Mo Qingqin and Chu Zhiyuan—who were out looking for Jian Dan—received a call from Chu Liyuan informing them that he had found Jian Dan. They rushed back to the family residence at once…
Mo Qingqin sat uneasily in the living room, waiting for them alone. The moment Jian Dan set foot in the house, she immediately stood up to welcome them. “Dan Dan, are you going to make me worry to death? Do you know how worried I was when I was looking for you just now?!”
Mo Qingqin’s hands were still trembling slightly.
“Exactly! Little Jian, you mustn’t make us worry like this in the future!” Chu Zhiyuan also walked over.
“I’m sorry for making everyone worry,” she said, a little embarrassed.
“If anything happens to you, what will I do?” Seeing Mo Qingqin’s red eyes, she knew that she must have cried.
“Granny!” She hugged Mo Qingqin and buried her head in her neck. “I was…”
“I know! Come!”
Mo Qingqin led Jian Dan to the couch in the living room and held her hand tightly. “If it weren’t for today’s encounter, I wouldn’t have told you this for the rest of my life. Because I know too well what family means to you.”
“What is it?”
“Actually, I’m not your biological grandmother. Haven’t you always been curious why the name on my identity card is Li Ru? But, I told you that my name is Mo Qingqin!
“Because your biological grandmother’s name is Li Ru, and I’ve been living as Li Ru for the past 45 years. In the eyes of the world, Mo Qingqin died 45 years ago.”
“Erm…” It felt like she was listening to a suspense novel.
“Back then, my parents were biotechnology experts. They developed a technology that could allow human cells to reproduce quickly. This technology could allow wounds to heal quickly and cure many diseases that medical science couldn’t overcome now.”
“Therefore, many people had their eyes on this technology. My parents were captured because of this. Before they were captured, they destroyed all the results of their research. They were killed because they refused to reveal the results of their research to them.”
“As their only daughter, I became the target of those criminals. So the military sent someone to protect me, and the person who protected me was Zhiyuan! During that period of time, I handed my life to Zhiyuan. He also put himself in danger many times to protect me, and slowly, we fell in love.”
“After that, the two of us got married. Not long after we got married, we had an adorable daughter. I had thought that we would live a happy and peaceful life like this. But when our daughter was 13 years old, those people found me again and started hunting me and my family again. We were separated during the escape. I had always thought that Zhiyuan and Zixin were dead, but I didn’t expect that they didn’t die and kept looking for me. While I was on the run, I met your grandmother. She was pregnant at that time, but she still helped me. Unfortunately, she died of exhaustion after giving birth to your mother. Before she died, she asked me to raise her daughter. In order to make the people hunting me down give up, she told me to continue living with her identity, and she would die as me…”
“In that case, I don’t have a single relative in this world?”
How did she suddenly become an orphan?
“Who said that? We’re all your family!” Chu Zhiyuan said.
“But, I won’t even have my maternal home. If I quarrel with Uncle, I won’t even have a place to go.”
“You don’t have to worry about this at all. If Liyuan dares to bully you, I’ll definitely stand on your side and teach him a lesson for you!” Mo Qingqin said with a smile.
“Granny, you said that. Don’t go back on your word when the time comes!”
“Go back to your maternal home? Do you think I’ll give you that chance?” Chu Liyuan pulled Jian Dan into his arms.
“I don’t know!”
“You don’t need to know. All you need to know now is that from today onwards, you won’t be able to escape even if you want to.”
He announced domineeringly as he gazed at Jian Dan…
