Today, Xi Nian was not wearing a Zhongshan suit, but a Western suit, a formal suit that was straight and neat; he was alone and had no bodyguards.
Seeing this, Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Comrade Xi, you look particularly handsome today."
"Thank you Comrade Zhong for your affirmation. I also think this is a very special day." He didn't refuse, but he also didn't admit that he was handsome. Instead, he implicitly agreed with Zhong Yuxiu's words, "Comrade Zhong and Comrade Yan are very happy!"
"We talked for a while. Comrade Xi Nian is here now. Have you found out the results of the investigation?"
Xi Nian nodded with a smile, pulled out a folded paper from his suit pocket and handed it to her, "It's all here, please take a look."
"Thank you." He then opened it and unfolded it to look at it.
A group of spies had been waiting for an opportunity two years earlier, but they had never found one. Zhong Yuxiu had someone constantly following her, unable to enter the school or even approach her from outside. For two years, they had often followed her, but only from a distance, not daring to look closely.
In the past six months, Zhong Yuxiu hadn't left the compound more than five times, and they were getting anxious. They first sought out Wan Yutong and threatened her, only to discover she was timid, cowardly, and a bully. They lost interest in working with her and shifted their focus to the Zhong family.
Coincidentally, Zhong's parents knew that Wan Yutong was not their biological daughter from the moment they brought her home. Therefore, although they did not treat her badly, they did not like her either. They believed that it was because of her that their daughter left them. When Wan Yutong grew up, they wanted to marry her off in exchange for a high bride price.
We can’t say that the Zhong family is evil, but they are not good people either.
"How did they know that Wan Yutong was not their biological daughter?"
"According to Feng Jianhong, the mother of the Zhong family, you were born with a birthmark on your arm that looked like the word 'Fu' but wasn't it. She held you in her arms when you were born and knew where you had the birthmark. When she woke up from her sleep, she discovered that her daughter had been replaced and couldn't find her no matter how hard she looked. In the end, Feng Jianhong had no choice but to take Wan Yutong home to raise her," Xi Nian said.
Zhong Yuxiu was completely bewildered. "I saw my daughter, then went back to sleep, and when I woke up, she was the wrong child. Why does this sound so sinister? Could someone have switched them on purpose?"
"I don't know. It happened more than 20 years ago. The hospital where you were born no longer exists." Xi Nian shook his head. There was no way to check this matter. Although the hospital would record the births more than 20 years ago, it was only a simple record, not as detailed as it is now.
What's more, the hospital no longer exists and all the doctors who worked there have been transferred to other places.
"Forget it. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it's true that Wan Yutong and I have swapped identities." Zhong Yuxiu's heart moved. "How are the Zhong family members now?"
Seeing that she looked normal, Xi Nian slowly said, "They were tricked into coming to the capital. They weren't guilty, so they've been released. They might come looking for you again, but thanks to their arrival, we were able to capture several spies. They weren't able to successfully see you, and the spy plan was carried out, so they can be considered to have made up for their mistake."
"Then let them come and see me. They are my biological parents after all. There are some things I need to make clear to them." After all, they are my original body's biological parents. I should meet them first and then make further plans.
"Okay, when would you like to meet?"
Zhong Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's just do it this year. They've been in Shangjing for two days now, and their money should be running out."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now. Comrade Zhong, do you want to meet them inside the compound or outside?" Xi Nian said solemnly, "Don't worry, the spy has been caught. You don't have to worry about your safety when you go out."
Zhong Yuxiu looked up at Yan Rushan.
Yan Rushan patted her shoulder soothingly and spoke to Xi Nian, "Let's go to the compound. Comrade Xi Nian, please have someone bring them over."
"Yes, there are four of them in total. It's not a large group, so it won't be difficult for them to enter the compound."
After seeing Xi Nian off, Zhong Yuxiu and Yan Rushan returned to the hall. Yuxiu asked, "Brother Yan, does this outfit look good on me? Do you want to change?"
"It fits well, no need to change." She was wearing a loose skirt today, embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes, a white wool coat on the outside, and home shoes, which looked casual and beautiful.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "Then I won't change it."
The two waited for nearly an hour, the sky growing increasingly dark outside. Xi Nian personally escorted them over. Zhong Yuxiu first took a look at her original body's biological parents and brother and sister-in-law. Her parents' faces were weathered, their hair prematurely gray, and the deep scars of time had been left on their faces. Her brother seemed simple and honest, his eyes dull, suggesting a person with a simple heart. On the other hand, her sister-in-law, with her unremarkable features and a rather lifeless look in her eyes, always gave people a sense of disgust.
Yuxiu retracted her gaze and said to Xi Nian, "Comrade Xi, thank you for your hard work and for taking the trouble to make this special trip."
"It's what I should do." Xi Nian smiled politely. "Comrade Zhong and several other comrades are meeting for the first time. I think they have a lot to say. I won't stay here to disturb you. I'm leaving now. Feel free to call me if you have anything."
"Okay, thank you."
Xi Nian waved his hands repeatedly and said it was his duty, then said goodbye and left again.
Zhong Yuxiu looked at the four members of the Zhong family again. Judging from the time, the parents were only in their fifties, and half of their hair was white. They had been working in the fields for many years, and their skin was dark and yellow, and they were thin. The head of the Zhong family was about 1.8 meters tall. The original mother Feng Jianhong stood in front of him, looking thin and weak, and quite sad and pitiful.
"Hello, my name is Zhong Yuxiu."
"My daughter..." Feng Jianhong's eyes suddenly turned red at her daughter's strangeness and alienation, tears trickling down her face. "I'm sorry for losing you. I wish I didn't sleep."
Mr. Zhong Jing's eyes were moist. He had expectations for his daughter, but also bitterness, anxiety, and uneasiness. He was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
Instead, the son of the Zhong family stared at her curiously and excitedly, without saying a word or moving his eyes away.
Zhong Yuxiu's heart was hit. Even though she had seen many scenes, she still felt sad when she saw Feng Jianhong's red eyes, guilty face and tears.
Feng Jianhong's concern for her daughter is genuine and not fake.
"Please sit down on the sofa and talk." Yan Rushan helped Yuxiu sit down and said to the Zhong family, "Yuxiu is pregnant and should not be emotional. Please forgive me."
Zhong Jing's eyes fell on her belly and he forced a smile, but it looked forced no matter how he looked at it.
"You're pregnant, good! Why is your belly so big? It looks bigger than a nine-month-old's."
Feng Jianhong then noticed that she was pregnant. Seeing her struggling to support her waist, she began to cry again out of heartache. She patted her husband and couldn't stop crying.
"Yuxiu... Can we call you Yuxiu?" When the words were on the tip of her tongue, Fang remembered that they were still strangers, strangers who had not recognized each other and had nothing to do with each other.
