don't blame Youyou. Not only is her arm injured, but she also didn't do well on the college entrance exam. She must be feeling terrible right now. You should be more understanding of her!"
Song Lan thought He Qiangwei's words made sense. Although she did not ask about Youyou's college entrance examination results, she heard that many students cried when they walked out of the examination room this year, so she thought that Wu Youyou must have done very poorly, after all, her grades were usually not good.
When Song Lan learned that her daughter was hospitalized again, she had only one thought in her mind: as long as Youyou was healthy, it didn't matter whether she got into university or not. After all, the most important thing for a girl is a happy marriage and good health.
Wu Zhenyuan looked at He Qiangwei with satisfaction, feeling quite pleased.
"Our Qiangwei is so sensible and articulate. She always considers other people's feelings. She's such a good and considerate child."
After saying that, he reached out and patted He Qiangwei's head a few times, then continued,
"Rose, the college entrance exam is so difficult, are you confident you can get into Peking University?"
"Of course! The exam is very difficult, but I'm determined to get into Peking University. Dad, just wait for the good news!"
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Wu Zhenyuan's hearty laughter pierced through Wu Youyou's door and reached her ears, making her feel nauseous.
Wu Youyou took out her phone, just about to call Lao Huo, when she saw a new message from her.
[Worried, the college entrance exam is over, and tonight there's been a deluge of news reports about He Qiangwei. How should I deal with this?]
Wu Youyou looked at the message, pondered for a moment, and then began to reply.
Two things: I need two DNA comparison reports for He Qiangwei, one to confirm she is not my daughter in a paternity test with my father, and the other to confirm she is the daughter of the fishmonger, Du Lixian. Please get these two reports for me quickly.
The other end of the phone replied very quickly.
Okay, no problem. What's the second thing?
Wu Youyou leaned back in her chair, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Please provide me with evidence of how she and that Teacher Wang communicated to frame me.
Old Huo quickly replied that there was no problem, then paused for a long time before sending another message.
[There's another thing: Han Shuzhen has been kidnapped!]
Upon seeing this news, Wu Youyou tensed up instantly, her heart filled with worry.
Is it the Xiao family?
Old Huo simply sent a nodding emoji, and Wu Youyou immediately dialed Shi Zhan's number.
"Hey—Shi Zhan, I need your help?"
Shi Zhan had already returned to Kyoto with Song Shaojie and was currently having tea in the Song family's living room. Hearing Wu Youyou's somewhat serious tone, his brows furrowed slightly.
"What is it?"
"Han Shuzhen has been kidnapped by the Xiao family. Do you have any way to get her out?"
Shi Zhan frowned slightly. The Xiao family?
The Xiao family was a relationship he didn't want to get involved with, but since Wu Youyou needed his help, he naturally had to assist her.
"Youyou, stay home and recover. I'll take care of this!"
When Wu Youyou heard that Shi Zhan agreed so readily, she finally felt relieved. With Shi Zhan's help, she believed that Han Shuzhen could definitely be rescued.
