Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Mrs. Sun glanced at the two people and then at the courtyard. She felt a bit of disdain in her heart.

When she saw the way Jiang Yao's adoptive parents entered and left the highest-class hotel in Jindo City, she had thought that they were wealthy people. She had not expected them to be just farmers.

On the other hand, Jiang Yao's husband's family was wealthy and tight-knit. However, compared to the Sun family, a true scholarly family, the Lu family was only a small tycoon in the county.

"I'm here to retrieve my daughter." Mrs. Sun did not even start with pleasantries. She said straightforwardly, "You know very well how you obtained Jiang Yao when she was a child. You took my daughter. I am her biological mother; why shouldn't I take my daughter with me.

"Qiuran!" When Mr. Sun heard his wife's words, he scolded her in a low voice. Then, he said to Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, "That is about the child. Can we go to the courtyard and talk to you? It's not good to do this in front of kids."

Mr. Jiang, who had been angry because of Mrs. Sun's words, calmed down a little. He looked at the man for a few seconds. He seemed like a cultured person. Since it was related to Jiang Yao, he invited the man to the courtyard.

After the five of them went to the courtyard, their neighbor saw them and thought it was a bad situation. Had Jiang Yao's biological parents found them?

It had been 20 years. How did they find them?

Many children in the village were not biologically related to their families. Decades ago, it was not an exaggeration to say that they could pick up a child every three to five days. If the child were not sick, then they were daughters.

However, after so many years, no biological parents had ever come to look for a daughter, who must have been fostered by any family. Everyone knew that many families did not want daughters because sons had more value.

They knew that if the daughter were wanted, she would not have been thrown away in the first place. If they threw her away, it meant that she was not wanted.

Therefore, no one in the village would tell the child that they were adopted. The daughter might run away if they were to find out about it.

After the neighbors waited for the Jiang family to bring their guests to the yard, they immediately put down what they were doing and ran to the village's snack bar to make a call. They called Jiang Jie's unit. Fortunately, Jiang Jie was still there as he was doing some overtime. The neighbors told Jiang Jie about what had happened and told him to come back as soon as possible so that his parents would not be at a disadvantage.

There were almost no secrets in the countryside—all news spread. Even Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu had heard the news.

Meanwhile, in the Jiang family's living room. Mr. Jiang asked Mrs. Jiang to boil some water for tea. Even though he was unhappy because of the woman's words, the visitor was a guest, so they must treat them as such. A cup of tea was always necessary.

"Where did you hear that we had picked up Jiang Yao?" Mr. Jiang gritted his teeth. If he knew who was talking behind his back and ruining his family's peace, he would take the hammer to that person's house later!

"No one told us, but mothers and daughters are always connected. I could feel it when I first saw her. She is my daughter, and I am her mother. Of course, I would know when I saw my daughter. Besides, we look so much alike." Mrs. Sun lowered her head and looked at the tea that Mrs. Jiang poured. Then she reached out to touch the edge of the bowl.
