Jiang Jie had the impression that the couple was keeping something from their family. He would always be concerned about Jiang Yao's stay in Jin City if he did not solve the mystery. He was scared that it would happen again.

Lu Xhingzhi told him that it was because of Yaoyao's teacher. "That person has a request for her teacher, so they kidnapped her to intimidate her teacher."

When Jiang Jie learned that it had nothing to do with Lu Xingzhi, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Were you looking for me? Do you need something?" he asked again.

"Yes."

Lu Xingzhi bowed his head but did not speak right away. "Yaoyao is not your parent's biological child, right?" he murmured after a half-minute pause.

Lu Xingzhi's sudden words stunned Jiang Jie.

"You—"

Jiang Jie tried to deny it, but Lu Xingzhi was one step ahead of him. "Jiang Lei may not know about it, but you should, Eldest Brother."

That was the only information Lu Xingzhi had gathered from the Jiang family members' expressions. Mrs. Jiang's question to Jiang Yao regarding the likeness was intended as a small test. Jiang Jie's and Mr. Jiang's expressions at the time were reasonably intriguing. Only Jiang Lei appeared to be the same as the others; he was curious about it.

Even if the Jiang family members' expressions only lasted a few seconds, Lu Xingzhi was good at observing another person's behavior. So, he reasoned that the situation was quite close to the truth.

Perhaps it was due to Lu Xingzhi's grim expression; Jiang Jie remained silent for a few seconds before he nodded and admitted to that.

"Neither Xiao Lei nor Yaoyao is aware of this."

Jiang Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "I remembered the day my parents came home with Yaoyao. She was feverish, and my parents were concerned that she would not survive. They told me that they found and picked her up in the mountains when they heard her cries. They felt sorry for her, so they brought her home."

Lu Xingzhi's heart sank. Jiang Jie's eyes glowed with concern. "Was this your question, or was it Yaoyao's?"

"She is not aware of anything."

Lu Xingzhi shook his head to express his dissatisfaction with the situation. "But I am scared she will find out one day."

Lu Xingzhi could not conceive what would happen if Jiang Yao found out the truth. Her family was so good to her that she would never have imagined that she was adopted. She believed that she was the happiest and luckiest person on the planet.

"Keep it a secret for as long as you can," Jiang Jie said. "How did you guess? Because you saw someone who resembled Yaoyao today?"

"No, not at all. It's because of how you acted." Lu Xingzhi did not tell him about his access to the Sun family's information. He had some concerns and speculations from the minute he viewed the Sun family's information. "That is exactly what I meant. Keep it hidden. Perhaps she will not find out."

It had already been 20 years, and Jiang Yao had not discovered anything. Maybe they would be able to keep it a secret forever.

Even though he had to keep it hidden from Jiang Yao, there were still some things that Lu Xingzhi needed to investigate. He needed to know about the truth.

"Yaoyao won't know even if she sees someone who looks like her."

Jiang Jie was relieved to learn that Lu Xingzhi had discovered it for himself. "No one in the village would dare to speak nonsense. We think of her as part of our family."

"Do your parents know anything about her biological parents?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
