Just then, An Chong's phone rang. He opened it and found that his secretary had sent him investigation materials about the Qiu family, saying that the situation of the attending physician and nurses at the hospital was still under investigation.

After all, more than 20 years have passed, and the hospital staff has changed frequently, making it quite difficult to investigate many things.

An Chong opened the investigation file on the Qiu family and was somewhat surprised after reading it. It turned out that Qiu Zhanye, the father, was actually a professor in the Department of Archaeology, and Shu Jiaohe, the mother, was a professor in the Department of Literature. The two taught at the same prestigious university. Their eldest son, Qiu Li, was now a partner in a law firm. Each of them was an extremely outstanding figure in their respective fields. They also had a younger brother, Qiu Shi, who was in high school and was a top student who consistently ranked first in his grade.

Just as An Ling said in her heart, such a family has no reason to deliberately replace their daughter.

An Chong forwarded the message to his parents and sent a message to his secretary saying that they no longer needed to investigate the hospital matter.

The owner of that hospital had a close relationship with the An family. Since it wasn't a deliberate switch, and more than twenty years had passed, pursuing the matter further wouldn't change anything. There was no need to strain the relationship between the two sides over this. After weighing all the factors, An Chong decided not to pursue the hospital's responsibility.

An Ling felt something was strange. Why didn't her parents or older brother ask her why she suddenly suspected her and Qiu Nian's true identities? She had even made up several excuses beforehand, but they were all useless.

Forget it, she's too lazy to think about it anymore. Anyway, she's already completed her first task. The next task is to reveal her and Qiu Nian's true identities.

An Ling wanted to give the An family and the Qiu family some time to learn the truth before making it public. That's why she didn't secretly post the news online immediately after receiving the paternity test results.

According to the novel's plot, after learning the truth, the An family took the initiative to contact the Qiu family and quickly revealed Qiu Nian's true identity as the daughter of a wealthy family. So, in theory, she didn't need to worry about the second task; she just needed to wait patiently.

But for An Ling right now, time is life! She has to get the An family to contact the Qiu family as soon as possible.

“Mom and Dad, Big Brother, I know you’re worried about my feelings,” An Ling said after a moment of thought, feigning a pitiful look. “But I understand. You don’t need to worry about me. Just tell the Qiu family the truth quickly.”

[Hurry up! Hurry up! For the sake of my precious life, let's go and confront the Qiu family!]

A tear fell from An Ling's face, and she quickly lowered her head to wipe it away, as if afraid that others would see it.

"Just as you couldn't bear to tell me this, I also couldn't bear to see you separated from your own daughter and sister. Since my older brother said he would still treat me as his own sister, then I feel the same way. In my heart, you are my most beloved mom, dad, and older brother."

[Excellent tea!]

I've already made so much tea, so please drink it!

Let us raise a toast to welcome the heroine back to the palace!

The An family members' mouths twitched. Luckily, An Ling was keeping her head down, otherwise she would definitely have noticed something.

They were discussing a serious topic, but An Ling's inner thoughts completely ruined the serious atmosphere. However, the An family did not overlook a very important point in An Ling's thoughts: her and Qiu Nian's identities seemed to be related to An Ling's life safety.

Although the An family didn't know the exact connection between them, since An Ling said that quickly confronting the Qiu family could save her life, they naturally had to do as she said.

But just how urgent is this "urgent"?

Pei Yuning tentatively asked, "Then, shall I contact Qiu Nian tomorrow?"

“Yes, I’ll listen to Mom.” An Ling nodded.

[Nice! Mom's the best!]

Feeling relieved that her life was safe, An Ling finally felt a little better.

The emo feeling she had before because she learned that she was not An Jia’s biological daughter has subsided a lot. Thinking optimistically, since she can treat Yan Yu in a normal way now, maybe she can also control herself from becoming that troublemaker?

Even if she really can't control herself, she can just keep taking on roles and shut herself away from the film set to avoid meeting the An and Qiu families, right?

An Ling felt that as long as she didn't cause trouble, didn't ruin the relationship between the An family and Qiu Nian, and didn't follow the original plot, she should be able to change everyone's ending, right?

No, it's not that she should, it's that she has to change everyone's fate!

Not only the An family, but also the Qiu family; she absolutely cannot let the plots in the novel come true.

Otherwise, what's the point of my rebirth?

Seeing that An Ling had agreed, Pei Yuning immediately opened WeChat and arranged to meet Qiu Nian the next day.

The meeting place was a very private restaurant. The two sat facing each other. Pei Yuning looked carefully at Qiu Nian's face, suppressed her sadness, and spoke cautiously.

"Qiu Nian, I... can I call you Xiao Nian?"

Qiu Nian nodded, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, and took a deep breath, saying:

"The results are in, right?"

Pei Yuning was taken aback.

“I know you all heard An Ling’s thoughts. She pulled out my hair that day to do a paternity test, right?” Qiu Nian was already very smart. Now that Pei Yuning had specially arranged to meet her and asked her to call her Xiao Nian, the paternity test results were already quite obvious.

"I am your biological daughter, right?"

Qiu Nian asked directly, but her expression was not as calm as her tone. She almost had to take a deep breath to suppress the bitter feeling in her heart after saying just one sentence.

Pei Yuning nodded, took a file folder from her bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qiu Nian.

Qiu Nian stared at the file folder for a long time without moving, and finally opened it and took out four paternity test reports.

Although Qiu Nian had two days to adjust after separating from An Ling and the others the day before yesterday, and had done a lot of mental preparation, she still had some indescribable feelings when the moment of truth finally arrived.

For example, why did this happen to me of all people? How should I tell my parents? Will their attitude towards me change in the future?

Or, to take an even more extreme example, should she tell them at all?

If she were more selfish, she really wouldn't want to say anything, she really wouldn't want to tell them anything.

Those were clearly her family members; they had lived happily together for so long, and now that life was about to be destroyed? Why was fate playing such a cruel trick on her?

Seeing Qiu Nian's eyes slowly redden as she stared at the paternity test report, Pei Yuning was very worried. This was indeed too difficult for the two children to accept.

"Xiao Nian, I contacted you alone today to ask for your thoughts. When would be a convenient time for us to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Qiu?"

"Could we not meet?" Qiu Nian said softly.
