The journey from Minjiang City to Xingxing Orphanage is not far, but the location of Qingxi County is relatively remote, so the last section of the road is a little bumpy.
The old man Feng was getting old, the driver and the housekeeper were worried that he would not be able to bear it, but they soon realized that this worry was unnecessary, because the old man seemed to be in good spirits, and he took the initiative to chat with them along the way.
After arriving at the destination, as soon as Old Man Feng got out of the car, the current director and accompanying staff who were waiting outside the gate of the orphanage greeted him, and politely invited the group inside.
The reason why the staff are so polite is naturally because Mr. Feng donated a large sum of money to the orphanage a few days ago, and today he sent someone to send supplies over in advance.
For the orphanage, Mr. Feng is a distinguished guest, so naturally he should be greeted with the highest etiquette.
The orphanage has learned in advance that the old man will donate so much money to the Xingxing Orphanage because his granddaughter was separated from her family before and grew up in this orphanage.
In order to match their preferences, the staff told the old man about Jiang Li's childhood. For example, Jiang Li was very obedient, her grades were also good, and she would help take care of children younger than her in her spare time.
Hearing the staff talk about this, Mr. Feng felt really uncomfortable, but he wanted to hear more.
He couldn't help asking the staff about the grandmother of the orphanage and a child named Jiang Tang, because they were mentioned relatively frequently when chatting with Xiao Jiangli before.
The staff told Mr. Feng that Jiang Tang was a third-year high school student and was in school today.
As for the dean's grandma that Jiang Li talked about, she was actually the former dean of the orphanage. Later, when she got older, the orphanage was handed over to the current dean, but because she liked the group of children who were raised by her. , so she still lives in the orphanage most of the time.
Mr. Feng soon met the former dean surnamed Jiang, who was a very kind old man.
Dean Jiang was also very happy to see Mr. Feng, not because Mr. Feng donated money and supplies to the orphanage, but because Mr. Feng would appear here, which meant that he really cared about Jiang Li.
Dean Jiang is a very familiar person. After chatting with Mr. Feng for a few words, he involuntarily opened up the conversation.
"When Jiang Li's parents came to pick her up, I was actually quite worried, because the Jiang family had confirmed the child's identity early on, but it took a week to pick her up, and that Mr. Jiang didn't seem to be easy-going."
Old Man Feng sneered, "It's not just that he's difficult to get along with, he's like a stinking stone in a latrine, I don't even bother to talk to him."
Hearing what he said, Dean Jiang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Then Jiang Li is following your old man now?"
The old man Feng nodded, "Our Feng family is about to come over for the custody of Xiao Jiangli. This time, we are actually here to send invitations, because after we recognize this child, we are going to hold a banquet and introduce her to everyone in the circle. People know you, as an elder who took care of Xiao Jiangli, she definitely hoped that you could be there."
Dean Jiang nodded again and again, "Seeing that she gets along so well with her family, I feel relieved. Jiang Li is good at everything, but she is a little introverted and doesn't know how to express herself, but she is actually a very emotional person." people."
Fearing that Mr. Feng would not believe it, she gave an example: "This child has always had good grades, and he is reluctant to spend the scholarship he gets every year. He always buys books and stationery for his younger brothers and sisters, and encourages those children to study hard and use them in the future. Knowledge alters your fate."
Old Man Feng nodded again and again, "I know, this child is very good, and he is very similar to her little uncle."
It's just that her youngest son grew up in rich clothes and fine food, so it's inevitable that he is a little arrogant, and Xiao Jiangli's temper is much gentler than her little uncle.
When Dean Jiang saw that Mr. Feng really liked Jiang Li, he was completely relieved. After accepting the invitation, he said that he would definitely go to the banquet.
After finishing talking with Dean Jiang, Mr. Feng left the orphanage, and then went to the school where his granddaughter was studying.
The old housekeeper discovered that the master said that he was sending invitations, but in fact he was going to listen to those teachers' compliments on Miss Jiang Li.
Fortunately, Ms. Jiang Li is really outstanding. Whether it is the dean and staff of the orphanage, or the school's subject teachers, they all like Miss Jiang Li very much, and they are also very polite to the master.
The old butler couldn't help guessing that if these people came to the master every day to praise Miss Jiang Li, the master might be able to eat two more bowls of rice.
Mr. Feng was in Qingxi County, but the invitations he had written before were sent out one by one by his family.
The invitations that were sent out were like bombs being thrown into the wealthy circle of Minjiang City one by one, blowing everyone up a bit.
