Aunt Mei's suspicions about Ye Xingyan's parentage grow. Ye Xingyan, eager to impress her grandmother, suggests taking her Uncle Ye Qiu out. While shopping for what appears to be a new room's furnishings, Ye Xingyan grows increasingly jealous and curious about the intended recipient. The chapter ends with Ye Qiu confronting Shen Huiran, revealing that he knows Ye Xingyan is not her biological daughter.

"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that Xingyan isn’t my daughter? How can you say such a thing? And you claim that I’ve always known – what’s your intention in making such accusations?" Shen Huiran forcefully tries to suppress her body’s trembling, nearly hysterically rebuking.

"Why are you so agitated? The louder you scream, the more you’re revealing your guilt. If you say you didn’t know, didn’t you notice anything unusual in the past medical reports? Even this time, the moment the report was delivered, you couldn’t wait to get it back from me. If you’re not hiding something, then why?" Ye Qiu’s barrage of questions left Shen Huiran speechless.

She pale-faced, retorted, "Everyone is healthy, what should I have noticed? I only wanted to see the children’s health status when I came to fetch the report from you this time."

"I remember my elder sister-in-law graduated from M University, right? It’s astonishing that a top student from M University wouldn’t know that two people with O blood type can’t produce a child with A blood type. Or are you just pretending to care about family while never seriously looking at the medical reports?" Ye Qiu continued to challenge.

Shen Huiran remained expressionless, avoiding others’ gazes, and woodenly replied, "I’m a humanities student."

"What a wonderful humanities student you are. Although I can’t tell if you’re truly oblivious or just playing dumb, I found an issue in this medical check-up: Xingyan is not your and big brother’s biological daughter. Your biological daughter is someone else, swapped by none other than the friend you brought home back then, the one named Qian Lan Ya."

Zhang Jingyi stared blankly at her son. She wondered why her son had suddenly become so invested in this. Even if there were suspicions after seeing the report initially, shouldn’t he have spoken up then? Why investigate secretly?

Moreover, to be honest, she wasn’t particularly interested in whose daughter Ye Xingyan biologically was. Despite Ye Xingyan having her own little schemes, she was smart, beautiful, and would be beneficial if nurtured well and might be an asset in the future.

However, she could think that way, but Shen Huiran couldn’t think the same. After all, it didn’t matter to Zhang Jingyi because of no blood relations, but this was about Shen Huiran’s biological daughter. Did Shen Huiran really know from the beginning? Zhang Jingyi trusted her son, but if Shen Huiran knew all along, why didn’t she swap the daughters back?

"It was her!" Ye Bai suddenly spoke, "Second brother, you are saying that Qian Lan Ya switched our children back then?"

"That’s right, because I’ve already checked. Their current daughter looks a lot like you, big brother, I think there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance. Saying this, he pulled out a surreptitiously taken photograph.

In the photo, Zhao Yao stood under the sun, not looking at the lens, yet it was easy to clearly see her face.

When Ye Qiu said they looked alike, they truly did, especially her nose, matching the high bridge of the Ye Family’s noses, as well as her single eyelid and thin lips that resembled Ye Bai, except for the cheeks that look slightly like Shen Huiran, giving her a softer appearance.

Zhao Yao wasn’t exceptionally stunning, just slightly above average, but placing her next to Ye Xingyan, it was clear who truly was Ye Bai’s daughter.

At this moment, Ye Xingyan was already confused, falling apart from the moment Ye Qiu began speaking. What was uncle saying? That she wasn’t mom and dad’s child? How could that be?

But looking at the girl in the photo, she had to admit, the girl indeed resembled dad more, even carrying a sixty percent resemblance to her younger brother Ye Xingyun.

Was this why mom never let her see the health checkups? But why, if mom truly knew from the beginning, why not bring back her biological daughter?

If mom didn’t care anymore, why did uncle meddle in this so much? Was her recent effort to please them all in vain?

"Son, you’re saying the eldest’s daughter was intentionally swapped back then? Why do you say this?" Ye Tang asked, not particularly concerned with whose granddaughter she was, only asking because his son made such a big announcement.

"Because I investigated the hospital where sister-in-law gave birth back then, the medical records suggested that both her and Qian Lan Ya might have been administered labor-inducing drugs. It seemed too coincidental that they gave birth on the same day despite different due dates. Of course, this is just my suspicion. Mainly, I’ve been inquiring about Qian Lan Ya and Zhao Yao these past two days, and it seems Qian Lan Ya isn’t kind to her daughter."

At the last sentence, Shen Huiran’s hand trembled again, a subtlety that the men might miss, but Zhang Jingyi and Ye Xingyan noticed.

Zhang Jingyi couldn’t help feeling disdain. If Shen Huiran indeed knew her daughter was swapped long ago but continued to hide it, she was at fault. How could a heart become so cold-blooded?

The biological daughter was suffering, yet Shen Huiran showered affection on someone else’s daughter. If it had been Zhang Jingyi herself, she couldn’t have done it.

"Should we call the police?"

Everyone looked to Ye Qiu at this point. Ye Qiu spread his hands with a smile, "This is big brother and sister-in-law’s child, naturally it’s up to you to decide. I merely checked out of gratitude to big brother for helping Dad manage the company."

Hearing this, Shen Huiran was somewhat relieved. If her brother-in-law didn’t care much and merely helped as a favor, then besides her husband, no one else would blame her.

But Ye Xingyan couldn’t ease her mind. If uncle truly didn’t care, then who was that room prepared and decorated for?

"When do you plan to bring the child home?" Ye Tang, as the head of the family, asked.

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, tonight it’s too late."

Ye Tang and Zhang Jingyi didn’t react much. Though it’s their biological granddaughter, Ye Tang didn’t care much about even his eldest son, let alone his son’s daughter. As for Zhang Jingyi, she had nothing to say; it didn’t concern her.

However, the reaction from Ye Bai and Shen Huiran as a couple to their biological daughter’s potential malicious swapping, despite Ye Qiu uncovering her less than favorable circumstances, they remained so calm. Even though it was already seven, it wasn’t too late to leave the house.

However, this was, after all, the couple’s affair, and others had little to comment on.

"Let’s go for a walk." Zhang Jingyi nudged her son towards the Flower House, Ye Tang quickly followed, leaving Ye Bai’s family in the living room, faces complicated.

"Mom!" Ye Xingyan couldn’t suppress her fear any longer and grabbed onto Shen Huiran’s hand, "Am I really not your child? I don’t want to leave you, uncle was joking, right? He must be lying to me, right?"

Shen Huiran looked at Ye Xingyan, unable to hold back her affection, "It’s okay, you’ll always be mom’s most beloved daughter, no one’s presence will affect your position."

Hearing her say this, Ye Bai standing by didn’t object.
