    Recognize relatives

    Mr. Xiao indeed makes a clear distinction between public and private matters.

    Because the whole company saw the personnel notice the next day—Assistant Wen was transferred from the head office because he brought personal emotions into work and caused work mistakes.

    Colleagues gave Chu Jiao thumbs up and lamented that she was so lucky to have avoided possible retaliation.Chu Jiao felt that the whole thing was weird, ever since she returned to this world.

    If her memory was correct, since she joined the company, apart from the canteen, the only place where she and Mr. Xiao could meet was at the annual meeting. She also secretly went to look for him. Logically speaking, Xiao Qi would never notice an ordinary employee like her.

    So why did Xiao Qi pass there that night?Did you happen to meet her who just came back?

    She was too distracted to notice it at the time, but looking back now, it was almost as if he knew she was there.

    And something even more strange to Chu Jiao was yet to come.

    One day when she was about to get off work, she suddenly received a call.A gentle middle-aged female voice came from the microphone. She claimed to be Mrs. Wen and wanted to see her.

    Chu Jiao originally thought that Mrs. Wen was here to cause trouble for her daughter Wen Jiaojiao.

    But because she wanted it but had buried her obsession with family for more than twenty years in her heart, Chu Jiao agreed and met the woman who should be her biological mother in a high-end restaurant.

    Mrs. Wen is over forty years old, but she is very well-maintained. Her appearance makes her appear to be the mistress of a wealthy family, and she is very well-mannered in every word and deed.Chu Jiao, who thought it was a banquet at Hongmen, found that Mrs. Wen was extremely excited after seeing her. She wanted to touch her cheek with trembling hands. There were faint tears in her eyes, and she muttered, “It really looks like it, it really does…”

    After sitting down, Mrs. Wen told her a story from the past.

    It was a mistake made more than 20 years ago, in a private hospital, and between two women who went into labor at the same time.In short, the medical staff at the time placed the wrong crib after delivering the baby, and the children of the two families were exchanged.But now, Mrs. Wen has discovered the truth of that year and wants to recognize her real daughter.

    Chu Jiao calmly listened to the whole story, lowered her eyes and fiddled with the spoon in the coffee cup, saying nothing.

    Mrs. Wen thought she was still digesting the matter, so she held her hand on the dining table and said, “Jiaojiao, come back to us. Dad and I miss you very much!”

    “Mrs. Wen,” Chu Jiao gently withdrew her hand, “I want to ask you something.”

    “You kid, why are you still so outspoken? I am your mother,” Mrs. Wen said angrily, “Your facial features are exactly the same as Lao Wen’s, you must be our daughter!”

    “My surname is Chu after the director of the orphanage.” The implication of Chu Jiao’s words is very clear. Her surname is Chu, not Wen, so it is better to admit her relatives in such a hurry.

    Her words caused the corners of the woman in front of her to droop, but she regained her gentle curve for a moment, “Okay, okay, mom won’t force you. What do you want to ask?”

    “Back then…” Chu Jiao recalled that rainy night, the system showed her how the world in the book should have developed.

    Originally, she, the supporting actress, would later get some clues from the director of the orphanage, follow the clues to find the Wen family, and hope with satisfaction that the Wen family and his wife would recognize her.At that time, the heroine and the hero were already engaged, but their relationship was not deep.It was her appearance that changed the heroine’s mentality, making her more self-reliant and voluntarily leaving the Wen family. However, she attracted the male protagonist through constant work contacts, and finally got married to him.

    At that time, Wen’s parents did a paternity test with her and recognized her in private, but they did not let go of Wen Jiaojiao.After all, she has been raising a daughter for more than 20 years. In private, Mrs. Wen often secretly helps and cares for Wen Jiaojiao.

    After learning that Wen Jiaojiao was going to marry Xiao Qi, Wen’s father took Wen Jiaojiao back to Wen’s house and proudly told others that Xiao Qi was his son-in-law.But she, the real daughter, seemed to have become invisible in the family, and no one cared about her. It was because she liked Xiao Qi, and she tried to marry Xiao Qi instead of Wen Jiaojiao, so she was finally punished by the male protagonist and did not die well.

    Therefore, according to the development in the book, Mrs. Wen should not know her existence now, because she never thought about finding her biological parents after she came back.

    But the current situation is that she didn’t do anything, and Mrs. Wen took the initiative to come to the door.So when did Mrs. Wen learn that her child had been carried by the wrong person?How did you find out?What is the plan behind wanting to recognize her at this time?

    Chu Jiao asked, but Mrs. Wen didn’t answer. She just talked about him.

    Finally, Mrs. Wen left a business card and told Chu Jiao that she would take her back to Wen’s house when she figured it out.

    Chu Jiao stood up and sent Mrs. Wen away, giving her a hug before she left.

    Mrs. Wen was flattered and hugged her back, her eyes filled with emotion.

    After watching Mrs. Wen get into the car and being driven out of the restaurant by the driver, Chu Jiao sat back down.She ordered one of the store’s signature dishes, then slowly took out a pair of headphones from her bag and put them on, and turned on her phone with her other hand.

    “I told you to take your time, take your time, but you let me go in a hurry. That girl is so restless that she doesn’t even want to go back to Wen’s house!”

    The middle-aged female voice coming from the earphones spoke clearly, but it was less elegant than before and more angry.

    “That’s your daughter. If you don’t go, who will? We don’t have much time!” Another middle-aged male voice sounded in the earphones. Chu Jiao slowly cut a piece of steak. In the eyes of others, she seemed to be listening to music while enjoying the food alone, which was so comfortable.

    But the fact is that while she was hugging Mrs. Wen, she attached a miniature listening device to the collar of her coat. She originally planned to buy this device so that she could attach it to Xiao Qi to observe him, but she didn’t know that she would encounter this thing before she met him.

    “I have never given birth to such an ugly daughter!” The female voice suddenly became hysterical, “Jiaojiao is my daughter!!”

    “Oh, you…” The man’s voice became weaker, “Didn’t you hear that she had her birthmark removed? I shouldn’t have allowed you to let her go…”

    “Isn’t it for you, the Wen family!? Ah!? If you really give birth to such an ugly child, where will you put your face? Where will the Wen family’s face be put!?”

    “Squeak-” The knife and fork made a harsh sound on the dinner plate. Chu Jiao put down the tableware, gestured apologetically to the people around her and asked the waiter to pay the bill with a cold face.

    She raised her hand to turn off the listening device. After hearing this, she was no longer interested in anything else.However, the next sentence in the earphone interrupted her movements.

    “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about these old things. The top priority is to get her back as soon as possible! Who knows what happened to the Xiao family, and Xiao Qi didn’t know where he learned that Jiaojiao is not our biological child, and he has to marry the real daughter of the Wen family. The company is now seriously short of liquidity, and we are waiting for the Xiao family to come to the rescue. You quickly find a way to get Wen Jiaojiao away and get Chu Jiao back!”
