Chapter 171: Searching For Our Biological Daughter
Jiang Yuan hurried to pour a glass of water and handed it over.
Jiang Dashan finished drinking the water and stood up, holding his stomach, “Oh, my stomach isn’t feeling well. I’m going to the toilet.”
“Are you okay?” Jiang Yuan asked worriedly.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Eat slowly.” After speaking, Jiang Dashan pulled over a waiter and asked for directions to the toilet.
Jiang Yuan played on her phone for a while and noticed that ten minutes had already passed.
She quickly called Jiang Dashan, but it said the other party was on another call.
Jiang Dashan had already sneaked out of the restaurant and was on the phone with Deng Rui, “Yuan Yuan is waiting for me downstairs at the workplace, asking if we have something to hide from her.”
On the other end of the phone, Deng Rui asked nervously, “Then what did you say?”
“I pretended to go to the toilet and then ran away.”
“You… doesn’t that mean you admit we’re hiding something from her?”
“Then I don’t know how to answer. I’m afraid you’ll blame me if I say the wrong thing.”
Deng Rui was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, “Why don’t we just confess to Yuan Yuan?”
“Are you, are you sure?” Jiang Dashan frowned.
“We can’t hide it from her.” Deng Rui patted the blueberry on her leg and said helplessly, “It’s too easy for her to figure out what she wants to know. This house is full of her people.”
Hearing this, the blueberry immediately raised its head and meowed, “Mom, I’m on your side!”
Deng Rui touched its head, “Okay, you go back to work. I’ll call Yuan Yuan.”
After hanging up, she stared blankly at the family photo hanging in the living room.
Jiang Yuan returned home and saw this scene, “Mom, what are you spacing out about?”
“Yuan Yuan.” Deng Rui looked at her, a gentle smile appearing on her face, “Did you go to see your dad?”
Jiang Yuan sat beside her and casually grabbed a pillow, “He ran away. Do you think my dad is guilty? He wouldn’t have done anything to betray you, would he?”
“No.” Deng Rui said with a mix of amusement and helplessness, “Your dad doesn’t have that kind of courage.”
“Then what exactly happened between you two last night?” Jiang Yuan frowned, looking at her.
Deng Rui took her hand, her eye sockets slightly reddened, “Yuan Yuan, actually, this matter…”
Jiang Yuan’s mind stirred, and she suddenly guessed something, “It has something to do with me?”
“Yes.” Deng Rui nodded, “You… you should prepare yourself mentally first.”
“Tell me.” Jiang Yuan placed her hand on top of Deng Rui’s, saying softly, “I’m ready.”
Deng Rui pressed her lips together, and as she spoke, her voice became choked, “Your dad said someone went to see him yesterday, saying they are your biological parents…”
Jiang Yuan instantly understood.
The Meng family had finally found them.
Jiang Yuan took a tissue and wiped away her tears, “They said all those newborns were mixed up?”
“Yes.” Deng Rui nodded.
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, recalling the content of her dream, it didn’t seem to mention this.
She only remembered that after she returned to the Meng family, Meng Yunlan did not return to the Jiang family, nor did she acknowledge Deng Rui.
It seemed that Meng Yunlan was probably not the Jiang family’s child.
“Then what are your plans?” Jiang Yuan asked.
Deng Rui shook her head, “We don’t know yet. We originally planned to keep it from you first.”
“Mom.” Jiang Yuan leaned on her shoulder, her voice gentle, “No matter if we have a blood relation or not, you are still the mom I love the most.”
Hearing these words, Deng Rui burst into tears.
She raised her hand and caressed her daughter’s face, her voice with a crying tone, “This is what I want to tell you too. You will always be our good daughter, yours and your dad’s.”
“Then no crying tonight.” Jiang Yuan reached out and hugged her, “And no overthinking. We are a family, and we will face whatever happens together.”
“Okay.” Deng Rui nodded repeatedly, “I promise.”
Just then, several abrupt cries sounded.
“Meow woo woo…”
“Woof woo woo woo…”
Jiang Yuan turned her head and saw that it was several furballs crying.
“What are you crying about?” She let go of Deng Rui and stared at them suspiciously.
The blueberry cried with sobs, “This is too moving for a cat!”
Xixi cried breathlessly, “So touching, wuwu.”
Xiao Bai nodded vigorously, “This dog also feels so touched.”
Pipi strongly agreed, “Yeah, I wish Xing Xing could also meet a mom like this!”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She pressed her lips together, about to say something, when she suddenly heard the slow-reacting red-eared slider in the ecological tank let out a world-shattering cry, “Family, who understands? Even the turtle is crying from being moved!”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Meng Family.
The magnificent and brilliant crystal chandelier illuminated the entire villa.
“Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, I heard Yunting say that you met the child’s parents yesterday?” Meng Zhiwei put down the teacup in her hand and started talking about serious matters.
Meng Zhengliang said solemnly, “We met her father.”
Meng Zhiwei: “Then what did you talk about with him?”
“We didn’t talk about much.” Shen Airu sighed, “We just told him that Jiang Yuan is not their biological daughter and showed him the paternity test and the video of the hospital nurse intentionally switching the babies back then.”
“What did the other party say?” Meng Zhiwei asked.
Meng Zhengliang frowned, “That Jiang Dashan doesn’t look like a capable man. He just said he needed to go home and talk to his wife.”
A hint of disdain flashed in Meng Zhiwei’s eyes, “No wonder he raised that child so poorly. Then, Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, what are your plans?”
“I don’t know.” Shen Airu looked at her husband, “Let your Elder Brother make the decision on this matter.”
Meng Zhengliang’s brow furrowed tightly, “How can I make the decision? This is not my business alone!”
The thought of his daughter, who was living out in the world, being vain, incompetent, and only knowing how to hook up with men, made him furious.
If he admitted to having such a daughter with such vile character, his rivals would probably laugh in their dreams.
“Zhiwei, what do you think?” Shen Airu took her sister-in-law’s hand, “Help Elder Brother and Sister-in-law think of a way.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhiwei smiled helplessly, “Sister-in-law, it’s not appropriate for me to interfere too much in this kind of matter. Although I don’t like that child either, this was Mother’s last wish, and Father has also been asking…”
Before her death, Grandma Meng held Meng Zhengliang’s hand and told him to find his biological daughter and let her acknowledge her ancestors as soon as possible.
Grandpa Meng had also been urging Meng Zhengliang to find his biological daughter all these years.
“Sigh.” Shen Airu sighed again, “If only that child were more excellent, we wouldn’t be so troubled. Moreover, I’m worried that if we really bring her home, Lanlan’s sensitive nature will overthink things.”
“Actually, Lanlan mentioned this to me.” A hint of heartache showed between Meng Zhiwei’s eyebrows, “She’s afraid you won’t like her because of this, and she’s also worried that you’ll kick her out when you find your biological daughter.”
“This silly child.” Shen Airu said with helplessness and heartache, “Did you advise her not to overthink? No matter what happens, she is the apple of our Meng family’s eye, my precious daughter.”
After speaking, she looked at Meng Zhengliang, “Why don’t we give that child some money and not bring her back.”
