Chapter 711 My Daughter Yiyi
The word rolled on her tongue, but she couldn't utter it smoothly because of her immense anticipation and fear of disappointment.

Qin Luo nodded heavily, his tone resolute.

"The time and place match perfectly! Didn't Zhang Dawei and the others say themselves that the children were likely switched at birth in the hospital? What a coincidence! Yiyi is very likely the biological daughter who was taken away by them back then, or rather... switched!"

"My daughter... my Yiyi..."

Chen Jinhua suddenly stood up from the sofa, her body swaying slightly with excitement. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, but this time they were not tears of despair, but tears filled with the ecstasy of regaining what she had lost and disbelief.

"Is she in the hospital?"
How is she? Is she badly hurt? Quick! Take me to see her! Now! Immediately!

She was almost incoherent, grabbing Qin Luo's arm with such force that her nails nearly dug into his flesh. At that moment, all notions of appearance and manners had vanished from her mind.

Twenty years of longing and searching, twenty years of regret and pain, at this moment it seems that they have finally found an outlet and a clear goal!

"Okay! We'll be right there!"

Qin Luo understood her feelings at that moment. Without hesitation, he reached out and helped her up. The two quickly left Yunshan Residence, got into the Maybach, and the car sped off like an arrow, cutting through the twilight and heading towards the hospital.

……

Inside a luxurious single room at the hospital.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the clean glass windows, casting a warm and soft orange glow on the room and slightly dispelling the cold smell of the disinfectant.

Zhang Yi sat on the edge of the bed, her complexion a little rosier than before, but the trauma and confusion left by the betrayal of her loved ones were still clearly visible between her brows.

She looked at her friend, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, intently peeling an apple, and spoke softly.

"Xiaoyu, was that Brother Qin Luo on the phone just now?"

"Ah."

Xiaoyu nodded, skillfully cutting the peeled apple into small pieces and placing them on the porcelain plate beside her, but her brows furrowed slightly, showing a hint of confusion.

"It was Brother Luo who called. He asked about your discharge from the hospital tomorrow, and then... he specifically asked again about your birthday and which hospital you were born in. It feels... a bit strange. Didn't he ask that once before?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yiyi managed a faint smile at the corners of her pale lips, looking at her friend with a hint of teasing.

"is it?
He seems so concerned about me? Could it be... that he's using asking me as an excuse to actually want to chat with me more?

"Oh dear! Yiyi, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xiaoyu's cheeks instantly flushed red, like clouds dyed by the setting sun. She gently pushed Zhang Yiyi, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, and denied it outright.

"No...no, that's not true!"
He was just asking casually! He and I... are just ordinary friends!

Despite saying that, the girl couldn't help but picture Qin Luo's calm and handsome face, and how he had lent a helping hand at crucial moments time and time again. Her heart skipped a beat for no reason, and the heat at the base of her ears lingered for a long time.

She quickly lowered her head, pretending to tidy up the fruit plate, trying to hide her embarrassment.

at this time--

"boom!"

The ward door was pushed open hastily from the outside, breaking the brief, relaxed atmosphere inside the room.

Xiaoyu and Zhang Yiyi looked up at the same time and saw Qin Luo walk in first, followed closely by a middle-aged woman who was panting and had slightly disheveled hair, but whose outstanding temperament and beauty were still undeniable.

As soon as the woman entered the room, her gaze almost instantly passed over Qin Luo, and like a precise radar, it locked firmly onto the pale-faced girl in the blue and white striped hospital gown on the hospital bed!

The moment Chen Jinhua saw Zhang Yiyi's face clearly, he was struck as if by an invisible lightning bolt and froze on the spot!

It's so similar...it's so similar!

Although the girl had become much thinner and more haggard due to her injuries and emotional distress, the contours of her eyebrows and eyes, especially her clear and lively eyes that were now looking at her with astonishment, were almost identical to those in her photos when she was young!

A throbbing and resonance originating from the depths of his blood, like a surging tide, instantly swept through every cell of Chen Jinhua's body!
It was an intuition that couldn't be described in words, a confirmation from the depths of the soul that transcended rational analysis!

It's her! It must be her!
Chen Jinhua's heart was pounding wildly, almost bursting out of her chest.

