Chapter 1223 - 1250: On the Brink (Part 2)
She and Jian Qingqing had both underestimated Chu Nianyang. They’d thought they already had it in the bag, but in reality, they were nowhere near being a match for Chu Nianyang.
"Stop them!" With Jian Xiong’s order, his personal bodyguards rushed out from the shadows and directly pinned the clawing, flailing Zhang Father and Zhang Mother to the ground.
Grandma Jian asked anxiously, "Girl Chu, what exactly do you mean by all this?"
Father Jian and Mother Jian also looked at Nianyang, eager to know.
Nianyang said slowly, "Zhang Mingyue is not the child your Jian Family lost back then. She only had her eye on your wealth and status, and by coincidence found out the inside story about your missing daughter, so she deliberately disguised herself and pretended to be her."
Jian Xiong said in a deep voice, "Girl Chu, how do you know all this? If what you say is true, then where did the birthmark on Zhang Mingyue’s body come from? Even if she knew my granddaughter had a birthmark, how could she have one that looks exactly the same?"
Nianyang’s lips curved. "That’s because Jian Qingqing helped her. I just said Jian Qingqing teamed up with Zhang Mingyue to frame me, precisely because Jian Qingqing was afraid I’d expose the truth, so she wanted to keep me too busy to investigate any of this."
"Originally, I didn’t want to meddle. Your family business isn’t something I should be paying attention to."
Nianyang continued, "But the problem is, the child you actually lost is my good friend. I have no choice but to help my good friend find her family, and I can’t let some outsider steal everything that belongs to her."
Jian Xiong couldn’t help showing a few traces of agitation on his face, and said, "You mean... you’ve found my real granddaughter?"
Mother Jian immediately said, "Dad, don’t just listen to her one-sided story. Even if Ming Yue did something wrong, we can’t just deny her because of a few offhand words from someone else."
Nianyang calmly took out the paternity test report and held it up for everyone to see. "This is a paternity test I did using little Chenguang’s hair and my good friend’s hair. It’s absolutely genuine and reliable. Please, Leader, take a look."
Jian Xiong took it and, as soon as he glanced at it, his eyes suddenly turned red. The others around, including Grandma Jian, were all stunned when they saw it.
Nianyang was afraid they wouldn’t believe her. "Grandpa Jian, I would never lie to you. If you don’t believe it, you can take it to the hospital for verification. There isn’t the slightest problem with what’s written here."
"This, I..." Jian Xiong didn’t know what to say, though his excitement was overflowing from his expression. Grandma Jian, on the other hand, spoke up in sheer joy, so happy she was almost incoherent. "I—this is my granddaughter... Where is she? Did she come today?"
In fact, deep down, Grandma Jian had never been satisfied with Zhang Mingyue, but because she’d seen the golden lock at the time, she could only force herself to accept her.
Now looking back, she realized everything had been a misunderstanding.
Their real granddaughter was someone else, not a vicious woman like Zhang Mingyue. It was just too wonderful.
Nianyang finally let out a breath of relief. "Grandma Jian, your real granddaughter’s name is Shi Nuan, she’s the adopted daughter of the Shi Family."
Jian Xiong stared fixedly at the paternity test report.
"Shi Nuan... I remember that name. When I was investigating my granddaughter back then, Shi Nuan was also on the abandoned baby list.
But the records showed she wasn’t picked up in South City, so I removed her from consideration and never thought of her again."
Nianyang said, "Grandpa Jian, it’s a bit complicated to explain all this, but Nuannuan really is your granddaughter. Whatever you don’t understand, you can ask Nuannuan herself in person!"
