Chapter 114 Choice
"Auntie, can we call you that?"
As soon as he sat down, Lin Yiwen was not so nervous at all. He looked at Lin Jin and asked tentatively.
She looked at Lin Jin greedily, and scanned her body carefully. Then she saw two Band-Aids on her face, and her heart suddenly tightened.
"What happened to your face?"
Shi Xu also asked: "Who bullied you?"
"It's okay, I just scratched it by accident." Lin Jin casually touched her face, "It's just a name, you can call me whatever you want."
The family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s good, at least it proves that my aunt has no objection to contact.
Lin Yiwen carefully chose her words: "Auntie, I haven't introduced myself to you yet. My name is Lin Yiwen, and I'm your biological mother. This is Shi Xu, your biological father. The ones next to you are your uncle, aunt, and cousin."
She introduced the people around her one by one, and every time she mentioned someone, the other person would greet Lin Jin with a very kind look.
Lin Jin scanned the faces of the people one by one until she saw Shi Yunshu's face. She suddenly felt that the face looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
She thought for a while but couldn't remember anything, so she glanced away and looked at Lin Yiwen again, "I'm sorry, I want to ask how you found me? Are you sure I'm your daughter? I didn't do a paternity test with you, could there be any mistake?"
"No, you are our child." Shi Heng coughed lightly and said embarrassedly, "Auntie, I want to apologize to you first. I didn't ask for your opinion and used improper means to obtain your DNA."
"Donate blood?" Lin Jin immediately thought of the blood collection vehicle a few days ago, "But what if I don't agree to donate blood?"
Shi Heng's voice became quieter. "You still have hair. I asked someone to pull out two of your hairs on the same day."
Lin Jin understood immediately, and remembered that not long ago when she was eating on the roadside, someone hooked her hair for no apparent reason. However, she did not think much about it at the time, and just thought that the other party was careless. It turned out that this was the reason behind it.
Lin Yiwen put the two inspection reports and the investigation results on the table and said sadly, "Jin Jin, we are sorry for you."
"When you were eight months old, Mom came to An City on a business trip. I wanted to finish everything as soon as possible and return to Beijing City to give birth, but an accident happened and I gave birth to you early."
"You were put in an incubator when you were born prematurely. We had no idea that you were switched. After you stayed in the hospital for two days, you went home with another child. That's why you stayed in the orphanage for eighteen years."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I had taken some responsibility for you, I wouldn't have come to Anshi on a business trip."
Lin Yiwen felt extremely guilty and wanted to kill himself after learning that his daughter grew up in an orphanage.
Over the past 18 years, she has donated to orphanages many times and has visited the orphans in person, so she naturally knows what kind of life these children live.
Now she suddenly found out that her biological daughter was growing up in an orphanage, which hurts her more than if her heart was cut out.
Shi Xu quickly hugged his wife and said, "No, auntie, this has nothing to do with your mother. If you want to blame someone, blame your father."
"If Dad had stayed with you all the time, you wouldn't have been replaced, and our family of three wouldn't have been separated for eighteen years."
He was the reason for all this. He had to come to Anshi to deal with the company's affairs, otherwise none of this would have happened.
The two started crying again as they talked. Lin Jin withdrew her gaze from the paternity test report and tore off two tissues and handed them to the two.
"You don't have to blame yourselves. After all, no one can predict what tomorrow will be like. Besides, I'm doing pretty well. I've grown up smoothly on my own."
Shi Su asked hurriedly: "Auntie, do you mean you are willing to go home with us?"
Lin Yiwen hurriedly wiped away her tears and looked at Lin Jin with tearful eyes.
Lian Shi Yunshu's family of three also looked at her with surprise.
Lin Jin paused and asked a question first: "Can I ask the other girl what to do? After all, she has also called you mom and dad for eighteen years."
"Another girl?"
Lin Yiwen and his wife were stunned. They never expected Lin Jin to ask this question.
The hesitation of the two people looked different in Lin Jin's eyes. She understood and was about to refuse when Shi Yunshu interrupted her.
"Auntie, didn't Teacher Yu tell you? The child who was taken away by mistake died on the third day after returning home."
This time it was Lin Jin's turn to be stunned, "Dead?"
"Yes, he's dead." Shi Suo responded immediately and said, "During our investigation, we learned that the child was a premature baby. He died on the third day after we returned to Beijing due to a sudden worsening of his condition."
"The doctor told us that the child died of organ failure. After we buried her, we have not raised any children in the past few years."
"If your cousin hadn't discovered by chance that you looked a lot like your mother, we would have no idea you were still alive."
What a coincidence, he died as soon as he got home?
For some reason, Lin Jin felt that the girl's death was not an accident, and she had the illusion that it was related to her.
According to the investigation results, she was replaced by someone else, but the other family did not take her home, but told others that she was buried in the mountains.
But according to the dean, she was picked up from the trash can. Based on the timeline, she was sure that she was replaced and thrown into the trash can on the day she was born.
That family favored boys over girls. Could she understand that they would just throw her away when they found her dead, and they were afraid of having to explain themselves when they returned, so they pretended to bury her in the mountains?
Otherwise, according to this kind of family, there is at least a 90% chance that she will be taken home to be used as a slave, or even sold for a dowry once she grows up.
This is not Lin Jin's conspiracy theory, but something that actually happened in the orphanage.
This is the case in the family of a child who is a few years older than her, but she is the biological child, and everyone in the family, from top to bottom, favors boys over girls.
Everyone in the family either beat or scolded her, and she had to do all the housework when she was only three or four years old.
The girl thought that this was her fate for the rest of her life, but one day her family ate poisonous mushrooms and all died. She escaped because she was not allowed to eat.
From then on, the girl came to an orphanage and later was successfully admitted to high school.
However, Lin Jin didn't pay attention to what happened to this girl later, but it was better than staying at home.
Now the same situation almost happened to Lin Jin, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was related to her special situation.
Lin Jin quickly suppressed this thought in her mind. No matter what, this was just speculation, and she couldn't just doubt it before finding evidence.
She looked up at Shi Yunshu, her nominal cousin, who was smiling all the time. As she observed her face, she suddenly remembered where she had seen her before.
"Hospital, right? I saw you at the Jingshi Military District Hospital."
At that time, I tripped over a fruit basket, and the owner of the fruit basket was the person in front of me.
Seeing that Lin Jin finally remembered him, Shi Yunshu nodded excitedly, "It's me, it's me, Jin Jin, you finally remembered."
"We met for the first time in the hospital, but I didn't think about this at all at the time. It was not until I met you for the second time in He City that I started investigating. Now it seems that we are really lucky to meet each other in such a vast crowd."
Lin Jin silently took a sip of lemonade. It was quite a coincidence that she met more than one acquaintance.
Seeing that almost everything that needed to be said had been said, Lin Yiwen asked anxiously, "Auntie, do you want to go home with your parents?"
