Chapter 68 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (9)
The morning sun was just right, gentle and mild, not scorching, yet warm enough to make one feel its warmth.
Zhao Weizhou paced slowly, his mind filled with doubts.
He couldn't help but look at Ning Zhiyu, who was playing on her phone with her head down, and asked, "Hey, do you know what your sister has been busy with these past few days?"
Normally, even with Ning Zhiyu and Meng Cili there, his sister would stay by his side until he recovered.
But this time, his sister only came to see him every day, and then disappeared.
When asked, she said that her father was looking for her and that he had something to do.
But when asked about the specifics, she refused to say anything.
Zhao Weizhou had a vague premonition that something significant had happened behind the scenes.
It's not necessarily a bad thing; it might even be a good thing.
Ning Zhiyu looked up at him, her expression indifferent, "I don't know either."
She was still wondering about it.
For the past few days, she and Meng Cili have been taking turns looking after Zhao Weizhou, while Sister Yan Yan has been running around everywhere and has firmly refused to let them follow behind. As a result, they still don't know what she's doing.
If they hadn't seen him every day, and if Uncle Zhao hadn't also been in H City, they would have secretly followed him long ago.
How could he possibly be sitting here calmly?
Ning Zhiyu was not in a good mood, and her expression became even colder.
Seeing that she couldn't give him anything useful, Zhao Weizhou stopped talking and his eyes wandered around, suddenly landing on a tree.
He stopped abruptly, his gaze fixed on the pale-faced boy in the wheelchair, his brows furrowed.
That person...
Looks so familiar!
Another face flashed into his mind, and Zhao Weizhou suddenly closed his eyes, his heart pounding. He then opened them again, but the wheelchair-bound boy who had just been under the tree was gone.
He tightened his grip on his abdomen slightly until he felt a clear pain, then he let go.
He read that right.
He was definitely not mistaken.
That person looks at least 50% like his father!
Zhao Weizhou's brows were furrowed, showing no sign of relaxation. He was lost in thought, but he suppressed it all and did not show it on his face.
"Ning Zhiyu, I want to go back now. Let's go upstairs."
His thoughts are in a mess right now; he needs to go back and sort them out.
As Zhao Weizhou turned to leave, he subconsciously looked back at the big tree and saw a glimpse of a sky-blue skirt flash by, as if someone had walked by.
"Xiaofeng, we've seen it all, we should go back now. The doctor said you can't be in the wind for too long."
Chu Mufeng nodded obediently, "Sister, let's go."
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly spoke up: "Sister, he's been raised very well, and he looks like a completely different person from me."
A cold and gloomy person is a bedbug that only deserves to live in dark and damp places.
A sunny and cheerful young man, exuding a clean and energetic spirit.
What a stark contrast, how... it makes one envious and jealous.
Chu Mufeng's face twisted slightly, his eyes flashing with sinister malice, but because his back was to Le Yan, she didn't notice.
Hearing the envy and sadness in Chu Mufeng's words, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him, after all, the lives of these two people were actually out of sync.
"Xiaofeng, you are great too. You have grown up in difficult circumstances, taken good care of yourself, and achieved excellent grades, surpassing countless people. You are an amazing person, and your sister is very proud of you."
The pale words conveyed a deep sense of heartache, which Chu Mufeng heard and felt deeply moved.
"Sister, will you hurt me a lot?"
He grabbed Le Yan's hand in a panic, as if afraid that even the slightest favor he had received would fly away.
With hopeful eyes and tears welling up, she said, "Sister, you won't leave me, right?"
"You said you're my older sister and I'm your younger brother, so we're the closest family and will never be separated, right?"
Le Yan nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course we won't separate."
She knew why Chu Mufeng was so uneasy, because when he was seven years old, he had experienced the tragedy of his parents leaving one after another, which had probably become a nightmare for him.
Holding Chu Mufeng's hand tenderly, looking at her younger brother who had suffered for so many years, Le Yan said very seriously, "We are siblings born of the same mother, and no one can separate us."
Chu Mufeng gazed at her, seeing through the tenderness in her eyes and understanding the unwavering determination hidden in her words. Finally, he smiled through his tears, "Yes! I believe in you, sister."
Since I promised him, I can never let go of his hand for the rest of my life.
Otherwise—he would die.
After sending Chu Mufeng back to his ward to rest, Le Yan took a deep breath at the ward door before turning around, taking the elevator downstairs, and going to see her other younger brother.
Before approaching the ward, Le Yan stopped and fell into deep thought.
She was wondering whether she should tell Zhao Weizhou about the baby swap.
After careful consideration, Leyan decided to tell him.
Now that Chu Mufeng already knows the truth, Zhao Weizhou is in no hurry to keep it from him.
Otherwise, she was afraid that something terrible might happen.
Having made the decision, Leyan pushed open the ward door, "Zhouzhou."
Not seeing Ning Zhiyu, she asked, "Where's Xiaoyu?"
"Grandpa Ning video-called her, but she went out."
Zhao Weizhou gave a casual reply, then quickly grabbed Le Yan's hand, his eyes filled with anxiety, and said, "Sister, something terrible has happened! I just saw someone who looks a lot like Dad, and he doesn't look very old. Do you think he could be Dad's...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Le Yan covered his mouth.
Le Yan was helpless. She didn't expect that her two younger brothers had just met, and she didn't expect that the one in front of her would think of that kind of thing.
However, she could understand. After all, if she hadn't discovered first that Zhao Weizhou wasn't her brother, she would have also suspected that Chu Mufeng was an illegitimate child when she saw him.
"Zhouzhou, I have something to tell you. Promise me you'll calm down, okay?"
Zhao Weizhou was already confused by having his mouth covered, but now seeing his older sister so serious only made him more bewildered.
But despite his confusion, he obediently nodded.
“Zhouzhou, actually the boy you saw is named Chu Mufeng. He is Dad’s son and my younger brother.”
"... ... ???!!!"
Upon hearing Le Yan's words, Zhao Weizhou's mind went blank at first, then filled with question marks, and finally his eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
"What's the meaning?!"
"Fifteen years ago, in the hospital, the Chu family and the Zhao family switched babies. Zhouzhou, you are the Chu family's son."
Zhao Weizhou blinked blankly, took the handful of documents, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that life was full of absurdities.
So all those stories about babies being switched at birth and real and fake young masters in TV dramas are based on real life!
He watched silently, something suddenly popping into his mind. He couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, cautiously looking at Le Yan. After a moment of contemplation, he whispered, "So that means I'm not your brother?"
He seemed rather panicked and frightened, which made Le Yan quickly say, "Of course you are still my younger brother, it's just that we have another younger brother now."
The Chu family is gone, and the Zhao family can afford to raise two children, so Zhao Weizhou will still be Zhao Weizhou, only Chu Mufeng will become Zhao Mufeng.
After a long silence, Zhao Weizhou finally responded blankly, "Oh..."
If it's still the younger brother... ...
