Who says real and fake daughters can’t be sisters?

After pouring the tea, Zhang's mother sat across from them uncomfortably and asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Ji Zhengsong considered his words carefully and said, "We had a daughter who was kidnapped by human traffickers. We have been looking for her for many years. Recently, the traffickers were caught. We learned that the child had a fever and was abandoned in Lake City by that group of people."

Mother Zhang felt dizzy and her body shook unconsciously. She looked up in surprise and looked at the uninvited guests who came to her house. She asked, "Are you saying that Yuanluo is your child?"

"Based on the information we have so far, we are about 90% sure, so can we meet her?"

"The eldest girl is not at home. You won't be able to see her today."

Shen Yunqing thought that the family was reluctant to let the child see anyone, so she said quickly, "I know you picked up this child. You saved her life. I will always be grateful to you. I can double the money you spent on her over the years. Can you let me see her? Even if she refuses to recognize me, it will be fine if I know she is still fine."

As a mother, how could Zhang's mother not understand her? Listening to Shen Yunqing's words, Zhang's mother couldn't help but tear up. She explained, "It's not that we don't want you to see the child, but our family is not doing well. Yuanluo is sensible and went to the provincial capital to work during the summer vacation to earn her high school tuition. She is really not at home now."

As Zhang's mother spoke, she was afraid that they were too anxious, so she went into the house and took out a photo album, opened it and pointed to a photo to show them.

The girl in the photo was wearing an apricot-yellow long skirt. She looked a little dark and thin, but she was smiling brightly. She was standing under a pear tree in full bloom, smiling brightly.

When Father Ji saw the photo for the first time, he couldn't help but say, "They look so alike. They look like you when you were young, and also like An Xin."

Ji Zhengsong and Shen Yunqing seemed to have determined at that moment that this must be their daughter. The assistant at the side glanced at the photo and couldn't help but sigh that she was so similar to the general manager, as if they were carved from the same mold. With so much overlapping information, it seemed that the lost little lady had really been found.

After looking at the reactions of several people, Zhang's mother guessed that it was almost certain. She felt reluctant and worried.

"Were you really not throwing Yuanluo away? When I found her, she was thrown into a pear orchard. She was only wrapped in a blanket and had a high fever. We asked around for a long time but no one had ever thrown her away. Her father said that maybe someone didn't like her because she was a girl and threw her away on purpose. We happened to have been married for several years and had no children, so we adopted her."

Shen Yunqing couldn't help crying after listening to what Zhang's mother said. She said, "The child was really snatched away. I was holding the child in the mall, and a few people rushed out and took the child away. I have been looking for her for fifteen years. She was thrown away by those damn human traffickers."

"Then can you let Yuanluo continue to go to school?"

As soon as Zhang's mother finished speaking, Ji Zhengsong raised his head in surprise, and Shen Yunqing's crying stopped abruptly.

Zhang's mother misunderstood and quickly said, "Although Yuanluo is a girl, she has very good grades and has always been in the top three in her grade. She is also very well behaved and sensible."

Mother Zhang was not overthinking it. Such things had happened in the nearby village before. One daughter was lost when she was just born. They raised her with great difficulty until she was sixteen or seventeen years old. When her biological parents came to find her, they cried sincerely and said that the child was lost.

As a result, she just thought that her son would grow up in a few years and it would be time for him to get married. She thought that bringing another sister back would give her more gifts to support her younger brother. She promised everything well before she went back, but after she went back, she tortured the child.

After Ji Zhengsong reacted, he felt for the first time that he was a petty person.

He had a big business and had met many different kinds of people. Listening to the unfinished meaning in Zhang's mother's words, he vaguely remembered some bad legends. He also knew that his daughter's adoptive mother must have really loved her child, so she had planned so many things for her daughter.

"Don't worry, our family still has some assets. We are not the kind of family that has to sell their daughters in exchange for dowry for their sons. As long as Yuanluo wants to go to school, no matter how old she is, we will support her."

Shen Yunqing at the side also understood and said, "Yes, yes, yes, if you are worried, you can go to Pingzhou with us. You will understand when you see it. Our family has no shortage of money to raise a daughter."

