Chapter 70 I suspect Zhizhi is our sister
After a long pause, Wen Jinzhou nodded, looking like he was about to cry, "Yes, it's Old Zhou's wife!"
Wen Jinzhou's admiration for Zhou Lin was genuine, which is why Zhou Lin was also on his brother's radar.
Wen Jinshu asked in surprise, "Didn't Zhou Lin say he was three years older than you?"
“Yes, Zhizhi is eight years younger than him,” Wen Jinzhou said.
"Eight...she's twenty years old this year?"
"Um!"
Where is she from?
"From the same place as Lao Zhou?" Wen Jinzhou asked, looking at his brother with some curiosity. "Brother, are you checking my household registration?"
"No, I was just asking casually. She looked...familiar."
"Familiar face?" Wen Jinzhou thought for a moment. "I also felt a sense of familiarity when I first met Zhizhi."
"You said before that she was sick and wanted to go to Beijing for treatment. Is she better now?" Wen Jinshu asked again.
“Okay, Zhizhi used to be influenced by her family and didn’t get along well with Lao Zhou. Now she’s woken up and broken off with her family. She’s too nice to Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou isn’t used to it, so…” Wen Jinzhou pointed to his head, “He suspects that there’s something wrong with Zhizhi.”
"The day Qianqian came, Lao Zhou had just taken Zhizhi to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said that Zhizhi was perfectly fine and had no problems at all!"
"I think it's just that Lao Zhou is too paranoid."
"Is her family treating her badly?" Wen Jinshu thought. That was probably the only reason. Otherwise, a daughter would have no reason to break ties with her family.
Speaking of the Xie family, Wen Jinzhou's sadness and bitterness disappeared, and he became energetic. "Brother, let me tell you, the Xie family is a bunch of oddballs, you have no idea..."
Wen Jinzhou recounted the whole story in detail. After listening, Wen Jinshu did not offer any opinion. Instead, he looked thoughtful, as if pondering some issue.
"elder brother……"
Seeing that he hadn't said a word, Wen Jinzhou couldn't help but push him with his hand, "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Wen Jinshu shook her head, then asked, "Don't you think Zhi... Zhizhi resembles someone?"
"who?"
As Wen Jinzhou spoke, he pointed to himself and asked, "Don't I look like me?"
Many people say we look alike!
Wen Jinshu “…”
Wen Jinzhou: "...What's wrong?"
Seeing his older brother looking at him like he was an idiot, Wen Jinzhou felt embarrassed.
Wen Jinshu looked at her younger brother, feeling helpless. "Then didn't you suspect anything?"
Wen Jinzhou was still puzzled. "Suspicion about what?"
Wen Jinshu no longer expected him to figure it out on his own, so he simply stated bluntly, "I suspect that Zhizhi is our sister!"
"???" Wen Jinzhou was full of question marks. "But didn't Dad and the others say that my little sister's chances of survival were slim?"
"But at the time, apart from finding my sister's shoes downstream and her hat by the river, there was no other evidence to prove that something had happened to her."
“My dad had people search that area for half a month. It was impossible for him to be dead and not found. The comrades in charge of the investigation suspected that he had been abducted…” Wen Jinshu said with a slightly grim expression.
“But my sister was being taken care of by my mother at the time,” Wen Jinzhou thought it was impossible. If she had been abducted, why would his mother say that his sister had fallen into the river?
“Mom said she fainted and when she woke up, her sister was no longer with her. Her sister’s hat was by the river, and later her sister’s shoes were also found downstream. It’s not that Mom saw her sister fall into the river with her own eyes.”
"So..." Wen Jinzhou's eyes lit up, "Zhizhi, could she really be our sister?"
Wen Jinshu nodded.
If there was even a slight resemblance, Wen Jinshu wouldn't doubt it, but Xie Zhizhi looked too much like his mother. Except for her eyes, everything else was like they were made from the same mold.
Of course, the two have completely different temperaments. Xie Zhizhi is all smiles like a little sun, while her mother has a more aloof demeanor.
But that doesn't stop the two from looking alike.
Most importantly, Wen Jinshu couldn't believe that anyone would treat their own daughter that way, based on what Wen Jinzhou had told him about the Xie family.
It's highly likely that this daughter isn't their biological child at all.
They wouldn't care if Huo Huo died.
Wen Jinzhou immediately pulled him upstairs, "Come on, let's go find Zhizhi!"
Wen Jinshu didn't stop him. If they could really find his sister, it would be a great thing for their family.
The two brothers went upstairs.
After comforting Wen Qianqian on the second floor, Xu Shanshan also began to persuade Wen Qianqian, "Mom will help you pack your things, you should come back with Mom first..."
Before Xu Shanshan could finish speaking, Wen Qianqian pouted and said, "Mom, I'm not going back."
After she finished speaking, she crossed her arms and started to get angry.
"Qianqian," Xu Shanshan said with a doting yet helpless expression, "Listen to your mother and come back with me first. As for your second brother, I won't let him stay here any longer, I promise you." After saying that, Xu Shanshan raised her finger and made a sincere promise.
The moment Xu Shanshan saw Xie Zhizhi, she made up her mind that she had to take Wen Qianqian away today.
Wen Jinshu left with Wen Qianqian.
She couldn't let Wen Jinshu stay here any longer.
Wen Jinshu is different from Wen Jinzhou. Wen Jinzhou has always been carefree and simple-minded, but Wen Jinshu is different. Wen Jinshu doesn't talk much, but she knows everything perfectly well.
Seeing Xie Zhizhi, who looked so much like her, it was impossible for Wen Jinshu not to make some connections.
This might not happen yet, but what if we see each other a couple more times?
Therefore, she had to take Qianqian away from here.
Xu Shanshan's hands trembled slightly as she helped Wen Qianqian pack her things, her lowered eyes churning with intense emotions.
She hadn't expected Xie Zhizhi to look so much like her.
If it weren't for those eyes, they would look exactly alike.
The letter was right. If Wen Jinzhou stayed here, it was only a matter of time before he discovered the truth, even if he was slow to realize it.
The more Xu Shanshan thought about it, the more her hands trembled.
Wen Qianqian sat by the bed, watching Xu Shanshan pack her things, still worried. "Mom, will Second Brother go back?"
“He refused to go back before, but now that he’s been bewitched by that vixen, how could he possibly agree to go back?” Wen Qianqian was furious when she thought of Xie Zhizhi’s pretty face.
"A vixen?" Xu Shanshan, holding her bag, turned her head and asked in surprise.
"Yes, she's the wife of my second brother's comrade-in-arms. She's married, shameless, and always flirting with my second brother."
Xu Shanshan didn't know she was talking about Xie Zhizhi. Upon hearing this, her expression immediately turned cold. "He wouldn't dare not go back. If he doesn't go back this time, I really won't acknowledge him."
She had to get Wen Jinzhou back, otherwise once that girl's identity was discovered, the Wen family would inevitably have to take back their lost daughter, and then... what would happen to Qianqian?
There's an inherent difference between biological children and adopted children, let alone children who have been lost and then found again.
Hearing Xu Shanshan say this, Wen Qianqian felt a little relieved. "Mom, you don't know how shameless that vixen is. We can't let Second Brother stay here and continue to bewitch her."
"Yes, Mom knows."
Xu Shanshan started packing her things downstairs, while Wen Jinzhou and his brother knocked on Xie Zhizhi's door upstairs.
Xie Zhizhi and Zhou Lin had just finished eating. Zhou Lin was still washing the dishes, while Xie Zhizhi was organizing her goods, figuring out what she should do more of in the afternoon and what she didn't need to do for the time being, when there was a knock on the door.
