erce so they could qualify for the job. Then things started moving quickly as they began preparations in earnest.The architectural drawings for the guesthouse were drawn by Lian's college classmate fr...Wan Gui Fen opened the door and saw the Zhao Feng Lin family of three. Although four years had passed, she felt that time had left no mark on Zhou Meng Yu's face. She looked at this woman with fondness. She was still elegant and graceful, while Zhao Feng Lin seemed to have become even more imposing in her eyes.

Both parties greeted each other politely and then sat down in the small hall. Lin Rou was the first to speak:

“Mom and Dad, I’m so sorry! I shouldn’t have hidden the existence of your child from you. When I found out I was pregnant and couldn't get an abortion, I even thought about dying with Yang Ziyi, but I can't bear to leave you, I can't bear to leave my newly recognized parents.”

That's why I kept the pregnancy a secret from you all. With your support, I was able to raise the child while still pursuing my studies. After graduating, I realized that I couldn't hide the child any longer, so I brought him back with me. Things always have to be resolved eventually.

After the soft words were spoken, no one replied. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Mother Wan was extremely anxious and kept giving ripples eye signals, while Ripples played with her nails and didn't say a word.

Zhou Mengyu gazed at Qianrou with a complicated expression. She glanced at the sleeping child and knew that Qianrou had a heavy heart, but she never expected her to keep such a secret. The day before, her husband told her about it, and she was still somewhat disbelieving. After all, she had watched as Qianrou fed the child the contraceptive medicine.

Zhao Fenglin had known about Lianrou's pregnancy for a long time, so he wasn't surprised. He just didn't accept her explanation. He looked at Lianru who was playing with her nails, and remained silent.

Wu Yong's eyelids twitched. He always felt that the three Zhao family members were unusually silent this time. He cleared his throat, ready to break the silence, but before he could speak, there was another knock at the door.

This time, it was Lian Yi who opened the door. Wu Jun Yi followed her in, which surprised both Wu's parents and Xian Rou. After all, at this time of day, Wu Jun Yi should be in class.

"I sent my younger brother over. After all, this is a big deal, he's part of the family, and he's also an uncle, so he has the right to know."

Ripples said softly.

Wu Junyi was called over and didn't know what it was for until he saw the child. Then he understood. He sat down on a square stool against the wall, ready to be a backdrop.

"Now that everyone is here, let's solve the problem."

Liàn Yī, with a pale complexion, spoke softly.

For some reason, when Lin Rou looked into her eyes, she felt a moment of unease and awkwardness. Just as she was about to say something else, the other person took out a small recording device from her canvas shoulder bag, which she had been carrying with her, and pressed the play button under everyone's puzzled gazes.

“My child, I endured being separated from you for seventeen years and raised someone else's children because of you. Seeing you now, I have no regrets about my decision! You must behave well in front of your foster parents. Ripple doesn't have a deep relationship with them because she wasn't raised by them.”

Inside, it was Wàn Guìfēn's voice, confessing that she had exchanged the children.

The expressions on the Wu family's faces changed, especially Wan Guifen's face turned pale. Then came Xianrou, their mother and daughter's secret hidden for so long was revealed the moment Zhao Family spoke it out. They had thought they were doing a good job hiding it!

The most surprising thing was Wu Junyi. After much ado, he realized that his own older sister and Lianyi were swapped by his mother. His eyes widened in an instant as he figured out the key to it all.

Wu Yong pointed at Wan Guifen with trembling fingers, his facial muscles twitching as he spoke in a hateful voice:

"Are you crazy!"

Wan Guifen's face was as pale as paper, her lips tightly clenched, not uttering a single word.

Then Li Rou said with a face full of terror:

"Mom and Dad, please listen to me explain."

"Don't rush to explain, wait until you've heard all the recordings before you explain."

The sound of ripples was faint, even with a hint of coldness.

Jian Rou seemed to have realized something, a pair of beautiful eyes turned to look at Zhao Feng Lin and Zhou Meng Yu. Both shook their heads helplessly, not wanting to say much.

"I accepted her bribe and helped disrupt Miss Wei's affair with Master Yang. However, later I don't know why, Young Master Yang only went in for less than five minutes before coming out again. Following Miss Zhao's instructions, I took him to her resting room."

"Don't let go!"

She felt her last shred of modesty ripped away, and rushed toward the tape recorder on the table. But Ripple beat her to it, scooping it up and putting it back in the canvas bag.

"Softly, you think that with the Yang and Wei families, they wouldn't have found out about this It's just that your father took control of this person first, to help you out. Otherwise, Lady Yang would have torn you apart!"

"Luckily, you're not stupid. You know that Madam Yang dislikes you, so you bravely chose to go abroad. And the back door you left for yourself is this child Tuan Bao! Am I right"

"Since you all know, why didn't you tell me"

Her delicate eyes were slightly red as she looked at the three people opposite her, especially Zhou Mengyu. She had even accompanied her abroad.

Are you saying that you already knew that we had been replaced, and that it was your birth mother who did it Or are you saying that something happened to you, and that Yang Ziyixing forced you, and that half of it was staged by you

Your child is three years old now. Your parents have given you so much time and opportunity. Have you ever thought about being honest with them

Ripple's question was very straightforward, she almost spat the words "You really have no shame" in her face.

"From the moment you knew we were replaced intentionally, have you ever thought about telling Mom and Dad Although it wasn't your fault, didn't you even have the courage to tell them"

Even if Mom and Dad knew, they wouldn't dare to confront you directly, for your sake and mine. They would continue to support you, providing you with the best of everything, allowing you to remain Miss Zhao.

When you were calculating Yang Ziyì, your father was silently settling things for you! When you gave birth in France, your father already knew. You didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.

What makes you think that because you spent some money, you can give birth in the best private hospital That you can so easily obtain citizenship for your child That you coincidentally found a Chinese nanny That you can just take a leave of absence whenever you want Is the school yours Don't forget, it was your dad who donated ten thousand books from China!

Now that you've brought your child back, you still want to keep using my parents and take all the benefits for yourself! What gives you the right Do you even have any shame

When the ripple of her voice fell, both Wu Yong and Wan Gui Fen blushed. They truly didn't know what kind of suffering their daughter had endured; it was all a performance she orchestrated herself.

Wu Junyi was both ashamed and heartbroken, even feeling anger towards his mother's greed and selfishness that had brought them to this state. He felt he would never be able to face Lian Yi again.

Now, Xianrou is only silently weeping. All her thoughts are laid bare before the closest people to her, leaving her feeling utterly ashamed.

But she hated the ripples that her actions had caused. If looks could kill, Ripples would have died a thousand deaths by now.

"Don't glare at me! And don't even think about tripping me up. If you do anything to upset me, I'll give the recording to the Yang family and ruin all your plans!"

In the ripple's eyes, there was only indifference.

Another knock, “knock, knock, knock,” echoed through the air.inished speaking, and Lian Ri let out a mouthful of turbid air before saying:I suspect these women have been murdered."Rip!"Sun Shanshan gasped, her surprise was evident. Because Wang Ge's list wasn't...
