Chapter 254 The Four Babies Were Switched
Si Heng: [The liberals left Yunjing by high-speed train this afternoon with only a backpack. I don't know when they'll be back.]

After reading Si Heng's reply, Jiang Yuan hadn't figured out how to respond when Si Heng sent another message.

Si Heng: [Regarding the matter you asked me to investigate about the baby swapping incident at Jinghe Hospital in September 2001, I couldn't find anything related to it in the records. However, after my investigation, I discovered that not all the babies in the nursery were swapped, but only four babies were.]

Si Heng: [This is the list, take a look.]

He sent me a document.

After Jiang Yuan received the list, he opened it, and his name was prominently displayed in the first column. The second column was Meng Yunlan. The third column was Song Mingfei. The last column was Qin Anduo.

Flipping through the pages reveals photos of each person, along with their family background and personal information.

Jiang Yuan noticed that Song Mingfei's eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to Deng Rui's, but in the background information, Song Mingfei had immigrated overseas at the age of five.

Qin Anduo is in Linjin, which is relatively close, but she is most likely not related to Deng Rui.

Jiang Yuan: [Thank you, I almost forgot about that.]

Just as she finished sending the message, Deng Rui returned from outside. "Mom, why did you go grocery shopping alone?"

"Didn't you say you were going to hire two housekeepers to help?" Deng Rui came into the living room carrying a shopping basket, took out a tissue to wipe her sweat, and said, "I'll go to a housekeeping company to inquire."

Jiang Yuan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, "How did the questioning go?"

Deng Rui sat down on the sofa, finished her water, and then said, "The salary is higher than I expected. They said it's because our house is too big."

"How much salary do you want?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Deng Rui sighed: "It costs eight thousand a month, plus weekends off, so it'll be sixteen thousand for both of us!"

"It's alright, eight thousand it is." Jiang Yuan waved her hand. "I have money."

Although her daughter said she had money, Deng Rui still felt bad because her monthly pension was only five thousand yuan.

"How about we rent out this villa and then rent a large apartment to live in?" Deng Rui suggested.

Jiang Yuan blinked and chuckled, "If we live in a big apartment, what about Blueberry and the others?"

"I forgot about them!" Deng Rui slapped her thigh.

"Did you get anything from your trip to the housekeeping company today?"

"They said they would keep an eye out for me and call me over if they found a suitable candidate."

Jiang Yuan didn't continue the topic. Instead, she showed her a photo and said, "Mom, take a look at this girl."

Deng Rui put on her reading glasses, took the phone, and examined it carefully: "Who is this girl? She looks somewhat familiar."

“Her name is Song Mingfei,” Jiang Yuan said. “She was born on September 1, 2001, at Jinghe Hospital.”

“September 2001…” Deng Rui paused for a few seconds, then her eyes reddened slightly as she realized what she meant. “You mean…”

Jiang Yuan said softly, "Mom, actually four children were switched that year. Two of them were me and Song Mingfei. The first time I saw her photo, I thought she looked like you, but we haven't done a DNA test yet, so we're not sure if it's her."

Deng Rui's voice choked with emotion, "No wonder it looked so familiar to me."

“However, Song Mingfei is not in the country.” Jiang Yuan held her hand and smiled. “But judging from her personal situation, she is doing quite well abroad, so you can rest assured.”

"Can I take a look?" Deng Rui asked in a low voice.

“Of course you can.” Jiang Yuan flipped through Song Mingfei’s file, patted her hair, and stood up, saying, “You can take your time looking at it. I’m going to cook lunch.”

Deng Rui gripped her phone tightly, her gaze fixed on Jiang Yuan's slender back.

She was initially worried that her daughter wouldn't be able to accept this, but she was surprised by her calm and composed demeanor, and even helped search for her biological daughter...

Perhaps sensing Deng Rui's gaze, Jiang Yuan turned around and raised an eyebrow at her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't overthink it, your mood is more important than anything else."

"Okay." Deng Rui nodded vigorously. "I won't overthink it." Jiang Yuan then continued walking towards the kitchen.

Meng family.

Meng Zhenliang and Shen Airu returned home and sat on the sofa, each lost in their own thoughts.

They never expected that Jiang Yuan would die in a car accident, and they didn't even have time to see their biological daughter one last time...

Although the couple didn't want to acknowledge Jiang Yuan back, she was, after all, their biological daughter, and it would be a lie to say they weren't sad.

"Sir, Madam, lunch is ready," the butler reminded them.

Shen Airu held her forehead and shook her head weakly. "I'm not eating. I'm not feeling well. I'm going upstairs to rest."

Upon hearing this, the butler looked at Meng Zhenliang again, "Sir..."

"I'm not eating either." Meng Zhenliang raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Put it away."

After saying that, he and Shen Airu got up and left one after the other.

During dinner, Shen Airu didn't have much of an appetite. After a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and said, "You guys eat slowly."

Seeing this, Meng Zhenliang also put down his chopsticks, let out a heavy sigh of relief, and got up to leave the table.

Meng Yunlan noticed that her parents' mood was off and looked at Meng Yunting with concern, "Brother, Mom and Dad seem to be in a bad mood. Did something happen?"

Meng Yunting noticed this too, and frowned, saying, "I don't know either. I'll ask later. Don't worry, eat more, you've lost weight."

He placed a piece of meat into her bowl with his chopsticks.

Meng Yunlan's exquisitely made-up face instantly broke into a smile, "Thank you, brother, you're so kind to me."

"Silly," Meng Yunting chuckled. "Does putting food on your plate mean you're being nice to me?"

"Of course!" Meng Yunlan looked at him with smiling eyes. "Being able to eat with my brother is a blessing, and he even put food on my plate. It's pure bliss!"

Meng Yunting's smile grew even wider: "You've always had a sweet tongue since you were little."

"It's not because I'm being sweet-talking," Meng Yunlan retorted sweetly. "It's because my brother is good to me!"

“If you keep praising him, your brother will get cocky.” Meng Yunting said helplessly, urging, “Hurry up and eat.”

After dinner, Meng Yunting went to the study on the second floor.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After hearing a response from inside, he gently turned the doorknob and went in.

The translucent lampshade cast a warm orange light, and Meng Zhenliang stood by the window, his back view revealing a hint of loneliness.

"Dad," Meng Yunting walked up behind him and asked softly, "What's wrong with you and Mom today? I heard from the housekeeper that you didn't eat lunch either."

“We went to Fuzeyuan today.” Meng Zhenliang said, his back to him, gazing at the crescent moon in the sky.

Meng Yunting frowned slightly. "Did the talks not go smoothly?"

“Nothing was discussed.” Meng Zhenliang looked away and closed his eyes briefly. “We didn’t see Jiang Yuan.”

"Does she not want to see you?" Meng Yunting's voice was filled with confusion.

Meng Zhenliang sighed, his voice trembling slightly, "She...she's gone."

Meng Yunting asked in surprise, "You've left Yunjing?"

Meng Zhenliang turned to look at him, his expression complicated. "She was in a car accident and died."
