Chapter 417 Recognizing a Daughter
Zhan Jinhua had found out almost everything about Xing Jiaqi's family, and the next day she began to stake out the neighborhood where Xing Zhiqiang and his wife lived.
Her impression of Xing Jiaqi still remained at the age of fifteen, which was the year she was arrested. Although girls change a lot when they grow up, their appearance should not change much.
She heard from people in the community that although Xing Jiaqi was not good-looking, she was fashionable and knew how to dress well. She was also tall and looked good in clothes.
In Zhan Jinhua's memory, this youngest daughter was already over 1.6 meters tall when she was fifteen years old. She was very slim and had a slender body. She should have inherited Qian Jindou's figure. Although she was not beautiful, her appearance was acceptable. At least she was better looking than other members of the Zhan family. However, she looked very different from her twin sister Qian Niandi. The doctor said at the time that they were fraternal twins, so it was normal for them to look different.
Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao were waiting for Xing Jiaqi downstairs of Xing's house. When Xing Jiaqi went to Xing's house to pick up her child after get off work in the evening, Zhan Jinhua recognized her at a glance.
Xing Jiaqi parked her car downstairs of her adoptive parents' house, put on exquisite makeup, wore a very fashionable outfit, and wore a pair of high heels. She entered the unit door and took the elevator to go upstairs.
Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao were still waiting downstairs. She planned to follow Xing Jiaqi for two days, and after finding out her home address and workplace, she would consider getting to know Xing Jiaqi.
In addition, Zhan Jinhua also remembered that there was someone she could contact, that was Zhan Tiehua's ex-husband Qin Xingzhou. However, she needed to take her chances to find this person, because she was not sure whether Qin Xingzhou was still in Jiangyuan City, whether he still ran the delicatessen, whether the delicatessen had changed its name, and where it was located.
If she were to find Qin Xingzhou, she would definitely extort a large sum of money from him.
But the most urgent task now is to tie himself up with Xing Jiaqi first.
Xing Jiaqi has her own car and is stylishly dressed. Through tracking, she found that the neighborhood where she lives is also very good. It is a high-rise apartment with an elevator that she has never seen before. In Zhan Jinhua's opinion, this is a high-end residence. From these conditions, it can be seen that Xing Jiaqi's current living standard is good.
With this in mind, Zhan Jinhua felt better. Moreover, she heard that Xing Jiaqi worked in finance and had contact with money, so there was still a lot of room for maneuver. She had to make good use of Xing Jiaqi's job and maximize the value of her position.
A few days later, Zhan Jinhua and Xing Jiaqi had their first face-to-face contact.
It was a sunny afternoon. Xing Jiaqi and her colleagues were returning to the unit after lunch, but were stopped by Zhan Jinhua and Sun Xiaohao.
Xing Jiaqi looked at the mother and son who were blocking her way and asked unhappily, "Who are you and what do you want from me?"
Zhan Jinhua tried to squeeze out a few pitiful tears while making faces and said sentimentally: "My daughter, I finally found you..."
Sun Xiaohao also responded: "Sister, I am your biological brother. Mom has been looking for you for many years..."
Xing Jiaqi was confused, frowned, and said impatiently: "You got the wrong person..."
She was about to take two steps to the side and bypass Zhan Jinhua and her son, but Zhan Jinhua grabbed her arm and said, "Jia Qi, if you don't believe me, you can do a paternity test with me. I am really your biological mother. I gave birth to you and your sister, and you two were twins. In the end, the doctor said that only one survived. Later, your father and I heard that you were not dead, but were betrayed by the doctor who delivered you. Only recently did we finally get news about you..."
Zhan Jinhua confused right and wrong and made herself the victim, while Xing Zhiqiang and his wife, who adopted Xing Jiaqi, became the buyers.
Xing Jiaqi never knew that she was not her parents' biological child. For so many years, they treated her as their own and had no estrangement with her. However, there was one thing that made Xing Jiaqi very dissatisfied with her adoptive parents.
That is, her brother will soon graduate from graduate school and has already started talking about marriage. Since he is going to get married, the family has to prepare a wedding house, gifts and wedding ceremony, which is a considerable expense, at least one or two hundred thousand yuan.
Xing Jiaqi has been married for seven years. It was 2006. Her family gave her yuan as a dowry, and her adoptive parents prepared the dowry for other families' daughters. Her in-laws gave her yuan as a betrothal gift, and her adoptive parents let her keep it all.
It can be said that her dowry was very impressive at that time. Not to mention that many families would not give their daughters so much money as a deposit, it was rare to find a family that could afford 100,000 yuan in this era.
There is a six-year age difference between her and her brother. Her adoptive parents thought that their son was still young, so they focused on Xing Jiaqi first.
But now that my son is getting married, it is necessary to prepare a wedding house. My family cannot afford to pay the full amount at the moment, so we say that we will give my son a down payment of 200,000 yuan, and the son and his wife will pay the loan themselves. We have prepared 88,000 yuan for the betrothal gift.
Xing Jiaqi felt that her adoptive parents favored her son and had been quarreling with them recently. Although she sent her child to the elderly every day as usual, she was not happy with the elderly couple. Her request was to make up for the extra share given to her younger brother.
Xing Zhiqiang and his wife have worked diligently over the years, and they also set up roadside stalls to increase their income when they are free. It is not easy for them to raise two children. The children's schooling is already a big expense. The weddings of the two children have almost exhausted their family savings, so they really can't give Xing Jiaqi any extra money.
As a result, Xing Jiaqi set her sights on the house where the old couple lived, but she has not made it clear yet.
Xing Zhiqiang and his wife originally thought that after their son graduated and got married, they would be able to enjoy a peaceful and happy life, but they never expected to encounter such a bad thing.
Although the couple invested more in their son's marriage, isn't it the same for every family with both sons and daughters?
Apart from this incident, the old couple felt that they had a clear conscience towards Xing Jiaqi and that they had basically been able to treat her equally.
Their son Xing Jiayuan has always been very good to his sister, and would always think of sharing any delicious food with his sister. He worked part-time during college and graduate school, and often bought food, clothes and daily necessities for his little nephew. On the contrary, Xing Jiaqi, as a sister, has never bought anything for her brother after graduating and working for so many years.
The old couple of the Xing family sometimes thought about these things and felt a little chilled, but they never told Xing Jiaqi that she was not their biological child, but adopted. Once such words were spoken, they could not take them back, and they could not bear to push away the child they had raised with great effort.
Now someone told Xing Jiaqi that she was her biological mother, she naturally couldn't believe it easily. Besides, the two people in front of her were shabby and ugly, how could they be her family?
