Chapter 1271: Acknowledging A Child
Mr. Jiang could not deny the fact that Jiang Yao was not his and his wife’s biological child. After the police came, they immediately investigated and found out the truth.
So what if she was not his biological child?
Mr. Jiang looked at the parents in front of him and asked, “Now that you remember your daughter, did you raise her? You left her in the mountains. If my wife and I had not been worried about our young child at home, and I didn’t hear the crying of a child in the mountains and went to take a look, how could that child still exist in this world?”
Mrs. Jiang’s heart trembled with fear. “In such cold weather, the child looked like she was only a few days old. She was dressed in thin clothes and left the mountains. There were wild dogs everywhere in the mountains. When we heard the child crying and found her, two wild dogs had surrounded her. If we had arrived a little later, the child would have either frozen to death or eaten by the wild dogs.”
The more Mrs. Jiang spoke, the angrier she got. “Even if you didn’t want a child back then, could you not leave the child on the main road? If someone saw her, they could still pick her up. You left the child on the mountain; did you want her to freeze to death? If you don’t want a child, why don’t you give the child away? What makes you think we’d let you see her today?”
Mrs. Jiang looked at the family of three in front of her. Even though they did not look wealthy, at least they did not lack money. In fact, that man looked even more refined. One look and one could tell that he was an intellectual. She did not think that he would be able to do such a thing.
“It doesn’t look like you lack money. Back then, you were ruthless enough to throw your child away. Now, our family is happy. The child has grown up and gotten married. She has her own family. You shouldn’t disturb her anymore.”Mr. Jiang shook his head.
“I don’t know what other people think of our daughter, but in our family, our daughter is our treasure. We love Yaoyao as much as we love her two brothers. Her two brothers have always doted on her. She is very happy in our family, and she doesn’t know about this. You appeared so suddenly today. Have you ever thought about how she would feel? You guys are being selfish!”
“Mr. Jiang, I hope you can listen to our explanation.” Mr. Sun hurriedly explained. “I’m not the child’s biological father. Back then, Qiuran did not abandon the child intentionally. Qiuran’s ex-mother-in-law took the child behind Qiuran’s back and then lied to her that she had buried the child alive. Qiuran returned to Ping City in despair. Then, I got to know Qiuran. All these years, Qiuran had always thought that the child was dead, and she had always blamed herself. She blamed herself for not being vigilant enough to protect the child back then.”
“The child’s father is that idiotic Lin from your county. I heard that he used to look for his wife at the train station and bus station. I don’t know if you know that person,” Mr. Sun said.
“Before, we didn’t know that the child was alive. Now we know that she is alive, we have to come here and acknowledge her. You loved the child and cared for her. We are grateful—”
“Father! Mother!” At that time, Jiang Jie and Lu Xingzhi’s father and mother had arrived. Jiang Jie entered through the door and shouted twice, just interrupting Mr. Sun’s words. “Mr. and Mrs. Lu are here.”