Although the Feng family and the Jiang family have hardly had any contact these years, no one in the circle knows that Mr. Feng's only precious daughter eloped with Jiang Huai, a phoenix boy with a handsome face.
Two years after Feng Yun eloped with Jiang Huai, she brought their son Jiang Zhou back to Feng's family, begging her family to forgive her for being ignorant.
The child has already been born, and there is nothing he can do if he doesn't forgive him. Mr. Feng can only hold his nose against Jiang Huai, the son-in-law.
Jianghuai also has some ability, coupled with the support of the Feng family, he quickly made a name for himself, although it is not as good as those wealthy families with rich background, but it is far more than ordinary nouveau riche.
But later, without knowing what happened, Jiang Huai suddenly moved out of the Feng family with his wife and children, and the two families didn't seem to have much contact with each other after that.
Now that old man Feng suddenly said that he found his long-lost granddaughter, it really confused many people.
As we all know, Mr. Feng's granddaughter is the child star Jiang Ruo. She lives well in Jiang's family, so why have she been separated from him for many years
However, someone soon realized that Jianghuai adopted a child from an orphanage some time ago, and transferred the child's school and household registration.
At that time, everyone thought that the girl was Jiang Huai's illegitimate daughter, and they probably brought her back because she was so entangled. As for the adopted daughter, it was just a fig leaf.
This kind of thing is not new among wealthy families, and everyone will joke about it as a joke after dinner, but they won't take it to heart afterwards.
And everyone knew that old man Feng had a very bad temper, so no one dared to mention it in front of him.
Now old man Feng suddenly said that he found his long-lost granddaughter, could it be the adopted daughter of the Jiang family
If this is the case, then the Jiang family's adopted daughter is not only Jiang Huai's biological daughter, but also Feng Yun's biological daughter!
But this doesn't make sense either!
If the so-called adopted daughter was born to Jiang Huai and Feng Yun, why didn't they admit the identity of the child
Everyone in the circle felt that they seemed to understand it, but they didn't fully understand it.
But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the old man of the Feng family wants to throw a banquet in such a big way, so they should be able to know the truth as long as they go out and inquire.
Because of an invitation, people in the circle began to gossip. The matter about Jiang Li and Jiang's brothers and sisters was quickly picked up by everyone.
It turns out that the news of the true and false daughter has already spread to the whole school, right
But Jiang Ruo is not a child star, and now the whole school is discussing her life experience, so it is impossible that there is no activity on Weibo!
When everyone searched, they couldn't help but call it a good guy. There are so many revelations, but none of them have been on the hot search. It seems that Jianghuai deliberately suppressed it!
Some people don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and want to help Jiang Ruo buy a trending search, but they are quickly persuaded.
"The Feng family hasn't moved yet, why are you joining in the fun? Don't Feng Yun go to her father's place to cry for the adoptive daughter, and the old man Feng will come back to trouble you."
Hearing this kind of persuasion, the man quickly suppressed the idea that watching the excitement is not a big deal.
However, the Jiang family was being targeted by people in the circle anyway, and they soon found out that the son of the Jianghuai family was beaten by Tong Yi, the second ancestor of the Tong family.
It is said that Jiang Zhou had a broken rib and a plaster cast on his leg, but Jiang Huai chose to reconcile privately because of the power of the Tong family.
As for the little child star of the Jiang family who is so charming and doted on, he doesn't go to school at all now, saying that her brother is injured and she has to stay in the hospital to take care of him. Few people believe this kind of nonsense at all.
The city was full of storms outside, so it was impossible for Jianghuai to be ignorant of the news.
When Old Man Feng distributed the invitations widely, he was still with his son in the hospital, and he was so angry that he smashed the TV in the ward.
Jiang Huai's expression was ferocious and terrifying, Jiang Ruo trembled in fright, and she almost threw the medicine bowl in her hand.
On the other hand, Jiang Zhou took the medicine bowl as if nothing had happened, and reached out to pat the back of her hand, signaling her to be calm and calm.
Feng Yun had never seen Jiang Huai say such a big word before, she immediately persuaded: "Let's calm down first and think about how to solve the matter, okay? It's useless for you to be angry like this!"
Jiang Huai sneered again and again, "Solve it? How can it be solved now? Unless your dad personally told those people outside that the purpose of those invitations he wrote when he was bored and had nothing to do was just to make fun of everyone."
Hearing what he said, Feng Yun showed an embarrassing expression, her father has always been very stubborn, he had already decided to reveal the identity of Xiao Ge, so how could he stop suddenly.
"At the beginning, the Feng family clearly promised not to disclose Jiang Li's identity, but how long did it take to get custody? They started sending out invitations. Your brother Feng is a villain who betrays his promise!"
