Translator: 549690339
The purpose of his visit this time was to uncover the truth and to sternly warn Xu Yanlai, that someone like him with his status, cannot be casually threatened.
If she dares to talk nonsense outside, he will make her life worse than death!
Xu Yanlai gathered her frightened spirit, steadied herself, looked at Xiang Jiechao, and said with teary eyes: “Brother, what I’ve said is true! You really are my birth brother!”
She took out a photo from her purse and handed it to Xiang Jiechao: “Brother, look, this is a picture of our father when he was young. You now look exactly like our father when he was young, as if you were both carved from the same mold! If you still don’t believe it, I can go and have a parentage test with you!
I guarantee that everything I said is true, word for word. I haven’t lied!”
Xiang Jiechao looked at the photo in his hand, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy hole, his body was cold, and his fingertips were slightly trembling.
At this moment, his vain hope was completely shattered in the face of powerful reality.
It was true.
What this woman named Xu Yanlai said, was true!
He was not the son of the Xiang family after all, but the son of the Xu family!
Back then, his mother, in order to save his life, had swapped him with the Xiang family’s child, exchanging the Xiang family’s child with the Xu family’s child!
But now that this secret had been hidden for so many years, why tell him at this moment?
Would it not be better to bury this secret forever?
His eyes were bloodshot, and he abruptly looked at Xu Yanlai: “What about that child from the Xiang family? Is he still alive?”
Xu Yanlai replied: “He’s already dead.”
Xiang Jiechao was tightly relieved.
He loosened his collar, and was about to say something when Xu Yanlai also said: “But that woman’s son is still alive, I just saw him. He was with Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei!”
Xu Yanlai’s face was as white as frost from nervousness: “Brother, what to do? Gu Junzhu is so powerful. What if he finds out that the bastard is a seed of the Xiang family?”
“Which woman?” Xiang Jiechao asked puzzledly: “What woman?”
Xu Yanlai hurriedly said: “Brother, back then the Xiang family had a daughter. The midwife who delivered her was our maternal aunt. Our mother and the woman from the Xiang family gave birth at the same time, in the same birthing room, and both births were assisted by our aunt.
The conditions at the time were chaotic, and only our aunt was in the delivery room.
When you were born, you weighed only three pounds and were on the verge of death. Our family was poor at that time, the adults didn’t have enough food, let alone you. It would have been impossible for you to survive without proper nourishment.
The Xiang family was a prestigious family at that time. The Xiang family’s daughter-in-law ended up in our town because of disaster relief.
Our mother knew that the Xiang family was wealthy, and only by handing you over to the rich family could you possibly survive.
So, our mother asked our aunt to swap you with the Xiang family’s daughter!”
Listening to this, Xiang Jiechao’s heart was pounding, his eyes were bloodshot, “What about that daughter of the Xiang family?”
It took Xu Yanlai a while to speak: “Our family was too poor at the time, we could barely take care of ourselves, let alone care for a baby. So, our mother left the baby at the doorstep of a single woman in the town.
The single woman named the baby Chen Yuanyuan.
That single woman managed to raise Chen Yuanyuan and send her to college. Chen Yuanyuan even found herself a capable man while in college and got married after graduation.
However, Chen Yuanyuan had poor health and only managed to have a son after many years of marriage.
And not long after giving birth, Chen Yuanyuan tragically died.
The man Chen Yuanyuan married is named Ling Fangzhou, a national scientist who is often busy and unable to take care of the child. Therefore, he left the child with the single woman.
Earlier, the single woman passed away, and Ling Fangzhou brought the child to Jiang City. As I recall, the child’s name is Lingyue…”
