The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 333 - 221_2
Chapter 333: Chapter 221_2
Chapter 333 -221_2
The last time I saw a man cry so uncontrollably was a little boy in the park who wanted a toy his dad wouldn’t buy him.
At that time, the kid wailed and rolled on the ground, completely disregarding his image, tears and snot mixing as they dripped into his mouth.
Such genuine emotion.
But Jingxiu, he was holding it in.
After crying for a long time, Jingxiu finally shook his hand and wiped his eyes, then tremulously took out a pocket watch from inside his collar.
He hung the pocket watch around his neck, opened it, and inside was a small photograph.
Then he placed the opened pocket watch on top of the paternity test report.
Behind her sunglasses, Wenyan glanced at Jingxiu before reaching out to take the pocket watch.
The photograph in the pocket watch had been kept — or rather, preserved — very well by Jingxiu.
One could tell at a glance that it was from a bygone era, but not a single part of it was faded, and the features and expressions on the faces of the two people in the photo were still clearly visible.
Without a doubt, one of the people in the photo was Wenrou.
And the other person… Wenyan gasped in shock.
The sunglasses hid her eyes and thereby her gaze, but they couldn’t hide her mouth.
Seeing her like this, Jingchuan immediately stood up, went over to her, and took the pocket watch from her hand.
Jingxiu quickly followed suit.
The two brothers furrowed their brows almost in unison as they looked at the photograph inside the watch.
Wenyan also stood up and came back to her senses at this moment.
Jingchuan then turned around and took off her sunglasses, lowering his voice to ask,
“The lighting here is so dim, and the photo is in black and white, can you even see it with those sunglasses on?”
“What do you think?” Wenyan directly placed the sunglasses on Jingchuan’s nose, “You take a look.”
“…Great, I don’t even need a paternity test to be sure he’s the owner of those few strands of hair. The man in the photo looks way too much like you!!”
“Yes, no wonder Chengcai was so certain, insisting on impersonating my father. He must have had it all figured out the first time he saw me.”
“And the birthmark on your waist. But why didn’t this person have any reaction when he saw you?”
“…Because he had no idea my mother was pregnant. Alright, give me back the sunglasses.”
“Why do you insist on wearing sunglasses? I can’t even see your eyes.”
“Because I’m going to interrogate him.”
Jingxiu raised his hand and without saying a word took the sunglasses off Jingchuan’s face and handed them back to Wenyan.
Wenyan turned around with the sunglasses in hand and looked at Jingxiu.

“Does my face look familiar to you?”
“At first glance, it did look a bit familiar, but I never thought in this direction; I never knew I had a daughter in this world. I had also long forgotten what I used to look like. I don’t have many photos left, this is the only one, and the only one with Xiaorou.”
“Good,” Wenyan put the sunglasses back on, “Now, is there anything else you want to know? I can tell you everything.”
Jingxiu, afraid Wenyan might be frightened by his appearance, glanced at her once before lowering his head.
“Did you suffer at the orphanage? Were the people there good to you?”
To be honest, Wenyan didn’t know; she had no memory of that period.
However, when she had just taken over the body, she also didn’t sense any psychological trauma from the original owner. So…
“It wasn’t very hard. The staff at the welfare institute were pretty good, and when I was in my teens, I was adopted by my current foster father. Standing before you are my two brothers, with whom I have no blood relation, and their family has treated me very well. I am very happy.”
“Good, it’s good as long as you’re happy. It was my fault, towards your mother, towards you. But as long as you’re happy, your mother in heaven will definitely be happy for you, too.”
“Perhaps. Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“Your being a celebrity now, Chengcai’s actions must have had a big impact on you. Is there anything I can do for you?”
Wenyan shook her head: “Nothing. Any other questions?”
“No more, as long as you’re well and free from troubles.”
“Good. Now it’s my turn to ask you. We already agreed earlier; I’ll tell you everything I know, and you must answer my questions.”
“Ask, I will answer all your questions, with absolutely no secrets.”
“Good, your name. I don’t believe you’re just called Third Brother.”
“Xu Jie, my name is Xu Jie.”
“Xu Jie,” Wenyan nodded, “Good. Next question. Why did you abandon my mother?”