She suppressed her almost uncontrollable emotions and walked step by step to the bedside. Her voice trembled slightly due to extreme tension and anticipation. She looked at Zhang Yiyi and asked clearly, word by word.

"You...you are Zhang Yiyi?"

Zhang Yiyi was somewhat taken aback by the sudden appearance of the powerful stranger. She nodded subconsciously, her voice hesitant and wary.

"Yes... I'm Zhang Yiyi. May I ask who you are? What can I do for you?"

Xiaoyu, who was standing to the side, finally recognized Chen Jinhua's identity after her initial shock!
After all, Chen Tianshao was "famous" among the rich second-generation in Yanjing, and his mother, who was the general manager of Douyin and had a powerful background, was not unknown either.

Xiaoyu's expression instantly turned serious, her eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.

She immediately stood up and stepped in front of Zhang Yiyi's hospital bed, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, glaring at Chen Jinhua without any politeness, her tone sharp.

"It's you?! Young Master Chen's mother?! What are you doing here?! Haven't you thought your son has harmed Yiyi enough?! Are you unhappy that Yiyi didn't die, and you've come here to wipe her out?!"

As she spoke, her angry gaze turned to Qin Luo, filled with deep disappointment and reproach.

"Qin Luo! What do you mean by this?! I kindly asked you to come and help, and you brought this woman with you?! Do you even know who she is?! Are you here to help Yiyi or to harm her?!"

When Zhang Yiyi heard the words "Chen Tianshao's mother," her body trembled violently, and her face turned ashen white!
The fear and humiliation Chen Tianshao had inflicted on her were like a cold, venomous snake coiling around her heart again, causing her to involuntarily clutch the thin blanket around her, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes as she looked at Chen Jinhua filled with terror, disgust, and a hint of barely perceptible despair.

Could it be... that the Zhang family wasn't enough, and now the Chen family is also trying to force her to her death?

The atmosphere in the ward instantly plummeted to freezing point, filled with tension.

Faced with Xiaoyu's accusations and Zhang Yiyi's fearful gaze, Qin Luo knew that they had misunderstood each other deeply.

He stepped forward, standing between the tense Xiaoyu and Chen Jinhua, and calmly spoke, his voice steady and powerful, instantly drawing everyone's attention. "Xiaoyu, Yiyi, please calm down and let me finish what I have to say."

He turned his gaze to the trembling girl on the hospital bed, his tone softening and carrying a reassuring quality.

“Yiyi, I brought Ms. Chen here with no ill intentions. On the contrary, we may have brought you some crucial information about your background.”

He paused, organized his thoughts, and made sure he was clear and unambiguous.

"Here's the thing.

Ms. Chen recently experienced a tragedy when her son, Chen Tianshao, passed away.

But while dealing with the aftermath, she discovered a shocking truth—Chen Tianshao was not her biological son.

This news was like another bomb, exploding in Xiaoyu and Zhang Yiyi's ears, leaving them both stunned.

Chen Jinhua spoke at the right moment, her gaze never leaving Zhang Yiyi. Her eyes were filled with indescribable complexity, a mixture of guilt, heartache, ecstasy, and an almost humble plea. She added, her voice choked with emotion.

"Yes... Tian Shao... is not my biological child."

When I gave birth at Renxin Hospital, my baby might have been switched at birth.

For the past twenty years, I have been raising other people's children, while my own flesh and blood... have been lost and their whereabouts unknown..."

Qin Luo picked up the conversation, looking intently at Zhang Yiyi, and threw out the most crucial core deduction.

“Yiyi, we found that your birthday is December 7th, and you were born in Renxin Hospital, which is exactly the same as the time and place of Ms. Chen’s delivery!”
In addition, there's the paternity test your adoptive parents just provided, proving you and Zhang Dawei are not related by blood, and their mention of the possibility of a 'hospital mix-up'...

He took a deep breath and uttered that earth-shattering conclusion.

"All the clues point to one strong possibility—Yiyi, you are very likely the biological daughter that Ms. Chen was switched at birth in the hospital and who has been living away from home!"

"what?!"

