(I have a bold idea! Today I ran into Xiao Yongze and Ye Junli again. Their wives' due dates are only one day apart, and mine is about the same, just half a month later than theirs.
The main thing is, I asked Older Brother Wang who does the ultrasounds, and our three babies are all girls. I'm wondering if I should just have a C-section on the same day as the billionaire's wife delivers, and swap our babies? After all, given my and Xu Gang's current situation... No, I can't let my child suffer hardship with us!)
(It's getting closer and closer to their delivery dates. I've decided to swap with Xiao Yongze's child since he's the richest and the conditions will definitely be the best. At that time, I'll trick the Old Lady into going to the Xiao family to care for the mother and baby after delivery. That way, I'll feel more at ease!)
(Great! I tricked the Old Lady into thinking Mrs. Xiao had helped me, so she took the Xiao family's order. The Old Lady succeeded! Now we just wait for the delivery!)
(Hahaha, I succeeded! I successfully swapped my precious child with the Xiao family's baby. To avoid suspicion, I left the hospital immediately, and after traveling for a day and a night by train, I finally arrived home. Although the incision from the C-section is so painful that I can hardly breathe, I have no regrets!)
Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan were utterly confused. Why did swapping babies with the Xiao family become swapping with the Ye family?
"Wanwan, what's going on? Could it be that she got the wrong baby when she swapped them?"
Xu Wanwan shook her head. "I don't know either. Maybe she just got confused."
Pushing aside the doubts in their hearts, they continued reading.
(I've finished my postpartum confinement, but possibly because I rushed back home earlier, my postpartum complications were quite severe. However, I can't wait to return to Hai City secretly and see my daughter.)
(How could this happen? How could this happen? My child, my child is dead... The Old Lady is gone too!!!)
(Seeing this little bastard at home reminds me of my daughter. Daughter, I'm sorry, it's mommy's fault!)
(Forget it, I don't want to raise this kid anymore, but I can't just abandon them either. So I plan to go work outside with Xu Gang, and occasionally send some money back for this little bastard to fend for themselves!)
Ye Jinmeng was furious. This vile woman dared to call her beloved Wanwan a "little bastard"! She wished she could dig up her corpse and whip it!
Thankfully, her Wanwan had a strong will to live, or else she wouldn't have such a good sister!
The rest of the notebook just recorded some daily life events that had nothing to do with the baby swapping incident.
The two girls flopped down on the bed, with Ye Jinmeng putting an arm around Xu Wanwan's slender waist. She started to wonder how Yu Huiying could have endured the pain to swap the babies, since a C-section would normally leave someone bedridden from the pain. And wasn't there any surveillance? Wouldn't someone passing by have noticed?
"Meng, what do you think are the chances that she grabbed the wrong baby?"
Ye Jinmeng pondered for a moment. "Hmm... I think the probability is very small. For someone who had planned this for so long, she must have been extremely careful during the execution.
If she was in a hurry or had a confused state of mind and just grabbed a random baby, I don't think she would have written about it so definitively in her notebook.
Since she was so certain, and there's no record of any mishaps during the swapping, I think she must have clearly checked the identity tags."
Xu Wanwan agreed it made sense. If Yu Huiying was sure she swapped with the Xiao family's baby, then why did it suddenly become the Ye family's baby?
After much thought, there seemed to be only one possibility - that before Yu Huiying swapped the babies, the Xiao and Ye families' babies had already been accidentally switched!
Xu Wanwan had a flash of insight and abruptly sat up, pulling Ye Jinmeng up with her. With some excitement, she said, "Meng, is it possible that you're actually Uncle Xiao's daughter?"
Ye Jinmeng looked at her with utter bewilderment. "But I'm this evil woman's child, aren't I?" Her tone carried a tinge of confusion and dejection.
"If, and I mean if, Yu Huiying really didn't make a mistake with the identity tags, then Uncle Xiao should be my father. But in reality, I'm the Ye family's child.
Is it possible that the Ye and Xiao families' babies were switched from the very beginning, which led to this current situation?"
Ye Jinmeng's mouth gaped open, almost unable to believe it.
"I think the suspicion Uncle Xiao mentioned to us yesterday must be this! He asked us to look into Yu Huiying's belongings to verify this point!"
"I need to call Uncle Xiao right away and tell him this!" Xu Wanwan was excitedly energized, like she had been injected with adrenaline, while Ye Jinmeng remained seated on the bed, lost in thought.
Soon, the call connected.
"Uncle Xiao, I've looked through the belongings you asked me to find, and there are indeed records about what happened back then!"
At this time, Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi had finished eating hot pot and were taking a stroll on the street to aid digestion. Hearing Xu Wanwan's excited voice on the phone, the two of them stopped in their tracks.
Song Jiaxi couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, while Xiao Yongze was also very tense as he immediately put the phone on speaker. "Wanwan, what did it say?"
"Her notebook said she swapped babies with the Xiao family, not the Ye family. And she tricked her mother-in-law into going to the Xiao family to care for the mother and baby after delivery, under the pretext that Mrs. Xiao had helped her."
Upon hearing this, Song Jiaxi's eyes reddened involuntarily. Did this mean that Meng was truly their daughter?
"Is Meng with you? Let me talk to her!"
"Yes, I'll pass her the phone!"
Xu Wanwan then handed the phone to Ye Jinmeng.
"Un-Uncle Xiao..." Ye Jinmeng still seemed a bit dazed, her voice soft and tender.
"Meng, would you... would you be willing to do a paternity test with me and Auntie?" Xiao Yongze tightly embraced Song Jiaxi, as if waiting for the final judgment, holding his breath and trembling as he awaited her answer.
For some reason, tears welled up in Ye Jinmeng's eyes too. She sniffled and replied in a quivering voice, "Okay."
Upon hearing Ye Jinmeng's answer, Song Jiaxi, nestled in Xiao Yongze's embrace, couldn't help but cover her mouth as she burst into tears.
Xiao Yongze took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart and keep his voice from shaking as he spoke to the person on the other end of the phone. "Alright, when would Meng be available?"
"I, I don't have any classes tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then shall we pick you up at the school gates at 9 am tomorrow?"
"Mm, sure."
"Good girl, get some rest. We'll see each other tomorrow."
"Good night, Uncle Xiao Yongze."
"Good night, Mengmeng."
Hanging up the phone, the two people on the street hugged each other tightly until Song Jiaxi cried until she had no more strength left, then Xiao Yongze picked her up horizontally and slowly walked back.
In the dormitory, Xu Wanwan also tightly hugged the dazed Ye Jinmeng, giving her encouragement.
"Mengmeng, don't be afraid. No matter what the DNA results are, you'll always be our precious Ye family's treasure.
And if you really are Uncle Xiao's child, then you'll have two fathers and mothers who love you. If you're not, as long as Uncle Xiao and them are willing, you can still acknowledge them as godparents, which would also be great!"
