k. That's why I say this mission came at just the right time.Wu Lianyi smiled and said.Because she remembered this mission, Yúnróu entered the upper levels of the capital base's vision because of this...Wu Lianyi listened to the conversation between Wan Guifen and Wu Yong, as well as the conversation between Wan Guifen and Xianrou. There was not too much surprise on her face, which made Zhao Fenglin a little surprised. He simply asked directly:

"Ripples, did you already know this"

“No, before that, I didn't know that I wasn't the daughter of the Wu family. I always thought my parents favored sons over daughters. On the surface, they seemed to treat me well, but they weren't really concerned about my feelings. In order to get their attention, I could only study hard and top the charts, so they would pay more attention to me.”

My stepmother is very good to me on the surface, especially when it comes to food. She spoils me rotten and even prevents me from losing weight, saying that I am her favorite in her eyes.

Not even a little bit considering the heart of a girl who loves beauty, I have to endure classmates' pointing and gossiping, being called "fat pig" by my own younger brother, hurtful words.

But when I saw my mother, I suddenly understood Wan Guifen's intention. This was because my mother and I looked so alike that as a classmate from our teenage years, Mr. Wu could definitely recognize me at a glance.

That's why Wan Guifen keeps stuffing me with delicious food, making me fat like a ball, to cover up my appearance so I won't be exposed. And everything I suffer means nothing to her because she knows very well that I am not her biological daughter. To her, I am just a stranger.

When I heard her confront Mianrou and admit to what she had done, I wasn't surprised at all. As for why she chose to switch with Zhao family's daughter, it's clear to anyone who looks. Just like she said herself, although she was separated from her biological daughter for seventeen years, Zhao Mianrou was raised well by you, better than she expected.

Seventeen years is not seventeen days. The bond between you has become very deep, it's not something that can be broken by just saying so, nor can our problem be solved by simply switching places and going our separate ways.

Wu Lianyi explained in a clear and organized manner. Zhao Fenglin was very satisfied with the answer. She truly is his daughter, even in this environment, she can see the essence of the problem through these details. Genetics are powerful.

"Ripples, what do you think we should do next"

Zhao Fenglin continued to ask. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Wait!"

What are you waiting for

"Wait, be gentle with each other! I've told her that in this situation, we were both victims. As infants, we were passively swapped, and we did nothing wrong. Wan Guifen is the one who made a mistake."

Now that she knows the whole story, it's up to her how she chooses to act! Will she pretend to be ignorant and follow Wan Guifen's lead, trying to get as much benefit as possible from the Zhao family Or will she choose to tell you and your mother everything, asking for your forgiveness and returning her identity as the daughter of the Zhao family

Wu Lianyi said without any hesitation.

How long do you think I should give her to weigh her options

As long as it's before she graduates from university, after all you've already decided to move Zhao family from Modu to the capital. No matter what decision she makes, you can leave part of Modu's assets and connections to her, which would be considered a good ending for both of you.

Wu Lianyi smiled and said.

“Hello! I'm Zhao Fenglin’s daughter. You look like your mother, but you have my personality. Because of some people's selfishness, I missed seventeen years of your life. This is my regret. I will try my best to make up for it in the future. I hope you can give me and your mother a chance.”

"Of course, you are the dearest people to me in this world. I will accept everything you give me, both good and bad. I am also slowly building an emotional relationship with you."

The conversation between the father and daughter was very pleasant. After dinner, Wu Lianyi was sent back to her new home.

After Zhao Fenglin finished talking with Lianyi, he took the last flight of the day back to Modu.

When Zhou Mengyu returned to Zhao's villa, Zhou Mengyu hadn't rested yet and was waiting for him.

Zhou Mengyu walked over, took her husband's briefcase, helped him hang up his coat, and then spoke:

"Fenglin, how did things go"

"Not bad! How about the softness"

"I sent her to school today, she's already living in the dorms and not at home anymore."

Zhao Fenglin nodded after hearing this and went straight to the study with his wife, telling her what had happened and also mentioning Lian Yi's proposed solution.

Zhou Mengyu suppressed her emotions, listening from beginning to end, her face growing increasingly grim. When Zhao Fenglin finished speaking, she clenched her fists tightly and said:

"The Wu family is simply too much! I have no grievance with them, so why would they scheme against my daughter like this!"

"Human nature is unfathomable!"

Zhao Fenglin said coldly.

Zhou Mengyu's eyes immediately turned red, and tears "patted" down.

"Poor ripples, growing up in that kind of environment, we didn't mistreat that wretch's daughter, how could she treat my daughter like this!"

Because of her good upbringing, Zhou Mengyu could only curse out these two words.

Zhao Fenglin immediately got up and sat beside his wife, gently taking his beloved into his arms. He used a handkerchief to gently wipe away her tears and soothed her in a soft voice:

"Don't cry, Lianyi is our daughter. She's very intelligent. When Wan Guifen treated her that way, she already sensed something was wrong, which is why she maintained her weight and gradually lost it until we met. It seems like she realized something when she met me, so she slimmed down completely."

"She's doing really well, she's made up with us now, and I believe she'll get even better. You'll definitely look after her."

"Well! I'll definitely do it, just be gentle, okay!"

Zhou Mengyu wiped away her tears and let out a sigh.

"Just do as Ripple said, we gave her the opportunity, it's up to her to choose."

Zhao Feng's eyes flashed, and he said directly.

Okay, I hear you.

Zhou Mengyu nodded, though Qianrou had grown up around them, she valued her biological daughter more. Especially after learning the culprit was Qianrou's own mother, and that Qianrou already knew everything but never mentioned it to her, Zhou Mengyu couldn't help feeling a chill.

"Don't worry, I got this!"

Zhao Fenglin held Meng Yu in his arms, gently patting her back. Zhou Mengyu listened to her husband's steady and powerful heartbeat, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xianrou, who was living in the dormitory, met Yang Ziyix at the activity room. She looked tearful and said:

"Ziyi, I'm so sorry! I may not be able to get engaged to you."

"Why This was a deal made between the two parties, how can you go back on your word Do you have some grievance with me"

Yang Ziyi, who was 1.85 meters tall, looked down at Zhao Xianrou, frowned and asked.

Zhao Xianrou bit her lip, looking at the boy she had admired for a long time. After wiping away a tear, she said:

"Only after returning from abroad for the summer vacation did I realize that I wasn't Zhao family's daughter!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Yang Ziyue's handsome face, and for a moment, many thoughts raced through his mind. In the end, he still asked directly:

"What does this mean"t me, it was Pan Nuannuan that bitch who came looking for me. She agreed to help me lure you over, once things were settled between us, she would call people to catch you cheating. All I had to do was...
