Chapter 171 Searching for My Biological Daughter
Jiang Yuan quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Jiang Dashan finished drinking the water, then stood up, clutching his stomach, saying, "Ouch, my stomach isn't feeling well, I need to go to the toilet."

"Are you alright?" Jiang Yuan asked worriedly.

"It's alright, it's alright, take your time eating." After saying that, Jiang Dashan pulled a waiter aside and asked for directions to the restroom.

Jiang Yuan played on her phone for a while, then checked the time and found that more than ten minutes had passed.

She immediately called Jiang Dashan, but the call was busy.

Jiang Dashan had already sneaked out of the restaurant and was on the phone with Deng Rui. "Yuan Yuan is waiting for me downstairs at my workplace. She's asking if we're hiding something from her."

On the other end of the phone, Deng Rui asked nervously, "So what did you say?"

"I pretended to go to the toilet, and then I ran away."

"You...you're basically admitting we're hiding something from her?"

"I don't know how to answer that. I'm afraid you'll blame me if I say something wrong."

Deng Rui was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "How about we just tell Yuan Yuan the truth?"

"Are you... sure?" Jiang Dashan frowned.

“We can’t hide it from her.” Deng Rui stroked the blueberries on her leg and said helplessly, “It’s too easy for her to find out what’s going on; this house is full of her soldiers.”

Upon hearing this, Blueberry immediately raised her head and meowed, "Mom, I'm on your side!"

Deng Rui patted its head. "Alright, you can go back to work now. I'll call Yuan Yuan."

After hanging up the phone, she stared blankly at the family photo hanging in the living room.

When Jiang Yuan returned home, this was the scene that greeted her. "Mom, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Yuan Yuan." Deng Rui looked at her, a gentle smile appearing on her face, "Did you go to see your father?"

Jiang Yuan sat down next to her and grabbed a cushion. "He ran away. Do you think my dad is feeling guilty? Could he have done something to betray you?"

“No.” Deng Rui said, both amused and helpless, “Your dad wouldn’t have that kind of guts.”

"So what exactly happened between you two last night?" Jiang Yuan frowned as she looked at her.

Deng Rui grasped her hand, her eyes slightly reddening, "Yuan Yuan, actually, about this..."

Jiang Yuan's mind stirred slightly, and she suddenly guessed something, "Is it related to me?"

“Yes.” Deng Rui nodded. “You…you should prepare yourself mentally first.”

"Go ahead and say it," Jiang Yuan said softly, placing her hand on the back of hers. "I'm ready."

Deng Rui pursed her lips, and when she spoke, her voice choked with emotion, "Your dad said someone came to see him yesterday, saying that they are your biological parents..."

Jiang Yuan instantly understood.

The Meng family still came knocking on our door.

Jiang Yuan took out a tissue and wiped away her tears. "They said all the newborns were mixed up?"

“Yes.” Deng Rui nodded.

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly, recalling the contents of her dream, which seemed to have omitted this point.

All she remembered was that when she returned to the Meng family, Meng Yunlan did not return to the Jiang family, nor did he reunite with Deng Rui.

It now seems that Meng Yunlan is probably not a child of the Jiang family.

"So what are your plans?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Deng Rui shook her head. "We don't know yet. We originally wanted to keep it from you for now."

"Mom," Jiang Yuan leaned on her shoulder, her voice gentle, "no matter if we are related by blood, you are my most beloved mother."

Upon hearing these words, Deng Rui burst into tears.

She raised her hand to stroke her daughter's face, her voice trembling with tears, "This is what I wanted to tell you too, you will always be my and your father's good daughter." "Then you're not allowed to cry tonight." Jiang Yuan reached out and hugged her, "And you're not allowed to overthink things. We're a family, and no matter what happens, we'll face it together."

"Okay." Deng Rui nodded repeatedly. "I promise you."

At that moment, several sudden cries rang out.

"Meow..."

"Woof woof woof woof..."

Jiang Yuan turned her head and saw that it was several furry children crying.

"Why are you crying?" She released Deng Rui and stared at them suspiciously.

Blueberry sobbed, "This is so touching for a cat!"

Xixi cried so hard she could barely breathe: "I'm so touched, waaaaah!"

Xiao Bai nodded vigorously: "Even the dog feels very touched."

Pipi wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, I wish Xingxing could have a mother like that!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

She pursed her lips, about to say something, when she suddenly heard the slow-reacting Brazilian tortoise in the terrarium let out a heart-wrenching cry. "Family members, who understands? The tortoise is moved to tears!"

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Meng family.

The magnificent crystal chandelier illuminated the entire villa.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I heard from Yunting that you went to see the child's parents yesterday?" Meng Zhiwei put down her teacup and got down to business.

Meng Zhenliang said in a deep voice, "I have met her father."

Meng Zhiwei: "So what did you talk about with him?"

“We didn’t talk about much,” Shen Airu sighed. “We only told him that Jiang Yuan was not their biological daughter, and showed him the paternity test results and the video of the hospital nurses deliberately switching the children back then.”

"What did they say?" Meng Zhiwei asked.

Meng Zhenliang frowned: "That Jiang Dashan doesn't look like a capable man. He only said he would go home and talk to his wife."

A hint of disdain flashed in Meng Zhiwei's eyes. "No wonder you raised that child so poorly. What are you two planning to do, brother and sister-in-law?"

"I don't know." Shen Airu looked at her husband. "Let your older brother decide this matter himself."

Meng Zhenliang frowned deeply. "How can I make this decision? This isn't just my problem!"

He felt angry whenever he thought about his daughter, who had been living away from home, being a vain, uneducated scoundrel who only knew how to seduce men.

If he admitted to having a daughter with such a terrible character, his arch-enemies would probably be laughing in their sleep.

"Zhiwei, what do you think?" Shen Airu took her sister-in-law's hand. "Let's think of a solution for our elder brother and sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhiwei smiled helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I shouldn't interfere in such matters. Although I don't like that child either, it was Mom's dying wish, and Dad has been asking about it..."

Before she passed away, Grandma Meng held Meng Zhengliang's hand and asked him to find his biological daughter so that she could be recognized by her ancestors as soon as possible.

Grandpa Meng has been urging Meng Zhenliang to find his biological daughter all these years.

"Sigh." Shen Airu sighed again, "If that child were even a little more outstanding, we wouldn't be in such a predicament. And I'm also worried that if we really bring him home, Lanlan, with her sensitive nature, will overthink it."

“Actually, Lanlan mentioned this to me.” Meng Zhiwei’s eyes showed a hint of heartache. “She was afraid that you would dislike her because of this, and she was also worried that you would drive her away when you found your biological daughter.”

"This silly child." Shen Airu said with a mix of helplessness and heartache. "Did you try to persuade her not to overthink things? No matter what happens, she is the apple of our Meng family's eye, my precious daughter."

After saying that, she looked at Meng Zhenliang and said, "Why don't we give that child some money and not bring him back?"
