The next morning, Yan Qiao was woken up by a phone call.
After answering the call, I realized it was Ruan Cha.
"What if Qiaoqiao finds out? Uncle Song will find out!"
"Know what?"
It turned out that Ruan Cha's filming today happened to pass by the hospital, so she took the opportunity to visit Yan Shu.
Later, she ran into Yan Shu's attending physician at the ward entrance. He happened to be a fan of Ruan Cha and wanted her to sign his autograph.
Ruan Cha chatted with him casually for a couple of minutes, and then, almost without thinking, asked, "Is Aunt Yan Shu's blood type really AB?"
"How could this be fake?"
Ruan Cha nodded. "Can people with blood type AB and blood type B have a child with blood type O?"
The doctor looked at Ruan Cha with the same look he gave a student who was struggling academically.
"Of course not. How did you study biology? Did you even pass?"
Ruan Cha: "..."
She didn't expect that Song Yinsheng would overhear her questions.
Song Yinsheng wasn't unaware of this common knowledge; rather, he had never made that connection to the subject.
Of course, if Ruan Cha hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that Yan Yaoyao was blood type O, and he didn't even know what his own son's blood type was.
Having been caught red-handed, Ruan Cha had no choice but to obediently tell him what she knew.
Song Yinsheng's face was grave. If Yan Yaoyao wasn't his biological daughter, then where was his and Yan Shu's daughter?
"Cha Cha, could you please not tell your Aunt Yan about this? She's not in good health, and I'm afraid it might upset her."
Ruan Cha nodded. "I won't tell."
She now feels very guilty. Yan Qiao had told her not to say anything, but she was exposed just a few days later.
"Qiaoqiao, what should we do?"
Yan Qiao was silent for a moment, then said, "You know it, so you know it. Uncle Song will handle it himself, so don't feel guilty."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Qiao asked Xiao Qi, "What exactly happened with the baby swapping?"
Xiaoqi then slowly explained to her: "This matter goes back to your grandfather's generation."
When Yan Jiahao was young, he married and had children in the countryside. His first wife was Yan Qiao's current grandmother, Madam Yuan.
Later, Yan Jiahao joined the army. During the war, he was separated from Madam Yuan and Yan Yaohui. When he returned to his hometown, he found that the village was gone.
He had been searching for a wife and children for several years, but to no avail.
After being discharged from the army, Yan Jiahao met his future wife, Shi Yuehua, who was also Yan Shu's mother.
The two quickly fell in love, got married, and had children.
The year Shi Yuehua gave birth to Yan Shu, Old Madam Yuan brought Yan Yaohui to their door.
It was at this point that Shi Yuehua learned that Yan Jiahao had been married before, and she immediately decided to divorce him and leave with her daughter.
This love triangle dragged on for a long time. Yan Jiahao couldn't bear to see Shi Yuehua and her daughter suffer, so he agreed to the divorce and gave two-thirds of his property to her and Yan Shu.
Although he lived with Madam Yuan and Yan Yaohui, they were always estranged, and he longed for his wife and daughter who were far away.
His health deteriorated from then on, and before he died, he wrote a letter to Shi Yuehua, but due to the interference of Madam Yuan, he was unable to see her one last time.
He didn't even send out the suicide note he left for Shi Yuehua.
Because of this incident, Yan Shu and Yan Yaohui, the brother and sister, became sworn enemies, wishing they could never speak to each other again.
Unfortunately, after Yan Shu married Song Yinsheng, she returned to Yancheng.
On the day she gave birth, she was in the same hospital as Chen Lan and they went into the delivery room together.
Even the timing of childbirth was almost the same.
Madam Yuan knew that Chen Lan was extremely patriarchal and had prayed to the gods for a son as her first child, but instead gave birth to a daughter. She must have been extremely disappointed.
How can a child born out of disappointment be treated well?
Therefore, he harbored evil intentions and, in order to take revenge on Shi Yuehua and her daughter, swapped Yan Shu's and Chen Lan's children.
Yan Qiao said, "So even if Yan Yaoyao is by Chen Lan's side, she will have the same attitude."
Yes, she's always been someone who prioritizes self-interest. Yan Yaohui cheated on her during her pregnancy, and Chen Lan believes that having a son will solidify her position; she's become obsessed with her son. Qiaoqiao, don't worry about her. You'll have your own parents someday.
Yan Qiao smiled wryly: "Xiao Qi, Yan Shu is not Chen Lan. Yan Yaoyao grew up by her side, and she truly loves this daughter."
Since she truly loves him, why would Yan Shu easily agree to switch the child back?
Even with blood ties, without affection, it's all for naught.
Xiaoqi fell silent.
Yan Qiao pretended to be relaxed, "I won't say anymore. Anyway, this is how I've always been. Whether I have relatives or not, it's all the same to me."
But she still had to make a trip to see Madam Yuan.
Yan Qiao didn't know what the point of doing all this was; she just wanted to hear her admit to switching the children.
The next day, Yan Qiao went to the sanatorium.
The old lady and Chen Lan were at odds, and she spent most of the year in the sanatorium.
The environment and facilities here are excellent, and there are dedicated caregivers to look after her; the old lady looks very well.
She remained indifferent to Yan Qiao as always.
"You haven't been here for a while."
Yan Qiao nodded, "Yes, I came here today to ask Grandma some questions."
The old lady looked up at her. "What is it?"
"Let's talk about what happened nineteen years ago when you switched me with Yan Yaoyao. Oh right, you don't know who Yan Yaoyao is; she's your granddaughter."
The old lady's face changed drastically. "I don't know..."
“I’ve found the nurse from back then, and she’s confessed to it without hesitation. The person who instructed her to switch me and Yan Yaoyao was Grandma. Do you still want to deny it?” Yan Qiao interrupted her decisively.
The old lady's face was pale, and her old, thin hands trembled slightly.
She never imagined that something that happened so many years ago would be brought up again.
"Grandma, are you happy after Grandpa died?"
The old lady suddenly clenched her fists, her face darkening, as Yan Qiao's words had struck a nerve.
"So what if I switch you all? You've lived a life of luxury all these years, have we ever mistreated you?"
Yan Qiao sneered, "Yes, you've never mistreated me. You're the one who harmed Yan Yaoyao! Look at Yan Yaoyao now, her reputation is ruined. You've destroyed your own granddaughter!"
The old lady curled her lip, her face showing disdain.
"I don't care about a little girl."
Chen Lan favored sons over daughters, and she was no less so.
She always believed that if they hadn't had a son, Yan Jiahao might not have divorced Shi Yuehua.
She only has the confidence to speak when she has a son.
Yan Qiao lowered her eyes and sneered; they couldn't see eye to eye.
"Grandma, do you remember when I took the college entrance exam last year?"
The old lady's face grew increasingly grim. "What exactly do you want! Have I mistreated you all these years?"
Yan Qiao said to herself, "I came to see you on the eve of the college entrance exam, and then I was locked in the basement. You were the one who ordered that, weren't you?"
"You're talking nonsense! I think you've gone mad!" the old lady shouted angrily.
