Who could have imagined that she would be the Quan Family’s biological daughter? She had never thought of that.
When Su Peng heard the news, he was clearly shocked, "What did you say?"
Xiaofeng’s voice was soft, tinged with a touch of joy, "You heard right, I am the Quan Family’s daughter, it’s been confirmed."
"Ah, Xiaofeng, that’s really great. I was worried about you being bullied in the Imperial Capital, but now that’s settled. Your real parents are there, you have a backer, and I don’t have to worry about you being bullied anymore." Su Peng was truly happy for Xiaofeng, "This is good news, Mom and Dad will definitely be happy too."
"I never imagined that fate could be so magical," Xiaofeng said with a gentle laugh.
"Good news, good news," Su Peng laughed heartily, "It must be the bond of blood that, despite the years apart, still brought you together."
After chatting with Su Peng for a few more sentences, Xiaofeng hung up the phone.
It wasn’t long before her phone rang again, this time it was Old Guaizi calling.
"Xiaofeng, it’s Dad."
"Dad." Xiaofeng guessed why her father was calling; surely, her brother had called home right after their conversation.
"Pengzi just told his mother that you found your biological parents. Is that true?" Old Guaizi hesitated on how to begin.
The words reached his lips, and he found himself choked up.
He had raised his daughter for nearly twenty years, and now she had found her real parents.
It was a complex feeling.
Hearing the faint nasal tone in her dad’s voice, Xiaofeng suddenly felt a tinge of heartache. Old Guaizi had always been silently protecting her.
"Yes, it’s the couple I recognized last time. They had a child in Xijiang County, but the child got switched by Luo Yuzhu when being discharged from the hospital. I’m that child," Xiaofeng explained simply.
"It’s good you found them, now I can rest assured." Guaizi felt a hollow feeling inside.
"Dad." Xiaofeng called out, "Even though I’ve found my biological parents, your place in my heart is irreplaceable; you will always be my dad."
Guaizi’s eyes overflowed with tears. Hearing this from Xiaofeng, he knew everything was worth it, "Good, I’ve not raised you in vain. Did they say where the child who’s passed away is now?"
Only now did he learn that his own daughter had long been gone.
"Dean Niu from the People’s Hospital knows, Dad, if you want to find out, you can ask him."
"Alright, I need to see her. She has been alone in the ground for so many years, she must be very lonely."
"Dad, take care of yourself at home. I might need to stay here for a while, but I’ll come home after some time."
"I’m fine, I’m doing well at home. You take care of yourself there too."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaofeng felt that although the original host’s life had its ups and downs, at least Old Guaizi had treated the original host quite well.
She would always remember this affection in her heart.
He Ximei approached, "Look at you, it’s a good thing that a child finds her biological parents, why are you crying?" He Ximei helped with the phone, "Are you worried that Xiaofeng would not want you after finding her biological parents?"
Guaizi wiped his eyes, "I’m just sad for my girl, all these years and I didn’t know she was gone."
"It was her fate," He Ximei said, sincerely feeling Luo Yuzhu was odd, changing her own child just like that, no matter the reason.
It was simply sinful.
"Xiaofeng said that Dean Niu from the People’s Hospital was involved with the child back then, and he must know where the child is now. I want to go and see her. I’m her dad; if I don’t visit her, she might even forget about me," Guaizi said with a sob, his tears falling like a child’s.
Luo Yuzhu was too cruel, only telling him after so many years after his child had died.
"Look at you," He Ximei wiped his tears, "It’s good that the kids aren’t home; they’d surely laugh at you if they were. Alright, I’ll go with you. The child has been alone and cold underground for so many years."
Any parent would be unable to bear such news. She couldn’t understand how Luo Yuzhu had lived all these years; didn’t her conscience hurt?
Lin Jing was about to go to the dean’s office, aiming to ask the dean if she could be transferred to a nursing position. If Dean Niu wouldn’t allow her transfer, she decided she wouldn’t continue the job.
Dealing with so many troubles all day, and with such low pay, Lin Jing wasn’t without other options.
Just as she was about to enter, she saw Old Guaizi and his wife going into the dean’s office. She was curious about what business they had with Dean Niu.
