Chapter 38
A Mysterious Woman
“You’re indeed not our biological daughter.” Ye Shen said, “We did have a daughter back then. But when she was born, she died due to a lack of oxygen for too long. Soon after that, the hospital suddenly told us that our daughter was revived. At that time, none of us believed it, because Zhaohui was still lying on the hospital bed. I was the one who went to see the baby at that time. The moment I saw her, I knew that it couldn’t be my child. Because that child looked very healthy.”
Ye Shen was lost in his memories. “I immediately wanted to ask the hospital. However, before I could find a doctor, a strange woman stopped me. She asked me to take that baby as my own and then gave me a check for three million.”
He was still a little hesitant about receiving that check. After all, his daughter was already dead, and now he had to take a baby who came out of nowhere as his own. However, a three million check was too tempting for him. With that money, he could buy a car and a house. So, in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
“After that, we took that baby home. However, we don’t know how you and Ye Xiyuan were swapped. After that, we raised Ye Xiyuan like our own daughter. That woman came over a few times, and each time she gave me a sum of money. After Ye Xiyuan turned five years old, that woman never appeared again.”
Ye Shen upturned his palms. “That’s all I know.”
Ye Leng’an frowned. “Who exactly is that woman? Since she is gone, why are you still willing to raise Ye Xiyuan?”
“We don’t know who that woman is.” Li Zhaohui was a little anxious, afraid that Ye Leng’an would go back on her word. “Every time she came, she always covered herself up. Moreover, she didn’t stay for long each time and left a check before leaving. We don’t know why she suddenly disappeared, but we’re also afraid that she’ll suddenly show up again one day. We’ve raised Xiyuan for so many years and developed feelings for her, so we do treat her as our daughter.”
Ye Leng’an dropped into deep thought. She thought she could get some clues from Ye Shen. But now, it seemed that Ye Shen was just a tool and didn’t know much. She did have a bizarre life story! However, back then, when she and Ye Xiyuan were switched, who was the one who put obstacles in the way? Or was this all that hospital’s mistake?
For a brief moment, Ye Leng’an felt that her thoughts were in a whirl. She lost track of what was going on.
After a while, Ye Leng’an looked at Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui and asked again, “Did that woman leave any clues behind? Or is there anything special about her that you can still remember?”
This was a matter related to a house. Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui immediately searched their memories for the information.
“Yes, that woman has a crescent-shaped birthmark on her right wrist.” Li Zhaohui slapped her thigh and suddenly said, “When I poured water for her that time, I accidentally spilled some and saw it.”
Although she had only taken a glance, she still remembered that.
Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui fixed their eyes on Ye Leng’an, obviously waiting for the results. That was all they knew. They didn’t know if Ye Leng’an was satisfied or not. This was a matter that concerned a house!
“There’s one more thing.” Ye Leng’an asked, “Then why did you dare to go for a DNA test with me? ”
This was also something she was really confused about. Since that woman had disappeared for many years, it proved that she had no more contact with Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui. Then why did they dare to do a DNA test with her?
“In fact, I was just gambling.” Ye Shen said, “That woman once said that Ye Xiyuan was our daughter and would always be our daughter. She also said that even if we went for a DNA test, it wouldn’t change this fact. I’m not sure whether she meant you or Ye Xiyuan.”
So, he decided to gamble. However, he didn’t expect Ye Leng’an to not play by the rules at all. She directly denied everything without going to the hospital and even used a house to pump them.
“I can give you the house.” Ye Leng’an said calmly, “However, both of you have to sign an agreement. We won’t have anything to do with each other in the future, and we won’t contact each other anymore.”
“Sure.” Li Zhaohui immediately agreed when she heard that the house was theirs. “We will never appear in front of you again.”
As long as she could get the house, she didn’t want to see Ye Leng’an again.
Though Ye Leng’an was just an underage girl, she was horrible.
