Chapter 833: Indeed, birds of a feather flock together

Only then did Duan Ruirui notice her gathering things to head out: "You're leaving right now?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Mm, I'm going to find my cousin first, deliver the message, then head back."

Hearing that, Duan Ruirui couldn't very well keep staying at Liu Chuxue's dorm: "Then I won't take up your time. I'll go back to my dorm to open the package—Kunlan must have sent me something good to eat."

Liu Chuxue was amused by her gluttonous look: "Look at you, drooling already."

Duan Ruirui waved at her with a smile, then dashed back to her own dorm.

Liu Chuxue also walked briskly toward her cousin's dorm.

It happened that a girl from her cousin's dorm was coming out: "Dujuan, your cousin is here."

Dujuan, hearing her own cousin had come, took her lunchbox and went straight to the door: "Cousin, what brings you here?"

Liu Chuxue didn't mention her aunt's matter: "Dujuan, my uncle—your dad's old unit—those people have been contacted. Someone will be sent over in the next few days. Be mentally prepared."

Hearing the news, Dujuan was for a moment not only excited but nervous: "Cousin, they..."

Liu Chuxue could see her nervousness: "Don't be nervous. When the time comes, just tell the truth. They'll definitely get justice for you."

Thinking of her birth mother, Dujuan's mood instantly plunged to rock bottom.

Ever since she'd had the falling out with her birth mother and moved out, her birth mother had never once come to see her. She gave a self-mocking little smile inside: Well, she has her son and daughter now. A daughter left behind by her ex-husband is probably dispensable, isn't she? Especially since she'd been swapped at birth and never grew up by her side.

She sighed inwardly: Since we can't stand the sight of each other, once I get back what's mine, let's each go our own way and never bother each other again.

What the two cousins didn't know was that Wang Dabiao's household was also discussing this matter right now: "Mom, Dujuan hasn't come back to see you once since moving out. She can't really be planning to cut ties with you, can she?"

Wang Dabiao, Director Wang, who was eating, looked up: "Suqing, no matter what, she is your biological daughter."

As he said this, he cast a seemingly casual glance at his nominal adopted daughter, thinking: Even if she isn't his wife's biological daughter, he's raised her all these years—he can't take a loss on it.

Seeing that she was now of an age to be matched for marriage, he naturally had to recoup what he'd spent over the years. He watched his adopted daughter head to the kitchen: "Suqing, Lulu's not young anymore either, it's time we started looking around. I'll carefully help pick and choose later, you help her keep an eye out."

Though they were a second marriage, they'd lived together all these years after all—how could Jiang Suqing not know what Wang Dabiao meant by that: "Alright, I got it. You're right, a girl's better settled early."

Though Jiang Suqing's feelings were complicated, she also understood that no matter how well she and Zhao Lulu's mother-daughter relationship was disguised, it could never go back to how it was: "I'll listen to you, I have no objections."

Zhao Lulu came in from outside and only caught the words "I have no objections." She wanted to ask, but thinking of her current situation, quickly swallowed her words.

Jiang Suqing looked up at her adopted daughter, and the more she looked, the more she resembled her own cousin. She couldn't help scheming inside: should she make a trip back to her hometown and ask her cousin for some interest?

This really is—birds of a feather flock together.

Liu Chuxue was held up a little at her cousin's place, so by the time she got home she was quite a bit later than usual.

When she arrived home, she saw her own mother standing at the front gate looking outward: "Mom, why are you standing here?"

Saying so, she took her by the arm and went inside.

Zhao Lamei, walking inside as she went, asked: "Why are you back late today?"

Liu Chuxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
