Jiang Boya and Jiang Hongfa reflected on past regrets with Fang Sumei, Lili's birth mother, while planning a low-key acknowledgment of Lili to avoid upsetting her foster parents. Luo Yanqing consoled Kang Li during her confinement, deflecting her concerns as they discussed recognizing Jiang Boya as her father and his complex feelings toward Allen. The family prepared to address the matter openly with Lili that afternoon.

Upon hearing Jiang Hongfa's words, Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen stayed utterly silent. They rose from their seats almost at the same time, ignoring Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya completely, and exited the study.

Luo Yanqing trailed after them.

"Li Bao’s parents, they..."

Gazing at the deserted doorway of the study, Jiang Hongfa snapped back to reality and shifted his eyes to Jiang Boya. He was utterly puzzled by what Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen intended.

To his surprise, Jiang Boya shook his head: "I don’t know either." He had no clue what was on those two's minds.

Father and son remained seated in the study, both quiet for some time.

In the meantime, inside the guest room occupied by Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen, the pair fixed their intense stares on Luo Yanqing. After a prolonged silence, Cai Xiufen finally opened her mouth:

"Li Bao truly isn't our biological daughter. That year, as I carried her little brother close to giving birth, my condition during pregnancy was quite poor. To prevent any risks, I headed to the town clinic to wait for delivery...

After enduring much hardship, maybe due to my decent fortune, I safely delivered her younger brother in the end. At first, Li Bao’s father and I planned to leave that very day, yet the doctor insisted my health required further monitoring,

suggesting I stay one more day for a follow-up exam to confirm all was well before discharge, so I lingered at the clinic overnight. It was during the late hours of that night that cries and screams of a woman in labor reached my ears, persisting until dawn broke, after which silence fell."

Pausing briefly, Cai Xiufen went on: "Li Bao... was the infant I discovered then. An urgent call of nature woke me, and as I prepared to step out, a faint, kitten-like wail came from the trash bin in the bathroom corner—weak, sporadic, and heart-wrenching.

My chest clenched, and acting on instinct, I approached the bin for a peek, spotting a tiny baby haphazardly swaddled in ragged cloth, sobbing on the verge of exhaustion.

Overwhelmed with pity right then, I scooped up the child and returned to my room. With no one passing through the bathroom or corridor making a sound, nobody realized I'd retrieved a baby from there.

Yet, being honest folks, we couldn't just sneak the child home unnoticed.

Thus, I questioned the on-duty doctor, learning the clinic had admitted a pregnant woman late at night. Lacking any relatives,

to avert danger to her life, the staff rushed her to the delivery room for aid. But they never anticipated that, upon hearing she'd borne a frail baby girl,

her expression darkened instantly, and she unleashed a torrent of curses. The doctors then warned her the infant demanded meticulous care, or she might not survive long.

The woman nodded in agreement, but when the nurse offered to escort her to the ward, she claimed she could manage alone. Later, when the nurse checked, the woman had vanished.

Upon my story, the duty doctor and nurse determined the baby from the bathroom trash was discarded by that woman,

for in many eyes, girl infants held no value. Some go further, smothering or drowning their newborn daughters outright, never mind abandonment.

I adored that little one, sensing she was Heaven's blessing. Pleading with the doctor and nurse on duty, I claimed I'd birthed twins of different genders.

In this way, Li Bao and her brother became true siblings. Only I, your father-in-law, the delivering doctor, and that nurse knew of it.

You must see how deeply we—all of us, from me and your father-in-law to the rest of the family—loved and treasured Li Bao. To explain, before her marriage to you, we spared her any chores, fearing harm might befall her.

Li Bao entered the world fragile; lacking constant attention, she could've slipped away anytime, a devastation we couldn't bear." Dabbing at her tears, Cai Xiufen inquired: "Now, can you reveal when Li Bao learned of her origins? Her father and I never broached it at home, much less before her."

"Mother, rest easy—you and Father needn't fret. Xiao Li never once considered abandoning you."

With a grave expression, Luo Yanqing stated: "Everything Mr. Jiang mentioned before was accurate. Xiao Li learned the truth just before Grandma Yu's passing, right as Grandma Yu shut her eyes,

She avoided openly disclosing her connection to Xiao Li, simply instructing him to address her as grandma before shutting her eyes. Xiao Li gained the precise insight into her link with Grandma Yu from a letter Grandpa Xiao had left him, containing a photo inside.
