If it weren't for Sisi's sudden and worsening illness, and her inability to take Sisi to a better hospital for superior treatment on her own, she might never have brought Sisi back, and this secret would have remained buried forever.
But Sisi was sick, and for her daughter to live a healthy life, she risked having the child taken away by the Wei family, and the possibility of never seeing her daughter again. She brought her daughter back.
The Wei family's initial suspicious attitude made Zhang Qiong uneasy. She couldn't help but wonder, was it really not the Wei family?
But she had already come to the Wei family and couldn't back down. So, she insisted that the child was Wei Xingzhou's.
Sisi did resemble Wei Xingzhou greatly. She thought her uncle hadn't lied to her.
Wei Xingzhou's father and mother quickly took Sisi's hair and then went to find Wei Xingzhou. Zhang Qiong knew the Wei family would confirm this matter. Sisi's true identity would soon be known.
Later, the Wei family's reaction completely put Zhang Qiong at ease. Sisi was indeed Wei Xingzhou's child. However, what the Wei family said afterwards shocked her.
The Wei family had never arranged for this matter. The Wei family had no prior knowledge of it.
Not only that, but the Wei family also told her that Wei Xingzhou had only cultivated one child using his genes, and that was Cui Cui. But now...
They compared Cui Cui's genes with Wei Xingzhou's genes and discovered that their granddaughter, Cui Cui, whom they had always believed to be theirs, was not from the Wei family at all.
This incident greatly shocked Zhang Qiong. She didn't understand why. Did Wei Xingzhou want to cultivate a child with Lu Wanqing's genes from the beginning? And without the Wei family even knowing, Wei Xingzhou's genes were swapped?
The genes used to cultivate Cui Cui were replaced with someone else's genes, and the genes that truly belonged to Wei Xingzhou were brought to her, fused with her genes, and used to cultivate Sisi?
The Wei family even suspected her, but Zhang Qiong was not afraid. She told the Wei family everything she knew, including what her uncle had done.
She didn't sympathize with the Zhang family, nor did she feel she had harmed the Zhang family. Since the Zhang family had been willing to sacrifice her for fame and fortune, she was no longer part of the Zhang family. Her only family now was Sisi. As long as Sisi could be saved, she would reveal the truth of what happened back then.
After she explained the truth, the Wei family quickly took Sisi for treatment.
With the Wei family's power and influence, they easily sent Sisi to the best hospital in the entire federation for treatment, and Sisi's illness quickly recovered.
Watching her healthy daughter, Zhang Qiong's suspended heart finally relaxed.
Later, the Wei family went to find her uncle. Unfortunately, by the time they went, her uncle had already been missing for many years and there was no trace of him.
Later still, Wei Xingzhou's parents decided to let Wei Xingzhou acknowledge Sisi. They then summoned both Wei Xingzhou and Cui Cui back.
As for what happened afterwards, Wei Xingzhou knew.
Zhang Qiong finished speaking and looked at Wei Xingzhou, feeling a little nervous.
"Mm, I will investigate it," Wei Xingzhou said to Zhang Qiong.
Zhang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief and felt less tense.
Leaving Zhang Qiong, Wei Xingzhou returned to the guest room on the second floor. He opened his optical computer and began to review the information he had ordered to be investigated.
The truth of what happened eight years ago could not be uncovered immediately, but information about Zhang Qiong was easy to find.
Where Zhang Qiong had been over the past eight years, where she had lived with her daughter Sisi, and even what the mother and daughter had purchased on the interstellar net could all be traced.
Currently, there was no way to rule out the possibility of Zhang Qiong lying. However, one thing was confirmed: Cui Cui was indeed not his child, but Sisi was.
After reading the information, Wei Xingzhou still felt agitated. Why wasn't Cui Cui his? Clearly...
Wei Xingzhou's brows furrowed tightly. He even felt an urge to smash things, but thankfully, he managed to suppress it in the end.
Zhang Qiong's uncle...
He must find that person!
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou quickly used his connections to find people and began a search.
But the interstellar space was so vast, with countless planets. Finding Zhao Qiong's uncle was too difficult.
After making arrangements, Wei Xingzhou finally couldn't help but sit in his office chair, open a drawer, and take out a photo of Cui Cui from it.
He had many photos of Cui Cui.
So many.
He had always believed Cui Cui was his treasure, his only treasure, for so many years... he loved Cui Cui so much.
As Wei Xingzhou looked, a crystal tear fell.
They say men don't shed tears easily, but he was truly heartbroken.
How could it have been swapped?
He had cultivated it with his own hands, he had extracted his own genes and placed them in the same container with Lu Wanqing's genes, cultivating it little by little, very carefully. He had never left the laboratory. How could the genes have been swapped?
Wei Xingzhou raised his hand and hit his head, then opened his optical computer and brought up the surveillance footage from that year.
But as he was checking, he suddenly remembered—his cousin.
Nine years ago, when he was in the laboratory, his cousin had visited once.
Wei Xingzhou shot up from his seat, but quickly calmed down.
There wasn't enough evidence yet. He couldn't alert the snake.
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou wanted to call his parents, but as he opened his optical computer, he paused again.
His parents couldn't know about this.
His parents valued family deeply. Although his cousin wasn't his biological brother, their families had been close for many years, and his parents had always treated his cousin like their own child, taking great care of him.
Wei Xingzhou thought about his parents' personalities...
If what happened eight years ago was indeed done by his cousin, and the matter was exposed, at most he would just scold his cousin, and it would be over?
But... how could it be over?
He was unwilling!
If it weren't for that scoundrel, Cui Cui would have been his child and wouldn't have been swapped!
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou found another friend and instructed them to investigate—directly investigate his cousin—Wei Xingyun.
After making these arrangements, Wei Xingzhou paused, then made a call to his cousin.
The call was answered quickly, and his cousin's handsome projection appeared before him.
"Brother?" Wei Xingyun called out to him with a smile, looking very happy. "Brother, why are you calling me? You haven't looked for me to play for a long time."
"Where's Cui Cui?" Wei Xingyun looked beside Wei Xingzhou.
"Cui Cui is at school," Wei Xingzhou said, feigning happiness.
"At school?" Wei Xingyun seemed puzzled, but he quickly remembered and nodded. "Right, it's a weekday today, the child is indeed at school."
"By the way, Brother, is there anything you need?" Wei Xingyun asked with a smile.
