Two days later, Feng Binbin returned from outside and brought back the news that Cheng Yuesheng had been waiting for for a long time.
Feng Binbin recounted everything he had discovered: "Cheng Jiu grew up in a small town called Changtan County in Jiangnan City. Her parents ran a small supermarket there. Unfortunately, during her sophomore year of high school, their home caught fire one night. Both her parents died in the blaze. Fortunately, she was attending boarding school at the time and escaped the disaster."
"Her parents didn't leave much savings, and she relied on that little to finish high school. According to her school teachers, Cheng Jiu had excellent grades and always ranked first in the county joint entrance exam. After the college entrance exam, she was admitted to Beicheng University. She left Changtan County and never returned."
After hearing this, Cheng Yuesheng murmured, "So she really has nothing to do with the Cheng family."
Feng Binbin glanced at Cheng Yuesheng and replied, "No, Miss Cheng, this Cheng Jiu might really be the person you are looking for."
Cheng Yuesheng stared at him with wide eyes. Qin Heque, who was standing beside her, shook her hand and glanced at Feng Binbin, motioning him to continue.
"It seems so, but I found Cheng Jiu's former neighbors, and they said Cheng Jiu doesn't look like her parents at all. Cheng Jiu has been pretty and cute since she was a child, but her parents look very ordinary, so some people have always suspected that Cheng Jiu is not her biological child."
"so?"
"When I first heard about it, I thought it was just a rumor. But people who know her family said that when they moved to Changtan County, Cheng Jiu was already 10 years old, but she was as thin as a 6 or 7-year-old. Some people even thought she was abused by her parents, but Cheng Jiu refuted those who made such claims, saying that her parents didn't abuse her, but that she was hungry."
"Is her family very poor?" Cheng Yuesheng asked.
"No, her parents had the capital to open a small supermarket when they first came to this small county town, and the whole family had good food and clothing. Only Cheng Jiu was starving and looked malnourished. So some people have always suspected that Cheng Jiu was adopted by them out of pity."
"But everything I could find in Changtan County was about what happened after they settled there. No one knew where they lived before. Then I went to Cheng Jiu's primary school and checked her student records. She transferred from a primary school in Jiangzhou."
"That elementary school is the predecessor of the current Changning District No. 1 Elementary School. Before it was renamed, it was called Changning Elementary School. Miss Cheng, your father, Cheng Gong, attended elementary school there. After finding this elementary school, I immediately returned to Jiangzhou, intending to look for previous information about the school. However, due to the school's relocation, the previous information was lost. I found the teachers who taught Cheng Jiu's class back then, and they said that Cheng Jiu did have an older brother. Because their family was very poor and they were always late paying their tuition, many of their former teachers knew them. Cheng Jiu's brother was Cheng Gong."
"So when Cheng Jiu dropped out of school, she didn't go back to Changtan, but returned to Jiangzhou to live with her brother." Qin Heque continued Feng Binbin's words.
"That's right. After all, she was pregnant at the time. She had no relatives in Changtan, so she had to come to Jiangzhou to ask her brother for help." Cheng Yuesheng felt that Cheng Jiu was still a college student at the time. She would definitely not be able to live alone after dropping out of school due to pregnancy, so it was natural for her to return to Jiangzhou to ask relatives for help.
"But I never knew Cheng Gong had a sister. That's not right..." Cheng Yuesheng suddenly thought of the diary she had seen before. She said firmly, "He does have a sister, but I've never seen her, and no one has ever mentioned her. Only once did someone mention my aunt, and that day Cheng Gong and Wang Wanyun had a fight."
"In fact, Cheng Gong married into the Wang family back then." Qin Heque said indifferently.
"What?" Cheng Yuesheng asked in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"
Feng Binbin added, "Boss Qin is right. Cheng Gong did marry into the Wang family. However, his career developed well later on, and he gradually stopped acknowledging the incident, pretending it never happened."
Qin Heque explained, "So when Cheng Jiu came back to look for him, perhaps he was afraid that Wang Wanyun would know that he had a sister, so he hid her. After all, Cheng Jiu was pregnant before marriage and was expelled from school, which was very shameful in the eyes of outsiders. Cheng Gong might not want others to know that he had such a sister."
Cheng Yuesheng's face looked a little unhappy. She didn't know how a young girl like Cheng Jiu had spent that time more than 20 years ago.
"Don't worry." Qin Heque patted her shoulder and comforted her, "The truth will soon be revealed. The Cheng family will probably make a fuss soon, and then nothing will be hidden."
Cheng Yuesheng smiled at him gratefully.
Qin Heque suddenly said, "I'll take you to see someone tomorrow."
"Is this the person you found before?" Cheng Yuesheng asked.
"Yes, that's him."
Seeing that they started talking about other things, Feng Binbin tactfully left.
"I didn't expect Cheng Jiu's life story to be so complicated." Cheng Yuesheng sighed, "If she is really Cheng Gong's sister, then her life is really too miserable."
She was born into poverty and finally met adoptive parents who loved her. However, she lost her family in an accident when she was in high school. She was admitted to a good university, but became pregnant before marriage. Her boyfriend disappeared and she may have given birth to the child alone. She died young.
Qin Heque didn't know how to comfort her. After all, there was a high possibility that the poor woman Cheng Yuesheng mentioned was her biological mother.
He had no choice but to touch her head to comfort her.
"It's all in the past. If you were really her daughter, she would definitely be pleased to know that you have grown up."
