Chapter 15: Let's Skip the Hug [Page 1/2]
"Daxin I'll trouble you to make a trip today." After thanking him, Song Qiaoying turned and said, "Take good care of the executives."
"Yes, please follow me, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Daxin knew that they still had family matters to discuss, so after exchanging a few pleasantries with Ou Yan, he followed the steward downstairs.
"Come, let's sit down and talk."
Song Qiaoying held Ou Yan's hand and gestured for Li Yusha to sit down.
This scene, in Li Yusha's eyes, felt like a thorn piercing deep into her heart.
"Shasha, let me reintroduce her. Her name is Li Ou Yan, our biological child lost to us and Yuanfu."
When Li Yusha heard this, she felt thunderstruck.
She had initially thought this girl was a distant relative, here to borrow money, but she turned out to be her parents' own flesh and blood...
No wonder her parents treated her so well!
"The thing is, back then, Yuanfu and I passed through a small town, and my water broke. We had no choice but to find the nearest hospital to give birth."
Song Qiaoying recalled the fragments from her memory, "The hospital we found didn't have any single rooms left. The nurse temporarily arranged me in a room with two other expectant mothers."
"In the middle of the night, the hospital caught fire for some reason."
"Because of the thick smoke, I couldn't see the direction..."
"In the chaos, I picked up a child, thinking it was Yan Yan..."
"In reality, you were the child of another mother, not our own flesh and blood."
"I had made a mistake."
Every word of these sentences shattered the last defense line on Li Yusha's face.
She couldn't believe it; she and the Li family had no blood relation!!
"Yan Yan was taken away by the Bai family, their child was picked up by a janitor to raise, and you came to the Li family... If it weren't for the recent online search for missing relatives, we wouldn't have known that all three families had picked up the wrong children back then!"
Li Yusha was thunderstruck, her expression incredulous.
"As for your birth mother." Song Qiaoying hesitated, but chose to be honest in the end, "We had people investigate. Due to excessive postpartum bleeding and frail health, she didn't escape from the fire that night..."
What??? Her biological mother had died the night she was born?
Li Yusha's face drained of color, unable to believe everything.
"Your birth father's whereabouts are unknown, no trace was found." Song Qiaoying glanced at Ou Yan and said generously, "We discussed with Yan Yan. We plan to let you continue to stay in this family. From now on, she is your sister, and you are her sister."
"We owe Yan Yan too much over these years. We will do our best to make it up to her. Although you are not our own flesh and blood, we have treated you as such over the years. In the future, you and your sister should get along well, accommodate her more, spend more time with her, understand?"
Hearing her parents' biased words, Li Yusha couldn't accept it at all!
When does a younger sister take care of her older sister?
Over the years, she had been proud of her birth, as her father was the richest man in the country, her mother was famously beautiful, and her five brothers were thriving in various industries.
Everyone had always indulged her, pleased her, and fawned over her...
When did it become her turn to accommodate others, please others, and fawn over others?
Although extremely unwilling in her heart, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Yusha said generously, "This is quite sudden for me. To say I'm not upset would be a lie."

"Having lived in this family for eighteen years, one day, my beloved parents told me in person that I'm not their biological child..."
Li Yusha lowered her curled lashes, her lost and saddened expression looking pitiful.
"I never imagined that my birth mother died in the fire on the day I was born, my birth father's whereabouts unknown. I haven't fulfilled my filial duties to them even for a single day..."
Li Yusha's voice trembled as tears flowed involuntarily.
She wiped them away, balancing the bitterness, regrets, and sadness perfectly.
"Mom, Dad, if you're willing to continue to take me in, let me stay in this family, I'm very grateful and content. Rest assured, from now on, I will get along well with my sister!"
Her expression was sincere, her tear-washed eyes exceptionally genuine.
But Ou Yan, raised in the Bai family since childhood, had seen all sorts of oddities and eccentricities. With just one glance, she could tell that Li Yusha's words were insincere.
"Sister, welcome back to this family." Li Yusha opened her arms, intending to stage a scene of sisterly affection.
Under the expectant gaze of their parents, Ou Yan still lightly responded, "Hmm, I got the sentiment, but let's skip the hug."
Li Yusha froze in place.
"I don't like physical contact with others, sorry."
Ou Yan had always been indifferent, but Li Yusha perceived this response and attitude as setting her up, deliberately embarrassing her and asserting dominance over her.
"Yan Yan's temperament is relatively reserved, it will get better gradually. From now on, we're all family, Shasha, you don't have to be polite."
Upon hearing this, Li Yusha blushed, turned pale, and finally obediently responded, "Okay."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's have dinner first!" Song Qiaoying glanced at the time, "Yan Yan, are you hungry? We've been talking and forgot about dinner!"
"Tonight's dinner was made by your mom and me. See how it tastes?" Li Yuanfu smiled and said to Ou Yan, "If there's anything you don't like, let us know, we'll adjust."
The table was filled with various delicious dishes, and to hear that Li Yuanfu and Song Qiao Ying personally made them...
Li Yusha's heart felt sour.
It should be noted that there were already chefs in the house, so why did Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying have to cook themselves?
But today, they actually broke the rules for Ou Yan!
Li Yuanfu and Song Qiaoying kept serving Ou Yan dishes, and after a while, Ou Yan's plate and bowl were full.
Although they also took care of Li Yusha's feelings and served her a lot of dishes, Li Yusha noticed that they served Ou Yan more times than her.
This made her lose her appetite even more.
"Yan Yan, you've suffered over these years! Drink more soup to nourish your body."
"Eat more meat too, look how thin you are..."
Zhang Mama, standing aside, couldn't bear to see Miss Yusha being neglected.
Fortunately, Ou Yan finished her meal and went upstairs without lingering, giving Li Yusha a chance to chat with her parents.
After hesitating for a while, Li Yusha cautiously asked, "Dad, Mom, how did you decide that Sister is your biological child after seeing the missing persons notice online? Did you have any tokens?"
In fact, she wanted to ask if it could be a hoax?
After all, who wouldn't want to be the daughter of the richest man in the country...
Could they determine blood relations just based on a few similarities in appearance?
Li Yuanfu was momentarily stunned at the question but quickly smiled and explained, "We didn't have any tokens, just that when we saw Yan Yan's birth night experience and that night in our memories were exactly the same."
