[Attached Image: Physical Exam Report]
Except for Song Qiuyu, this message appeared on everyone’s phone screens.
In that instant, most of the Jiang family members felt that these words were incredibly alien.
Their brains, already dizzy from the massive amount of information they had processed today, began to turn sluggishly.
They slowly processed it, slowly realized, slowly felt the weight of it, and then slowly processed it again.
Silence.
A long, heavy silence.
Song Qiuyu had no idea what had happened, but the sudden, deathly atmosphere gave her an instinctive, bad premonition.
“…”
Xie Zhuran sucked in a cold breath, his back already drenched in sweat.
‘Holy crap, this generation of netizens is so malicious!’
It was one thing to talk nonsense in the Short Video Comment Section about the relationship between Old Song and Jiang Xiao, or to joke about Old Song being a girl!
But now, someone had even doxxed her phone number, claimed two people who had absolutely nothing to do with each other were the same person, and even forged a physical exam report!
They even claimed Old Song suffered from a rare Gender Transformation disease!
However, seeing Song Qiuyu’s bewildered expression, he became confused as well.
“Old Song, did you not receive the message?” Xie Zhuran asked, looking at Song Qiuyu in surprise.
“Hmm? What message?”
Song Qiuyu was stunned.
Seeing this, Xie Zhuran was also taken aback.
“So, Old Xie, you received it too?” Jiang Xiao closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
As he spoke, he turned his phone screen toward Song Qiuyu, who was sitting beside him.
Song Qiuyu clenched her hands, not daring to take a single breath. She was almost afraid to look.
Their reactions were wrong.
And based on the meaning behind Jiang Xiao’s words…
She had a terrifying feeling.
‘Could it be?’
‘Everyone present received the message, and it was the same one?’
‘Only I didn’t?’
‘What kind of message could it be?’
She bit her lip and finally gathered her courage. Tilting her head, she looked at the screen Jiang Xiao held out.
With just one glance, she felt like she was about to suffocate.
In the face of this sudden event, her instinct to avoid risk and her desire to escape expanded and spread through her mind in an instant.
The heart in her chest beat violently, and her ears began to buzz. Her entire being seemed to turn into a piece of colorless stone, no longer able to sense any movement from the outside world.
She suddenly wanted to turn into the cream inside a sandwich, squeezing herself in to hide completely.
‘How could this happen? I was originally planning to face these things properly during the summer vacation…’
‘Who is it? Who could it be? Who on earth is this Baseball Bat hero?’
She stared at that physical exam report with hollow eyes.
There was no doubt about it. This was the report the hospital doctor had filled out when her father took her for a check-up earlier.
Very few people should have seen this report.
Theoretically, even fewer people should have been able to access it.
But now…
“People nowadays are truly too wicked,” Jiang Li’s clear voice suddenly rang out.
Song Qiuyu was startled, and her thoughts slowly drifted back from her panic.
“AI technology is so advanced now. What kind of image can’t be photoshopped? They think they can fool people like this?” Jiang Li snorted coldly.
“That’s true.” Jiang Yingxue nodded. Not long ago, news had broken about someone using AI to create a very realistic photo and a sweet young girl’s voice to commit online fraud.
Back when Jiang Xiao was scammed by Shen Xi, AI wasn’t this advanced.
Even so, that didn’t prove the photos Shen Xi sent were of her.
After all, if someone could use photos from the internet, why would they take selfies? Did they have some special fetish for exposure?
“Little darling, did you not receive it?” Su Luo asked tentatively and cautiously.
“No,” Song Qiuyu said, shaking her head.
“Regardless of whether this is true or false for the moment…” The crease between Jiang Rongxuan’s brows deepened again.
“We should call the police first. The fact that so many people received this message at the same time is a serious matter.”
“It’s fine, I’ve already reported it!” Song Zhao Ye said immediately.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Song Zhao Ye with shocked expressions.
