An Tongtong had already sat on the front passenger seat when she heard his words. She looked in the direction Yan Xu’s eyes were aimed at and saw Ye Shaohua at a glance.
In fact, An Tongtong had already seen Ye Shaohua at the previous competition and naturally recognized her.
“She is in the Third school, what’s wrong?” An Tongtong’s heart was a little vigilant, but she still spoke in a gentle and calm way. When she mentioned the “Third school”, these two words, her tone was very indifferent.
Third school was the most embarrassing school, and families with a little bit of asset would probably not let their children be put in this school.
If you studied well, you would directly stay in the First school. If you studied a little bit, you would almost directly be put in the private school. These two schools were where all the best teachers in Jingcheng taught.
The Third school was basically the place where the salaried class temporary worker’s children were staying. Their grades were not particularly good. People with good results like Xu Chenghao were also of a different kind.
“Don’t you think she looks like Uncle and Aunt1?” Hearing Third Sschool, Yan Xu also regained his gaze, but still said one sentence.
An Family had several generations of homes2 who were still rich and powerful, so there should not be any relatives in Third school.
An Tongtong heard his words and smiled. “In the world, there are millions of people who look like each other.”
Neither of them kept this episode in mind.
Ye Shaohua also returned home. They lived in a outmoded neighborhood. Ye Guoliang was an assistant doctor. Lin Meizhi was a nurse. They had a bit of savings from the past 20 years, but it was very difficult to buy an apartment here.
They had bought this old apartment in the early years. If it was now, they definitely wouldn’t be able to afford it.
A murder case had happened downstairs previously, so the apartment price was also much lower. Ye Guoliang was planning to change apartment recently, but this apartment was still not good to sell. Now there were not many people who were willing to buy second-hand housing,so they could only rent it out.
But if this happened, they would not have much money on hand.
When Ye Shaohua arrived home, both husband and wife were at home.
“You’re back?” Ye Guoliang glanced at Ye Shaohua and simply asked a question. He did not ask where she went, nor did he ask her why she came back so late.
Ye Shaohua thought about the original body’s young appearance. She did not speak, and directly returned to her own room.
This was exactly the former body’s usual way of interacting with her father and mother.3
Ye Shaohua even doubted that they knew that her college entrance examination results were coming out.
When Ye Shaohua closed the door, Lin Meizhi started to talk: “How is the hospital’s file investigation?”
“The investigation had no result,” Ye Guoqing sighed. “I don’t know where our biological daughter is, how have things been for her in these years.”
“It’s not our own (child) then it’s just not our own,” Lin Meizhi looked at Ye Shaohua’s closed door. “We raised her but she is so indifferent.”
When Lin Meizhi first gave birth to Ye Shaohua, it was the promotion period of her career. However, because Ye Shaohua was a waste of time4, and Ye Guoliang could not waste his time, he still rushed to the hospital every day.
It could be said that Lin Meizhi had looked after Ye Shaohua alone. Their home’s elders only returned from the countryside after a few days.
Thus, she always complained about Ye Shaohua’s birth. Both of them were doctors and nurses in the hospital. They had to work overtime from time to time, so they were too busy to pay attention to Ye Shaohua. The feelings between them could be said to be awfully weak.
When Ye Shaohua was finally sent to the kindergarten, she was three years old. The number of words she said to her parents at that time was not as high as the number of words she spoke to her grandmother in B City.
When Ye Shaohua grew up a bit, the kindergarten teacher said that Ye Shaohua was a little autistic. The husband and wife, these two people also regretted not having accompanied their child growing up, so they began to accompanying her. During that time, Ye Shaohua was a lot more cheerful.
Not long after, the couple found out that she had an hereditary heart disease.
Ye Family and Lin Family had been on the road for several generations and they all didn’t have this medical history. Both of them were studying medicine and they could naturally make a lot of associative connections. Ye Guoqing and Lin Meizhi immediately made a paternity and maternity test. Ye Shaohua was really not their own.
That year, family planning had come out, and they could not have a second one5.
The two of them had been looking at the hospital file of those days. However they searched everywhere and couldn’t find the household who was mistakenly holding their own daughter.
The husband and wife were keen on finding their own biological daughter. They didn’t pay much attention to Ye Shaohua. Since small, the original body had not known what she had done wrong, to have her parents neglect herself this much?
Her antisocial temperament had become more serious since that time.
Just when Ye Family’s parents were anxious, An family’s people also discovered that the daughter they had raised for 20 years was not a biological one.
