An hour later.
Zhou Man sat in front of a tightly wrapped woman in a private room in a teahouse that she had booked.
"You look a lot like your biological mother, especially your eyes," the other person said, his voice a little hoarse.
Zhou Man's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes were completely different from her mother Wen Ying's.
"Who are you? If you keep trying to be mysterious, I'm leaving." She picked up the Hermès bag on the table and made a gesture to leave.
The man tossed an old photo in front of her. Zhou Man froze when she took a closer look at the person in the picture. The person in the photo bore a 50% resemblance to her, except for her more charming smile and better figure. If Zhou Man was a budding flower, the other person was a ripe, mouth-watering peach. Her eyes and mouth were exactly like hers. At that moment, Zhou Man felt as if an invisible hand were gripping her heart, making it difficult to breathe. She, initially skeptical, suddenly became 70% convinced.
She is not her mother's daughter. Could it be that she is her father's illegitimate daughter?
As if she could read her thoughts, the strange woman said, "Your biological father is not Zhou Liheng, and you have no blood relationship with them. You should thank me. If I hadn't switched you back then, how could you have enjoyed such a good life for so many years? Your current glorious life was all stolen. I am your benefactor!"
Zhou Man shook her head desperately, "No, that's nonsense! I am my parents' biological daughter!"
She is the apple of the Zhou family's eye!
The woman took off her mask and sunglasses and said with a smile, "I'm short of money recently. If you give me 20 million, I will take this secret to the grave. Otherwise, don't blame me for contacting Wen Ying."
"If Wen Ying knew that you were just an imposter and that you had caused her biological daughter to go missing, would you still be able to continue being the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"
Zhou Man could afford 20 million, but it would also use up most of her savings.
Zhou Man bit her lower lip so hard that it almost drew blood. "Who are my biological parents?"
She has always been proud of her identity and cannot imagine the day when she will lose her status as the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
The woman said, "I don't know who your father is. I only know your biological mother is Tao Xiaran, and Zheng Jiaming from the company's finance department is your uncle. Your biological mother worked in the same hospital as Wen Ying, and she gave birth to you by cesarean section the day after Wen Ying gave birth. They bribed us to switch you with the real eldest daughter of the Zhou family. Your biological mother truly had good intentions in mind for your prosperity and wealth."
Jin Xinting was one of the nurses bribed back then. For years, she'd been living in Country M, relying on the money Tao Xiaran gave her and her decent salary abroad, making her life more comfortable than back home. Unfortunately, her son had been framed for gambling and fell into a large debt. Jin Xinting also learned that several of the nurses from that time had met with mishaps, some even disappearing. She even sensed someone was following her. Having lived abroad for so many years, Jin Xinting was still wary and managed to escape.
She guessed that someone was investigating what happened back then. She immediately thought of Zhou Man. Her son owed so much money, and if he didn't pay it back, he would probably be killed abroad.
She heard that Zhou Man was loved more by her parents than the two young masters of the Zhou family, and that the birthday gifts she received last year totaled tens of millions. So she rushed back to China and used this to blackmail Zhou Man. If she wanted to keep her current life, she had to give her the money.
Zhou Man sat there blankly, her mind blank.
She didn't want to believe this fact, but she was sad to find that the other party was so confident, so she was afraid that this must be true.
After an unknown amount of time, her weak voice rang out, "I'll transfer the money to you. But this is the last time."
Jin Xinting showed a satisfied expression. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. You see, if I hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, I wouldn't have come to you. When I get the money, I'll tell you one more thing."
"I hope you keep your word." She paused, then asked what she wanted to know most, "Where's the other child? Where did she go?"
Jin Xinting said, "Of course, she was taken away by your biological mother. I don't know her whereabouts. Maybe your biological mother will eliminate this hidden danger for your sake. Your biological father is probably also a wealthy man, otherwise how would your biological mother have so much money to bribe us?" She got two million that year. Seventeen years ago, two million was still quite valuable.
Zhou Man knew full well that even if her biological father was wealthy, she was most likely illegitimate. No wonder her biological mother had switched her. While she felt bad for the other girl, Zhou Man still hoped she would disappear from the world. Only then would her position be secure.
She knew that her thoughts were selfish, and if she had the chance in the future, she would do more good deeds as a way to accumulate merit for that girl. Thinking of this, her guilt was alleviated a little.
Zhou Man left in a daze, her mind preoccupied with the incident. She found an opportunity to transfer 20 million yuan to Jin Xinting. Of course, she also secretly contacted her uncle, Zheng Jiaming, and learned from him that all this was true.
After the money arrived, Jin Xinting sent her a message, which made Zhou Man feel like she had fallen into the abyss.
The other three nurses involved in the incident have all disappeared, and I was followed by someone unknown while abroad. I suspect someone is investigating what happened. Be on your own.
Zhou Man trembled, a wave of fear overwhelmed her. Why would someone want to pick on her? Why would they investigate this matter?
