Shu Ying gently stroked her back, "All those things from the past are in the past. No one will be able to bully you anymore, sister. Anyone in our family can stand up for you!"
She wiped away Song Zhaodi's tears with one hand, her voice gentle yet firm.
"We'll go answer the phone from the compound right now and call our parents directly to share this good news with them. They must be eager to come home."
The daughter, who had been lost for many years, returned to their side. The joy of finding her again was a gift from heaven.
The two of them immediately went to the phone booth. This was Song Zhaodi's first time making a phone call, and the receiver in her hand trembled. The two of them squeezed into the small booth, just like sisters.
Shu Ying skillfully dialed a number. After a few seconds of silence, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. Song Zhaodi's mind went blank for a moment, and then she looked at Shu Ying with some helplessness.
She didn't know how to bring it up, especially since it involved her background. Although she had already met Huang Meiling, the words were like a hot potato to her lips.
Shu Ying understood her anxiety and answered the phone without hesitation.
"Mom, the paternity test results for my sister are in, and she is indeed your biological child!"
Shu Ying's words were like a thunderclap on a calm lake. Xie Wenyuan and his wife's hands trembled as they held the phone. Huang Meiling tried hard to suppress her sobs, but they still came through from the other end of the line.
Her choked voice was heartbreaking. "Good child, I knew there wouldn't be any mistake. Your father and I will be back right away."
Song Zhaodi's tears flowed like beads from a broken string, unstoppable no matter what she did.
"mom."
The word "mother" came out somewhat awkwardly, but the blood relationship between mother and daughter is inexplicably connected, and she called out it affectionately and naturally, as if they had never been separated.
Huang Meiling was stunned for a moment, but when she realized whose voice it was, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. She gripped the microphone tightly with both hands, "Oh, good child, don't cry. This is a good thing. Our family can finally be reunited."
Song Zhaodi never imagined that she would have such a glorious time. She originally thought that her life in the mountains was predictable and that she would never see the end of her life. But it turns out that more than 20 years of her life were stolen from her.
Huang Meiling's hurried voice came again, "We'll ask for leave now and try to get back tonight. Have you told the director yet?"
Before Xie Wenyuan could even reply, she immediately grabbed his arm with one hand.
"Forget it, you can't explain this kind of thing clearly anyway. It's better if I go and talk to her. One day off isn't enough this time. Our daughter has been forced to separate from us for so many years. If it weren't for God's blessing, we..."
As she spoke, she recalled that unpleasant past, and she was unwilling to say anything more.
"In any case, we can't let He Caixia get away with it. We have to get justice for our daughter! She switched our children back then. Even though more than 20 years have passed, I will still report it to the police when I return to Beijing."
