Chapter 27: The Real and Fake Heiresses!

- "Huh? This is a textbook case of a rebellious teenager..."
- "Correction for the user above, this isn't a rebellious teenager, but a rebellious young adult. She's over twenty, not a child anymore."
- "It's probably for the best that this kid went missing; it saves them the headache..."
- "If my child grew up to be like that, I’d be so angry I’d have a heart attack."
- "Everyone, please be a bit more compassionate. Their daughter is missing; why say such things?"

Clearly, the couple in the live stream also saw the netizens' comments.

"Our daughter does have many shortcomings, but she is our daughter after all. She didn't grow up to be an outstanding person, and we as parents share the responsibility. Right now, we just want to find her."

Jiang Muyu nodded: "Understandable, quite understandable."

But then, Jiang Muyu shifted the tone and asked: "Have you two ever considered that, in fact, your daughter is not your daughter?"

Jiang Muqing: ???

"What?" The couple on the other end were stunned, then gave a bitter smile: "Master, please, don't joke around."

"That's right. If you can't calculate it, that's fine. We're used to it, but please don't say things like that."

They came here to find their daughter. If they could get information about her, that would be great. If they couldn't, they would be disappointed for a while and then continue searching for other clues. But to be told their own daughter wasn't their daughter—that was simply too ridiculous.

Jiang Muyu held up an index finger and shook it: "Don't be impatient. Listen to me first."

The couple watched her, wanting to see what else Jiang Muyu could come up with.

"Twenty-three years ago, you went to W City for a business trip. You hadn't reached your due date yet, so you didn't think much of it. Who would have guessed you'd get into a car accident halfway there? You were shocked, and the baby was born prematurely. Since your husband couldn't arrive in time, the hospital found a caregiver for you, right?"

The woman nodded: "That is true, but how did you know? Only our close relatives knew about these things."

Jiang Muyu didn't answer her question and continued: "Because of the premature birth, you both spoiled your daughter immensely. From childhood to adulthood, you gave her the best. Although there was a lack of companionship, you never lacked in material things, which is why she grew up to be so headstrong and willful."

"...Yes."

These were facts; there was no need for them to deny it.

Jiang Muyu nodded: "Then that's it. Your biological daughter was switched at birth. Your current 'daughter' is in W City. As for the body the police found earlier, it was the child of the relative of the caregiver who looked after you."

- "Wait, what? A real and a fake heiress?"
- "Wow! Is this for real? Did I actually witness this?"
- "No way, right? Can't you recognize your own biological daughter?"
- "If that's the case, then the body found earlier really wasn't their daughter."
- "What century are we in? How could such a thing happen? I can't believe it."

The couple looked at each other, both seeing expressions of disbelief in the other's eyes. Their daughter had been missing for so long, and now the master in the live stream was saying their daughter wasn't their daughter, and that she had been switched at birth?

"Master, how do you know these things... How is it possible? It's impossible..."

The two clearly didn't believe it; it was too hard for them to accept.

Jiang Muyu had expected this result: "You two probably haven't checked the child's blood type, have you? And would a premature baby really be that energetic? I'll recommend the police's contact information to you later. Get a DNA test, and you'll know if what I'm saying is true or false."

The couple hung their heads, and everything previously ignored slowly surfaced in their minds.

That was true. Their daughter was a premature baby, but she had been healthier and more energetic than the other children in the ward. Over the years, their daughter never let them see the results of her physical examinations. Every time they brought up family activities, she would deliberately avoid them, throw a tantrum, and then the matter would just be dropped...

"Yes, this girl has known for a long time that she isn't your biological child. All that so-called rebellion was a deliberate attempt to distance herself from you, out of fear that you would discover the truth."

After saying this, Jiang Muyu took a sip of water. When she heard the couple looking for their child earlier, she inevitably thought of the body at the construction site. However, both of them had a full 'children palace' in their charts, which didn't look like the signs of a child passing away prematurely. Upon calculating, Jiang Muyu realized there was something fishy. Separated from their biological child for over twenty years, and the adopted daughter they raised with such care died an unnatural death...

- "Looking at the couple's reactions, the streamer hit the nail on the head."
- "So the body was actually their daughter's, wait, no, it wasn't their daughter's. My condolences..."
- "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Uncle and Auntie, don't be sad; go find your real daughter now."
- "Damn that caregiver, what a poisonous heart!"
- "So where in W City is the real daughter? What does she look like now?"

The couple realized what was happening and hurriedly asked where their daughter was now.

Jiang Muyu gave them an address: "You should go as soon as possible."

"Okay! Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

After disconnecting, Jiang Muyu let out a breath and looked at the rapidly scrolling comments in the live stream.

"Why did the caregiver switch the children? She saw they were wealthy and had crooked thoughts, so she swapped them."

"Did the two girls know about this? The one who was swapped over knew and even secretly sent money to her biological mother. The other girl didn't know, but she'll find out soon."

- "Sob, the real daughter is so miserable..."
- "This is hateful; you must find her quickly!"
- "But the fake daughter died an unnatural death; it’s a case of evil meeting its own reward."
- "When will the person who killed the fake daughter be caught?"

Jiang Muyu found the term "real and fake heiress" quite interesting. She yawned: "Don't worry, everyone, evil will be met with evil."

Checking the time, it was almost dinner. Jiang Muyu straightened up and said: "Let's end the afternoon stream here. We'll have another session in the evening. Bye-bye, everyone~~~"

She waved with a smile until the screen of the live stream went dark. Then, she suddenly deflated and collapsed onto the chair, as if all her energy had been drained.

Jiang Muqing was startled and quickly turned his wheelchair over.

"Jiang Muyu, are you okay?"

Seeing her pale lips, Jiang Muqing hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Hu! Uncle Hu!"

He reached out to check her breath, but his hand was grabbed halfway.

"Relax, I'm not dead."

Jiang Muqing quickly retracted his hand, displeased: "Then why are you acting like this?"

Jiang Muyu lifted her eyelids and spat out a few words weakly: "Hungry... I'm about to faint from hunger..."
