CHAPTER 1016: CHAPTER 1018: MY DAUGHTER

"Back then, she was the one who delivered my baby. I must ask her, what truly happened to my daughter!" Jiang Wanru had thought a lot about it on her way here. If her child was indeed not dead, then the only possible issue would be Jia Sufen!

Back then, because her grandmother was gravely ill, she traveled all the way to South City, three months pregnant, and stayed until the end to send her grandmother off. With her now nine months pregnant, she couldn’t risk a long journey back to Ningbei.

Seeing her saddened by the loss of her grandmother, Su Jinrong took her on a trip to Gaoliang County, about two hours away, to cheer her up. Their original plan was to return to the city from Gaoliang County, and the child would be born safely. But unexpectedly, she went into labor early in Gaoliang County.

In Gaoliang County, her cousin Jia Sufen was working at the hospital. Believing in her family, Jiang Wanru never doubted that anything was wrong with the child!

For twenty-two years, Jiang Wanru hadn’t had much contact with the Jia Family, but she knew that Jia Sufen had been transferred to the city’s First People’s Hospital. Before she had a chance to inquire, Su Lie heard a bombshell of a story!

"Nurse, the Director Jiang you mentioned earlier, is that Jia Sufen? Did she really swap someone else’s baby twenty-two years ago?" Su Lie found a knowledgeable-looking nurse to ask.

The nurse, curious, glanced at Su Lie. His strong aura and handsome appearance dissipated her initial annoyance, and instead, she said, "Yes, it’s true. The Gu Family is causing an uproar about it. Right now, they’re waiting for questioning at the police station. But no one knows whose child was swapped back then?"

"Which Gu Family?" Su Lie was perplexed with only bits and pieces of the information.

If it weren’t for Su Lie’s good looks, the nurse wouldn’t have bothered to explain. Seeing how badly he wanted to know, the nurse didn’t hold back, vividly recounting the incidents between the Gu Family and the Xu Family.

She knew the names Gu Family, Gu Mingzhu, and Xu Nianhua clearly. She had witnessed it all, critiquing the Gu Family’s immorality while lamenting over Director Jiang. Such a good doctor in the hospital, yet involved in something so unethical as baby swapping, tarnishing medical ethics.

"Do you know which year or hospital it was?"

Su Lie was almost a hundred percent certain that his sister was the swapped and abandoned Xu Nianhua.

"Perhaps it was ’60, seemed to be Gaoliang County Hospital. Not sure about the rest," the nurse replied vaguely about things she wasn’t clear on.

"Thank you."

Su Lie thought for a moment, then took ten yuan from his bag, saying, "Thank you for telling me all this."

After leaving the money, Su Lie walked away directly.

The nurse was dumbfounded looking at this generous tip!

"How did it go?" Jiang Wanru jumped up in excitement as soon as she saw Su Lie return. If it weren’t for Su Jinrong insisting she rest, she wouldn’t have bothered. All she could think of now was verifying if Xu Nianhua was her daughter!

If she wasn’t her daughter, why did they look so alike?

If she was her daughter, why did Jia Sufen tell her that her baby was dead?

"Mom, don’t get agitated." Su Lie, knowing about her health, feared she might not be able to handle it, so he helped her sit down, saying, "This is a long story."

"Where is Jia Sufen? Take me to her!" Unable to wait for Su Lie to explain further, Jiang Wanru stood up and headed outside.
