d the other person directly, sending them crashing to the ground. The other person's face swelled visibly.Before Yúnrou could react, Liàn pulled the other person's chestnut curls and dragged them to t..."Whom are you looking for"

Wu Junyi looked up at the tall man and asked.

"He's my assistant, can I ask him to come in"

Zhao Fenglin said in a low voice.

"Oh, come in!"

The man walked in, scanned the room, nodded at Zhao Fenglin, and then spoke.

"Mr. Zhao, the hotel has been booked."

I understand!

Zhao Fenglin immediately stood up, holding his wife's hand, and said to Wu Yong's couple:

"Today, my husband and I acted rashly by showing up uninvited, causing disruption to your whole family. Our child also needs time to process this, so please give her some space. We're not in a hurry."

All we hope for is to spend more time with our children. Although this is something everyone wishes wouldn't happen, it has come to pass and all we can do is try our best to minimize the harm.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao is right."

Wu Yong felt a bit inferior in front of Zhao Fenglin, and besides, what he said was right, so he could only nod in agreement.

Before leaving, Zhou Mengyu cast a wistful glance at the closed door one last time, and finally left the Wu family.

After the Zhao family couple left, Wu Yong lit a cigarette and took a slow drag. He hadn't smoked in a long time. Speaking of it, their Wu family had gotten the better end of the deal this time. Raising a daughter, his family certainly hadn't spoiled her as much as the Zhaos had.

Wan Guifen felt guilty and when she saw Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu, she thought she had been exposed. Her heart was in her throat. When she learned that they too had just discovered the baby mix-up and that it was the nurse's negligence, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

After all, her hands were trembling when she switched the babies. She fumbled with the bracelet on the baby's wrist for a while and wasn't sure if anyone else had seen her.

Luckily, seventeen years have passed since the incident. The hospital where she gave birth has expanded, and doctors and nurses have changed countless times. Plus, over the years, she has cultivated an image of loving her eldest daughter, which at least clears her of suspicion.

Just then, the tightly shut door creaked open and Rabbit-Eyed Wu Lianyi stepped out. The other three immediately focused their gazes on her face.

Wan Guifen was the most eager, taking a step forward to pull Wu Lianyi's hand and have her sit on the sofa before speaking:

"Daughter, this came as quite a surprise to us. Your father and I only found out today. We want to hear your thoughts on this. What do you think"

Then Wu Lianyi let out a soft sigh, then said with red eyes:

“I was raised by them, though they called me their daughter, to me they were strangers. I imagine the girl named Xianrou felt the same way.”

The first half of the sentence made Wu Yong and Wan Guifen very happy. If Lian Yi was inclined towards them, it would only benefit them without any harm. However, the second sentence made them feel downhearted because it was the truth, especially for Wan Guifen.

But I also see that my parents' family is in good condition, and they are very determined to adopt me back. After all, the fact that I am their daughter cannot be changed.

I thought about it, and it's better to get along with them first. If possible, I'm planning to take the exam for Capital University. This time, accompanying my younger brother there has broadened my horizons. If I have the chance to go there, it would be a better development opportunity, and Zhao family will definitely cover the tuition fees, which will lighten the burden on my parents.

Besides, let's temporarily avoid the Zhao family from Shanghai for now. They would be better to Xiaorou (纖柔妹妹) as well, after all, they raised her just like me. They are definitely partial to their own children, and she can continue to enjoy a good education.

As for my younger brother, I will definitely encourage him to take the exam and go to the capital in the future, so that our family can be reunited there.

Wu Lianyi's words made Wu Yong and Wan Guifen feel much better, and their faces also showed smiles.

After all, with parents as good as these, anyone else would have left long ago. But in such a short time, the daughter has considered so much, not just herself, but also their biological daughter, and even those without blood ties, like them and their son, are included in her future plans.

"Ripples, you're doing well! You've always been a good daughter to us. Since you've thought this through, your mother and I respect your decision. We may not be much, but we hope that you and Junyi will have a bright future together. As for Linrou, we'll just let things take their course."

Wu Yong takes this matter quite lightly, after all, he already has a son. Now that his adopted daughter is willing to support them, it's a win-win situation. As for how to treat his biological daughter, he'll know after meeting her. He also understands that this daughter probably won't be too close to them.

After all, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. How could she possibly look down on an ordinary working-class family when her own daughter has grown up in such a privileged environment

Wu Junyi, who had remained silent throughout the conversation, finally spoke up.

"Mom and Dad, I feel like all of this is happening in a novel!"

Wan Gui Fen glared at her silly son, tapped his forehead, and then asked:

How was your experience at the IMO Summer Camp this time

"It's alright, my older sister keeps watching me do my homework every day."

Wu Junyi immediately complained that he hadn't even enjoyed his summer vacation.

"Hmph! If I hadn't been watching you, you would have finished training with the tenth place ranking at summer camp. With that ranking, getting into a key high school was a sure thing."

Wu Lianyi glanced sideways at this itchy fellow, deliberately saying in front of Wu Yong and Wan Guifen.

"You child, your sister is doing this for your own good. Listen to your sister!"

From initially looking heartbroken, Wan Guifen instantly changed her expression and beamed with pride that her son got into a key high school. At the same time, she sternly reminded him to listen to Lian Yi's advice.

Wu Junyi was simply miserable. He had originally thought he could escape his increasingly violent older sister, only to find that both his parents were still keeping an eye on him.

The Wu family was harmonious, but Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu, who had checked into the hotel, felt a little out of place.

Especially Zhou Mengyu, thinking of that girl who looked exactly like herself, her nose ached, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Maple, isn't that child resentful of us"

"You're overthinking it. The child is just having a hard time accepting it for now."

Zhao Fenglin's mood wasn't good either, but he still comforted her.

"I just saw Lian Yi's bedroom. Even though it's a separate room, it's too small, not even as big as Xian Rou's walk-in closet. And the inside is so plain, with such a hard bed, I don't know how the child sleeps."

As a mother, she felt her daughter had been wronged.

"You've seen the Wu family's conditions, they have two children. It would be good enough to give the girl an independent room. When Lianyi returns to the Zhao family, we will compensate her well."

Zhao Fenglin said firmly.

"Um!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the tall assistant who had been standing there earlier knocked on the door and handed Zhao Fenglin a file bag. He then stood aside and reported:

"General Zhao, according to the investigation, Mrs. Zhao's premature birth that year was man-made, and your emergency recall was also intentional." of troops stationed on the border, colluded with remnants of the Panlong Kingdom, attempting to overthrow the Phoenix imperial authority. Their crimes deserve extermination of the nine clans! However...