Zhang Yiyi and Xiaoyu exclaimed in shock at the same time, their faces filled with extreme shock and disbelief. Their brains seemed to completely shut down at this moment, unable to process the wave after wave of increasingly impactful information that followed!
Zhang Yiyi stared wide-eyed at Qin Luo, then at the tearful, emotionally charged noblewoman in front of her, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her throat!

She is Chen Jinhua's...biological daughter?
That powerful woman, the one she'd seen in the news before, who was also Chen Tianshao's mother... Chen Jinhua?

This...how is this possible?! This is absurd!

However, while Xiaoyu was shocked, she suddenly remembered Qin Luo's "suspicious" behavior of repeatedly confirming Zhang Yiyi's birthday and hospital of birth on the phone. Instantly, it was as if her Ren and Du meridians had been opened, and everything made sense!

She covered her mouth, looked at Zhang Yiyi, then at Chen Jinhua, and the more she looked, the more she felt that the two did indeed have a striking resemblance in their eyes and brows!
"So... Brother Luo, the reason you asked those questions before... was because..."

Xiaoyu murmured to herself, the anger and hostility in her eyes quickly fading, replaced by a sudden realization and an indescribable complex emotion.

Chen Jinhua could no longer contain her excitement. She took two steps forward, wanting to get closer to the hospital bed, but she was afraid of frightening Zhang Yiyi, so she could only stop a step away, looking at her with tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

“My child…my child…I know this is sudden, and you're finding it hard to accept…but…the moment I saw you, I knew…you must be my daughter…this feeling is unmistakable…Mom has been searching for you for twenty years…twenty years…”

Zhang Yiyi stared blankly at her, at the tears welling up in the stranger's eyes, a mixture of pain, guilt, ecstasy, and deep love, and at the woman's features that did indeed resemble her own. Her mind was in turmoil.

She is not Zhang's daughter, and she has accepted that fact.

But now, suddenly another person has appeared who might be her biological mother, and with such a special identity... What should she do?
Can she believe it?
"I...I need evidence..."

Zhang Yiyi's voice was dry and weak, carrying confusion and an instinctive sense of self-preservation.

"I can't...rely on feelings and speculation..."

"Yes! Evidence! We need scientific evidence!"

As if struck by a revelation, Chen Jinhua nodded repeatedly and turned to Qin Luo without hesitation.

"Mr. Qin, please contact the hospital immediately and arrange a paternity test! An expedited one! The one with the fastest results! Price doesn't matter!"

With the power of money and Qin Luo's efficient operations, the hospital arranged expedited paternity testing as quickly as possible. The sampling process was quick, and after the staff collected the samples from both parties, what remained was a long and anxious wait.

Outside the hospital's laboratory, the corridor was empty and quiet, with only the cold white light from the overhead lamps casting a silent glow.

None of the four people spoke.

Qin Luo stood against the wall, his gaze steady, as if he was considering the various possible scenarios that might follow.

Xiaoyu sat close to Zhang Yiyi, glancing at her friend with concern every now and then, holding her hand tightly, silently conveying support and strength.

Zhang Yiyi lowered her head, looking at her hands, which were trembling slightly with nervousness, resting on her knees, her mind in turmoil.

Her life was turned upside down in just a few days, from being abandoned by her adoptive parents to possibly finding her biological mother, and this biological mother was... She felt like her brain was a tangled mess, unable to think at all.

Chen Jinhua stood at a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Zhang Yiyi, his gaze never leaving the girl for a moment.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions that were hard to describe: the ecstasy of regaining what was lost, the fear that it was all just a dream, the heartache for his daughter’s experiences over the years, and an almost devout expectation.

Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, her knuckles white from the force, as if she were praying or enduring immense torment.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment, making every minute and second feel incredibly unbearable.

The hour of waiting felt like an eternity.

Outside the laboratory, the air was so thick it felt almost solid, so oppressive it was hard to breathe. Only the occasional footsteps or faint sounds from the distant wards could briefly break the suffocating silence.

Qin Luo leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his gaze calmly fixed on the front. His composed aura became an invisible pillar of stability.

Xiaoyu sat close to Zhang Yiyi, holding her friend's cold hands tightly, trying to convey some warmth and strength.
