Chapter 457: Should I Let Her Die First?

"Sister Yu, is this old auntie your mother?"

Liang Yu struggled with her wrist, but could not break free from the woman's grip. She was somewhat speechless, "This auntie, have you mistaken me for someone else?"

Li Xuan shook her head, refusing to let go, "No, I haven't... I haven't..."

"Don't cry, let's talk this over properly," Liang Yu said, feeling a bit impatient; she was not a kind-hearted person to begin with, "People who don't know might think I'm bullying an old woman at the school gate."

"I won't cry," Li Xuan said, worried that her daughter would dislike her right after they had just reunited, and hurriedly used her sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I was just so happy to see you."

"Do you know? You look very much like your father," Li Xuan explained, "Sixteen years ago, I gave birth to twins who were abducted by human traffickers. I have been searching for my children all these years. Could I meet your parents?"

Liang Yu looked at her with an amused expression; truly, one finds what one is looking for without even trying.

Could this really be her biological mother?

She gave birth to twins, and then they were both abducted by human traffickers at the same time? How could such a coincidence even happen? She, for one, found it hard to believe.

If you had looked after them carefully, could they have been abducted?

"My parents are already dead," Liang Yu said, letting herself get into character as quickly as possible and putting away the playful expression on her face, "To be precise, they were my adoptive parents."

"Adoptive parents? You knew they weren't your biological parents?" Li Xuan was somewhat surprised.

That daughter's adoptive parents felt better than Shen Dazhuang and Wang Dani; at the very least, they told the child her true identity.

Unlike Shen Dazhuang and Wang Dani, who had no ability to provide their son with a good life, yet stubbornly refused to let go.

It was simply like occupying a latrine without doing any business.

"Yes, they told me when I was ten years old."

Mentioning the past, a maturity that did not belong to her age appeared on Liang Yu's face, because the memories of those years were truly not very pleasant.

After her adoptive parents both died, almost everyone said she was a jinx, and even her Nainai did not want to raise her.

She would never forget the moments she spent hugging her knees and crouching at their door; the night was so long, and she felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

What kept her from feeling too miserable was that before she came to Huaiyang from Yunchuan City, that dead old woman was already terminally ill.

She had even specifically run over to that dead old woman to show her some "concern."

"Do you know why you got this disease? It's because you're too vicious. You didn't even want to take care of your own granddaughter. King Yama thinks you're too useless, so he's preparing to send you to hell."

"I heard that heartless and ungrateful people have to go into a vat of boiling oil after they get to hell. Nainai, I hope your old bones can hold up."

She had angered a terminally ill old woman to the point of tears; it was a level of satisfaction that still felt good when she thought about it now.

Li Xuan held her hand, feeling very pitiful, "Child, you must have suffered a lot all these years."

"Were you in Yunchuan before?" She heard the accent in Liang Yu's speech carried a bit of the Yunchuan feel.

"Yes, I was in Yunchuan. I was originally living at a cousin's house, but I've been kicked out by them now too."

Yunchuan? Then that was it.

Almost without needing a paternity test, Li Xuan could be certain that the girl in front of her was her own biological daughter.

"They kicked you out?" Li Xuan felt her anger burning as she heard this, "How heartless! You are a young girl kicked out on your own; if anything happened to you, I wouldn't forgive them!"

A group of young hoodlums stood by them, listening in confusion, "Sister Yu, if you aren't going to the internet cafe, we're going."

"You guys go ahead, see you later." Liang Yu waved at them.

Li Xuan endured and endured, but still couldn't help herself, "Xiao Yu, you shouldn't get too close to these bad kids in the future."

"Okay." Liang Yu replied with a well-behaved look.

Bad? If those were bad kids, then she...

Her daughter was very obedient and sensible. Li Xuan excitedly pulled Liang Yu to find Shen Lan and told him, "Shen Lan, our daughter has finally been found."

Alike, they were truly too alike.

It wasn't just the facial features that resembled her and Li Xuan, even the feeling was very similar.

Just standing together with Li Xuan, you would naturally feel that they were mother and daughter.

"This is your dad."

Liang Yu tentatively called out, "Dad?"

"Hey!"

Although Shen Lan was also very happy, he still had some rationality left.

Although this girl named Liang Yu matched their biological daughter in every aspect, Shen Lan still decided to do a paternity test to be sure.

He was already at this age; he only believed in evidence.

Just like that, Liang Yu went with them to the city to have a paternity test done.

It was agreed that until the test results came out, Liang Yu would temporarily continue to live in the school dormitory.

And after this half-day of interaction, Liang Yu also had a basic understanding of these two people.

It was about the same as she had imagined: a pair of hypocritical, despicable people.

First, they emphasized several times that losing her back then was an accident, and then they fiercely cursed the human traffickers several times.

They pushed the responsibility for the mother and daughter being separated for many years onto the human traffickers.

Although Liang Yu did not know the specific situation back then, it takes two to tango.

Human traffickers were certainly detestable, but they couldn't just run onto your bed and steal both children at once, could they?

Additionally, they said she had a twin brother.

A brother? Liang Yu only had an impression of a cousin before; when she was in Yunchuan, she lived at her aunt's house, and her aunt had a cousin who often called her into his room to play games.

The name of that game was 'Catch the Little Chicken.'

So, hearing the term "brother" made her feel nauseous.

Li Xuan also took Liang Yu to a clothing store to buy her an outfit; it was already autumn, but Liang Yu was still wearing summer shoes on her feet.

Liang Yu put on the new clothes and hugged Li Xuan's neck to express her gratitude, "Mom, you are so good to me!"

This kind of intimacy was something Li Xuan had never felt from Shen Yuan.

It really is better to have one's own biological daughter.

Li Xuan suddenly felt that all the hardships she had endured for so long to find her daughter were no longer hardships at all.

As soon as she got home, she had a showdown with Shen Yuan.

"You are not our biological daughter. Back then, I took a train to Yunchuan to find my biological daughter, but I didn't find her and happened to come across you when no one wanted you, so I picked you up and raised you."

A smile curled at the corners of Shen Yuan's mouth, "So, now that you have finally found your own biological daughter, you don't intend to keep me anymore?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Mom just wants to tell you that you are going to have a younger sister. Later, we'll put another bed in this room, and you two will sleep in the same room."

Li Xuan said earnestly, "All these years, I have truly treated you as my own biological daughter. Your sister has suffered a lot out there, so you must take good care of her in the future."

Shen Yuan sneered, "Since I was picked up, how can you be sure that I am older than her?"

Always insisting that she is the older sister and must yield to the younger sister? Should she go die first?
