Lin Jiayi isn’t Mother’s biological daughter?
She’s lived two lifetimes and only now learned this.
This is even more surprising than hearing that Li Guangyuan isn’t Mrs. Li’s biological son.
Mrs. Li’s unusual preference for daughters over sons, willing to let her son’s family fall apart just to not wrong her two daughters.
This kind of behavior was unusual for the time, so when it was said that Li Guangyuan wasn’t Mrs. Li’s biological son, she could easily accept it.
Mother Lin cherished Lin Jiayi deeply, although in Mother Lin’s heart, Lin Jiayi didn’t hold the same status as her son Lin Jiadong.
But compared to her, also a daughter, it was a world of difference.
"Do you know the specifics? Since Eldest Sister is well-off, why would other’s daughter end up in our family? Mom never mentioned it before."
This really piqued Lin Chuxia’s curiosity.
"I know a little about it, Mom told me in the past few days, it seems that Eldest Sister’s family, when her family had a mishap, Eldest Sister’s parents fled to our hometown and somehow got separated, and at that time Eldest Sister’s mother was already more than nine months pregnant, suddenly gave birth early, and happened to be encountered by Mom, who saved both mother and daughter. Mom said when Eldest Sister was born, she was tiny and pitiful, like she couldn’t survive, and left behind as they couldn’t take her while fleeing. Later Eldest Sister’s biological parents escaped abroad and only returned when the policies eased in recent years. This time Eldest Sister’s biological mother came back just to find her."
Lin Chuxia nodded, her fingers gently tapping the table.
An City Vegetable Station has a foreign investment, and Lin Jiayi’s biological mother is from abroad, and the overseas Chinese Ms. Zhuang Jingshu she’s recently been in contact with happened to come to An City to fulfill a last wish.
Lin Chuxia didn’t think there could be such coincidences, so Lin Jiayi’s biological mother’s identity is probably that Ms. Zhuang Jingshu.
If it weren’t for her connection with her master, when Ms. Zhuang’s illness was severe, she would probably have returned abroad again or gone to a big hospital in the capital, or perhaps even...
Therefore, in her previous life, Lin Jiayi hadn’t revealed this identity mostly because something happened with Ms. Zhuang’s side.
"No wonder Mom was biased toward Eldest Sister since she was a child; she wasn’t our family’s kid. If that’s the case, it’s understandable, Eldest Sister is an outsider, after all, you should be more accommodating toward outsiders."
Lin Jiadong was muttering softly over there.
"Strangely, Mom also said not to let me go home for a while, telling me to stay in school on weekends. Before, when I wanted to study at school, she always urged me to go home, but now she’s actively letting me stay."
"By the way, Second Sister, I’m sorry, I accidentally blurted out, Mom knows you’ve been in An City recently, she might come to find you."
Lin Jiadong looked guilty, "I really didn’t mean to, Mom rarely asks me about you, I don’t know what’s going on with her and Eldest Sister lately. They ask me about you every now and then, and I accidentally let it slip."
This was also the main reason he came to find Second Sister.
Eldest Sister hasn’t gotten along with Second Sister for a long time, and now she has a wealthy mother, Lin Jiadong doesn’t think Eldest Sister is looking for Second Sister with good intentions.
His big mouth, however, let Eldest Sister pry the information from him.
"It’s okay."
Lin Chuxia knew that even if Lin Jiadong hadn’t slipped, eventually Lin Jiayi and her mother would have found her.
A couple of days ago, Sun Bingnan even called her, saying her mother asked him about her, even asked Sun Bingnan for her number.
Sun Bingnan knew about Lin Chuxia and her relationship, so he didn’t give her the phone number.
