"What do you want us to do?" the man sized up the teenager for a while, thought for a moment, and then asked.
"Nothing special. I'll help you make her believe that you are her biological parents. By the way, when I inform you that you can recognize each other, please bring your other child who looks exactly like her. It'll be more convincing. I suggest you extort more money from her first. Her father left her a lot of things. If you really haven't heard of the name Lin Yao, then please go and check it out. Don't blame me for not warning you. You must be careful when doing this. Also, Miaomiao is extremely soft - hearted and full of a sense of justice. She's just like a saint. After today's scene, no matter whether you are her biological parents or not, the first impression is quite bad. So it's better for your daughter to play the victim, while you play the bad guys. Let your daughter play the good - guy role. She's not very smart and is easy to be led around. Of course, all this is based on the premise that you can control your daughter who looks exactly like Miaomiao. Otherwise, if she betrays you, you'll lose everything. I know your phone number, so there's no need to give me your contact information. I'll naturally contact you when I think it's appropriate. I suggest you stop causing trouble recently, or it'll backfire."
After the teenager finished speaking, he left the alley, leaving the couple completely bewildered.
Far away in Nancheng, Lin Yao frequently visited various auction houses, seemingly searching for something.
A month later, Tao Jing rushed to school from home. Because of her little aunt's matter, there had been countless arguments at home. Although her father blamed her, due to the early delegation of power, she had firmly grasped many things in her own hands. She wasn't as stupid as in her previous life, working for others for free. So although her father was angry, he couldn't do anything to her.
Even when she said that as long as her father could give a reason why her little aunt must marry Lu Huai, she would send the person back, her father didn't relent. From beginning to end, he never told her the reason.
Due to the arguments, she was late for school. Just as she arrived at the school gate, she saw a familiar figure. After a moment of confusion, she still rushed forward, patted the person on the shoulder, and asked, "Miaomiao, why don't you go into the school? What are you doing lingering around the gate?"
"Ah?"
The confused look in the girl's eyes in front of her made Tao Jing realize that she had mistaken the person.
Tao Jing sized the girl up carefully. This girl looked so much like Miaomiao. From her facial features to her eyebrows, they were almost identical, and their heights were similar too. But on closer inspection, this girl's skin was much rougher and darker than Miaomiao's. She was definitely not Miaomiao.
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else." Tao Jing smiled awkwardly and quickly apologized. Then she dashed into the school gate, escaping this embarrassing situation.
When she got to her class, the first thing Tao Jing did during the break was to rush to Miaomiao's class.
"Miaomiao! Miaomiao! At our school gate, I just saw a little girl who looks exactly like you. I even greeted her. When I saw her, I was scared out of my wits. I thought your martial arts skills had reached such a high level that you could create shadow clones."
"Ha? Someone who looks exactly like me?" Miaomiao was also stunned. She had never encountered such a strange thing before.
"Sure enough. She's just like a carbon copy of you. She's probably gone by now. Otherwise, I'd definitely take you out to have a look. I bet even you would need some time to tell the difference."
"Is it really that hard to tell? Miaomiao doesn't have an ordinary - looking face," Cheng Ruan said somewhat unconvinced, thinking that Tao Jing was exaggerating.
It was Wei Ziqi who was secretly scheming and having a bit of a conspiracy theory.
He was also present at the farce that happened at the school gate during the parents' meeting that day. But at that time, there were elders dealing with it, and as a junior, it wasn't appropriate for him to intervene, lest he make things worse. Moreover, he didn't have the right to do so. A friend's defense wouldn't be very convincing to the on - lookers, so he just watched quietly.
He remembered that the couple who caused the trouble that day took out a family photo, and there was indeed a girl in it who looked exactly like Miaomiao. At that time, he thought it was a computer - generated prop specifically prepared against Miaomiao. But now that such a person had really appeared, it was a different story.
Maybe that couple was really Miaomiao's biological parents.
However, all these didn't matter. Even if they were her biological parents, judging from their attitude at the school gate that day, they were not qualified parents. They might even be trying to harm Miaomiao in various ways.
So was the girl Tao Jing saw at the school gate today really a coincidence? Or was it a trap set by that couple against Miaomiao?
Suddenly, the school bell rang, interrupting everyone's conversation. Tao Jing left Miaomiao's classroom reluctantly. After the teacher came in, Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan couldn't help but pass notes about Miaomiao and the girl at the school gate.
At noon when school was over, Miaomiao and her friends were instantly stunned when they walked out of the school gate.
They saw the girl Tao Jing had mentioned. From a distance, Cheng Ruan spotted her at once. After all, Cheng Ruan was known as the "radar for finding Miaomiao" and could recognize Miaomiao at a glance in a crowd. Naturally, she was extremely familiar with this face.
"My goodness! She really looks that much alike?!" Cheng Ruan exclaimed. She could tell at a glance that this person wasn't Miaomiao. After all, their temperaments, skin conditions, and looks in their eyes were very different. But just looking at the facial features and figure, no one could tell them apart.
"Tao Jing said she saw her this morning. Why is she still at our school gate after school in the evening? Is she a friend or relative of some student?" Yao Mingxuan frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Miaomiao was also dumbfounded, even doubting her own life. She was so shocked that she couldn't say a word and was at a loss.
"Here she comes."
From the moment he saw the girl, Wei Ziqi had been staring at her intently. When he saw her lift her leg and walk towards them, he immediately became alert.
"Hello, are you Lin Miaomiao?" the girl walked up to Miaomiao and asked politely, seemingly without any malice.
"I am." Miaomiao was still in a state of shock, staring at the girl intently, as if she could find something special on this face. Her dazed look was just like a frightened little hamster, extremely cute.
