"Lizhi." Yu's father called Yu Lizhi, "Come with me to the study."
"Yeah." Yu Lizhi responded and followed him upstairs.
Seeing this, Yu Haitang rolled her shrewd eyes and walked over quickly.
In the study, Yu's father sat at the desk and was silent for a moment before he asked her in a heavy voice: "Lizhi, do you want to find your biological parents?"
Yu Lizhi was stunned: "Dad, why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Dad just doesn't want to be so selfish." Yu's father sighed, "We almost exhausted all our energy to find your sister. I'm afraid your biological parents are also like us in their efforts to find you. I'm afraid they are going crazy with anxiety."
"Dad." Yu Lizhi said sullenly, "I think I'm fine now. I've forgotten all my past memories. I don't even know if I was abandoned..."
"Lizhi, when you were brought to the Yu family, you were only three years old. You were dressed like a little princess, fair and tender like a doll. Everyone who saw you couldn't help but love you. How could your parents bear to abandon such a beautiful child like you?" Yu's father said earnestly.
"So...if you want to find your biological parents, dad is willing to help you find them."
"But..." Yu Lizhi hesitated. Her parents were very good to her, and she was afraid that she would have to leave the Yu family after finding her biological parents.
"Dad understands your concerns." Sensing her thoughts, Yu's father comforted her, "Even if you find your biological parents in the future, you can come back often. This is still your home."
"Dad." Yu Lizhi's eyes were wet.
"Okay. Let's not talk about this anymore." Yu's father changed the subject, opened the drawer of the desk, and said to Yu Lizhi, "Here are the photos of you taken when you first came to our house. I have never shown them to you. At the beginning, I was afraid of losing you and what you would think of after seeing them. Now I think about it, Dad was too selfish... You are grown up now and have the right to choose."
As he said that, he lowered his head and began to search, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
Yu's father scratched his head in confusion: "Huh? Where's the photo? I remember putting it here..."
"Dad, I'll find it for you." Seeing this, Yu Lizhi walked over to help him.
"Okay." Yu's father responded, and said helplessly, "I'm old now, and my memory is not good. I don't know where I put it."
Yu Lizhi rummaged in the drawer for a while and accidentally knocked over a photo frame, which fell to the ground with a bang. She picked it up and took a look at it, and was stunned.
This is a photo of Yu Haitang when she was five years old.
This... isn't this exactly the same as the photo of Chuxia's room?
Although she had seen it as a child, she was only about ten years old at the time, so after so many years, her memory was a little fuzzy.
Now that I see it again, I realize that it is exactly the same as when Sheng Chuxia was a child.
The only difference is that in the photo of Chuxia, she is already eight years old and a little older, but her facial features are almost exactly the same, with not much change at all.
Yu Lizhi's head was buzzing and her hand holding the photo frame was shaking a little.
Could it be... Could it be that Yu Haitang is not her parents’ biological daughter at all?
Is it an imposter? Or did you find the wrong one?
"Lizhi, what's wrong?" Yu's father noticed that something was wrong with her and asked in confusion.
"Dad." Yu Lizhi took a deep breath and calmed down. She handed the photo frame to him, pointed at the photo on it, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this... is this Yu Haitang when he was a child?"
Father Yu was startled, followed her line of sight, looked at the photo, and nodded: "Yes. This was taken when your sister was five years old, the year she went missing."
"Dad, are you sure?" Yu Lizhi grabbed Yu's father's arm, a little excited.
"Lizhi, what's wrong with you?" Yu's father asked in astonishment, "No matter how old and confused I am, it's impossible that I don't even recognize your sister, right? This is of course a photo of her when she was a child."
"...Dad, I get it." Yu Lizhi also realized that she had overreacted. She was afraid that her father would notice her abnormality, so she tried to stay calm.
It seems that I can’t tell anyone about this for the time being, especially Yu Haitang.
And she didn't want to make her dad worry.
If Chu Xia was her parents' biological daughter, she would find a way to get rid of Yu Haitang, the fake one, as soon as possible.
"Lizhi, what's wrong with you?" Yu's father always felt that she suddenly became a little strange.
"Nothing... nothing." Yu Lizhi shook her head and forced a smile at him, "I just feel that time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, we have all grown up."
"Yes, Dad is old." Yu's father put away the photo frame and said with emotion, "Time is unforgiving..."
"Dad, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Please show me my childhood photos some other day..." Yu Lizhi was a person who could not keep secrets. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Yu's father would find out something and question her. So she said this and ran out in a hurry, bumping into Yu Haitang who was eavesdropping outside the door.
Yu Lizhi paused and looked at Yu Haitang with a strange look.
"Sister. Why are you glaring at me?" Yu Haitang got goosebumps all over her body and was a little annoyed.
"Yu Haitang. God is watching what you do, and you will definitely be punished." Yu Lizhi said faintly, then pushed her away, turned and left.
"You're crazy." Yu Haitang staggered and almost fell. She cursed at Yu Lizhi and went into the study to find Yu's father.
Yu's father was tidying up the messy drawer that had just been rummaged through. He took out all the things inside and sorted them out. Then he found a photo of Yu Lizhi when she was a child from a corner. He was about to show it to her, but saw that she had already run away. He shook his head and sighed: "This child...what happened? Why did she leave so suddenly?"
"Dad, what did you say to my sister just now?" Yu Haitang asked as soon as she came in.
When Yu's father saw her, he put the photo on the desk and answered her: "It's nothing. I just feel annoyed when I see you two sisters always quarreling. After all, you are not real sisters, so you can't get along well."
"Dad, since you knew that, why did you keep her in the Yu family?" Yu Haitang asked angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Yu's father gave her a reproachful look. "Although Lizhi is not my biological daughter, I have raised her for so many years, so I naturally have feelings for her."
"What about me? Don't you have any feelings for me?" Yu Haitang pointed at herself and said accusingly.
"What kind of question are you asking? You are our biological daughter, how could we not have feelings for you?" Yu's father scolded, but he didn't know why he could never get close to Yu Haitang.
Perhaps it was because she had never been with them since she was a child, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little unfamiliar with them.
Because she lacked love too much, she always liked to compete with Lizhi for her parents' affection after she came back, and over time a gap between her and them became established.
