Chapter 355: Good Life in Exchange for Children
Ever since receiving the call from the Public Security Bureau, Cai Qionghua has been feeling uneasy.
She lives a leisurely life now, she is very content and doesn't want to create any more trouble.
The child named Zeng Ni had nothing to do with her.
She couldn't understand why the police called her when so many years had passed.
She was so in no mood to even get a manicure that she just picked up her handbag and walked out.
She now has a son and a daughter, both of whom are in high school and live on campus, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
She usually just does beauty treatments, does the gym, and drinks tea. She lives a very good life.
Standing on the street, she was at a loss for a moment.
She did have another child, but it wasn't Zengni.
The good life she has now was exchanged for that child.
Occasionally she would dream about him, but if someone asked her if she regretted it, she would definitely say no.
If she had it to do over again, she would make the same choice.
At that time, she was just a working girl, working in an electronics factory.
Workers on the assembly line work extremely hard and only earn a few hundred yuan a month.
She was noticed by her supervisor because of her good looks. As a girl of eighteen or nineteen, it is easy for her to believe in sweet words.
It was only after she became pregnant that she found out that the supervisor had a wife.
She felt like the sky was falling and didn't know what to do. The man asked her to give birth to the child and if it was a boy, he would marry her.
But she was very hesitant. It takes a lot of courage to have a child before getting married.
And what if she gave birth to a girl? What would she do then?
That day, she went to the hospital for a check-up and wanted to ask the doctor whether the baby was a boy or a girl, but the doctor refused to tell her.
You’ll know after you give birth, the doctor said without any warmth in his words.
She sat in the hospital corridor, helpless tears streaming down her face.
At this time, a hand reached out and handed her a pack of tissues.
Her fate changed from that moment on.
She hadn't thought about this for years and thought she had forgotten it if it weren't for that damn phone call.
The police not only called her, but also called her husband. Of course, her current husband is not the supervisor back then, and he knew nothing about it.
I don’t know if the police’s call made him suspicious, but it doesn’t matter. He eats her and uses her things, so what even if he knows?
She was walking and thinking about something else, and didn't notice a child running towards her and almost knocked her down.
A hand reached out to support her, and when she looked up, she saw a girl who looked very young.
She was about to thank her when the girl spoke first.
"Ms. Cai, let's talk on the phone. I'm Officer Su, and I want to talk to you." Su Xiaoxiao showed her ID.
"Didn't I tell you that that girl is not my child? Why are you still looking for me?" She frowned, with impatience on her face.
"Let's find a place to talk. You don't want to be watched here, do you?" Su Xiaoxiao said slowly.
Cai Qionghua looked to the side and saw passers-by looking at them curiously.
"Let's go here." She pointed to the coffee shop next door and led the way into the store without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao to answer.
Su Xiaoxiao and Li Yan also followed. She found that if the subject of the investigation was a woman, it would be more convenient to bring Li Yan with her rather than Lu Cheng, as this way the other party would not be so wary.
Cai Qionghua found a secluded corner where they could see outside but outsiders could not see them.
She ordered three cups of coffee and waited until the waiter left before she spoke.
"That child is really not mine, why don't you believe it?"
"Because when Zeng Ni was born, you were the registered mother." Su Xiaoxiao took out a copy of her passport from that year.
The photo on the passport was of a very young girl, very different from the person in front of me. She should have been only twenty years old at that time.
Now he is middle-aged and plump, with a rosy complexion and fair skin, and it can be seen that he is living a good life.
"Maybe they made a mistake." Cai Qionghua shook his head.
"Twenty-five years ago, you applied to go abroad in the name of visiting relatives and stayed in the United States for more than half a year. You were pregnant at that time, and you went to the United States to give birth to a child.
If Zeng Ni is not your child, then where is your child?"
Cai Qionghua's eyelids twitched. In fact, she didn't know where her child had gone.
"In fact, we can know whether it is your child by doing a DNA test, so there is no need for you to hide it. We will not tell your husband." Li Yan thought this matter was very simple.
Who knew that Cai Qionghua's expression suddenly relaxed, "Since you don't believe it, let's test it."
Seeing her relaxed expression, the two looked at each other. It seemed that Zeng Ni was really not her child, but she must know whose child Zeng Ni was.
"Ms. Cai, now we believe Zeng Ni is not your child, but you must know who she is, right? You went to the United States to give birth to a child. The hospital has records, so there is no mistake about this. But when you came back, you didn't bring the child back. So let me guess."
Su Xiaoxiao continued speaking while observing Cai Qionghua's expression.
"When you went abroad, you were less than 20 years old, not even of marriageable age, and with your financial ability, you simply could not afford such a large expense to give birth abroad, so someone paid for you.
When you came back, you didn't bring the child back, because the child was destined to be someone else's. That person took your child and gave you a sum of money, which you later used to buy several houses in Jingzhong."
"Why can't it be the house that my husband paid for?" Cai Qionghua curled her lips.
"Since we come to find you, we must know something about you." Li Yan smiled. When it comes to looking up information, no one is better than her. She had already checked out her situation thoroughly before coming.
"When you married your husband, he was just an ordinary employee and didn't have the ability at all. All the houses in your family are in your name, and you also signed a prenuptial agreement with him.
Before you went to the United States, you worked in a big city, but after you came back, you did not go back to that city, nor did you go back to your hometown. Instead, you came to Jingzhong, and not long after, you bought a house in Jingzhong.
Since Zeng Ni is not your child and you did not bring her back, that means you sold your child for money, right?"
Li Yan is not stupid. She can make a rough guess by just associating the past and the present.
Cai Qionghua's face turned ugly, and Su Xiaoxiao continued with Li Yan's words.
"Then let's make another guess. The person who paid for your expenses should not be the child's father. You didn't bring the child back, but there is a girl under your name. However, you are sure that this girl is not yours. Then there is only one possibility. The child you gave birth to was not a girl, but a boy. Someone exchanged the girl she gave birth to for the boy.
If I'm not mistaken, the person who gave you the money is Zeng Ni's mother."