Jiang Huai really wanted to say that Old Man Feng was also a villain who backtracked on what he said, but he didn't hesitate to say what he said because of the presence of the two children.
Feng Yun pursed her lips tightly, and it took a while before she spoke: "Ah, he... He is very unreasonable sometimes."
"You said the same thing back then, and you said he was young, so let me not argue with him, do you think he is still young now?" Jiang Huai was very irritable, like a lion trapped in a cage.
"But... But we still have to find a way!" Feng Yun was also very helpless, she knew her brother's character, and also knew that he would not listen to her advice.
Jiang Zhou, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly said, "Actually, it's not completely hopeless."
"What way?" Jiang Huai looked at his son who was hanging because of his leg in a plaster cast, and there was a look of hope in his eyes.
Jiang Zhou shifted his gaze to Feng Yun, "Mom, you can go and ask Grandpa to save Ruo Ruo a way out."
"What... what way of life?" Feng Yun was puzzled.
Jiang Zhou said slowly: "I did target Jiang Li, but Ruo Ruo is innocent, she doesn't know anything, tell your grandfather these things, and ask him not to announce Ruo Ruo's life experience."
Feng Yun smiled wryly and shook her head, "You don't understand your grandfather's temper. The invitations have already been sent out, so it's impossible for him to change his mind."
"I never thought about not letting him recognize Jiang Li, but Ruo Ruo was raised by you after all, no different from your own daughter, as long as grandpa is willing to take a step back and announce that Ruo Ruo and Jiang Li are twins, things will turn around leeway." Jiang Zhou said.
Feng Yun was about to refute, but Jiang Huai said first: "If your grandfather is willing to agree, this should be the best result."
Feng Yun was surprised and said: "But when I asked you to declare that Xiao Ling and Ruo Ruo are twins, you said those people outside would not believe it!"
Jiang Huai smiled wryly and said: "The present is different from the past, it doesn't really matter whether those people believe it or not."
Jiang Huai put his hand on Feng Yun's shoulder, "Before I didn't agree to announce that Jiang Li and Ruo Ruo were twin sisters, because if they did so, those people would dig deeper into the identities of the two children, and I was afraid of revealing Ruo Ruo's identity. , so I had to refuse."
Speaking of this, Jiang Huai sighed, and continued: "But today is different from the past. Now the relationship between Ruo Ruo and Jiang Li is known to everyone. After this banquet, Ruo Ruo will face endless challenges." Maliciousness, our cooperation with the Qin family is bound to be affected."
Feng Yun was still not convinced, "But even if Dad agrees to our proposal, outsiders still won't believe that Ruo Ruo is our daughter!"
Jiang Huai said in a low voice: "I don't need them to believe, I just need to let them see the attitude of the Feng family, those people outside are used to changing the direction of the wind, as long as they know that your father accepts the granddaughter Ruo Ruo, that's enough."
Feng Yun didn't have any ideas at all, she was persuaded by Jiang Huai once again, and whispered: "I... I will go to my father to talk about it, but he may not agree."
Jiang Huai nodded immediately, "Whether the old man agrees or not, he will give it a try, won't he?"
At this moment, Jiang Huai still had a little expectation, after all, old man Feng really loved Ruo Ruo before, maybe he would forgive him.
In the office of the research institute, Feng Qi got the paternity test results of Jiang Huai and Jiang Ruo.
The assistant looked at Feng Qi with admiration.
"Third Master, you are really clever, even your intuition is so reliable, but I didn't expect Jianghuai, a scumbag, not only to have an illegitimate daughter outside, but also to drop the two daughters, so that his wife will raise Xiaosan's child."
Feng Qi shook his head and said, "There is a high probability that the child was not replaced by him."
"Huh?" The assistant didn't understand.
"Although Jiang Huai is selfish, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons. It stands to reason that he would not take the initiative to exchange children." Feng Qi explained.
The assistant's eyes widened, "But the fact is right in front of you. He raised Jiang Ruo with all kinds of pampering, and after finding Miss Jiang Li, he still refused to announce their identities to the public. This is simply not what humans can do." things that came out."
Feng Qi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "It is possible that when he finds out that Jiang Ruo is not of the Feng family's blood, the situation is already irreversible."
Speaking of this, Feng Qi suddenly snorted, "His love for Jiang Ruo may be true, but his refusal to announce Jiang Ruo's adopted daughter's identity should be due to his marriage with the Qin family."
Jiang Ruo was only fifteen years old, and Jiang Huai made a verbal kiss with the Qin family. With such an ugly person, if you say how much he really loves Jiang Ruo, Feng would not believe a word.
