"Nianji, I think, most likely, the Gu Family wants to acknowledge Nianhua as their own because Gu Mingzhu is about to have a child."
Ji Shuyuan was furious, muttering to Xu Nianji about what he had seen at the hospital, saying, "Gu Mingzhu’s mother asked several times about the childbirth of someone with ’Panda Blood,’ even saying that it’s much safer to have someone with the same blood type around during childbirth!"
"Shameless." Xu Nianji clenched his teeth as he spoke, having always protected his little sister since she was young. But what about the Gu Family?
What did they take his little sister for?
The more Xu Nianji thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Nianji, do you think, given how heartless and ungrateful the Gu Family is, that Nianhua was really stolen back then?" Ji Shuyuan had always harbored doubts in his heart but had kept quiet out of respect for Xu Nianhua’s biological parents. Now, with Nianhua’s clear stance and the investigation into the Gu Family, Ji Shuyuan voiced his suspicion.
"You mean..." Xu Nianji looked at Ji Shuyuan, shocked.
"When Auntie and Uncle found Nianhua back then, if they had reported it to the police, and if the Gu Family had really wanted to find her, how could they have missed twenty-one years?"
"If Nianhua was really stolen, she would have definitely been sold. How could she have been left under the Big Locust Tree?"
Ji Shuyuan analyzed methodically. On this point, he couldn’t make sense of it, but since the other party insisted she was stolen and they couldn’t find any witnesses, they could only half believe it.
"If that’s really the case, then the Gu Family is truly despicable. This isn’t what a mother is like; this is what an enemy is like!" The more Xu Nianji thought about it, the more he felt this might be the case. Nian’an had also guessed that the Gu Family’s intentions were not pure. This wasn’t a family reunion; this was a scheme against his little sister.
"Shuyuan, if you have time, help me investigate some more."
Xu Nianji instructed him and then called Xu Nian’an, relaying the information he and Ji Shuyuan had found. Xu Nian’an was not surprised after hearing it and said, "Big brother, I guessed as much. I’ve already talked to Ling Dong; he’s gone to South City. Maybe he will find some clues."
"Good," Xu Nianji responded, then asked, "How’s our little sister doing?"
He was somewhat worried. His little sister, who should have been happy and spoiled by the whole family, was now facing such treatment from her biological parents... He feared she couldn’t bear it.
"She seems good. I think our little sister doesn’t want to acknowledge the Gu Family at all. She’s been busy lately with the translation studio she started with her dormmates. It’s doing pretty well; she’s on her feet all day, probably too busy to think about these things." Xu Nian’an was somewhat relieved, thankful for the studio. Otherwise, when their little sister had free time and thought about this situation, it would have been too distressful for her.
"Alright, check on our little sister more for me. We’re far away, so you need to be more attentive." Xu Nianji repeatedly urged. If he was in South City, he would certainly visit his little sister frequently.
"Big brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely visit our little sister more," Xu Nian’an affirmed.
Days passed one by one, May went by, June arrived, and the weather grew hotter and hotter.
The orders previously taken by the 302 Translation Studio were gradually completed, and the clients were very satisfied. Through word of mouth, the studio kept getting orders.
Fei Jiayi and the others were just helping out initially, but in the later stages of proofreading, they all relied on Xu Nianhua to take charge.
Fei Jiayi and the others became even more dedicated to their studies, dividing up the money they earned equally, not allowing Xu Nianhua to do all the work.