‘Wait. Is your speed for real?’
Even Song Qiuyu had to admire her father’s reaction speed. In her heart, she gave him a massive thumbs-up.
She hoped this matter could be handled quickly. She was afraid the other party wouldn’t stop at just sending messages to people she knew and would move on to something even bigger.
They might even try to send her to the top of the trending topics on Weibo in one go.
She did want to be famous, but she only wanted to be famous for her abilities. She didn’t want the whole world to know her name this way.
Furthermore, once too many people knew, some things truly couldn’t be hidden anymore.
“The moment I saw that message and realized everyone in this room had received it, I understood the situation. So, I reported it immediately,” Song Zhao Ye sighed.
He turned his head to look at his daughter with heartache and self-reproach. “Such a good child… how did she get targeted by such a wicked person?”
“But I didn’t see you make a call. How did you contact them?” Mother Su said sharply, noticing the way Su Luo looked at Song Zhao Ye with admiration and affection.
“Because,” Song Zhao Ye explained, “I have a friend I know over there, so I contacted them directly.”
Mother Su was stunned.
Father Su frowned and let out a disdainful chuckle, not taking it seriously at all.
“There should be results soon.” Song Zhao Ye patted his daughter’s shoulder.
“Okay.”
Song Qiuyu was still a bit shaken, but she could only force herself to nod calmly.
“Well, if someone dares to do something like this, doesn’t it prove that you really are famous?” Jiang Yingxue looked back and forth at the physical exam report.
“My sister, my brother-in-law, and I have all seen the short videos you guys made. They’re quite good. When there’s a chance, I’ll consider recommending you to the company and getting a collaboration contract for you.”
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu was slightly taken-at-back and clenched her hands guiltily.
The Jiang family really trusted her.
“Child, don’t be too nervous.”
Jiang Xiao and Jiang Li’s grandfather gripped his cane and tapped the floor, looking at the person who was clearly uneasy.
“Although we do have many prejudices against that person named Shen Xi, it’s impossible for us to believe this nonsensical message. This sender doesn’t even dare to show their face; they only dare to hide in the shadows and pull small tricks. It’s clear they aren’t anyone good.”
The kind-looking Grandmother Jiang beside him also followed with a smile.
This incident happened too coincidentally. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like someone was doing it on purpose.
Besides, Shen Xi and this Song Qiuyu seemed like two completely different people. How could anyone link them together?
She had never met Shen Xi; she had only seen how her grandson loved Shen Xi so much that he almost ruined his own life.
But based on a woman’s intuition, that Shen Xi — she was definitely a seductive vixen who knew how to act coy!
She had actually trained the good child they had painstakingly raised into a dog who only had women on his mind!
If she ever met Shen Xi, she would take her cane and break the girl’s legs!
Thinking of this, Grandmother Jiang looked at Song Qiuyu again. The more she looked, the more pleasing to the eye the child became. She even started to hope that half of the message was true.
Under Grandmother Jiang’s affirming gaze, Song Qiuyu’s ears began to burn. Her heart rate continued to accelerate, and her entire body felt uncomfortable.
She could more or less guess what Jiang Xiao’s grandmother was thinking. It had to be — ‘This child is really good; it would be great if he were a girl.’
The Jiang family’s acceptance of her was like the overflowing aroma of wine, making her feel a bit drunk and ethereal.
Her heart leaped uncontrollably because of it, yet she became even more terrified.
Because…
Song Qiuyu was Shen Xi…
“Big Brother, eat an orange!” At that moment, Jiang Yu walked out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of washed oranges.
Song Qiuyu looked up.
Only then did she remember that after they entered the house, Jiang Yu had consciously taken a dozen or so oranges and run into the kitchen to wash them by himself.
While everyone else was arguing and having conflicts, he had been washing oranges the whole time.
Of course.
