CHAPTER 833: CHAPTER 744: DISLOCATED LIVES 32

Unexpectedly, Wen Jianyun had a toothache again this time. It was obvious that he was worried about his own affairs. Wen Shuangshuang was once again certain that Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun loved her, just like how Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao loved Fang Zhijin even more; they loved her more than anyone else.

Wen Shuangshuang wanted to know why Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun had changed their attitude, or rather, what exactly Fang Zhijin had done to make a couple who loved her so much turn cold, to the point that they didn’t even want to see her.

Seeing Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun still troubled, Wen Shuangshuang couldn’t bear it, so she came down to sit opposite them. After deliberating for a moment, she said, "Dad, Mom, I know you can’t bear to part with me, and I can’t bear to leave you. I really don’t want to leave you. To me, those biological parents are like strangers who suddenly appeared, making me very resistant in my heart."

Wen Shuangshuang reached out with one hand to hold Wen Jianyun’s clenched hand resting on his knee, and with the other hand, she grasped Liu Yun’s cold hand, taking a deep breath and forcing a somewhat strained smile on her face.

"Dad, Mom, I don’t want to leave you, but I can’t be selfish like this. I’ve been occupying the identity of your biological daughter for over a decade. I heard my biological parents are just ordinary working-class people. That means I’ve enjoyed a life that should have been enjoyed by your biological daughter, while she lived a frugal life. This is unfair to her, so I should return the identity to her."

"But I’m also very selfish. I still crave Dad and Mom’s love, and I’m even unjustifiably jealous of the biological daughter who should have returned to enjoy your love. I’m afraid to face my biological parents, who are like strangers to me but have suddenly intruded into my life. So Dad and Mom, even if I leave, can you still love me as your daughter?"

Wen Shuangshuang’s words instantly brought Liu Yun to tears. She hugged Wen Shuangshuang tightly, crying, "My dear daughter, you will always be my daughter. Mom will always be your mom. You don’t have to leave. Our family can afford to raise two daughters."

Wen Jianyun also held onto Wen Shuangshuang’s hand, "Shuangshuang, don’t worry, your mom and I will always be your parents. You don’t need to leave. From now on, you can live with Mom and Dad. We can give more money to the Fang Family. It’s like having another sister in the family; nothing will change."

Wen Shuangshuang shook her head with a bitter smile, "Dad, Mom, you also have to think about your biological daughter. If I stay, how can you let her return? If she comes back, won’t people say she’s someone who loves wealth? She abandoned her poor parents once she found rich ones.

If she doesn’t come back, how is that fair to her? Being forced to separate from her biological parents for so many years, only to finally learn the truth but unable to return to your side, and how could I bear that Mom and Dad can’t reunite with their biological daughter?

So, it’s necessary for your daughter to leave, but even if she leaves, she’ll remember you as her parents. I can earn money now, and when I turn eighteen, I’ll buy a house outside, a big house, and then I’ll bring you to live there too.

By then, we’ll be reunited. We just have to endure these two years. At worst, I’ll come back often to see Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad can’t pamper your biological daughter so much that you forget to love me because then I’ll be heartbroken. If I get heartbroken, I won’t talk to you anymore."

The last sentence was said with a playful tone and a smile, as if casually spoken, but it was actually Wen Shuangshuang’s true intention.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun didn’t know what Wen Shuangshuang was thinking but were moved and felt guilty by their daughter’s understanding. They suddenly realized the blow their daughter received from learning she wasn’t their biological child, especially at such a tender age.

As parents, they should be the ones consoling their daughter, but their daughter was the one comforting and consoling them, which made Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun heartbroken.

Because of Wen Shuangshuang’s thoughtfulness, the barrier that rose in their hearts when they found out their daughter wasn’t biological quickly disappeared. Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun truly couldn’t bear to let Wen Shuangshuang go, but as Wen Shuangshuang said, if she didn’t leave, their biological daughter couldn’t return either.

Good thing their daughter was capable of earning big money at a young age. As Shuangshuang said, it wasn’t great for them to raise two kids, which might lead to gossip about their biological daughter. But if Shuangshuang supported them in their old age, no one would talk, especially since Shuangshuang had that capability.

Thinking of this, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun felt somewhat relieved, thinking they wouldn’t separate from their daughter for too long. Shuangshuang would soon turn sixteen, so in a full two years, they could live together again.

Meanwhile, at the Fang Family, Fang Zhijin was also saying goodbye to Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao. Fang Zhijin seemed very reluctant to leave, but Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao’s expressions weren’t very pleasant. After all, Fang Zhijin’s insistence on finding her biological parents hurt them deeply.

Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao always thought they loved this daughter. Even after having a son, their love for their daughter only increased. But they didn’t expect Fang Zhijin to be so eager to find her biological parents, whom she hadn’t seen since birth, which broke their hearts.

Fang Zhijin also realized she was too impulsive this time. Her previous calculations that Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao would always remember her goodness and treat her as their biological daughter were likely in vain. But she couldn’t let Wen Shuangshuang wholeheartedly receive Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao’s love.

Fang Zhijin lowered her head and prepared herself emotionally. Her eyes filled with tears, and with a thud, she knelt before Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her expression looked very sorrowful. Fang Zhijin spoke, her voice choked with emotion.

"Dad, Mom, I know you’re upset because I insisted on finding my biological parents, but please believe me, it’s not because I don’t love you. I’m just unwilling to accept that I’m not your biological daughter.

I just want to know why I switched identities with your child. Is it because I’m a daughter, and your biological child is a boy, so my biological parents swapped me with your biological son?

I intended to confront my biological parents if they really thought like this, to question them face to face why they did this. But I never thought the outcome would be so dramatic, that it was actually a nurse’s mistake that swapped the babies."

Fang Zhijin’s excuse had many flaws, but Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao, like Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun loved Wen Shuangshuang, loved Fang Zhijin. Though there was still some knot in their hearts, they forgave Fang Zhijin.

Thinking that the daughter they cherished so much was about to become someone else’s daughter filled their hearts with pain and reluctance. They reached out to help Fang Zhijin to her feet.