But all in all, they had raised her for 20 years, so she was no different from a biological one. The An family did not intend to say it, but the old patriarch couldn’t let An family’s blood wander about outside all destitute.
Father An also wanted to know how his own daughter was, and found Ye family.
Both of them had done paternity tests several times, and it was indeed a mistake.
“It looks like, this is our daughter,” Ye Guoqing took the newspaper thet reported that An Tongtong won the third prize of the International Biology Competition. “She looks like you, still so outstanding.”
Both husband and wife’s eyes were brimming with tears of excitement looking at their own biological daughter, feeling proud of her and also sad.
They had not participated in the first 18 years of her life.
When Ye Shaohua checked the scores and arrived back home, the two emerged and hugged her, even taking her own bag. Afterwards, they told Ye Shaohua about the mistake.
Then they suggested that the two households see each other at a restaurant that very day.
At this, Ye Shaohua merely raised her eyebrows. Although she was a little autistic, her two pitch-black eyes were full of glare, and there was always a kind of elegant and high-spirited aura on her body which made people not dare to approach.
Ye father and Ye mother saw her with this attitude and gave each other a glance. They raised her for 18 years, and did not have her lack anything, yet she unexpectedly also was not reluctant to leave.
However, the two were too anxious to see their own biological daughter, and did not pay much attention.
By the time they reached their destination, Ye Family’s husband and wife saw gold and jade in glorious splendor6.This restaurant had no dish for less than four digits. They discovered that the family their biological daughter stayed at did not seem simple.
The atmosphere of this kind of restaurant was totally different from what they saw in their everyday life. Both of them were somewhat ill at ease.
Only Ye Shaohua seemed leisurely and walked in the main hall.
When the two people entered, there were three people sitting inside, father and mother An, and Ye Shaohua’s nominally older brother, An Tingjun, who was only three years older than Ye Shaohua, and was a third year university student in the classic wind music department.
On the side also stood Father An’s main assistant.
Mother An looked at the blossoming Ye Shaohua who did not look like she came out from a small household and was somewhat relieved in her heart. It seemed that her adoptive father and mother had not treated her unfairly.
However, complex emotions appeared in the bottom of her eyes. Although An Tongtong was not her biological child, she had been raised as one for 18 years. An Tongtong had long been in accordance to her preference and she had thrown all her love into her.
This time, Tongtong had another pair of parents, which was somewhat hard to accept for mother An.
“You sit,” mother An gently looked at Ye Shaohua. Although she was a bit estranged, she looked at her face that was similar to her own. She also had a very favorable impression of her. “Tongtong and Yan Xu went to the Education Bureau. I originally wanted to arrange a table to celebrate, so I rushed her to come over.”
When she brought up An Tongtong, there was a rare soft light in her eyes.
It seems that she liked An Tongtong very much.
“Tongtong, are her grades very good?” Hearing Mother An mention this, Ye Guoqing and his wife were filled with pride.
“Yes ah, this time she took the third place in the national examination,” as Mother An said this, she smiled more brilliantly, “Since childhood, she did not let our heart worry.”
This was indeed the third place in the whole country, and several famous universities were fighting over her. Ye Guoqing and his wife had not thought that An Tongtong was this good. The two people almost cried from happiness.
If it were not because An family was present, they would have called all their relatives to tell the good news.
Mother An was very humane and did not ask about Ye Shaohua’s results. According to the information she had checked, Ye Shaohua was studying in the Third School, and her grades were very ordinary. Speaking of it at this time would definitely be unpleasant.
However, mentioning An Tongtong, the two parties finally had a common topic, and chatted very happily.
“We have talked it over, it’s better to let the two children switch.” Seeing that An family was this wealthy, Father Ye and Mother Ye were flustered. They were afraid that once Ye Shaohua returned (to An family), that household would be cold to their own biological daughter.
Upon hearing this sentence, Assistant An, who was standing on the side, looked at Ye Family’s three people and did not say anything.
It was very difficult to find ordinary people whose heart would remain motionless after seeing this kind of riches and honor reaching the sky.
Only, this kind of small-minded family, compared to Miss Tongtong, still fell short by a large amount.
Hearing this sentence, the originally bored to death An Tingjun sneered, he couldn’t help himself. He ‘teng’ stood up and looked at Ye Shaohua. “Even if you raised the wrong one, why change now? Because of you, my younger sister and Yan Xu’s engagement has been canceled. I say, did you not deliberately pick this time to come back? I’m telling you, don’t even think about it. it’s not your thing, no matter how you fight over it, it’s not yours!”
