A busy tone came from the other end of the phone, but Zhuang Rouhui still held onto her mobile phone.
A euphoric expression spread across her face.
Although this was the result she had anticipated, Zhuang Rouhui still couldn’t close her mouth with excitement.
She was dying to rush over to the Li Family and share the news.
But Zhuang Rouhui forcefully restrained herself.
She had to wait for the DNA report to arrive at her home, otherwise, without physical proof, they wouldn’t believe her.
Meanwhile, Yue Qingqing had returned to Zhuancheng.
While many students took a week to fill out their college applications, Yue Qingqing had only written down that one school.
Even her usually confident homeroom teacher had offered advice.
"You can list four schools, why not add two more as a backup?"
Yue Qingqing shook her head with a smile, "No need, this is the only one."
It was the school she was determined to get into with her resolve to win.
No backup plan, no alternatives.
Because someone was waiting for her.
It was a promise she had to fulfill.
Seeing Yue Qingqing’s determination, the teacher couldn’t help but feel confident as well.
"Alright, then I’ll submit it as it is."
Upon returning to the Yue Family, Zhang Ying was the first to come out and embrace her.
Even though Yue Qingqing was now quite grown up, in her heart, she seemed forever like the sweet and adorable child from before.
Yue Qingqing also hugged her mother tightly, feeling Zhang Ying’s body tremble slightly.
the family had made up their minds.
Yue Qingqing understood, and indeed, on further observation, everyone seemed to be waiting for something significant to happen.
The table was laid with delicious-looking dishes, but everyone ate in unusual silence.
Only Yue Xiaofang was smiling and asked how the exams felt?
But before Yue Qingqing could answer, she muttered to herself.
"Certainly no problem, our Qingqing is the best."
The family members proudly loaded Yue Qingqing’s bowl, quickly piling it high with food.
Yue Xiaohu watched this scene and stealthily crept closer to his sister.
"Why do I feel something is off?"
Yue Xingxing nonchalantly focused on her meal, "Eat your food, can’t you keep your mouth shut?"
A couple of days back, when Yue Xiaohu had finished his exams and they were back in Daye Village, he had overheard pieces of conversation from his parents at night.
It was then that Yue Xingxing was shocked to learn the secret about Qingqing.
However, at that moment, Yue Xiaohu had been distracted, watching TV while eating absentmindedly, completely missing what was being discussed at home.
No wonder he was clueless about what was about to happen.
Finally, after dinner was finished, the family cleared the tableware but did not leave the dining table.
"Qingqing, there is something we need to tell you." Lin Chunju sat at the head of the table, her eyes filled with compassion as she looked at her granddaughter.
She vaguely suspected that Yue Qingqing might already know about this issue, but she couldn’t be sure.
Originally, the Yue Family had planned to keep this a secret forever.
Being abandoned is too cruel for a child.
They never wanted their beloved child to know all this.
But now, the situation was different; Zhuang Rouhui had approached the Yue Family.
No matter what Zhuang Rouhui’s intentions were, they had to tell Qingqing, to spare her from greater harm in an unexpected situation.
Yue Qingqing nodded, "Okay."
Zhang Ying’s eyes welled up, her lips quivering as she finally spoke.
"Qingqing, you, you are not biologically born to mum, actually mum can’t have children."
Before she finished speaking, tears had already begun to slide down her cheeks.
The tears were incessant, and her voice became choked.
Yet, she mustered the courage and blurted out the rest.
"Years ago, dad and I found you at the hospital, and now there’s someone who might be your birth mother wanting to reclaim you."
She hesitated, wanting to hold her daughter’s hand, but just as she touched Yue Qingqing’s fingertips, she pulled back as if burnt.
Zhang Ying was afraid, afraid her daughter’s eyes, so pure and gentle, would show disgust, and even more afraid that the news would upset her, causing her pain.
The woman bit her lip fiercely.
But suddenly, Yue Qingqing leaned forward and took Zhang Ying’s hand.
"Mum, I know, I know it all."
