Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

Rose Manor at night.

As night falls, the stars twinkle incessantly, hanging on the deep blue backdrop. Moonlight spills onto the colorful roses, and the night breeze carries the fragrance of roses, wafting towards you.

After lunch, Lan Yunchen drove Shen Muyun and Lan Yunxi out shopping. Only the two housekeepers, her and Su Xue remained in the villa, while the servants were busy with their own tasks.

The servants and bodyguards at the Lan family manor are all highly trained. They know what to listen to and what not to listen to, and once they leave the manor, they won't utter a single word. This is the primary condition for working at the Lan family manor. Every servant who enters the manor must sign a confidentiality agreement. If they leak anything about the manor, they will bear certain legal responsibilities. Compared to jobs outside, the manor's wages are several times higher than those of ordinary families.

This makes many new servants not want to leave, since the environment and wages are so wonderful.

It's irresistible.

Tang Junyao sensed her best friend's low spirits today. After bathing the two little ones and putting them to sleep, she went to Su Xue's room.

Pushing open the door, Tang Junyao saw Su Xue standing blankly by the window, not even noticing her come in. Tang Junyao walked over, put her arm around Su Xue's shoulder, and stood side by side. "Are you in a bad mood? Why didn't you bathe Little Strawberry tonight?"

Su Xue smiled slightly, a hint of sadness and reluctance hidden in her eyes, "After we go back, I might not be able to help her wash every day. She'll have to get used to you."

Before coming in, Tang Junyao had already guessed that there was a reason. Ever since Xiaocao was born, no matter how busy she was, Su Xue would put down her work and always take care of Xiaocao herself, bathing her and putting her to sleep. She also clearly remembered the first time Xiaocao called her "Mommy" and she cried in her room. She also witnessed the disappointment of Xiaocao calling her "Mommy" when she grew up.

Actually, no one taught her to call Su Xue Mommy. It was Xiao Youzi who started it, and Xiao Caomei followed suit. Over time, it all became Su Xue Mommy.

Privately, Tang Junyao had taught Xiaoyouzi and Xiaocaomei many times to call her "Mommy" as well. Xiaoyouzi changed her address, but Xiaocaomei did not.

Tang Junyao put her arm around her shoulder to comfort her, "Don't be upset. Little Strawberry is your child, and no one can take her away. Even if she calls me Mommy, you know in your heart that she still clings to you. I put her to sleep at night, but she still looks for you before going to bed. This blood relationship cannot be changed just because she calls Su Xue Mommy or me Mommy."

Seeing that Su Xue was a little moved, he continued, "My brother bought me a house, and I'll keep it. When we return to the capital, you can come and live with us. It will still be our little home, with two kids and two hot moms. We can live together. Do you want to look down on me? You were the one who said that the two old ladies would take walks together in the future. It hasn't been that long, and you're already going back on your word. You won't look down on me, a divorced woman, will you?"

Su Xue was provoked, and her gloomy mood dissipated a lot. "Who disliked you? Who broke their word? Nobody wants you? Have you no shame? You've had few suitors these past two years, but now you're pregnant and people are fawning over you. Look at the number of people in your contacts who want to be your dad."

After the joke, Su Xue said seriously, "I'm just feeling a little sad and sentimental because I have to go back tomorrow. Also, once I go back, I won't be able to see Xiaocaomei every day, and that makes me a little sad."

Seeing that Su Xue had started joking, he breathed a sigh of relief. "We've gotten through the toughest times, and things will fall into place in the future. Don't worry unnecessarily. Things will work themselves out. Look at me, I'm the best example. On my second day in Blue City, I was inexplicably dragged into a paternity test, and that very night, they found my mother's relatives. Even now, thinking back on it, I still find it a bit unbelievable, but the DNA is real, proving it wasn't a dream. When God closes one window, He always opens another. He won't suffocate us, otherwise, Nuwa would have wasted her efforts."

Su Xue chuckled. "Could you be any more sentimental?"

"I have shown you my most tender side."

Recalling their first day in Blue City, they were busy finding their dormitories, making their beds, and organizing their things. They slept for a while that night, and the next day they ran into Lan Yunchen in the hallway of the training base.

Thinking back to the first time I met my brother, my first impression was very good. He was a gentleman and polite, and his tone carried a hint of urgency as he asked, "Could you do me a favor?"

Tang Junyao certainly wouldn't refuse such a polite request, and politely replied, "May I ask what you need my help with?"

Lan Yunchen firmly stated, "A kinship test."

Tang Junyao's mouth dropped open in astonishment. She swallowed hard. "Sir, are you kidding me? Is kinship testing common at the Blue City training base?"

