Fortunately, there weren’t many customers in the shop, therefore the lady’s actions didn’t attract too much attention.
In her heart, Jing Yun Zhao panicked. She raised her eyes to carefully scrutinize the pair. While the lady was crying endlessly, the husband and wife’s attitudes were earnest. Both her eyes were red from crying and looked to really be rather sincere.
She kept on calling her ‘eldest brat’; the implication of which made it hard for her imagination not to run wild.
The other party cried for a good while before they took the seats beside them, unafraid of other people’s thoughts. They stared hard at Jing Yun Zhao as if they were afraid she would run away and spoke carefully, “Eldest brat, these years we’ve wronged you. We thought that you- you had already…”
“Isn’t the child fine? Don’t say anymore nonsense!” The man quickly stopped her.
“Would you two please clarify what you mean?” Jing Yun Zhao frowned.
When she found out about her identity in her past life, she had also thought about finding her biological parents. But by then, she had already been imprisoned.
She didn’t really expect much, however. This was Hua Ning County, in such a small place, wanting her parents’ identity to be some noble and prosperous family was nigh impossible. Plus, if their family circumstances were really not bad, there wouldn’t have been a reason for them to abandon her in the first place.
That’s why, when she looked at the two in front of her, Jing Yun Zhao already half-believed them.
“Kid, you probably have a small jade gourd pendant on you right…?” The pair’s gaze met each other before they asked.
Jing Yun Zhao’s gaze was complicated, but she nodded.
“Then we’re definitely not wrong! You’re definitely our child! Your surname is Jing, it’s carved onto the jade. Back then, when I gave birth to you, your grandmother saw that you were a girl, so she secretly threw you away behind your father’s and my backs. I looked around the entire village and still couldn’t find you! Our eldest daughter, please don’t blame me. During the past few years, I’ve been missing you too…” The lady sobbed.
Jing Yun Zhao pursed her lips, while her expression was still calm.
Xiao Hai Qing beside her was already so shocked that she couldn’t say anything, that mouth of hers opened so wide you could stuff an egg inside. She carefully broke the silence after a while, calling out for her friend, “Yun Zhao…
These were Jing Yun Zhao’s biological parents?
But without knowing why, she had felt that it was strange. To be more accurate, she was a little unwilling to accept this.
Of course, it wasn’t that she looked down on how the pair looked poor and hard-worked, but that they really didn’t look like her friend. Not in their eyes or even their silhouette, there wasn’t even a single speck of similarity between them. The only convincing point was the jade.
“Yun Zhao, the Qiao family knows that you have a jade on you,” Xiao Hai Qing suddenly remembered, so she reminded her.
With such a sentence from Xiao Hai Qin, the lady beside them instantly spoke up, “You suspect that we’re imposters? Young student, you think too badly of us…Eldest daughter, if you’re really not willing to believe us, that’s fine too. Hasn’t technology advanced? Let’s go do a paternity test. You’re definitely my child, how can I even misunderstand something like this?”
With the conversation having already reached this point, Xiao Hai Qing had nothing more to say.
But to be able to do a paternity test was for the best.
Jing Yun Zhao also agreed to this idea. Her heart long turned into a tangled mess.
She would occasionally think about the matter regarding her biological parents, but she didn’t have any expectations. She didn’t even think she would ever meet them. To want to stay calm now? Impossible.
“Child, there’s no mistake…” The lady once again wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the man, “The child has just met us, she won’t be able to accept it so quickly. Then let’s do this, child. I’ll leave you a phone number. You tell me where you’re staying and how to contact you. Also, tell your foster parents about us. Let’s go do the paternity test tomorrow, okay?
