The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"Great-Grandma, may your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains!"

May you stay healthy and happy every day!

Mengmeng presented the birthday gift to Madam Xie and said in a sweet and gentle voice.

Madam Xie smiled so hard her eyes were narrowed, filled with doting affection and pride.

Unable to resist showing off to the bigwigs around him, he said, "Mengmeng isn't just a guest; she's practically a member of the Xie family, my great-granddaughter!"

The bigwigs present all expressed their admiration.

Some people disagreed, saying that Mengmeng was also their great-granddaughter.

Sweetie watched all this, her heart burning with jealousy.

The stark contrast between Madam Xie's coldness towards him and her doting affection for Mengmeng is striking.

This made Tian Tian feel humiliated and resentful.

Her eyes darkened, and her heart was filled with resentment.

at this time,

Mengmeng saw Tiantian in the corner and was slightly taken aback.

She was surprised for a moment.

Then he remembered their previous agreement.

As long as Sweetie stops causing trouble, the truth about her impersonating her will not be revealed.

So, Mengmeng looked away and focused on acting cute with Madam Xie.

However, Sweetie misunderstood Mengmeng's gaze.

She felt that Mengmeng was deliberately ignoring her, even with a hint of contempt, as if she were mocking her awkward situation.

Anger burned fiercely in Sweetie's heart.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, her anger burning fiercely within her.

She will never let Mengmeng off easily!

Lu Rongsheng, who was standing to the side, finally saw Mengmeng's face clearly.

He was deeply shaken.

The little girl in front of me was not only cute and pretty, but most importantly, her features were becoming increasingly similar to those of the adorable old photo I got from the orphanage.

It's almost exactly how the child in the photo looks when he's grown up.

If Mom sees the adorable little one from the Gu family, she will be incredibly excited and overjoyed.

However, after looking around, he discovered that his mother was not there.

He couldn't help but frown, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

The mother had been talking about wanting to see Mengmeng, and when she learned that Mengmeng would be attending her great-grandmother's birthday banquet, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep.

Logically speaking, she couldn't have left without a reason.

A sense of unease rose in Lu Rongsheng's heart.

at this time,

The sound of something falling came from outside, interrupting the conversation in the hall.

Madam Xie frowned and immediately ordered someone to investigate what had happened.

After a while,

The maid helped Xie Qingyi, whose face was contorted in pain and who was limping, into the hall.

She had obvious abrasions on her legs and walked with difficulty, but her eyes showed determination.

It turned out that she was trapped in the second-floor bathroom and no one answered her calls.

Worried about missing out on Mengmeng again

In desperation, he jumped directly from the second floor.

Despite the excruciating pain, she insisted on coming.

She didn't want to miss Mengmeng again.

When the maid tried to help her up, she didn't care about herself.

He asked anxiously, "Is Mengmeng still there? Is the Mengmeng that Beiling brought still here?"

The maid nodded and replied, "Yes, they're both here. Both Miss Mengmeng are here."

Xie Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this answer.

A look of relief appeared on his face, and his gaze became firm and calm.

She knew it was time to unravel all the truths and mysteries.

Xie Qingyi walked into the hall covered in bruises, and Lu Rongsheng stepped forward to help her with a concerned expression.

"Mom, I just saw Mengmeng, she looks exactly like the child in the photo."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyi's emotions instantly surged to an extreme level.

She couldn't help but grip Lu Rongsheng's arm tightly, her nails even piercing his skin.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.

His eyes eagerly gazed at the small figure in the crowd, so excited he could barely stand.

She finally saw Mengmeng!!

She recognized that familiar face at a glance.

She looks exactly like the child in the photo!

Xie Qingyi stepped forward excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

With a slight tremor, she pressed on, "Mengmeng, did you...did you save a Mr. Lu at the gate of the orphanage?"

I am Mr. Lu's wife... I have seen your photo.

It's you, isn't it?

Xie Qingyi's voice was filled with deep anticipation and longing.

His eyes sparkled with disbelief and excitement.

Uncle Lu's wife recognized her at a glance!

Feeling both touched and aggrieved, Mengmeng's eyes welled up with tears.

She glanced at Tian Tian, ​​who was standing in the corner, her face pale.

Thinking of the promise we made last time, I hesitated for a moment.

She didn't admit it immediately, but silently lowered her head and remained silent.

Madam Xie and the bigwigs present were all drawn to Xie Qingyi's words.

After all, Xie Qingyi just said that her savior was the child she brought with her, so why is she now saying that Gu's Mengmeng is the one?

