lanced at the two people before her. Only then did she speak:What do you want me to doCan Master Wu give us some clues"As a mage, I cannot interfere with your investigation, you should be aware of th...Assistant Xiao Han dutifully reported the results of her investigation and then left the room, giving the couple space.

Zhou Mengyu kept her brows furrowed, while Zhao Fenglin began to scheme. Could it be that the Feng family had gone to such lengths to achieve their goals Not only did they find the nursery nurse, but they also targeted Wan Guifen who was in labor, effectively setting up a double insurance policy.

How could a mother like Wan Guifen be willing to give up her own child

Zhao Fenglin finally said in a low voice.

He believes in his assistant Xiaohan's abilities and methods. Since she was able to dig out this information from that woman's mouth, it shouldn't be fake.

"Because she is a mother, that's why she did it."

Zhou Mengyu finally opened her mouth and spoke.

"Is it because of our Zhao family's resources"

Look at the current situation of the two children. From food, clothing, shelter, transportation to education and the network of people they interact with, there's no comparison.

As a mother myself, I understand her feelings. Although her child is separated from her, they are still blood-related. This bond can never be severed. As long as the opportunity is right, she will recognize Qianrou.

Then, no matter what, Jian Rou would never ignore them. Whatever Jian Rou casually revealed, the Wu family would benefit from it. That was her plan!

I never expected to see Ripples unexpectedly in the capital this time, and because of Zidong, it gave the child an earlier encounter with us.

"I understand what you mean. Perhaps Wan Gui-fen will say something to Xian Rou during this meeting. We should give them a chance to interact."

Zhao Fenglin's eyes flashed, then he directly addressed Zhou Mengyu:

Give the pearl necklace to Lian Rou and let her give it as a gift to Wan Gui Fen.

Zhou Mengyu immediately understood her husband's intention and readily agreed.

"Don't tell Xianrou about this for now. Just say it was an accident caused by the nurse's negligence. Let's wait until we figure out the cause and effect before saying anything else."

"Don't worry, I know what's important."

After agreeing on everything, the two returned to their own rooms. Zhao Xianrou didn't know about this; she wanted to see her biological daughters in the best possible state so she rested early.

The next day at noon, the three of them went to Wu's house as agreed. Although they had already mentally prepared themselves, when they saw the cramped 40-square-meter room, Zhao Xianrou's disdain flashed across her face for a moment before she immediately pretended to be a little nervous and bowed politely to Wu Yong and Wan Guifen.

Looking at the face, which was six points similar to Wan Guifen's, everyone became even more certain that Xianrou was Wu's daughter. When Zhao Xianrou saw Wan Guifen, she felt very strange in her heart, wanting to get closer but also having a sense of distance.

Zhao Xianrou immediately turned her gaze to Wu Lianyi. Upon seeing the latter's face, her pupils contracted, and she took a deep breath before saying:

"Ripple sister, hello, I'm Xianrou, I'm very sorry."

"We're the same size, just call me Ripple. You don't have to apologize either. It wasn't your fault that our lives were switched. We were both babies back then, victims in a way. You shouldn't apologize, it's that bad person who swapped us who should be sorry. She deserves punishment, to live like a rat in a sewer."

Wu Lianyi spoke gracefully and generously.

When Wan Guifen heard this, her eyes flickered for a moment of unnaturalness. Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu, who were secretly watching her, noticed it. The two exchanged glances silently but did not speak up.

Zhao Xianrou didn't expect the other party to react so quickly, not giving her a chance to put on airs. Instead, she put both of them in the position of victims. She could only smile stiffly and say:

You're right, but I always feel like I stole your life.

It's not too late to realize this now, just correct it. A person's life is long, we are all at the age of flowers, and there is time to make up for the missing family affection.

Wu Lianyi smiled and said.

“”

Zhao Xianrou was almost unable to maintain her expression, and Wan Guifen immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, Xianrou, please have a seat, don't stand and talk. I made some home-cooked dishes, try my cooking."

After some polite exchanges, Wu Junyi moved the coffee table in the living room to one side and then set up a folding round table. The tabletop was plain, made of dark brown with marble-like patterns. It was utterly ordinary. Wan Guifen even spread a white disposable plastic tablecloth over it, making it look even more cheap.

The stool she sat on was an ordinary folding round stool. Zhao Xianrou was extremely careful when she sat down, not knowing whether it was because she disliked it being dirty or afraid of it being unstable.

In short, the meal wasn't particularly enjoyable. Although Wan Guifen had put a lot of effort into making it, it seemed to be not to Zhao Xianrou's taste. Wu Junyi, on the other hand, was eating with gusto because he didn't want indigestion and so went straight to the kitchen to indulge.

After the meal, it was time for them to reconnect individually. Zhou Mengyu then made an excuse to take Wu Lianyi away, leaving the true family of four with space to communicate.

This time, Zhao Fenglin and his wife brought Lianyi directly to a residential area near the school she attended, stopping in front of a four-story building.

Ripple, you're about to take the high school entrance exam. We bought a used apartment in this neighborhood so that after your evening self-study, you can walk here in five minutes. This saves time and is safe, and it won't delay you from going to class in the morning.

The house is being renovated these two days. Come over and have a look first. You can make modifications and decorations according to your preferences. When your dad returns to Shanghai, we will arrange for a live-in aunt to take care of your three meals a day. What do you think of this arrangement

Zhou Mengyu explained in a soft voice, still carefully watching Wu Lianyi's expression.

"That's much better. After all, there's a boy in the family now. Since I and Wu Junyi have no blood relation anymore, it would be awkward to live under the same roof. You guys are very thoughtful."

Wu Lianyi smiled and said, she had long wanted a space of her own.

"As long as you're happy! Let's go take a look now. The first floor is too noisy, the top floor gets too hot in summer, and the second floor doesn't have very good lighting, so we chose the third floor."

Zhou Mengyu's smile widened by two points, and she went to see the new house with ripples of good mood.

"The ripples, this house is still under my name. Wait until you change your surname, and I'll transfer it to your name."

"We're not forcing you to change your surname. We just don't want you to be entangled in unnecessary trouble. The ins and outs of why your names were changed haven't been thoroughly investigated yet, and the Wu family is also suspected. So please don't overthink it."

Zhao Fenglin's steady voice sounded, patiently explaining to his daughter.

Wu Lianyi's eyes flashed after hearing this. She was certain that Zhao Fenglin had discovered Wan Guifen's problem, but he just didn't have enough evidence yet. She immediately nodded solemnly in response.

Next, it was time for the family of three to view the house. Everything had been decorated according to Wu Lianyi's preferences, which made her very much looking forward to moving in.

Meanwhile, the Wu family of four sat across from each other, the atmosphere somewhat awkward, with no one willing to break the silence.ake advantage of the chaos and assassinate Zhang Fenglin. Then, as the sole survivor, he can unify the North and South forces!It's a pity that despite having such good cards in his hand, he played the...
