So from the very beginning, Sheng Qian was no ordinary woman.
“The Helan family can handle any problem, no matter how big it is. It doesn’t matter if it implicates you. Dad and I can take care of it for you,” Helan Jin said confidently. Sheng Qian knew that he had the right to say such things.

After watching He Lanjin leave, Sheng Qian headed towards Beijing University.
When Helan Jin returned home, his family was already eagerly waiting for him.
As soon as Helan Jin entered the room, Old Madam Helan lost her composure and demanded, "What did Qian say?"
“Grandma, don’t be anxious,” Helan Jin said with amusement, not expecting that her usually calm and collected grandmother would be so anxious. “I just chatted with Xiaoqian for a while, and I feel that she has guessed something. And something must have happened in her family that made her know something.”
"So, does she want to acknowledge us or not? Or is she hostile towards us?"
"Old Madam Helan asked urgently."
Xie Xiangyu, who was sitting to the side, had already woken up. If she wasn't afraid that she might hurt Sheng Qian because she wasn't stable enough, she would have wanted to run to Sheng Qian right now.
“Mom and Dad, Xiaoqian is much smarter and stronger than we thought. She must have guessed it the moment I said it. Even if we don’t acknowledge it, she knows perfectly well what’s going on.” That’s why Helan Jin said something happened to Sheng Qian’s family that made her know the truth about her background.
Although they knew the truth, they did not run out to find their biological parents.
Sheng Qian wasn't lying; she genuinely didn't care about status.
She has her own way of surviving.
For her, the identity of Miss Helan was dispensable.
After conveying this message, the family quieted down.
"I knew Qian'er would react like this. She's so similar, so much like me when I was young," said Madam Helan, who was both pleased and somewhat helpless.
Now we have no choice but to accept it.
Sheng Qian had already guessed the truth. If they deliberately denied it, it would only cause a series of problems.
"Since that's the case, let's make some preparations," Helan Zhi said, sounding somewhat anxious.
"Did Xiaoqian say anything else?" Xie Xiangyu couldn't help but ask.
"Xiangyu, don't worry. Since Xiaoqian's reaction isn't too intense, as long as we acknowledge her and explain the situation, she'll understand us."
Helan comforted her.
The events of that year can be found out if one is determined to investigate. All the evidence shows that the Helan family was forced to lose Shengqian.
As for whose dead baby it was, that remains undiscovered.
In those times, countless infants died, and the hillside behind the village was littered with children.
Especially if a baby girl is born, families who can't afford to raise her will abandon her by the roadside or in the mountains behind the house.
Some were even placed in the water and floated away with the current.
There are countless examples like this.
Therefore, it is difficult to trace back to the truth of that time.
"Ah Zhi, will Xiao Qian blame me for not protecting her, blame us for not searching for her for more than ten years..." Xie Xiangyu was a little agitated.
"No, Xiaoqian is a sensible child. She won't blame us for these things. Xiangyu, don't overthink it. You've finally come to your senses. Don't let your own worries ruin the time you've spent getting to know Xiaoqian."
The next sentence worked instantly.
Xie Xiangyu composed herself, her voice still tinged with urgency: "We must bring Xiaoqian home safely; we can't let her suffer anymore..."
"Okay, we will reunite them properly and we will never let her suffer any injustice," Helan Zhi gently comforted Xie Xiangyu.
"Dad, Mom, I'll make the arrangements this time. Xiaoqian said she'll be home tomorrow."
He Lanjin said.
"Why didn't you say so sooner, child?" Old Madam Helan's eyes lit up. "Then let's prepare right away. Should we notify our relatives and friends to come back and recognize us?"
“Grandma,” Helan Jin said, both amused and exasperated, “you’re in too much of a hurry. We don’t know what the situation will be like tomorrow. Let’s make plans after the others come back.”
"I'm just worried that Qian'er will be wronged," the Helan family had been missing for so many years, and now that they had finally found her, they definitely wanted to publicize it extensively, otherwise no one would know that the Helan family had a young lady.
"Let's wait until things stabilize before discussing anything, Mom. We can't scare her away. Xiaoqian is now the Long family's daughter-in-law, and she has her own ideas. We need to take it slow," Helan Zhi quickly advised.
Madam Helan said, "I was so happy that I forgot all about these things. Let's test Qian's intentions tomorrow."
“Let’s just get straight to the point. She’s already guessed what I’ve said today, so there’s no point in probing any further,” Helan Jin said.
“Xiao Jin is right, Mom. We’ve also spent time with Xiao Qian and know that she’s a steady person. It’s better to be straightforward about some things.” Different people need to be treated differently. Sheng Qian is not the kind of girl who is timid and submissive, nor is she a quiet and weak person.
Therefore, the approach needs to be changed.
Madam Helan nodded repeatedly, "We'll do as you say."
