Chapter 78 A daughter is flesh of her mother's flesh.
Xie Siyan heard Lin Wan's words.
There was a moment of stunned silence.
He gazed at Lin Wan's slightly pale face through the sunlight.
They even thought it was because their mother missed her younger sister too much.
And thus, hallucinations occurred.
It wasn't that he didn't trust his mother.
But it happened after his sister went missing.
Because of her excessive longing for her daughter, the mother often mistook girls who were about the same age as Yao Yao for her own daughter.
Therefore, some people who coveted the Xie family's wealth found out.
They approached him and said they were the person they were looking for, Yao Yao.
However, the results of each paternity test were invariably disappointing.
"Mom, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Xie Siyan said after calming down.
“Children are flesh and blood of their mothers. How could I mistake my own child when she appeared in front of me?” Lin Wan’s eyes were red as she clutched Xie Siyan’s sleeve as if grasping at a straw: “Siyan, I really did see Yaoyao just now.”
Xie Siyan quickly comforted his mother.
"Mom, you can't rush things, please calm down first."
Lin Wan coughed twice, covering her mouth, her chest heaving violently.
Her voice was weak, almost pleading, "Siyan, please find a way to help Mom find that girl from earlier, okay?"
Seeing his mother like this, Xie Siyan felt a sharp pain in his heart: "Mom, I'll take you to find her right away."

Monitoring room.
The monitoring equipment operates continuously, emitting a low humming sound.
The security guard sat in front of the display screen.
My eyes were glued to every frame on the screen.
"Dr. Xie, what are the characteristics of the girl you mentioned?"
Lin Wan sat on a chair to the side, her fingers gripping the shoulder strap of her handbag tightly.
Her health was already poor due to worry, and the recent long journey back to China caused her to fall ill as soon as she got off the plane.
She coughed occasionally, her face pale and sickly.
"The girl was wearing a loose white trench coat and a beret."
Xie Siyan patted his mother's shoulder: "Mom, speak slowly, don't rush."
Lin Wan nodded.
Because the physical characteristics described by Lin Wan are easy to identify.
Almost instantly.
The security guard pulled up the image of Su Niannian among the many pedestrians and zoomed in.
Lin Wan suddenly opened her eyes wide, her pupils contracting involuntarily. She excitedly pointed to the girl's back on the screen.
Just one glance.
She immediately recognized her as the girl she had just been pursuing.
It's her disappearance...
“It’s this girl…” Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
At the same time.
And Xie Siyan was standing to the side.
He seemed surprised that the girl his mother was looking for was Miss Su, whom he had met not long ago.
His gaze fell on Gu Yuheng, who was standing next to Su Niannian.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Mom, are you sure this is the Miss Su you're looking for?"
Under Xie Siyan's astonished gaze, Lin Wan's weathered eyes furrowed slightly: "Siyan, do you know this girl?"
Xie Siyan turned his head and pointed at the man next to Su Niannian.
"Mom, take a closer look. Who is this person next to Miss Su?"
His mother had watched Gu Yuheng grow up since he was a child. They used to get into trouble together in kindergarten. Gu Yuheng didn't dare to tell his parents, so every time, Lin's mother would go to the kindergarten and redeem them from the teachers.
How can there be such a big, living person?
My mother completely ignored me.
If the mother had recognized Gu Yuheng just now.
There's no need to go through such a long and complicated process.
Lin Wan looked in the direction he pointed.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Is this Yuheng? How come I didn't notice this child just now?"
Her attention was completely focused on that girl.
So much so that she overlooked Gu Yuheng beside her.
“Yes,” Xie Siyan paused for a moment and said, “This Miss Su is Yu Heng’s wife.”

The Xie family's old residence maintains the consistent style of a traditional Chinese courtyard house, with winding paths, secluded pavilions, and fragrant flowers filling the courtyard.
To commemorate his beloved wife, Mr. Xie planted agave, which was his wife's favorite plant, all over the backyard.
In the bedroom.
"Wan'er, take your medicine." A gentle-looking middle-aged man said softly, holding a water glass.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan looked up at her husband.
However, after going out, she started to feel unwell again, and her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
"I don't want to eat anymore."
Xie Yuan has a gentle and refined temperament, a handsome appearance, and gives people the impression of having a very good temper.
He sat down next to Lin Wan and patiently persuaded her, "Yaoyao's mother, how can you get better if you don't take your medicine? Aren't you waiting for our daughter to come back? Then you have to take your medicine obediently, okay?"
A single, distant mother.
Lin Wan's tears streamed down her face.
She controlled her emotions the whole way.
At this moment, it could no longer be suppressed and poured out like a flood bursting its banks.
She threw herself into Xie Yuan's arms, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Husband, this girl really is my Yao Yao. A mother's intuition is never wrong. Even though she's all grown up now, I can still see my daughter lying in my arms, smiling and giggling at me, through her current appearance..."
Xie Yuan closed his eyes.
He was his wife's only support.
He couldn't show his vulnerability to his wife.
Otherwise, she would lose her backbone.
When I opened my eyes again, I had already composed myself and concealed all the emotions in them.
He said gently, "Wan'er, I believe it. I have always believed that our daughter is alive. Didn't you say that you dreamed of Yaoyao, which is why you insisted on returning to China? I think it must be that Heaven is watching over us and guiding us to find Yaoyao."
Lin Wan nodded with tears in her eyes: "Husband, thank you for always believing in me."
Xie Yuan took the shawl handed to him by the servant, sat up straight, and gently draped it over his wife's shoulders.
"If Wan'er wants to thank me, she should take her medicine as instructed." He looked at his wife with concern, "Okay?"
With his reassurance, Lin Wan's emotions stabilized.
As long as Yaoyao can come back.
She'll do anything you ask.
She reached for the medicine box, poured the bitter pills into her palm, mixed them with water, and swallowed them.
Xie Yuan watched as she drank the medicine in one gulp.
Only then did I feel relieved.
----
Xie Yuan came out of the bedroom.
An elderly man was already seated on the sofa in the living room.
The old man was about eighty years old, with gray hair, but he was in good spirits.
They saw Xie Yuan come down.
The voice, booming like a bell, spoke.
"Second brother, I heard that your daughter-in-law has found my granddaughter Yaoyao? Why didn't you tell me to come back immediately? Why did you make me listen to that kid Siyan?"
Xie Yuan glanced at Xie Siyan.
Xie Siyan said she was innocent.
Tell him with your eyes.
You know Grandpa's temper.
“Dad, it’s not confirmed yet.” Xie Yuan said, “As you know, Awan has mistaken Yaoyao before. Intuition alone is not accurate.”
Xie Zhongguo gripped his cane with both hands and sighed deeply.
"I wonder where my eldest granddaughter is suffering."
He raised his head, glared at them, and said, "Aren't you going to look anymore? Ah! You brats, not one of you is any good."
His boss's temper flared up again.