Lan Yunchen paused for a moment and then said, "Can you say that?"

Tang Junyao thought to herself, "Is this even possible? Normally, new company hires have interviews and written tests, but Lancheng Training Base uses kinship testing, and it happens all the time."

Helpless, Lan Yunchen pleaded, since it was just a matter of drawing blood, and Tang Junyao also had a glimmer of hope, because she also had relatives she wanted to find.

He readily agreed, seizing every possible opportunity.

After the blood was drawn, Lan Yunchen said politely but apologetically, "I'm sorry, I hope you can wait with me a little longer. The results will be out soon." Because it was his own research facility, it was VIP-level, and the results would be available in just three hours.

Tang Junyao asked with some doubt, "You just said that all new hires have to undergo kinship testing, is that true?"

Lan Yunchen retorted, "Not all of them, but I'll do everything I feel is necessary."

Tang Junyao: "............" Over the years, how many people from all over the country have come to the base for training, batch after batch? It couldn't have been just to find people, could it?

This is a bit...

"Have you lost any family members?" This was the only reason she could think of at the moment, for them to go to such lengths to conduct a kinship test on her, a complete stranger.

Lan Yunchen did not answer, but chose to remain silent. "Take a rest and wait a while."

Tang Junyao saw sadness on his face and guessed what was going on; it seemed that his family members were really missing.

Three hours later, Tang Junyao's buttocks were numb from sitting. When she was about to stand up and move around, there were four people standing in front of her: a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a somewhat playful young girl. They were all staring at her with teary eyes, as if they were looking at a gorilla.

Lan Yunchen trembled as she handed a piece of paper to the middle-aged man. The man glanced at it and his face was covered in tears. This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene, and she was a little overwhelmed. "Um, please don't do this. Can someone tell me what's going on?" It was as if she had a terminal illness rather than a blood test for kinship.

This scene is a bit like a farewell party before someone dies; it's creepy.

The middle-aged man wanted to take a step forward, but Tang Junyao instinctively took a step back. It was the middle-aged woman who pulled her agitated husband back and said softly, "Your name is Tang Junyao. Hello, we are from the Lan family of Lan City. The paternity test results show that we are related."

Tang Junyao's mind went blank, a complete mental blank. She tried to think of the relatives she had been searching for abroad, and found them in the stairwell.

The woman continued, "Don't be afraid. This is your uncle, Lan Chumu. I am your aunt, Shen Muyun. This is your brother, Lan Yunchen, and this is your sister, Lan Yunxi."

Tang Junyao began to remember Lan Chumu. This man had inquired about her parents during the last bidding conference, but at that time she did not know that her mother was an orphan.

It turns out that fate had already brought us together again without us even realizing it; blood ties really do have a strong bond.

Tang Junyao was a little at a loss. She had never dealt with such an emotional scene before. She had imagined countless scenarios of finding her relatives, but none of them were like this.

Lan Chumu had lost the spirit she had shown at the bidding conference. Now she was like a joyful child, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. "Do you remember me? We met in the capital. I thought you looked a lot like your grandmother back then."

Tang Junyao remembered, of course, and nodded.

Lan Yunxi came over and took her hand, saying affectionately, "Sister, don't be afraid. We're not bad people. Mom and Dad have been looking for Aunt for so many years, I don't even remember how many years. When Grandpa and Grandma were still alive, they set a family rule that finding you would be the top priority for the Lan family. Nothing is more important than finding you. Grandma left with regret because she couldn't find you before she passed away. Now we can't let you out of our sight no matter what. You have to come home with us."

Lan Yunxi, naturally familiar with Tang Junyao, held her arm tightly, as if afraid of losing her again.

Lan Yunchen noticed her unease. "Why don't you come home with us first, and we'll explain things to you slowly, okay? The purpose of this training base is to find you."

Tang Junyao felt an indescribable surge of emotion and joy. It turned out that her mother wasn't unwanted; she had simply been lost by accident. Moreover, her family had even set up such a large training base just to conduct kinship testing and find her.

If I went back and told people that BlueCity's training base was originally established for kinship testing and finding family members, probably no one would believe me.

That evening, Tang Junyao took Su Xue back to Rose Manor and listened to their stories for several hours. Later, she learned that the Lan family was the richest family in the entire Country A.

After her mother was a month old, she was taken away by an outsider in collusion with the secretary who liked her grandfather. Because it was so long ago, there were no cameras at that time, and they could not find her in the vast sea of ​​people.

In addition, the Lan family didn't have that much power before.

This led to the current situation. It is said that Grandma resented Grandpa her whole life. Grandpa left with guilt, while Grandma left with regret.
