"Thank you, Nianhua’s dad and mom." Jiang Wanru had just been lost in thought looking at the family photo. At this moment, seeing Ji Ying gentle and kind, just as she had imagined, she couldn’t hold back anymore, and tears fell from her eyes. She knelt down firmly in front of Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying.
Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying were taken aback. Ji Ying hurriedly helped Jiang Wanru up, saying, "Get up quickly."
Jiang Wanru grasped Ji Ying’s hand and was too choked to speak.
"Let’s sit down and talk about it," Ji Ying said, supporting Jiang Wanru to sit down on the couch beside them. Xu Qinghe, also shocked solidly, invited everyone to sit down.
Su Jinrong stood beside Jiang Wanru. He took a deep breath and solemnly bowed deeply to Xu Qinghe and his wife, saying, "Thank you for taking Yuyu home and raising her twenty-two years ago in the fall. We, as a couple, are sincerely grateful to you. This courtesy, you deserve it without a doubt."
Su Jinrong’s eyes were slightly red. In finding his daughter, he seemed calm, but inside, waves of shock had long stirred. Despite his lifelong experience in business, he was outwitted by a woman, and his own daughter got swapped by someone else.
Xu Qinghe caught onto the important part, asking, "You’re saying, you are Nianhua’s biological parents?"
He scrutinized Su Jinrong and Jiang Wanru and asked, "Aren’t you both from Ningbei?"
"I am Su Jinrong, a native of Ningbei. My wife Jiang Wanru, however, is from South City. We met through an unexpected twist of fate, and at the time Yuyu was born, Wanru’s grandmother passed away. So, fearing they couldn’t handle a long journey, we had the child be born in Gaoliang County."
Su Jinrong briefly explained the entire situation.
"Is Jiang Sufen your cousin?" Ji Ying looked at Jiang Wanru with sympathy in her eyes, thinking how unfortunate it was to have such a cousin.
"Yes, it’s because of her being the midwife that I never doubted the child didn’t die!" Jiang Wanru was seething with anger whenever she mentioned this matter. She looked at Ji Ying, choking up, "We came today just to see Nianhua. It’s all because of our negligence that allowed Nianhua to be swapped."
Jiang Wanru didn’t dare to bring up anything about acknowledging Nianhua. She just wished to see Nianhua. Previously, she also liked Nianhua, but it was just fondness, not knowing she was Yuyu.
"Are you sure Nianhua is your swapped daughter? There’s no mistake, right?" Ji Ying reminded them that the Gu Family was just as certain before, everything lined up but in the end, Nianhua was not their child.
This was the second time; Ji Ying was just afraid they might be mistaken again.
"No, definitely not wrong." Jiang Wanru explained what happened with Jiang Sufen. She took out two photos, saying, "Look, Nianhua and I in my younger days are exactly the same."
From the front, the likeness wasn’t particularly strong, but from the side, they bore an eighty percent resemblance.
"This is you?" Ji Ying examined the two photos, one very old showing Jiang Wanru in a cheongsam, and the other of Nianhua under a wisteria wall. Xu Nianhua’s profile was beautiful, with indeed seven to eight parts resemblance to the old photo.
"Yes, that’s me." Jiang Wanru sighed and said, "Speaking of, we also must thank Xiaoxi. If it weren’t for Xiaoxi and Nianhua being classmates and seeing these two photos, we wouldn’t have rushed over to South City, let alone discovered that Jiang Sufen swapped my child for someone else’s."
