"Okay" and hung up the phone. Ruan Yin was slightly absent-minded. Xi Xuanyao came in and saw her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Yin told Xi Xuanyao that Ryan was admitted to the School of Medicine at National Tsing Hua University. She looked happy for him and asked Xi Xuanyao when he would have time to go home and celebrate together, saying that they were always grateful to Xi Xuanyao.

Xi Xuanyao took her hand and said, "I can go back anytime for dinner. What I want to ask is, do you want to go?"

Ruan Yin put her arms around his waist and said in a muffled voice, "I don't know how to face her. Last time, she told me that she wanted to go back to the hospital in Yecheng to inquire about the situation and see if she could retrieve the surveillance footage from that year. I didn't dare to ask for the result, but I would feel uncomfortable seeing her again. She should really want to find her biological daughter, right?"

"What about you? Do you want to know who your biological parents are?" Xi Xuanyao asked, touching the back of her head.

Ruan Yin's eyes flashed with confusion, she didn't know what her biological parents were like, but a family that loved their daughter would most likely not take the wrong child away, just as she had someone look after the child after giving birth.

The unknown made her feel a little panicky. What if her biological parents were people like her stepfather or Hu Chun? She told Xi Xuanyao all her worries.

Xi Xuanyao understood that it was not that she didn't want to, but that she was afraid to face the unknown people and things. He held Ruan Yin's shoulders and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid. No matter how bad it is, I will be with you. We will face it together."

"Okay, then we'll go back tomorrow night," Ruan Yin said with determination. Just as she finished her words, Xi Yuanshu's screams were heard from below. The two of them looked down, smiled, and each of them hugged one and played with them for a while. The whole family was having a great time.

The next night, Ruan Yin and Xi Xuanyao went to Song Lan's place right after work. As soon as they entered the room, they saw a tanned face. Ruan Yin almost didn't recognize that it was Feng Ruian, and blurted out, "Why is he so tanned?"

Feng Ruian touched his head, looking a little embarrassed, "Are you okay? It's okay to be a little darker." He didn't think he was obviously tanned every day. On the contrary, Ruan Yin hadn't been back for more than half a month. When she first saw Feng Ruian who was so tanned, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After watching it for a long time, I got used to it. After all, I felt sorry for my younger brother and couldn't help but say, "Last time you promised to do it for a month. Didn't you forget it?"

Feng Ruian smiled awkwardly twice and said nothing. The situation was different now. Even though he regarded her as a sister, he could not accept her gift without changing his expression.

He turned around and poured a glass of water for the two of them, then sat down and said to Ruan Yin, "Sister, to study medicine you need to get at least a master's degree, and maybe a doctorate. I want to make more money while I have free time now. When I go to school, I may not have much time to work part-time."

"Then you can come to my shop to help. I'm too busy right now." Ruan Yin probably guessed what he was thinking. Providing him with a job would be easier for him to accept than giving him money directly.

Seeing his hesitation, Ruan Yin put on a straight face and deliberately asked, "Do you also think that we are not siblings because we are not related by blood?"

Feng Ruian quickly shook his head, "Of course not, I can go there too." He made up his mind that if the business in the store was not very good, he would post more advertisements in the classmates group and the takeaway group.

Xi Xuanyao was observing the confrontation between the siblings from the side. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Ruan Yin turned her head and blinked at him when she heard Feng Ruian agreed to work in the store.

Seeing his sister smile, Feng Ruian took the opportunity to ask, "Sister, why don't you bring my nephews over?"

"When I came out, they had just fallen asleep, so I didn't bring them here. If you want to see them, you can come to Xingyue Bay to see me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Lan raised her voice and said, "An An, serve the food and eat."

"I'm coming," Feng Ruian turned around and replied, then stood up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Ruan Yin also helped to get the dishes and chopsticks. Only Xi Xuanyao was fidgeting, and asked Ruan Yin from time to time: "Do you need my help with anything?"

Seeing him like this, Ruan Yin immediately said, "Then please help me get chopsticks and a soup spoon from the sterilizer."

After a while, the delicious dishes were served on the table. Feng Ruian raised his glass to Xi Xuanyao, "Brother-in-law, I toast you and thank you for your help!" He drank the Coke in the glass. There was no wine at home, and because of Feng Sheng, he particularly disliked drinking.

"No need to thank me, we're family. This is what I should do." Xi Xuanyao's cup contained boiled water. He didn't like drinking beverages.

Song Lan also raised her glass to Xi Xuanyao, "Daughter...Mr. Xi, Yinyin, thank you for your help to Ruian." She almost said the word son-in-law, but changed her words abruptly because she was afraid that Xi Xuanyao would be unhappy.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird, Feng Ruian quickly said: "It smells so good, let's eat, sister, your favorite chicken wings." He picked up a chicken wing and put it into Ruan Yin's bowl.

Xi Xuanyao picked up some loofah and clams for her. Ruan Yin ate them one by one and praised them with narrowed eyes: "Delicious!"

Song Lan's eyes instantly turned red. Since the last phone call, Yin Yin never came back. She returned to Yecheng not only for herself, but also for Yin Yin. She wanted to help Yin Yin find her biological parents. She lowered her head to hide her tears and shoveled rice into her mouth. Feng Ruian silently put some dishes into her bowl.

The meal went quite harmoniously. After dinner, several people sat in the living room. Xi Xuanyao took the initiative to ask, "Mom, I heard that you went back to Yecheng to check the surveillance. Did you get it?"

Ruan Yin lowered her eyelids, making it impossible to see her expression. Her hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves, and her palms were sweaty. Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out and held her palms. She smiled at Xi Xuanyao and heard Song Lan say, "No, it was too long ago. The surveillance data has long been overwritten. I also asked in the hospital, and no one saw how the child was taken away by mistake."

Song Lan was in a depressed mood. She did not help Yin Yin find out her background, and she did not know how her daughter was doing. She even went to find Hu Chun for this, hoping to get clues from her. Unfortunately, Hu Chun did not know about it. In her words, if she knew that Ruan Yin was not her biological daughter, she would not have gone to Yuncheng, and would not have been deceived.

She now waits downstairs of the community where her daughter-in-law lives every day, holding a loudspeaker and crying everywhere that her daughter-in-law and her son had swindled her pension money to buy a house. Ruan Gang's wife couldn't face the pointing and criticizing of the neighbors around her, so she finally let her move in. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a big fight every few days.

Ruan Yin breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little lost. Xi Xuanyao noticed her loss and secretly decided to help her find her parents. No matter whether it was good or not, she would only know after she found them. Maybe the result would be good?

Before leaving, Feng Ruian handed the small clothes knitted by Song Lan to Ruan Yin and said, "This is the sweater that Mom knitted for Zhao Zhao and Shu Shu. I saw that she had knitted it but never gave it to them, so I always took it out secretly to look at it."

Song Lan was a little embarrassed. "My weaving is rather rough, and I'm afraid it won't be useful, so..."

"Thank you, Mom." The sweater was knitted with a smooth texture and was very soft to the touch. One could tell at a glance that the knitter had put a lot of care into it. Ruan Yin said this sincerely.

Hearing the word "Mom", Song Lan's eyes turned red and she choked up, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that things turned out like this." If she hadn't run away from the hospital that day, Ruan Yin wouldn't have been taken away by mistake, and she wouldn't have lost her own daughter.
