Chapter 170: Yuan Yuan Is Not Our Daughter
Deng Rui originally had the idea of moving, and she could use the excuse of fearing Ah Chong’s family would cause trouble.
This way, Jiang Die wouldn’t overthink it.
Jiang Yuan also had the idea of moving because the East Bank Villa was ready for handover.
That night, Deng Rui sat on the sofa watching rental videos recommended by the agent.
“Stop watching,” Jiang Yuan sat beside her, blinking her bright big eyes, “I’ve already picked out a house.”
Deng Rui put down her phone and asked, “How many rooms is the one you picked?”
Jiang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head, “I forgot to count.”
“Do you even need to count how many rooms there are?” Deng Rui felt she was joking with her.
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Seeing Deng Rui pick up her phone to look at houses again, Jiang Yuan simply locked her phone screen and said with a serious expression, “I’ve really chosen one, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”
“Okay, okay, then I won’t watch anymore.” Deng Rui couldn’t do anything about her and could only put down her phone, glancing at the wall clock, “What time is it, why isn’t your dad back yet?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Dashan pushed open the door and came in.
“Dad’s back, Mom was just talking about you,” Jiang Yuan said, then noticed his expression was a bit off, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Dashan looked at her, his eye sockets slightly reddened.
Deng Rui put down her legs, stepped forward, and asked, “Why are you crying? Were you bullied at work?”
Jiang Dashan shook his head, squinting his eyes forcefully to hold back tears, “It’s nothing, the wind just made them red.”
“Really?” Jiang Yuan didn’t quite believe it.
“When has Dad ever lied to you?” Jiang Dashan said as he walked towards the room, “I’m going to take a shower.”
Jiang Yuan looked at his lonely back view and frowned, “Mom, ask Dad what’s wrong later, I feel like he’s not quite right.”
“Alright,” Deng Rui nodded, feeling a bit worried herself.
Jiang Yuan returned to the sofa and sat down. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone and transferred two thousand yuan to her dad on WeChat.
Was it because he was out of money and felt wronged?
When Deng Rui entered the room, Jiang Dashan had already finished showering and was lying in bed.
“Jiang Dashan, what’s going on with you?” she sat down at the dressing table to do her skincare.
The room was very quiet, and Jiang Dashan, lying under the quilt, remained silent.
Deng Rui finished applying her eye cream, lifted the quilt, and lay down. Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Dashan suddenly turned over and hugged her.
“What happened?” Deng Rui frowned, feeling something was wrong, “Say something.”
Jiang Dashan started crying with sobs, “Wife…”
Deng Rui’s heart suddenly sank, and her voice turned cold, “Did you cheat?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Jiang Dashan was both angry and helpless, “Am I that kind of irresponsible man?”
“Then what else?” Deng Rui examined him suspiciously.
Jiang Dashan sighed, “I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to accept it if you knew…”
Deng Rui’s eyes darted around, “Besides you cheating, I should be able to accept anything else.”
“Really?”
“Stop dawdling, hurry up and say it!”
Jiang Dashan pressed his lips together and said in a low voice, “Someone found me today and said Yuan Yuan isn’t our daughter, and they are Yuan Yuan’s biological parents.”
“What?” Deng Rui looked at him, incredulous, then rolled her eyes, “What kind of joke is this, it’s not funny at all.”
Jiang Dashan looked very sad, “I also thought the other party was joking at the time, but they showed us a paternity test…”
“A paternity test could also be fake!” Deng Rui’s tone was firm, “I gave birth to my own daughter, how could I have mixed her up?”
“They did say that babies were swapped at the hospital…” Jiang Dashan choked out, “They said someone deliberately sought revenge that year, swapped all the newborns, and our biological daughter’s whereabouts are still unknown…”
“Impossible!” Deng Rui sat up and shook her head forcefully, “I don’t believe it!”
Jiang Dashan also sat up and sighed, “I don’t want to believe it either, but they showed us the surveillance footage from the hospital’s newborn area that year…”
Deng Rui stared at him with red eyes, “Where is the video?”
Jiang Dashan turned around, reached for his phone, tapped a few times, and handed it to her.
Deng Rui took the phone and saw that the time and place displayed on the surveillance footage matched. A sudden sense of unease arose in her heart.
In the video, someone in a nurse’s uniform was carrying newborns from one crib to another, even swapping the name tags that identified the newborns.
“I still don’t believe it!” Deng Rui threw the phone on the bed, covered her face, and cried heartbrokenly.
Jiang Dashan looked at his wife like this, and felt very sad.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, “Rui, seeing you like this makes me feel terrible.”
“Why is this happening…” Deng Rui leaned into his arms, crying uncontrollably, “Heavens, why are you so cruel!”
Although sometimes she would say she didn’t have such a daughter when Jiang Yuan angered her, with what happened now, she wished it was all a dream.
“Perhaps it was just a prank,” Jiang Dashan comforted her in a low voice.
Deng Rui’s emotions gradually calmed down.
Jiang Dashan gently wiped away her tears, “Don’t cry anymore, things will work out in the end.”
Deng Rui asked in a hoarse voice, “What did they say when they came to find you?”
Jiang Dashan: “They just said Yuan Yuan wasn’t our biological daughter, showed me the paternity test and this video, and then left.”
“They didn’t say anything else?” Deng Rui frowned in confusion.
Jiang Dashan shook his head, “No.”
“This is so strange,” Deng Rui felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, “Could it really be a prank?”
“I don’t know,” Jiang Dashan sighed, “I’m sorry, I was so surprised and sad at the time that I didn’t ask much.”
“It’s not your fault,” Deng Rui patted his hand, “I would have been the same, I couldn’t have thought of anything else.”
Before going to sleep, she instructed, “You absolutely cannot let Yuan Yuan know about this.”
The next day.
Jiang Yuan woke up early and found that Deng Rui’s eyes were swollen like walnuts, and her heart immediately skipped a beat.
“Mom, what happened last night?”
Deng Rui turned her back to her, “Nothing happened.”
Jiang Yuan asked worriedly, “Why are your eyes so swollen?”
Deng Rui was guilty, “It was, it was bitten by mosquitoes.”
“Did they bite you so symmetrically?” Jiang Yuan leaned close to her, her face full of worry, “Did Dad do something to betray you?”
“No,” Deng Rui turned away again, “How would your dad dare? I’d slap him to death!”
“Then why are you crying like this?”
“I already said it was mosquito bites, why don’t you believe me?”
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Jiang Yuan didn’t press further.
At noon, she went directly to the downstairs of Jiang Dashan’s workplace to intercept him. The father and daughter found a stir-fry restaurant for lunch.
“Dad, why aren’t you eating?” Jiang Yuan saw that he was distracted while eating.
Jiang Dashan quickly picked up his bowl and ate his rice, “I am eating.”
Jiang Yuan put a piece of rib into his bowl, a hint of scrutiny hidden in her eyes, “Are you and Mom hiding something from me?”
Jiang Dashan immediately choked, “Cough, cough, cough… What nonsense are you talking about? Cough, cough…”
