The couple had three children in total, two daughters and one son.
The eldest daughter died young. The second daughter, due to strict family planning policies at the time,
The couple could not afford the exorbitant fine and wanted to have a son, so they cruelly abandoned their second daughter.
Although they knew their second daughter was adopted, she had left the village long ago to study out of town. In the vast sea of people, where could they possibly find her?
Just as the couple was in despair, an unfamiliar phone call came.
“What did you say? My daughter is…”
Upon receiving this call, Jiang Jianguo trembled all over with excitement, his voice shaking, “My daughter Jiang Mingxia is Jiang Ling?”
The female voice on the other end, smug and chilling, replied, “That’s right, Jiang Mingxia is Jiang Ling, and Jiang Ling is Jiang Mingxia. She is your second daughter, Jiang Mingxia, whom you abandoned in a garbage heap twenty years ago and who was then adopted.”
“Heavens…”
Hearing the other party speak so definitively, Jiang Jianguo was so overjoyed he almost fainted.
Following this, Zhang Lian, hearing the contents of the phone call from Jiang Jianguo, her eyes lit up, and she grinned from ear to ear with delight.
She never would have imagined that her second daughter, whom she had abandoned years ago, would grow up to be so successful.
Jiang Ling, she was Jiang Ling.
Who in the Dragon Country today didn't know that Jiang Ling was the hottest star in the entertainment industry, bar none.
Her income from performances and endorsements alone was several hundred million yuan a year.
If they could acknowledge her, not only could she be a match for their youngest son, but all the medical expenses, nutritional fees, future housing and car purchases for marriage, and the betrothal gifts for the bride’s family would no longer be their concern.
Life is unpredictable. How could they, the couple, have ever imagined that the daughter they once most despised would now become the guarantee for their future comfort and prosperity?
Learning that Jiang Ling was now living in Modu, not far from the hospital, how could they sit still?
The next morning, the couple, following the address provided by the mysterious person on the phone, arrived at Jiang Ling’s residence.
Looking at the luxurious and high-end residential complex in the heart of Modu before them, the couple became even more excited.
Modu was a place where land was measured in gold. Even a modest two-bedroom apartment cost several million.
The apartments in this complex were all large units of 140 square meters or more, with the cheapest unit costing over forty million.
The fact that she could afford a house here clearly indicated that she was truly wealthy.
Eager to go in and acknowledge their daughter, the couple forgot that the security in high-end residential areas was always very tight; you couldn't just enter as you pleased.
Before they could even set foot inside the complex, they were stopped.
The couple quickly said they were Jiang Ling’s relatives and hoped for some leniency.
However, the security guard mistook them for reporters trying to sneak in for candid shots. Despite their pleading, the couple remained unmoved.
An Qiuyan, hiding in the shadows, saw this and mentally cursed these two as useless, unable to even handle a security guard.
It seemed she would have to take action herself.
Through An Qiuyan's arrangements, the couple, disguised as cleaners, successfully infiltrated the complex.
Arriving at Jiang Ling's doorstep, Jiang Jianguo suppressed his excitement and pressed the doorbell firmly.
At this moment, Jiang Ling was napping. Hearing the doorbell, she walked over.
Through the smart lock, Jiang Ling saw from inside the door a middle-aged couple, around fifty years old, with dark complexions.
Seeing these two, Jiang Ling paused and opened the door, asking, “Who are you? What do you want with me?”
“Pandì, no… Mingxia, I am your biological father!”
Seeing Jiang Ling emerge, Jiang Jianguo quickly put on a kind and amiable fatherly smile.
