CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER 330

"No, this is a restaurant I’ve just opened recently. I came over today to check on the business."

Lady Suchen has a very pleasant demeanor and speaks in a gentle tone. Her gaze towards Jiang Weiwei is also very kind.

"Oh, so this is your place? You’re amazing! I’ve always wanted to start my own business too, but my family isn’t very supportive. They think playing the piano is the best path for me."

Jiang Weiwei started by lavishing praise on Suchen and then vented her frustration, aiming to elicit Suchen’s empathy.

"Actually, it was my husband who encouraged me to do this, he wanted me to focus my attention on other things."

This is also the reason why Suchen has been so busy lately, almost forgetting about Jiang Weiwei and not seeking her out for a paternity test.

Jiang Weiwei’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

If Suchen decided to move on, replacing her frantic search for her daughter with a bustling life, would her plan to change her fate with Suchen’s help also come to nothing?

Moreover, once Suchen truly let go of such thoughts, Jiang Weiwei felt she would quickly be discarded by the Jiang family again and return to her state before that banquet.

So apart from feeling somewhat disheartened, Jiang Weiwei also felt a smidge of relief.

Relieved that she had made a special trip to this restaurant today, she managed to reestablish her presence in front of Suchen and detect the issue in time.

"Really? Your husband is very kind to you. But have you stopped searching for your daughter? Perhaps she is suffering somewhere right now, hoping that you can find her as soon as possible?"

Jiang Weiwei’s tone suddenly became sharper, causing Suchen to frown involuntarily.

So Jiang Weiwei hurriedly apologized: "I’m sorry, Aunt Suchen. Perhaps because I’m also adopted, I couldn’t help but empathize."

Suchen rubbed her forehead wearily and shook her head: "It’s alright. But do your adoptive parents treat you poorly?"

Jiang Weiwei quickly shook her head, her fear of someone discovering the truth apparent: "No, they are quite good."

But such a reaction made Suchen even more suspicious.

Jiang Weiwei explained, "They just want me to be successful sooner, I don’t blame them."

Suchen nodded but surmised in her heart that Jiang Weiwei did not like playing the piano and was forced by the Jiang family to learn it.

Suchen couldn’t help but think, if her daughter was still here, would she be like the Jiang family, forcing her daughter to excel?

That shouldn’t be the case!

More than her daughter’s achievements, she hoped her daughter would have a happy and joyful life...

Afterwards, she conversed with Jiang Weiwei on a few more topics before asking her, "Weiwei, I have an intrusive request, could you give me one of your hairs?"

Hearing this, Jiang Weiwei’s heart raced with excitement.

But she kept her composure and feigned confusion: "Aunt Suchen, you’re not thinking of..."

Suchen did not hide her intentions, saying, "Yes, even though I know you’ve been tested and found your family, over the years, I haven’t been able to let go of my obsession. I thought, even if there was only a one in ten million chance, it would be wonderful to find my daughter in my lifetime."

"Aunt Suchen, I understand." Then Jiang Weiwei not only plucked a hair for Suchen but also proactively asked for Suchen’s contact information.

"I don’t mean anything else, I just think it’s really not easy for you to search for your daughter among all these people. If you don’t mind, you can share any troubles and unhappiness with me, I can be your emotional dustbin."

As Jiang Weiwei said these words, her expression was extremely sincere.

So Suchen ended up giving Jiang Weiwei her contact information...

*

But as soon as Suchen returned to the hotel she was staying at in Yan City, Lai De also arrived.

As soon as he entered, Lai De asked Suchen, "Did you ask someone to do a paternity test again today?"

Suchen knew that Lai De would definitely be informed once a paternity test was conducted on her end.

So Suchen did not conceal it: "Yes, it’s that Jiang Weiwei we saw at the dinner party last time."

"But darling, didn’t we agree that we wouldn’t keep checking over and over again on those who are impossible candidates?"

Lai De’s mood suddenly became irritable, all because Suchen had been conducting various paternity tests over the years, draining her immensely.

Especially recently, her mental state has deteriorated considerably, and her eyesight has declined considerably as well.

Therefore, Lai De felt that he could not let Suchen continue to wear herself out like this.

Otherwise, if the daughter is not found, Suchen might pass away first!

Thus, after completing the dinner event for the Jiang Family, Lai De took it upon himself to inspire Suchen to open a restaurant and agreed with her to only conduct paternity tests when they found information that closely matched their daughter.

These past few days, Suchen has been doing quite well, focusing her entire being on managing the restaurant.

Why was she suddenly cast back to her old self today?

But Suchen, with eyes brimming with tears, questioned Lai De, "What if our daughter is suffering somewhere, hoping that we find her as soon as possible?"

Lai De frowned on the spot, his deep eyes filled with inquiries.

Because in Lai De’s opinion, Suchen was not a person prone to overthinking things.

Even if over the years they were not searching for their daughter, they would not be speculating about it.

Someone must be deliberately leading her on!

"Was it that Jiang Weiwei who spoke of such things to you?"

Lai De did not like people with dark intentions approaching Suchen, as her mental state was already poor.

If she continues to drain herself, Suchen’s mental health would definitely be impacted.

"It wasn’t her. It’s just that I feel I can’t give up on finding my daughter, I can’t let her suffer in some unknown corner..."

The thought of her daughter suffering made Suchen extremely distressed, causing her tears to fall.

Seeing this, Lai De could not pursue other matters, and could only hold Suchen in his arms, repeatedly comforting her...

*

Elsewhere, Jiang Weiwei began the paternity test with Suchen and also exchanged contact information, which "inadvertently" reached the ears of Jiang Tairan.

Therefore, that very night, Jiang Tairan hurriedly set up a banquet at Jiang’s Old Mansion to honor Jiang Weiwei for her major contribution.

"Our Weiwei is indeed capable, to have quickly found her way into Lady Suchen’s heart."

"You truly are the pride of our Jiang Family."

Dressed in CL’s custom-made attire, Jiang Weiwei was flattered and fawned over by various aunts and uncles, floating on air.

Even Xiao Qingyun, who didn’t usually like dealing with her, was unexpectedly generous with her.

"Weiwei, you are about to become a daughter of THE ONE Group, why still wear CL custom-made? In my opinion, you should have a few dresses tailor-made by Yunshang! How about it, once we’ve finished dinner, shall your little aunt take you for a fitting?"

Jiang Weiwei was well aware of how rare it was for Xiao Qingyun, the stingy one, to offer something to her.

If it were any other brand, Jiang Weiwei would surely welcome it.

But Yunshang...

Ever since she was turned away at Yunshang’s flagship store in Emperor City, Jiang Weiwei still disbelieving, tried to get a custom fitting at the Yan City branch upon her return.

But just like before, she was directly turned away by the branch manager.

So now, even if Jiang Weiwei still loved the brand, she could no longer wear clothes from that brand.

"No need, little aunt! I already have enough clothes to wear," Jiang Weiwei replied, swallowing down that feeling of humiliation, and smiled in response to Xiao Qingyun.

But Xiao Qingyun said, "Being polite to your little aunt means you don’t see me as family."

Xiao Qingyun had done many things in opposition to the main branch and had a very tense relationship with Yu Man.

Now that the main branch could possibly soar with Jiang Weiwei’s help, Xiao Qingyun also feared that they would hold grudges against them and not bring along his family.

Therefore, Xiao Qingyun felt that it was necessary to spend some money to curry favor with Jiang Weiwei and the main branch at this critical juncture.
