Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 634 - 636 Turns Out Not to Be Biological

"Thank you. Thank you for raising the child," Fang Yue said with great emotion.

Ji Ying sent Xu Nianji to fetch Nianhua’s photos. When Nianhua was ten years old, she had one photo taken. Later, when the family’s conditions improved, Pei Yining took quite a few photos of Xu Nianhua, including ones of her at Beining University.

"We were poor before and didn’t leave Nianhua with many photos," Ji Ying explained, still able to recall after all these years just how adorable her daughter was as a child.

"This, is this Nianhua?" Fang Yue looked at the photo of a radiant Xu Nianhua and felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity.

She was looking at Xu Nianhua’s photo at the entrance of Beining University. In the photo, she was brimming with youth, her big eyes shining and spirited.

Even as a woman, Fang Yue could sense that Xu Nianhua was very beautiful, even more so than Gu Mingzhu, whom she had always treasured since childhood.

Gu Mingzhu was the kind that stood out brightly, but Xu Nianhua was stunningly beautiful.

Fang Yue examined the photo incredulously, searching for similarities between them. The red-faced, monkey-like little baby from back then had grown up so beautiful?

"Right, that’s my son next to her, Xu Nian’an," Ji Ying said, seeing Fang Yue’s shocked expression. With the compassion only a parent could know, she added, "Nianhua is still studying in Ningbei. Her grades are especially good; she always comes first in exams."

Pride laced Ji Ying’s words.

After all, this was the daughter she had raised from a young age.

"Impressive," Jiang Jing praised from the side.

Gu Hai’s eyes also shone with a hint of pride. This was his seed, this was his child.

Lunch was had at Xu Qinghe’s home.

After lunch, the Gu Family suggested they wanted to reclaim Xu Nianhua.

Xu Qinghe said, "I know it’s not easy for you to find your child. But Nianhua is still studying. Whether to recognize or not, it’s up to Nianhua to decide."

"That’s okay, we can go to Ningbei to find her," Gu Hai insisted, set on the idea. Such an outstanding daughter must certainly be reclaimed.

"Then..." Xu Qinghe fell silent for a moment before saying, "We’ll go together."

"Fine, I have some matters to attend to in South City. Let’s head to Ningbei together in three days," Gu Hai said, then took his leave.

Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying wanted to return the gifts, but Gu Hai insisted, "This is our heartfelt gratitude. After so many years, to see our child grow up safely, we are very happy. These are just material things, not worth much money."

Gu Hai was sincere, and despite Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying’s attempts to give back the presents, Gu Hai and his companions wouldn’t accept them. Their car soon disappeared into the village.

Xu Qinghe and his family were left holding the gifts as they departed.

"Uncle, what were they here for?" Xu Song asked, approaching only once they had left.

It wasn’t just Xu Song who was curious; many of the village youths who had just started working in the factory, and others like Hu Aihong looking for entertainment and gossip, were all gathered around the Xu household.

"They..." Xu Qinghe didn’t want to reveal Nianhua’s origin, but with the visitors coming to their door, it was only a matter of time before everyone would find out. Better they tell everyone directly than to have the story twisted in retellings.

Thus, Xu Qinghe cleared his throat and told Xu Song, "They came to recognize a relative. Nianhua is not our biological daughter."

The words shocked Xu Song, leaving him stunned.

The villagers gathered to watch the spectacle were also startled. Xu Nianhua had always been the apple of Xu Qinghe and his wife’s eye, pampered and protected as no other in the village. Who could have imagined that she wasn’t their own flesh and blood?