Soon, Zhang's father, who heard the news, came back from outside. Then the two sides chatted for a long time and agreed to go to the provincial capital to find Zhang Yuanluo together the next day.

So, when Zhang Yuanluo continued her boring work day after day for more than a month as a ruthless picking machine, someone called out from outside: "Zhang Yuanluo, someone is here to see you."

Zhang Yuanluo felt strange. She didn't know anyone in the provincial capital except Sister Xiaoxia, so why would someone come to see her?

After repeatedly confirming that it was me who was being called, I said something to my team leader, took off my work clothes and walked out. As soon as I walked out of the factory, I saw my parents standing at the door, followed by a few strangers.

Zhang Yuanluo felt a little uneasy: "Mom and Dad, is there something wrong at home?"

"No, no, I just came to see you, and..." Zhang's mother said, but she didn't know how to continue.

Father Zhang looked at Yuanluo, his eyes reddened: "You've lost weight, didn't you eat well?"

Then he looked around uncomfortably and said, "Is there a place to talk? I want to tell you something."

Zhang Yuanluo looked at her parents with red eyes, and then looked at the middle-aged couple who were following them. The man was still relatively steady, but the woman was already leaning in the man's arms, her shoulders shaking from crying.

Zhang Yuanluo vaguely guessed something and wanted to speak, but she finally said, "Let's go to the cafeteria. Everyone is working, and there is no one in the cafeteria right now."

So the group walked to the cafeteria, found a table in the corner, and sat down.

Then Zhang Yuanluo listened to Zhang's father and mother and Ji's parents piece together the cause of the matter.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuanluo was silent for a long time. Tears could not help but flow down her cheeks. She murmured, "It's great that I was not abandoned by my parents."

Yes, Zhang Yuanluo had known for a long time that she was adopted by Zhang's parents. Although her parents had never told her, her grandparents and her great-grandparents all loved her very much, and the villagers would never mention her background in front of her, but when they gossiped about her behind her back, they never forgot to avoid talking about their own child.

Therefore, after the sister from the next village was adopted by her biological parents in exchange for a dowry, she had a quarrel with her friend, who yelled in anger: "You were picked up by my uncle and aunt, and you will be adopted by them in exchange for a dowry sooner or later."

Then several people started fighting. After they returned, they were all punished by the adults, but no one tacitly mentioned why they fought. After being punished, Zhang Yuanluo had a high fever, and then he was fine.

Everyone thought she didn't know, but she was the only one who knew that she actually took it seriously. She vaguely remembered that when she was younger, someone told her that when she grew up she should be filial to her parents. Her life was saved by her parents. She vaguely remembered that time when her usually gentle mother had a big fight with someone.

So it was on that day that she accepted the fact that she was not her parents' biological daughter. From that day on, she anxiously waited for the fate of her sister from the neighboring village to befall her. She even imagined that if she refused to go back, would her parents stand in front of her and support her.

The knife hanging over her head finally fell to the ground today. Fortunately, she was not abandoned. Her biological parents seemed to love her very much and had been looking for her for fifteen years.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanluo even had an unreal sense of happiness. She had never been abandoned. Everyone loved her. It was great.

The parents on both sides looked at her in deep thought and no one interrupted her, waiting for her to slowly digest the news. After a long time, they finally heard Zhang Yuanluo speak again.

"Let's do a paternity test to save everyone from being disappointed."

After these words were spoken, the parents on both sides calmed down a lot. In the end, it was Father Ji who made the final decision and said, "Okay."

Then Zhang Yuanluo asked for leave, and the group went to the paternity test site again.

Although the results have not come out yet, Shen Yunqing seems to be certain that this is her daughter. Mother and daughter are connected by heart, and she determined that this was her daughter the first time she saw Zhang Yuanluo.

So she couldn't help wanting to cultivate a good relationship with her daughter right now, so she pulled Zhang Yuanluo's hand and said, "Can I take you shopping?"

Zhang Yuanluo said, "Please send me back to the factory. What if it's not the right one? I still have to go back to earn my tuition."

Seeing her firm attitude, the few people didn't say much, but just suppressed their grief and sent her back.
