Chapter 60: Speak Your Mind

going forward."I understand, Father. I will prepare well."As soon as the ripples of voice faded, Emiliio entered the hall with a young woman with auburn hair. The girl's light brown eyes were fixed on...Not at all surprised by this, Zhao Fenglin. Zhou Mengyu's reaction, however, was a bit much. Her face changed color and she immediately turned to her husband and said:

They deliberately kept you away, at that time I was alone. After the cesarean section, my body was weak and there weren't any close relatives around so soon, which gave them the opportunity to succeed!

But what they did, all this, was it just to swap children with the Wu family What was their purpose”

Zhou Mengyu wasn't a sixteen-year-old girl, and with her father being involved in politics, she certainly wasn't naive. She immediately grasped the key point of the situation.

Zhao Fenglin was also frowning, flipping through the materials in his hand while asking his assistant:

"Xiao Han, who were the outsiders that entered this city during that time"

"People of the Feng family."

"It's them again!"

Zhao Feng's eyes flashed with anger. His nephew was involved in this, and they were the ones behind it. If it hadn't been for Lian Yi's accidental encounter, he wouldn't have known what his child had to suffer!

Fortunately, the child has been in a deep sleep and doesn't know they were taken away by human traffickers. Now, they are being closely watched by their brother's family, who are terrified that if they let their guard down for even a moment, the child will disappear again.

"Is there anything else I can help you with"

Zhao Fenglin clasped the file in his hand and asked directly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, too much time has passed, I only found this content."

However, one nursery nurse left shortly after the lady was discharged. I heard she went back home to marry a capable husband. Before that, doctors at the hospital had seen her dressed quite expensively. I think it's worth investigating this further.

As Zhao Fenglin's most trusted assistant, Xiao Han was quite capable. With his sharp intuition, he immediately noticed something amiss and began an investigation.

"Alright, take your time investigating. No need to rush. Don't scare the snakes. Now that my Zhao family's daughter is back, I want to see what they plan to do next."

Yes, General Zhao!

Han Dong nodded and then left the room.

Zhao Fenglin only then rubbed his brow, embraced his wife, and said with guilt:

"Meng Yu, it's all my fault. If I hadn't left back then, they wouldn't have had the chance to attack, and we wouldn't have been separated from Lian Yi for so long."

Zhou Mengyu then wiped her tears and leaned against her husband's chest, saying in a low voice:

"Feng Lin, this isn't your fault. If anyone is to blame, it's me. I couldn't even recognize my own daughter, which allowed them to succeed."

Moreover, they are cunning and will find ways to get you out of the way. However, there must be people from the Feng family helping you in your company, otherwise they wouldn't know our whereabouts. As for my return home with you, only our family knows about it.

Since Zhou Mengyu found out that her biological daughter had been switched at birth, she had thought about it over and over again, and also discovered some doubts.

"I know, you can rest assured, none of these people will escape."

"Feng Lin, do you think the Wu family will be involved After all, Wu Yong confessed to me before and I rejected him!"

Zhou Mengyu has already brought up something that happened so long ago.

Zhao Fenglin raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and said domineeringly:

"No, he doesn't have the guts or the courage!"

The next day, Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu took Wu Lianyi out alone. This was the first time the three of them truly reunited as a family.

Zhou Mengyu first sent gifts in large packages, mostly containing food and clothing. Only a watch was the most expensive, but it was only valuable locally.

"I came in a hurry and didn't have time to get you a present, these are just bought on the way here. I hope you like them."

Zhou Mengyu said with pleading eyes.

"Thank you, I really like these."

Wu Lianyi wouldn't be coy. She directly put the silver-faced new watch on her left wrist and smiled, saying,

This greatly pleased Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu. They both let out a sigh of relief. Although their daughter was still polite, she wasn't as resistant to them as she had been yesterday.

"Ripples, I called you here today because we want to discuss something with you. You're about to enter senior year of high school, and with college entrance exams coming up, we hope you'll consider transferring to Shanghai. The educational resources there are better."

After hearing this, Wu Lianyi did not immediately refuse, but asked:

"Will I go to the same school as Zhao Xianrou"

The couple looked at each other and then nodded.

Wu Lianyi saw this and directly shook her head, saying:

"I won't transfer there."

"Why Did the Wu family say something to you"

Zhou Mengyu immediately frowned and asked.

"No, it's just that I don't want to go myself. You also said I'm about to enter my senior year of high school soon, and now with a new environment, I need time to adapt. Plus, the pace of teaching here is definitely different from what we had in Shanghai. It would disrupt my learning rhythm."

Wu Lianyi said softly.

And you guys didn't even consider how we, the people involved, feel. To me, she's like a magpie taking over a weaver's nest. And to her, I'm the one disrupting her comfortable and wealthy life. Do you think we could possibly get along

Wu Lianyi looked at the two people opposite her, speaking straightforwardly and asking directly.

This left Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu stunned. They suddenly realized that their child had grown up, and that it happened during the seventeen years they were absent.

"People are all biased, after all, I didn't grow up with you. Maybe now because of this guilt, you'll take care of me a little more."

But because we grow up in different environments, it means that I and Lian Rou stand at different heights. Over time, you'll find me narrow-minded and unable to hold my own compared to your daughters whom you raise personally by your side.

Wu Lianyi smiled and frankly pointed out the gap between them.

"She enjoyed the luxurious life that was rightfully mine. How can you know I wouldn't resent Zhao Jianrou after seeing it with my own eyes What if we clash in the future Whose side would you be on"

Facing Wu Lianyi's questioning, both of their faces changed, as if they also realized the reason behind the Feng family's actions.

"Ripples, what do you want to do"

Zhao Fenglin faced his biological daughter's string of questions. Although he felt pain in his heart, he was also pleased. After all, she was his own flesh and blood. Seeing her so perceptive, he ignored the tears in his wife's eyes and directly asked.

“If I had a soft home, I definitely wouldn’t go back. Even if I accepted this fact, it would take time to digest. I believe she feels the same way. For now, let's just keep things as they are! My studies are going well. Even if I don't move to Shanghai, I can get into my dream university.”

Wu Lianyi spoke directly.

"Okay, we respect your decision."

Zhao Fenglin finished speaking, then pulled out a bank card and pushed it towards Wu Lianyi: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Here's some pocket money for you. Keep it, and you can buy yourself something you like later. The password is the date of our first meeting yesterday."

Thank you, Father.

Wu Lianyi knew this was compensation from the two of them, and she generously accepted it.

After that, the two people asked questions and Wu Lianyi answered. The atmosphere was no longer as stiff as at the beginning, in short, everything was developing in a positive direction.

On their way home, the communicator suddenly asked:

"Executor, you seem to dislike Zhao Xianrou. Why"asked why she hadn't come to class these past two days. Liàn yī smiled and explained that she had been absent because of a cold, and someone immediately offered to lend her their notes from the past t...