Jiang Yu’s conscientiousness might not have been entirely sincere. For instance, it might have been a task Jiang Xiao gave him in advance.
However, regardless of whether it was his brother’s task or not, Song Qiuyu looked at the cute little boy holding the oranges and couldn’t help but be moved.
She suddenly felt that her current behavior was just another form of deception.
Even though the Jiang family trusted her so much.
“Thanks!” She picked up an orange. Her originally burning body temperature was briefly neutralized by the cold orange peel and the cool water.
Her tense brain seemed to find a moment of relief.
Then, she used her free hand to rub Jiang Yu’s head.
“Big Brother, don’t rub my head! Rubbing it will stop me from growing tall!” Jiang Yu protested.
“Is that so? Then I’m truly sorry.” Song Qiuyu withdrew her hand.
“I need to grow tall. Only after I grow tall can I find a wife,” Jiang Yu muttered, sensibly carrying the oranges to everyone one by one.
Jiang Xiao turned his face and looked at his younger sister thoughtfully, remembering what she had said to him.
He could pursue Song Qiuyu without worry because there was still Jiang Yu to carry on the family incense lineage.
He had no doubt that his sister had been instilling some inappropriate thoughts into Jiang Yu, who was only in the seventh grade.
Otherwise, why would a seventh-grader already be thinking about a wife?
Jiang Li calmly peeled an orange.
That’s right, she was the one who did it.
Since her brother had settled on Autumn Rain Bro, then for Jiang Yu’s side, she naturally had to start training him from a young age!
It wasn’t just Jiang Li thinking this way.
The Jiang family’s long-standing policy of discouraging early dating was also beginning to waver.
After all, it was highly likely that Jiang Xiao would never turn back.
They couldn’t bring themselves to return kindness with ingratitude or break the couple apart, and they couldn’t bear to see Jiang Xiao in that pathetic state he was in after his heartbreak again.
Truly, seeing it once made them want to hit him, but they feared that the more they hit him, the bigger Jiang Xiao’s problems would become.
Fortunately, Song Qiuyu was a good child. The only drawback was that he probably couldn’t have children.
However, even if they couldn’t have biological children, they could probably adopt later…
Oh, right, they still couldn’t skip the wedding…
The Jiang family was already thinking further and further ahead, nearly planning out the rest of Jiang Xiao and Song Qiuyu’s lives.
Even if this relationship between the two children transcended social norms and was destined not to be accepted by the public, they would always be the backing for these two!
But even after convincing themselves, there were still a few people in the Jiang family who couldn’t quite accept it.
Jiang Xiao’s parents and his grandparents were those four.
Song Qiuyu was a great child, and Jiang Xiao should treat him well, but did Jiang Xiao really have to marry Song Qiuyu?
If possible, they still wanted to try and get Jiang Xiao to marry a girl.
As for Song Qiuyu.
They naturally wouldn’t mistreat him.
But the Su family, who had arrived not long ago, was different. They were still unaware of the situation between Jiang Xiao and Song Qiuyu, and they knew very little about the Shen Xi matter.
As they listened and watched, they found themselves unable to join the conversation. In the end, their attention returned to the diagnosis column of the physical exam report.
Gender Transformation.
Two simple words, put together, were like the thinnest and sharpest needles, stabbing into their eyes.
They suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be? Was Su Luo… sick?
The former mother, the former father, and the current younger brother — three suspicious gazes soon fell upon Su Luo.
Su Luo, however, seemed completely oblivious to this as she peeled an orange and chatted with Song Zhao Ye.
This child who had been lost for years had already built her own family over the past decade or so. A family of three with a husband and a child.
Even if there was still a blood connection between them, they seemed more like true strangers.
Mother Su looked at the physical exam report again.
She hoped it was true.
And she hoped it wasn’t.
She was conflicted.
Right then, Song Qiuyu squeezed the orange in her hand and took a deep breath. With a sense of resolve, she stood up from the sofa.
