Chapter 76 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (7)
"It's true..."
"It's actually true!"
Looking at the results of the two appraisal reports, Le Yan felt a great weight lifted from her heart, but then another weight was lifted from her shoulders.
Zhao Qingruo, sitting next to him, slumped in her chair, tears streaming down her face, each drop landing on the report and splashing into tiny droplets.
Why...?
Why is she really not the daughter of the Zhao family, and not her sister's biological sister?
So all these years, has she been clinging to something that doesn't belong to her?
Zhao Qingruo found it hard to accept reality.
Chen Xi was also not very able to accept it, but she was not as shocked as Zhao Qingruo.
After all, although she was taken away from the wealthy family and became an ordinary person, in all these years, apart from not having the money to enjoy life, she has received no less than anyone else in any other aspect.
In particular, she had all of her mother's love.
Thinking of her mother who had cared for her for seventeen years and given her all her love, Chen Xi looked at Le Yan with some difficulty and pleaded, "Sister, could you, could you please not pursue my mother's crime?"
Although it was wrong and illegal for her mother to switch children, she didn't really hate her mother.
Le Yan had anticipated Chen Xi's words, after all, the real heiress in the book was also unwilling to blame Chen's mother.
But she couldn't make a promise to Chen Xi, only saying, "I can't make the decision on this matter. Only after I tell our mother will she have the right to decide whether or not to pursue Ms. Chen."
Chen Xi was stunned upon hearing this, and lowered her head with a touch of melancholy. Her biological mother...
She didn't know what her biological mother would do, but she really didn't want to see anything happen to her adoptive mother.
With his brows furrowed, Chen Xi fell silent.
Le Yan then looked at Zhao Qingruo to the side and saw that she was staring blankly at the ground. She sighed inwardly, quickly stepped forward, patted her, and said, "Qingruo, where do you live now? Let me take you home."
Zhao Qingruo slowly shook her head. "I'm not going back. I have no home anymore."
Her voice was choked with sobs, it was heartbreaking to hear.
Le Yan quickly said, "Where is there no home? Come on, sister will take you home."
She helped Zhao Qingruo up, and Chen Xi quickly followed.
"Sister, where are we going?"
Having recovered, Chen Xi was exceptionally tactful, calling out "sister" very naturally, as if she had been doing it for over a decade.
Zhao Qingruo nestled close to Le Yan, glancing at her upon hearing the sound, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Go to the house registered in my name."
As the most beloved child of the Zhao family, Le Yan is incredibly wealthy, owning countless properties. One of them is her secret hideout, where she goes to get some fresh air when she gets annoyed by Meng Cili and the others.
Right now, she has taken her two poor younger sisters to her secret base.
"Ruo Ruo, Xiao Xi, you already know the password. You can come anytime you want in the future."
Without any attempt to hide the password, Le Yan told the two of them the answer. At the end, she added, "Besides me, only you two have been here."
So you don't have to worry about running into other people or being disturbed by them.
Having grasped the meaning behind Le Yan's words, Zhao Qingruo and Chen Xi exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement, "Okay, sister."
Le Yan, whose mind was entirely focused on her two younger sisters, was unaware that her late-night absence was driving her all the people who cared about her to the brink of madness.
"I can't get through to Yan Yan on the phone. Do you know where she might have gone?"
Seeing the message "The number you dialed is not being answered" on his phone, Meng Cili pursed his thin lips, a chill spreading from his body.
Ning Zhiyu, who was anxiously waiting nearby, shook her head upon hearing this: "I don't know. If I had known it would be like this, I would have been better off sticking with Sister Yan Yan."
With the clock already past nine o'clock and her sister Yan Yan still not home, not replying to messages or getting through on the phone, Ning Zhiyu couldn't help but feel filled with worry and fear.
Meng Cili closed his eyes, his heart filled with regret. If he had known, he would have arranged for someone to follow Yan Yan all the time.
Alternatively, when I got her phone last time, I could have installed a location tracking feature on it.
That way, he won't have to live in fear here anymore.
With his brows furrowed, Meng Cili was extremely agitated. Just as he was about to say something, his ears twitched, and he quickly ran out onto the balcony. Looking down at the Zhao family's house next door, he saw a familiar car slowly driving into the courtyard.
He hurriedly ran outside, with Ning Zhiyu following closely behind.
As soon as Le Yan got out of the car, she heard someone calling her.
"Yanyan!"
"Sister Yan Yan!"
Looking back, she saw Meng Cili and Ning Zhiyu rushing towards her with anxious expressions.
She tilted her head, puzzled. "What's wrong with you? Why are you running so fast? Do you need something from me?"
Ning Zhiyu threw herself into her arms, her lips pursed and her face full of worry as she said, "Sister Yan Yan, why can't I get through to you on the phone? I'm so worried, I'm afraid something has happened to you."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan was stunned. She quickly took out her phone, only to find that she couldn't turn it on no matter what she did. She was annoyed and said, "It must have run out of battery and turned off. I didn't even notice."
Her whole heart was with her two younger sisters, so she couldn't possibly care less about her phone running out of battery.
Meng Cili looked Le Yan up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was indeed alright.
Then, her eyes flashed, and she asked casually, "Yan Yan, why don't I see the gifts you were supposed to buy for your aunt and uncle? Did you not find anything you liked?"
Le Yan paused for a moment before slowly saying, "No, I bought it. It's in my bag."
"What is it? Can Xiaoyu take a look?" Ning Zhiyu lifted her head from Le Yan's arms and asked curiously.
Le Yan smiled slightly and shook her head decisively: "No, you'll find out later."
Ning Zhiyu pouted, "Later? Who knows how long that will be? Xiaoyu wants to see what kind of gift Sister Yan spent three or four hours picking out~"
She skillfully wrapped her arms around Le Yan's waist and began to act coquettishly, but Le Yan's heart was as hard as iron at this moment. He was not swayed by her at all and firmly refused: "Xiao Yu, stop fooling around. You'll know in the future."
Le Yan patted Ning Zhiyu's shoulder, pushed her away from her embrace, and then looked at Meng Cili, smiling, "Brother Cili, I'm going to give Dad a gift. You and Xiaoyu should go back quickly, it's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold."
Meng Cili stared at her for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, Zhiyu and I will go back now."
Ning Zhiyu was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to follow Le Yan, but Meng Cili blocked her way.
"Don't bother Yan Yan, she has things to do."
After more than a decade of childhood friendship, Meng Cili knew Le Yan well enough to understand her. He could tell that Le Yan was hiding something in her heart.
And this matter is probably very big.
"What do you mean?" Ning Zhiyu was a little confused.
Meng Cili glanced at her disdainfully, not wanting to explain anything further, and turned to leave.
They only got together to find Leyan, but now that Leyan is back, their fake alliance can fall apart.
Ning Zhi spoke urgently, and then swung her fist fiercely at his back. "Bastard, all you know is to pretend to be profound and act all high and mighty!"
However, the important thing on Sister Yan's mind...
Ning Zhiyu looked back at the brightly lit Zhao family home, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her: Could it be!
