Chapter 683 Liu Wenying's Phone Call
“Mingfei said the other person’s voice sounded like a young girl,” Zhou Shuyu added.

“A young girl,” Jiang Yuan murmured, her eyes narrowing slightly. “I think the person making the call is very likely Meng Yunlan.”

“Her?” Zhou Shuyu frowned. “Why would she do that?”

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "She also sent a text message to my mother, saying that her biological daughter, Song Mingfei, has returned to China."

Just as he finished speaking, Deng Rui sent him a screenshot of a text message.

It turns out that last night, that number sent her another text message: "[This is your biological daughter Song Mingfei's phone number. She must miss you, her biological mother, very much.]"

"Shuyu, take a look at this." Jiang Yuan handed over her phone.

Zhou Shuyu glanced at it, a look of surprise on her face, then hesitated before speaking, "If it really was Meng Yunlan sending these text messages behind the scenes, then her purpose wouldn't be..."

"Trying to drive a wedge between me and my mother," Jiang Yuan said calmly. "She doesn't want me to have an easy time."

Zhou Shuyu wore a complicated expression. "She's really outrageous. Now things have turned out like this, isn't it all because of her family?"

Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "I'm not sure if Meng Yunlan is behind Aunt Wen Yin's actions as well."

"What should we do now?" Zhou Shuyu asked with concern.

“My mother really wants to reunite with Mingfei,” Jiang Yuan analyzed softly. “Aunt Wenyin also misses her biological daughter. The key now is whether Mingfei can accept this.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shuyu frowned even more deeply. "Mingfei couldn't sleep all night because of that text message. I think she probably won't be able to accept it for a while."

“That is indeed a bit troublesome.” Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and continued, “It would be best if Aunt Wen Yin told her about this.”

Zhou Shuyu nodded and suggested, "Should we ask Aunt Wenyin to come out and talk?"

"Is it appropriate?" Jiang Yuan hesitated.

She worried that if she went to Liu Wenying to tell her about this, Song Mingfei would find out the truth and blame Deng Rui.

"Is it not suitable?" Zhou Shuyu didn't understand either. "If it's not suitable, then forget it. We'll think of other ways."

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll think about it some more."

**
Before Jiang Yuan could decide whether to talk to Liu Wenying, Liu Wenying contacted Deng Rui first.

Study room on the second floor.

Jiang Yuan was about to start her live stream when Deng Rui's voice came from outside the door.

"Yuan Yuan, have you started broadcasting?"

Jiang Yuan called out, "Mom, not yet. Just come in."

Deng Rui pushed open the door and walked in, her expression seemingly not quite right.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. "Why is your face so pale?"

Deng Rui's hand holding the phone was trembling, and her lips quivered a few times. "Liu Wenying... she... she just called me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan stood up and asked, "What did Aunt Wenyin say to you?"

“She asked to meet me, saying that we gave birth on the same day in the same hospital, and she wanted to talk to me about some things.” Deng Rui’s voice choked with emotion.

"Mom, it's okay, don't be nervous." Jiang Yuan walked around the desk, put her arm around Deng Rui's shoulder, and gently comforted her, "It's normal for Aunt Wen Yin to ask you to meet."

"I...I'm not ready," Deng Rui said, her eyes red. "I don't know what to do."

The kids who had come to watch the gossip gathered around to comfort her when they saw her crying.

"Meow! Mom, don't cry!" "Woof? Mom, who bullied you? I'll bite them!"

"Meow? Mom, what happened?"

Deng Rui looked at her furry child rubbing its little head against her, wiped away her tears, and then laughed at herself in exasperation, "I'm really useless, all I know is how to cry."

"Don't talk about yourself like that, it's only natural." Jiang Yuan patted her shoulder and coaxed her, "Don't be nervous, when does Aunt Wenyin want to meet you? I'll go with you."

Deng Rui shook her head. "She didn't mention a time, she just asked me when would be convenient for me."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then whenever you think is a good time, we can meet with her."

"I...I don't know when."

"Then let me decide?"

Deng Rui nodded emphatically: "Okay, Mom will listen to you. You can make the arrangements."

Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "How about tomorrow then?"

“Okay,” Deng Rui agreed.

The following afternoon, the temperature dropped a few degrees, and the streets and shopping malls were already filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, with lanterns and auspicious characters hanging everywhere.

In the coffee shop, a woman wearing a black coat sat quietly in a booth, her gaze fixed on the bustling central square not far away.

Jiang Yuan and Deng Rui walked in and immediately spotted Liu Wenying.

Hearing footsteps, Liu Wenying slowly turned her head.

She doesn't look like a woman her age at all; her skin is very firm and smooth, but there's a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

Her gaze shifted between Jiang Yuan and Deng Rui before she stood up to greet them, "Hello, I'm Liu Wenying."

"Hello, I'm Deng Rui." Deng Rui smiled politely. "This is my daughter, Jiang Yuan."

Jiang Yuan met Liu Wenying's slightly curious gaze and smiled calmly: "Hello, Aunt Wenying."

"Hello, please have a seat." Liu Wenying said, gesturing towards the waiter.

After ordering her coffee, her gaze swept over Jiang Yuan and looked at Deng Rui, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are some things I don't know if I can say in front of the child."

“Aunt Wenying,” Jiang Yuan chuckled softly and spoke slowly, “If it’s about the mystery of your origins, you don’t need to worry at all. I already know the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenying was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, "You...you know the truth?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and explained, “My biological parents were actually the first to discover this.”

"I see." Liu Wenying nodded in understanding, giving a slightly apologetic smile. "I wanted to ask a couple of rather impolite questions, I wonder if you mind..."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright, Aunt Wenyin can speak her mind."

"I'd like to ask how you felt when you learned about this? Did you feel any resistance?"

Jiang Yuan blinked and said calmly, "I did not acknowledge my biological parents because they kept measuring my worth after they found out I was their biological daughter. I don't think I need parents like that."

"To measure your worth?" Liu Wenying frowned, her tone revealing dissatisfaction. "How can there be parents like this in the world?"

“There are a lot of strange people in this world.” Jiang Yuan paused slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then continued, “Aunt Wenyin, may I ask when you found out that the child wasn’t your biological child?”
