Chapter 204: 078: True Colors!_5

After finishing her sentence, Lin Guimei seemed to remember something, then continued, "Right, since Big Sister is not from our family, who are her birth parents?"

Lin Guimei only wanted Lin Guixiang to leave Qing City as soon as possible.

And never come back!

So as to save herself from embarrassment.

At this thought, Lin Guimei suddenly remembered the Old Li Family at the east end of the village, where it was no secret that they favored boys over girls and had abandoned several children!

What’s more, Old Li’s wife was mentally challenged, and therefore, all their children were rather slow, with a son who was already thirty-five or thirty-six and still unable to find a wife.

Given Lin Guixiang’s intelligence, she was most likely one of the children that the Old Li Family didn’t want.

And so were her parents!

Why were they always willing to take in any abandoned baby with an unknown background?

They might not be ashamed, but she certainly was.

Zhao Cuinong shook her head, "I don’t know about that."

Don’t know?

That sounded about right, though.

The Old Li Family definitely wouldn’t make such things public, but their deceased parents surely knew the full story.

With that, Zhao Cuinong continued, "Regardless, she’s still our Big Sister."

"Mhm." Lin Guimei nodded, "Cuinong, you’re right to say that she’s always Big Sister, no matter what. However, if someone comes to claim Big Sister, I would advise her that it would be best to acknowledge her ancestry and return to her roots. After all, everyone is made of flesh and blood! If they hadn’t been in a difficult situation, what parents would want to abandon their own child?"

She was eager for Lin Guixiang to be claimed by the Old Li Family right away.

Once that happened, she’d have nothing to do with Lin Guixiang!

"It’s not necessarily that she was abandoned; perhaps she was a kidnapped child! Let’s see how things turn out. If Big Sister was abandoned, then there’s no need to acknowledge her birth parents. But if Big Sister was kidnapped, she must certainly recognize her birth parents."

People who abandon their children have no right to call themselves parents.

But it’s different with kidnapping!

Hearing this, Lin Guimei snorted coldly in her heart.

Kidnapped?

With the kind of intelligence Lin Guixiang had, who would kidnap her?

Besides!

If Lin Guixiang really had been a kidnapped child, someone surely would have come looking for her over all these years!

But nobody has ever come looking for Lin Guixiang until now.

This more or less confirms that Lin Guixiang must be from the Old Li Family!

Lin Guimei didn’t feel like wasting her breath with Zhao Cuinong anymore, "I’m going to get ready and then take the birthday gift to Big Sister."

With that, she turned and left.

Watching Lin Guimei’s receding figure, Zhao Cuinong furrowed her brows, barely perceptibly.

Hadn’t she just said she was going directly to her home?

Why did she need to go back now?

What exactly was she plotting with her inscrutable intent?

Soon, Lin Guimei returned home.

She took a beautifully wrapped box out of her bag.

This was the birthday gift Lin Guimei had prepared for her sister, a silver necklace worth a thousand yuan.

Although the silver necklace was not particularly expensive, it was considered a luxury for someone from the countryside like Lin Guixiang who had never been exposed to fine things.

Let alone a silver necklace.

She had never even worn an iron one.

However...

After learning about Lin Guixiang’s origins, Lin Guimei had already decided not to give the necklace.

After all, Lin Guixiang was not her real older sister, there was no blood relation between them, and whatever Lin Guixiang had done to raise her and put her through university was only to be expected.

After all, it was her parents who gave Lin Guixiang a chance at life.

If not for her parents, Lin Guixiang might well be dead by now!

So it was her duty to do these things.

With this in mind, Lin Guimei took the necklace out of the box and placed a pair of pearl earrings, which were a free gift, inside.

Given Lin Guixiang’s current status, it was fitting to give her just the free gift.

After repacking the gift, Lin Guimei walked out the door.

Sun Shanshan, having just finished practicing piano, came out from the study and saw Lin Guimei heading out so late and asked curiously, "Mom, where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Guimei turned around smiling, "Today is your aunt’s birthday, I’m going to take her a birthday gift."

Aunt?

Hearing this title, Sun Shanshan’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

She disliked Lin Guixiang.

Especially after finding out that Lin Guixiang was illiterate.

Having such an aunt was an insult to her.

Sun Shanshan also disliked her mother associating with those people.

After a moment, Sun Shanshan continued, "Mom, did you know Lin Wu is dating?"

Before Lin Guimei could respond, Mother Sun appeared out of nowhere, looking shocked, "Really? Is that true?"

Sun Shanshan nodded, "It’s true; I saw with my own eyes her boyfriend driving her back!"

Driving her back?
