“Mom!” Yue Feng said, stopping Old Madam Yue. “Let them finish.”
Gu Qingqing said, “Shi Jin is Mr. and Mrs. Yue’s child, but Yue Yu is not our child.”
“How is that possible? None of you have done a DNA test yet…” Yue Yu couldn’t believe the truth.
Previously, she was afraid that she was a nameless wild child. It was not easy for her to have this hope of the Li family. Now, was Gu Qingqing going to shatter it again?
She did not approve!
“Yue Yu, my husband and I only had two children. They’re my two sons, Gu Jingyuan and Gu Zehan. We didn’t have any daughters, so you can’t be our child.”
“No! That’s impossible!” Yue Yu’s hopes were shattered. She refused to accept this reality. “Then why are you raising Shi Jin?”
Gu Qingqing said softly, “Back then, it was Shi Jin’s grandfather who brought Shi Jin back. He said that he picked up this poor child and asked us to raise her. At that time, we were also very busy. We wanted to find a better family to raise her, but Shi Jin’s grandfather insisted that we raise her. Back then, Shi Jin was not in good health when she was young. It was only when we were sent to the hospital that she was switched with the Shi family’s Shi Xuexin. Shi Jin had a rough life since she was young, and it was not easy for her to get to where she is now. Now that she has found her biological parents, we are very relieved. However, Yue Yu indeed has nothing to do with us.”
Yue Yu collapsed onto the couch.
Hearing this, Madam Yue looked at Shi Jin with heartache and tears in her eyes.
Old Madam Yue snorted coldly, clearly not convinced by Gu Qingqing’s words.
“Since you want to investigate, you can also check if we have anything to do with Yue Yu,” Gu Qingqing said.
Yue Feng immediately called the previous doctor over.
Yue Yu immediately raised her hand hopefully and gave it to the doctor to draw blood.
She could only wait for this outcome. It was the only one that would give her a chance to change the desperate situation she was in.
“Investigate,” Gu Qingqing said softly after drawing her blood.
After some investigation, they found that Gu Qingqing and Li Juekai were indeed not related to her by blood.
The verification report was quickly sent over, and everyone could see the clear results.
Despair surrounded Yue Yu. She was resentful and indignant, but there was nothing she could do.
When Shi Jin looked at her, there was no trace of sympathy.
It was also because Shi Jin had yet to find any evidence to implicate her for the accident in France and today’s incident. Otherwise, how could Yue Yu sit here safely?
Madam Yue looked at Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing. “Please forgive me for being blunt, but did you already know that Shi Jin is my biological daughter?”
“It wasn’t too early, but it’s been a few years. We only got the answer because we saw that her grandfather cared too much for her and sometimes spoke strangely.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me the truth?” Madam Yue was furious and agitated. She stood up, her face flushed. “Why did you not come to tell me? Tell me, why?”
She went forward to grab Gu Qingqing, and Li Juekai quickly protected her.
Shi Jin hurried over and separated the two mothers. “Godmother, calm down.”
Hearing this, Madam Yue’s heart broke. How mocking was it for her biological daughter to call her godmother?
How much it pained her to not have protected her own daughter!
If Shi Jin had not found out the truth in advance, many people would have blamed her for what happened today!
It turned out that her biological daughter had gone through so much. As a mother, she really felt guilty and felt bitter!
“Because we really… Shi Jin’s grandfather instructed us not to tell the truth about this. And we really don’t know why.”
Gu Qingqing was also in a difficult position.
She looked at Shi Jin. “I’m really sorry, Shi Jin. Although we knew these things, we didn’t tell you. Although we didn’t want to add to your troubles, it’s still unfair to you.”
Shi Jin knew Gu Qingqing’s good intentions and said softly, “I understand. It’s okay.”
Old Madam Yue’s tone was stiff. “Your Li family took our Yue family’s child away for no reason. Now, you’re planning to be fine with just a simple sentence? How can there be such a good thing in this world?”
“Old Madam, we…” Li Juekai protected Gu Qingqing, wanting to explain.
However, he was easily interrupted by Old Madam Yue. “I don’t care what purpose your Li family has. Now that such a thing has happened, your Li family must give an explanation! This matter can’t be over so easily!”
Her attitude was very firm. Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing were momentarily speechless.
Yue Yu also cried miserably at the side. “Your Li family is too much. Can’t you give me an explanation for this matter? If I hadn’t been schemed against by you, I would also have my own biological parents and a happy family. I wouldn’t be standing here, despised by everyone and alone.”
Yue Feng and Madam Yue had brought her up single-handedly. After more than twenty years of kinship, their hearts ached when they saw her cry like this.
Old Madam Yue said sternly, “Why? Are you all speechless? Is this how the Li family acts? If this matter gets out, have you thought about the consequences?”
The Li family was already in dire straits. If news of this were to spread, they would be criticized and gossiped about.
However, Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing did not know the reason and were helpless.
Shi Jin stood up and said, “No matter what the Li family did, they will give an explanation when the time comes. Old Madam Yue, why are you being so aggressive?”
“Shi Jin!” The wrinkles on Old Madam Yue’s face wrinkled fiercely. “Don’t forget that you’re of the Yue family’s bloodline! It’s because of what the Li family did that you’re in this state now! If you had lived in the Yue family earlier, why would you be in this state now? Why are you still speaking up for them?”
It was obvious that she looked down on Shi Jin.
Shi Jin ignored her deliberate underestimation and said indifferently, “The elders of the Li family are all very good. They have a noble character and know their limits. They might not be any worse than some people. The tree is big, but there are dead branches. Not everyone in the Yue family is a good person.”
“You!” Old Madam Yue was white with anger.
Yue Yu hurried over and patted her chest. “Grandma, are you alright? I’ll get you some water.”
“Alright.” Yue Feng mediated. “That’s all for now. After we discuss this with Old Master Li…”
“There’s no need to wait until after,” came Old Master Li’s booming voice.
