"Well, we... we just found our child. We were afraid she really wouldn't recognize us. When we called, we said we were her biological parents, but she didn't seem to care at all. She hung up the phone without even a moment's hesitation. She must not want to recognize her biological parents, that's why she was so decisive... We've been looking for her for so many years. It's so hard to finally find her. How could we not be worried?"
The woman stammered and continued to make up lies. However, her lies were so ill - logical that with a little thought, one could easily spot many unreasonable aspects.
Grandpa Sun wasn't someone to be trifled with. He let out a cold snort and said, "Just because you're afraid your child won't recognize you, you come to the school gate and make up all these lies and talk nonsense? Do you really care about your child? Which parent in the world who truly cares about their child wouldn't think about their child's well - being? Don't you know that after your commotion, Miaomiao will be caught up in a huge public opinion storm? Is this how you show you care about your child? I think you're either fraudsters or have some other ulterior motives."
This series of questions completely stunned this uneducated couple. They weren't people with strong psychological qualities. They couldn't withstand such interrogative questions. They stammered and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Seeing their reaction, Grandpa Sun decisively treated them as fraudsters. He took Miaomiao and left the school gate. The onlookers who had just been pointing at Miaomiao immediately changed their tune and started to comment on the couple.
In this tug - of - war, Grandpa Sun on Miaomiao's side won perfectly.
The couple slunk away from the school gate, full of confusion.
According to the information the Gu family gave them, Miaomiao's adoptive relatives were not around her. So where did this grandpa come from all of a sudden?
This big commotion had failed. No one believed what they said. It was definitely impossible to use this method again in the future. They had already been labeled as fraudsters, and even if they caused more trouble, they would be ignored.
The couple squatted in a dark and deserted alley not far from the school. They couldn't stand the judging looks of others. Those looks made them feel like they were rats living in the gutter.
The couple, who worked in a high - class hotel, often encountered such looks. Even after all these years, they still felt uncomfortable.
The pressure of life and the difference in social classes made them both inferior and arrogant.
They were inferior in front of outsiders and arrogant towards their family.
"Are you the biological parents of Lin Miaomiao?"
At this time, a teenager wearing a mask and a school uniform walked into the alley. The couple looked up and could only see his eyes. They glanced at each other, not knowing what this teenager wanted from them or whether they should admit it.
"You should be her biological parents, right? Don't you know who her father is? If not, you probably wouldn't have caused such a commotion." The teenager asked gently, looking harmless and speaking in a tone like chatting.
"We don't know exactly what her father does. We only know that she's living a decent life now. But kid, what do you want?" The man replied. In the information the Gu family gave them, it only said that the adoptive family was wealthy, with no specific details. They had no idea who had adopted Miaomiao, let alone her current living background.
"Ah, Miaomiao was abandoned by you in Nancheng, right? By that time, the person who adopted Miaomiao was already somewhat well - known. If you've read some financial reports or been to Nancheng, you might have heard the name of Miaomiao's adoptive father. It's Lin Yao."
The teenager still spoke in a light - hearted tone, seemingly carelessly. But the threat in his words immediately made the couple vigilant.
"What are you talking about? Our daughter was lost, not abandoned by us. Lin Yao? We've never heard this name."
The man's face immediately changed. He didn't even want to talk to the teenager anymore. He thought that since the teenager called Miaomiao so affectionately, he must be on Miaomiao's side and came to cause trouble for them.
"I think you've misunderstood. I mean no harm. I know that Miaomiao was four years old when she was adopted. She lived in the orphanage for four years. She appeared at the orphanage gate when she was just born and all wrinkled. Who would steal a newborn girl who wasn't even a month old and deliberately throw her at the orphanage gate? And at that time, you should have been in the postpartum period. How could you have been so free and ignored your own health to go out and lose your child? Telling you all this is not to threaten you, but to talk about cooperation. I can be considered a friend of Miaomiao's, a friend for many years. But I hate her. Seeing her live a carefree and free life every day makes me extremely jealous. Since she was adopted, why not let everything get back on track? A pheasant shouldn't stay in the city pretending to be a phoenix. She's your daughter. I can handle the aftermath of the matter of losing the child for you. But I hope that after you recognize your daughter, you can let her live a normal life with you. She's enjoyed a life of luxury for so many years. That's enough."
The teenager spoke as easily as if he were discussing that the weather was nice today. But his words sent shivers down the couple's spines.
Being a friend for many years and at the same time being extremely jealous and resentful was something the couple couldn't understand.
They both admitted to themselves that they were cold - blooded and selfish people. They had this self - awareness. But even though they were cold - blooded and selfish, when they couldn't afford to raise the child, they still chose to leave the child at the orphanage gate, giving the child a glimmer of hope.
The three children they had raised since childhood, although the girl had been exploited by them, they would still feel a bit heart - broken if something really happened to her.
Miaomiao was the child they had abandoned at birth. Apart from the hardship of pregnancy, they had no other contact with her. Naturally, they had no feelings for this daughter and could treat her as a complete outsider.
But it was really hard to understand someone like the teenager, who on one hand admitted to being friends with Miaomiao for many years and on the other hand resented her and wanted to drag his friend down from the clouds.
However, since they all had the same goal, the enemy of the enemy was a friend. Since they all wanted to pull Miaomiao down from her high position, this cooperation was worth discussing.
