Jiang's father was expected to be easy to talk to, and he also played the warmth card as expected.
In fact, these words sounded quite ridiculous to Shen Tingci.
Back then, when she was not yet an adult, she would not have believed the Jiang family's story, not to mention that she had been struggling in the entertainment industry for seven years. Now, let alone trying to coax her, Shen Tingci felt that these words were meant as a joke. Old fashioned.
However, she still made a cup of tea and handed it to Father Jiang.
Jiang's father didn't want to break up with her, so she was willing to do the superficial thing.
When the strong tea enters your mouth, the bitter tea fragrance fills your entire lips and teeth.
Shen Tingci listened to Jiang's father for a long time, but when she saw that he was still unwilling to get to the point, she took the initiative to cue the matter.
"My mother went back yesterday. My father must have listened to what my mother said."
In fact, as soon as today came, Jiang's father could clearly feel that Shen Tingci's attitude towards them had changed significantly. Although this change was not very obvious, it was really far from the past.
But what he didn't expect was that Shen Tingci would take the initiative to mention this matter.
"Ci Ci, do you know what you are talking about?" Jiang's father did not get angry, but asked very gently.
And this kind of gentleness was something she had never seen before.
"I thought my father and mother would be different." Shen Tingci did not answer him directly.
Hearing Shen Tingci's words, Jiang's father smiled again: "It seems that you have not been doing well in the past few years in the entertainment industry, but Cici, if you feel that the entertainment industry is not difficult to stay in, you can go home. , your mother and I will take care of you."
"Take my money and support me?"
It was only then that the smile on Jiang's father's face faded slightly: "As a family, if we don't speak the same language, your money is just our money."
"It's hard for father to say this." Shen Tingci really didn't want to pretend to be a coward with him, so she said bluntly, "Is there any dissatisfaction with father about the conditions I made yesterday?"
"I don't have any dissatisfaction, I just feel that our family should not be in such trouble."
"Family?" Shen Tingci raised her eyes thoughtfully and looked at Jiang's father with a smile on her face, "Is father kidding me?"
"Corcelain."
"How can you and I be a family?" Shen Tingci pursed her lips in a self-deprecating smile, "Father, do you think I'm really easy to deceive?"
Some words no longer need to be said clearly, the facts are already presented before her eyes. Even though Shen Tingci does not want to believe what reality has given her, this is reality.
"You...when did you know?" Jiang's father was silent for a long time, his lips moved a few more times, and then he finally spoke.
But at this moment, there was an obvious dejection in his voice, and he probably didn't even have the thought of struggling.
"A long time ago, but it must have been today. I just got the paternity test report." Shen Tingci closed her eyes and started to talk half-truths, "Although you favor boys over girls, you are still very protective of your sister. Jia, why did you completely change your appearance when you got to my place?"
"I have never been able to figure this out. It wasn't until I found out that I was not your biological child that I understood."
"You are right not to love me."
Jiang's father lowered his head and pretended to rub the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, as if he wanted to wipe away the non-existent tears at the end of his eyes: "Actually, don't blame your mother, she just can't bear it. , the daughter I have raised for eighteen years was raised by someone else, and in the end I was told that the daughter I had raised must be returned."
"Since I am not your biological child, why did you accept me back in the first place?"
Regarding Shen Tingci's question, Father Jiang fell silent again.
In fact, Shen Tingci knew very well what the Jiang family was for.
Even at the beginning, they were prepared not to want her.
In the dream, Jiang's parents were like this.
Because she had no feelings for the Jiang family and the Shen family was not willing to let her leave, she stayed in the Shen family.
But at that time, the Jiang family actually treated her very well and respectfully, for fear that she would be wronged.
But when the end came, the Jiang family also chose Jiang Yunxi.
"Who are my parents?"
"I don't know about this." Jiang's father said slowly, "Your mother and I found you in the hospital's trash can. You were just born at that time. You were a small ball and were thrown into a black plastic bag. , your mother had just suffered an unexpected miscarriage at that time, so she immediately decided to adopt you."
"But I didn't expect that you and Xixi would be hugged by the wrong person."
Probably because he was afraid that Shen Tingci wouldn't believe it, Jiang's father hurriedly said: "You also know that more than ten years ago, the medical facilities in small counties were not perfect, and technological management was not as developed as it is now. Many people would ask for help if they didn't want a child after they gave birth. It was lost somewhere. After all, there was no surveillance at that time, so it would not have been found at all."
"Also, we also have a record of your mother's miscarriage. It happened to be two days before Mrs. Shen gave birth."
By this point, Shen Tingci had actually believed most of it.
When Mrs. Shen gave birth to Jiang Yunxi, she was born prematurely.
At that time, the group had a project, and Mrs. Shen was the person in charge of the project. Because the due date had not yet arrived, Mrs. Shen took her to a county under Shanghai for a field trip. Who knew that something happened on the way, leading to premature birth.
At that time, the medical care in the county was very imperfect. Even the hospital was newly built. Many of the staff there were novices, and there was even a lack of manpower at all.
In a hurry, it seems to be common sense to mistake two babies who are weak and need to be rescued.
Probably because he was worried that Shen Tingci would not believe him, Jiang's father hurriedly said: "What I said is true. Cici, no matter whether we are your biological parents or not, when we rescued you, we really wanted to treat you as our daughter." Raised."
This is not false either.
Although Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were partial to Jiang Mu and Jiang Chen, they did treat Jiang Yunxi well. As they said, back then, they really had a kind heart and wanted to save the baby they found. Raised as one's own child.
As for Shen Tingci, she came too late, was not raised well, and is not her biological child. How could she ask the Jiang family to express their feelings for Jiang Yunxi towards her?
"If you still don't believe it, you can go investigate."
"No need." Shen Tingci rejected Jiang's father's proposal without thinking.
Premature babies are weak, and if she was really healthy, the medical staff at the time would not have mistaken her.
Besides, what's the point of investigating?
Do you want to experience being abandoned by your biological parents again?
And she has long passed the age of needing her biological parents.
"My household registration has not been transferred, and I am not your daughter. It seems that I don't need to break the relationship." Shen Tingci calmed down the turbulent emotions in her heart, looked at Jiang's father word by word, and said, " The money I have spent in these years should be regarded as the money you saved me back then, and Jiang Chen's house should be regarded as the hard-earned money in these years. From now on, I will make a clean break with you and have nothing to do with you anymore."
"Then...before that..." Jiang's father was obviously not satisfied with this house. He was also thinking about other things.
Shen Tingci looked at Jiang's father with a half-smile, not quite understanding why he was so naive.
The two of them faced off for a while, but Shen Tingci didn't take it seriously but said in a very firm voice: "Thirty thousand a month for you and your mother. It can be regarded as my filial piety to you on behalf of my sister."
