Chapter 619 - 553: The Early Deceased First Wife in ’Son-in-law’ 16
On the train, Wang Jinglin and Rong Xuefeng sat together, their faces filled with complex expressions.
And a trace of confusion.
To this day, they, as a couple, could hardly believe it was true; it was simply too absurd.
How could the children have been switched?
It was unbelievable.
When Wang Xuefeng had opened her eyes back then, the child was already lying beside her—a tiny girl, particularly endearing.
With one look, she had awakened all her maternal love.
And with nearly nineteen years of living together, having just celebrated her eighteenth birthday not long ago, how could this child not be their own?
"Old Wang, do you think this is true?"
"It must be true. If it weren’t, the police there wouldn’t have made such a call. Besides, there’s no use thinking more about it now. Let’s discuss this once we arrive!"
Honestly, from the moment he received the call, he firmly believed this was no joke.
During these two days, he had also carefully recalled their daughter Wang Wei’s appearance... indeed, she looked a bit different from them.
His wife’s skin was fair, her features delicate when she was younger.
And his skin was also fair.
On this point, their daughter Wang Wei was a bit different because her skin, though fair, was several shades darker than theirs.
And her facial features, although prettier than average, were relatively ordinary compared to them.
They hadn’t thought too much about it before; after all, it’s not uncommon for children to look plainer than their attractive parents.
Especially since Wang Jinglin was outside the delivery room when the child was born.
In those days, who would have thought that someone could actually switch babies in the delivery room?
It was unheard of.
Regardless, the bond formed over these eighteen years was indelible.
Birth bonds are deep, and so naturally are the bonds of upbringing.
This was the only child they had raised from infancy... they had invested all their love into her.
If they had to give the child back... how could they bear it?
Moreover, to avoid upsetting their daughter, they had made up an excuse to leave.
They had decided that no matter what, they didn’t want to switch their daughter back... if worst came to worst, they could raise both girls.
If other families could raise three or four children, then raising two was definitely manageable for them.
Three days and two nights on the train had left them looking somewhat haggard.
After getting off the train and viewing the unfamiliar yet familiar small town, their feelings were incredibly mixed.
They had never imagined that after so many years, they’d step on this land again.
Wang Jinglin suppressed his complex emotions.
"Let’s go! We’ll find a place to stay and freshen up first, and then go to the police station tomorrow..."
They had arrived at four in the afternoon, and the police station hadn’t closed yet.
But they hadn’t washed for three days on the train, and they were starting to smell stale.
Plus, his wife was slightly germophobic.
So, it was better to go to their lodging first and get organized.
Rong Xuefeng, distracted, nodded, "Okay!"
Going to the hotel to stabilize their emotions was also good, as she didn’t know what mood to face that girl with.
Raised in the countryside... She really couldn’t imagine what she might be like.
"Let’s go," Wang Jinglin said, carrying their luggage out.
Rong Xuefeng followed him.
There were only a few hotels in the small town, and Wang Jinglin chose one that looked somewhat clean.
"We’ll stay here today!"
"Alright, after we take care of the matters tomorrow, we can leave tomorrow evening."
Rong Xuefeng didn’t like staying in this town and wanted to go back to Beijing as soon as possible.
"Okay," Wang Jinglin thought if they really began sorting things out, it would be fairly straightforward.
One day would be completely sufficient.
As they were checking into the hotel, Rong Yan happened to come down from her room upstairs.
Passing the front desk, she glanced in the direction of the couple, paused for a moment, then left as if nothing had happened.
The next morning at eight-thirty, she went to the police station.
When she saw the couple from yesterday, Rong Yan wasn’t surprised at all.
In contrast, the couple was completely taken aback when they saw her.
Wang Jinglin and Rong Feng knew when they saw the girl’s eyes that she was definitely their... daughter.
Because she looked seventy to eighty percent like them. Actually, her appearance was even beyond their expectations.
Not only did she not look like a country girl, she appeared as if she had been meticulously groomed as a city girl.
"You..." Wang Jinglin opened his mouth but then didn’t know what to say.
But Rong Xuefeng was just staring at Rong Yan’s face, her expression a bit distant.
Rong Yan gave them a quick look and then turned away, speaking to Director Zheng, "Director Zheng, I have arrived."
Director Zheng quickly responded, "Rong Yan, good that you’re here. These two are Wang Jinglin and Rong Xuefeng, your biological parents."
"It would still be better to do a DNA test," Rong Yan’s words surprised everyone present.
Wang Jinglin and his wife hadn’t expected her to say that.
Rong Xuefeng was the first to speak in a faint voice, "What do you mean by this? You don’t want to recognize us?"
Rong Yan’s expression was unmoved. "It’s better to respect medical science, especially since being meticulous is never wrong when it comes to blood relations."
Her words were right, but to Wang Jinglin and his wife, they felt rather off.
Was she blaming them for not being careful and losing her?
But they also didn’t know such a thing would happen.
They didn’t mean for it to happen!
Then, Director Zheng spoke up, "This can be done, but our facilities here are limited; we must go to the city for the test."
Rong Yan immediately responded, "Then let’s do it in the city and also, another thing, where is the girl I was switched with? She didn’t come? What do you plan to do? I must clarify beforehand, if the medical test proves our kinship, I absolutely will not live under the same roof as someone who stole eighteen years from us. As for the talk of sisters... that won’t work for me."
After hearing her remarks, Wang Jinglin and Rong Xuefeng’s expressions visibly darkened.
Especially Rong Xuefeng, who felt a flicker of dislike.
She thought this girl’s personality was too sharp.
What’s wrong with the two sisters? Weiwei was the girl she had raised for eighteen years. Was she supposed to sever ties with her?
"It’s not Weiwei’s fault; she’s a gentle girl... and she’ll definitely get along well with you in the future."
