The president's wife wants to run away

Chapter 68 Small Twists and Turns

Zhong Yuxuan frowned, staring at the letter in his hand, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it. The content of the letter was not much, but every word was heart-piercing, like a cold knife, stabbing straight into my heart.

"The letter said that I was not my parents' biological child, but an abandoned child. It also said that my existence would bring misfortune to those around me..." My voice became smaller and smaller, almost drowned out by my own heartbeat. Saying these words was like uncovering the deepest scar in my heart, bloody and painful enough to make me unable to breathe.

Qin Xue hugged me, patted my back gently, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Luo Xue, this must be fake! Don't believe these nonsense."

Zhong Yuxuan put down the letter, walked in front of me, took Qin Xue and me into his arms, and said firmly: "Luo Xue, don't worry, I will find out. I will definitely find out who wrote this letter and make him pay for his actions!"

His embrace was warm and powerful, as if it could dispel all the fear and anxiety in my heart. I raised my head, looked into his determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart.

"Yuxuan, do you think...what's written in this letter is true?" I couldn't help but ask the question in my heart. Although this question scared me, I was more afraid of being kept in the dark and being deceived.

Zhong Yuxuan did not answer my question directly. Instead, he stroked my hair gently and said softly, "Luo Xue, no matter who you are, you are the one I love, and this will never change. As for this letter, I believe that someone is just maliciously slandering us and wants to destroy our relationship."

"But what if what the letter says is true?" My tears flowed uncontrollably, "If I am not my parents' biological child, then who am I? Where are my biological parents? Why did they abandon me?"

"Luo Xue, don't let your imagination run wild." Qin Xue wiped my tears distressedly, "Let's calm down first, think about it carefully, and see if we can find any clues."

"Yes, let's find out together." Zhong Yuxuan also agreed, "I believe that the truth will eventually come out."

In the next few days, we started to investigate the matter. Zhong Yuxuan used his connections to get information everywhere, while Qin Xue accompanied me and searched through all the relics left by my parents, hoping to find some clues.

However, things did not go smoothly. We searched for a long time but did not find any valuable clues. My parents' past was like a fog, which was hard to see and understand.

Just when we were about to give up, an unexpected discovery gave us hope again...

I looked through all the things my parents left behind, and apart from a few yellowed old photos and some simple furniture, I could hardly find any information about their past. In those photos, my parents were always smiling, and their happy looks hurt my eyes. If what was said in the letter was true, then why did they abandon me?

"Don't lose heart, Luo Xue, we will find out the truth." Zhong Yuxuan held my hand and gave me strength. He has been running around for me these days. I can feel his tiredness, but he still persisted.

"Yeah." I nodded and tried to force a smile. I couldn't let him worry.

Just when we were at a loss, Zhong Yuxuan brought a message: "I found the doctor who delivered your parents, but he has retired and moved away. I asked someone to find his address. We will go there tomorrow."

The next morning, we drove to the doctor's residence. Along the way, I felt both excited and nervous, as if the mystery would be solved soon, but I was also afraid to face the cruel reality.

However, when we arrived at our destination, we were told that the old doctor had passed away and his family no longer lived here. My hopes were dashed again, and I felt deeply powerless. Was my life destined to remain a mystery?

"Don't be sad, Luo Xue, we still have other clues." Zhong Yuxuan hugged me in his arms, patted my back gently and comforted me.

I know he was trying to comfort me, but now that the clues are gone, where can we find the truth?

After returning home, I locked myself in my room and looked at my parents' photos over and over again, hoping to find some clues. However, apart from their voices and smiles, I could not find anything, as if their lives had been erased from the moment I was adopted.

"Luo Xue, don't think about it, come out and eat first." Qin Xue's voice came from outside the door. She has been with me these days, helping me analyze clues and comforting my emotions. I really don't know how to thank her.

"Coming." I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked out of the room.

At the dinner table, Qin Xue said to me excitedly: "Luo Xue, I found some information about your parents on the Internet!"

My heart was shocked. Could there really be a clue? I quickly asked, "Really? Tell me now!"

Qin Xue handed me the phone and pointed to the words on the screen and said, "Look, it says here that your parents worked in a textile factory, and your father was a technical backbone of the factory."

I looked at the information on the screen carefully, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, but is this information really reliable?

"Where did you find this information? Is it authentic?" I asked impatiently.

Qin Xue said with some embarrassment: "It was a post on a forum. The poster claimed to be an employee of the textile factory back then, but I haven't had time to verify it yet."

My heart sank again. It is hard to tell the truth from false information on the Internet, especially when it happened so long ago.

Just as I was lost in thought, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this Miss Li Luoxue?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" I asked puzzledly.

"I am... I am your father!" The other party's voice was trembling a little, and seemed to carry a hint of excitement and guilt.

My head buzzed and the phone almost slipped out of my hand. Was it really my father? But how did he know my phone number?

I froze in my tracks, and the phone almost slipped from my hand. Was it really my father? But how did he know my phone number?

"You... are really my father?" My voice trembled, and my heart was filled with disbelief and anticipation.

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, followed by a heavy sigh: "Luo Xue, Dad is sorry for you, back then..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a noisy voice and then the phone was hung up. I called again, but the other party was told that the phone was turned off.

I stood there in a daze, feeling confused. The call came so suddenly and so strangely that I couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

"What's wrong, Luo Xue?" Qin Xue asked hurriedly when she saw that I looked pale.

I told her what happened just now. After listening to it, Qin Xue frowned and said, "This is too weird. Could it be someone deliberately playing a prank on me?"

I shook my head, my heart full of doubts. If this was a prank, it was too much, and the other party even said my name accurately, which was too coincidental.

Just then, Zhong Yuxuan pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing my distraught look, he immediately asked nervously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

I told him what happened, and Zhong Yuxuan's face became serious after listening to it. He immediately called his assistant and asked him to investigate the source of the number just now.

Soon, the assistant replied that the number was a virtual number and the real identity could not be traced.

"It seems that someone must be behind this." Zhong Yuxuan's tone was cold and angry. He would never allow anyone to hurt me, even by such despicable means.

In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan sent more people to secretly investigate the matter, but he never found any valuable clues. The man who claimed to be my father seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and never appeared again.

Although the scam was exposed, the doubts in my heart were not completely eliminated. Why did that man pretend to be my father? What was his purpose? All of this was like an unsolvable mystery that troubled me.

I decided not to wait passively anymore, I would take the initiative to find the truth. I started to sort out all the information related to my parents, even a photo or a note, I would not let it go.

During my repeated searches, I accidentally found an old photo. In the photo, I saw an ancient building with the words "Salesery" vaguely visible on the wall.

My heart trembled suddenly. Could it be that the mystery of my life is hidden in this orphanage?