"The third master is right!" The assistant gave a thumbs up, "Do you want me to publish this paternity test, so that Jianghuai will be even more anxious."
Feng Qi shook his head slowly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, let someone find out who Jiang Ruo's biological mother is."
The assistant nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Third Master, I promise to find out as quickly as possible."
After the assistant left, Feng Qi held the paternity test in his hand and felt hesitant for the first time.
According to his past temper, he would definitely throw this paternity test in front of that idiot sister immediately, and let her figure it out.
But if this is the case, that idiot will run back to Feng's house crying, and the old man may scold her, and then slowly accept her.
Knowing that Jiang Ruo is Xiaosan's daughter, she would naturally feel ashamed of her own daughter, and her little niece would be unbearable.
Feng Qi sat quietly for a while, folded up the paternity test, put it in the pocket of his suit pants, packed his things and went back to Feng's house.
Old Master Feng distributed invitations widely, and the Qin family also received one.
Qin Zheng's father, Qin Lin, and Jiang Huai are good friends, and the two have a verbal relationship, so they have cooperated frequently in these years.
Recently, Jianghuai has become more aggressive than before, and he was pulled in, thinking that sooner or later he would become the in-laws of his sons and daughters, so Qin Lin chose to cooperate with him.
In this way, the Jiang family and the Qin family were tied into the same boat and became a complete community of interests.
Before receiving the invitation, Qin Lin never thought much about it, but after receiving the invitation, Qin Lin felt that his whole body was going to explode.
He got engaged to Jiang's family because his son and Jiang Ruo's childhood sweetheart had a good impression of each other, and Jiang Ruo was also very well-behaved and sensible, and he was an excellent boy.
But this is all based on the premise that the two families are well-matched, and Jiang Ruo is Jiang Huai's biological daughter.
But now he knows that Jiang Ruo is not Jiang Huai's biological daughter, and Jiang Huai's biological daughter is still recognized by the Feng family.
In this way, Qin Lin had to suspect that Jiang Huai did not announce the identity of Jiang Ruo's adopted daughter at the beginning, just because he tied himself to his boat as soon as possible.
The more Qin Lin thought about it, the angrier he became, and he immediately called his son Qin Zheng.
As soon as the phone was connected, he asked, "Do you know that Jiang Ruo is not Jiang Huai's biological daughter?"
Qin Zheng hesitated for a long time, and finally replied in a hoarse voice: "I know, but I don't think it matters to me whether Ruo Ruo is Uncle Jiang's biological daughter or not."
"You are confused!" Qin Lin was very angry at his son, "We are married to the Jiang family, although I have never thought about using Jiang Ruo to get much property from the Jiang family, but only Jiang Ruo is Jiang Huai's biological daughter. Only the Jiang family's relationship can be strong enough."
"But Uncle Jiang still loves Ruo Ruo very much, he..."
Qin Lin interrupted his son, "You want to say that he didn't reveal Jiang Li's identity because of Jiang Ruo?"
Qin Zheng remained silent, he really thought so.
Qin Lin sighed, and said earnestly: "If he really dotes on Jiang Ruo, he should confess to us immediately, and then show enough sincerity, but he deliberately deceived, didn't he think about it, I learned that After the truth, will he have a grudge against Jiang Ruo? He can clearly think of this, but he still chooses to hide it, but because in Jianghuai's eyes, interests are more important."
Qin Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and asked after a while: "You mean, because Uncle Jiang is worried that it will affect the cooperation between the two, he refuses to announce the life experiences of Ruo Ruo and Jiang Li, and he is not allowed to Ruo Ruo tell me the truth?"
Qin Lin: ...
Is that what he meant
And the son just said that Jiang Ruo told him the truth before, why is Jiang Huai not allowing Jiang Ruo to tell him the truth now
"Dad, thank you for telling me this. I knew that Ruo Ruo must have some difficulties. I'm going to find her now. It must be hard for her to face this alone."
Qin Lin: ...
How could he give birth to such a fool
Forget it, he doesn't care about children falling in love.
But if Jiang Ruo wanted to enter the Qin family's door in the future, it would be a dream come true.
After Feng Qi returned to Feng's house, he found that Feng Yun had come to find him.
Because Mrs. Feng was in the county town, no one answered her phone calls, the servant didn't know what to do, so she could only take her to the living room and serve her with delicious food and drinks.
The moment Feng Qi saw Feng Yun, he remembered the paternity test in his pocket.
He was a little hesitant at first, but he didn't expect this love brain to come to the door himself.
Maybe this is God's will