This aroused everyone's doubts.

Mr. Chi frowned slightly and directly raised his question:

"What exactly happened? Which of the two adorable girls is the real savior?"

Xie Qingyi took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement.

He began to explain: "Two months ago, Mingxuan was in a car accident near the Hongshan Orphanage in Jiangcheng. When he was injured, a little girl saved him, helped him stop the bleeding, and called for help."

Mingxuan was very grateful, so he left a jade pendant, saying that he would use the pendant to adopt her.

As a result, when Mingxuan went to pick her up, the girl he saw was holding a jade pendant and could describe the events of that night in detail, but there were still some strange things about her.

Because she held a jade pendant, we accepted her.

Xie Qingyi paused, then looked at Mengmeng with a complicated expression.

"However, the Mengmeng we brought back is not the same as the old photo of Mengmeng that we got from the orphanage."

And now, I see Gu Jia's Mengmeng, and she looks exactly like the child in the photo...

So now I want to find out what the truth is.

Xie Qingyi's explanation made everyone present fall into deep thought.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Chi calmly spoke.

"Why don't we take out the photos and have everyone take a look and help identify them?"

Xie Qingyi looked troubled upon hearing this.

She sighed and said helplessly, "That photo... I kept it safe, but for some reason, it suddenly disappeared. I've searched the whole house but can't find it."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

They exchanged doubtful glances.

This is too much of a coincidence.

When Tian Tian saw that Meng Meng remained silent and did not immediately accuse her, she quickly realized what was going on.

Sweetie realized that Lu Mingxuan was not present, which was the perfect opportunity for her to continue denying it.

She gritted her teeth and pretended to be wronged and victimized.

Suddenly, she stepped forward and pushed Mengmeng down, then stood in front of her and cried out in a sobbing voice, "Mommy, I'm really Mengmeng, I saved Daddy!"

As for that photo, it's of her—

"It was fake Mengmeng who deliberately placed it there to cause a misunderstanding and make you doubt my identity!"

She cried and accused Mengmeng, as if she were an innocent child who had been framed.

Mengmeng was suddenly pushed and fell to the ground.

Hearing Tian Tian's words, a wave of heartache and grievance welled up inside me.

Tears streamed down her face.

Mengmeng never imagined that Tiantian would so ruthlessly slander her in public.

Sweetie has really changed; she's no longer the kind and lovely Sweetie she used to be...

A flash of anger crossed Xie Beiling's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and picked up Mengmeng.

She glared coldly at Tian Tian, ​​her tone carrying a strong warning: "Whether you're real or not, how dare you push Mengmeng? Just wait, I'll make you pay!"

Immediately, Xie Beiling gently comforted Mengmeng, whispering, "Mengmeng, don't be afraid, Uncle is here. Tell us what happened, okay?"

Mengmeng wiped away her tears, her gaze filled with complex emotions as she looked at Tiantian.

Her tearful eyes held a hint of grievance, yet also revealed a touch of determination.

She remembered the meticulous care and protection her brothers and uncles had given her, and her courage gradually grew.

"Sweetie,"

Are you really going to keep making the same mistake?

This gentle yet firm rhetorical question startled everyone present and sent a chill down Tian Tian's spine.

Mengmeng's slightly hurt gaze revealed determination as she awaited Tiantian's honest apology.

She wanted to resolve the misunderstanding as amicably as possible...

however,

Sweetie gritted her teeth and said firmly, "I did nothing wrong, what I said is the truth."

She turned to Xie Qingyi with a wronged expression, her tone slightly coquettish.

"Mom, you have to believe me, I'm the real Mengmeng! I'm the one who saved Dad!"

Xie Qingyi was stunned for a few seconds.

She looked at Mengmeng, whose eyes revealed a clarity and grievance that didn't seem as bad as Tiantian had described.

Xie Qingyi trusted Mengmeng more!

That indescribable, unwavering trust!

Mengmeng didn't say anything, she just looked at Xie Qingyi quietly and with a wronged expression.

She thought to herself that if Xie Qingyi really chose to believe Tiantian, then she wouldn't say anything more.

Let everything continue to go wrong...

She left quietly and continued to live in the Gu family, no longer having any contact with Tian Tian or the Lu family.

Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate,

A deep, weathered voice, filled with anger and resentment, came from the doorway:

"Sweetie, how long are you going to keep pretending?!"

Sweetie's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body trembled involuntarily.

A strong sense of fear welled up inside me.

She's the director of the orphanage!

The headmistress, who knows the whole truth, has arrived!
