Identity

Ning Jia said gently, "Jiao, don't be afraid. Your father, your brother, your sister and I will protect you!"

"My original name is Meng Jiao? That's a nice name." Meng Jiao nodded.

Ning Jia stepped forward and touched Meng Jiao's head and said, "Yes, our Meng family has always had more sons than daughters. I've finally gotten my wish. Your father and I hope that you'll grow up to be a charming little princess."

Meng Jiao looked at Meng Yao in confusion and asked, "Then, what about Yao?"

Ning Jia's hand paused for a moment, and Meng Yao's expression turned ugly.

Meng Tang coughed lightly and said, "Jiao, Yao is our adopted daughter. Her mother is the nanny who kidnapped you back then and swapped you with Yao.

"Your mother was not in good health at that time and was sick. We were all busy taking care of your mother and handed you to the nanny. In the end, I didn't expect the nanny to have selfish motives. She actually used her daughter to exchange for you and threw you away. This caused you to be abducted to a small mountain village and suffer for so many years."

Meng Tang's voice was filled with pain, but he told Meng Jiao the truth. As a father, he had always been very serious about doing things, just like his business style.

The Meng family had a very upright family style, and Meng Jiao was very admired for it.

In her previous life, Meng Jiao had deviated from the path her parents had planned for her step by step under Meng Yao's meticulous planning. Meng Jiao had made them more and more disappointed, resulting in isolating herself from her family.

Seeing Meng Jiao in a daze, Ning Jia hurriedly said, "Jiao, this is the nanny's fault. It has nothing to do with Yao. She was a baby just like you back then. We've been raising her all these years, so she's a member of the Meng family. You two sisters will get along well in the future, just like real sisters. Yao, you will definitely treat your sister well, right?"

Ning Jia lowered her head and asked Meng Yao.

Meng Yao quickly nodded and reached out to grab Meng Jiao's hand. Meng Yao said, "Yes, I will definitely love and protect my sister like Wei!"

Meng Jiao felt Meng Yao secretly exerting strength in her hands. Meng Jiao looked up at Meng Tang and Ning Jia and smiled lightly. She said, "I understand that people are born kind. Father, Mother, I want to be a kind and magnanimous person like you in the future!"

Ning Jia heaved a sigh of relief.

Meng Tang nodded in admiration. He thought, 'My daughter was talented, intelligent, and broad-minded. She was indeed the daughter of the Meng family!'

Meng Jiao smiled gently at Meng Yao and said, "Yao, let bygones be bygones. Let's be good sisters."

Meng Yao's anger rose. She thought, 'How did she become someone who took advantage of the Meng family after a few words?'

"Jiao, you really look like Mother when she smiles." Meng Wei, who was standing at the side as a spectator, could not help but praise.

When Meng Tang and Ning Jia heard that, they both smiled with relief.

"I'm not as good-looking as Mother. She is the most beautiful person I've ever seen," Meng Jiao said shyly.

Ning Jia's heart softened as she gently held Meng Jiao in her arms.

Initially, Ning Jia was a little worried that Meng Jiao, who did not grow up by her side, would not be close to her and would not be as caring as Yao, who she had raised. However, Ning Jia did not expect Meng Jiao to be so close to her as soon as she met her. 

As the saying goes, blood was really thicker than water!

Meng Yao gritted her teeth as she looked at the happy family of four. She hated her birth mother more than ever now! She blamed her for not strangling Meng Jiao to death back then.

Meng Yao's birth mother did that to provide a free servant for her silly aunt's family, to get a wife for that silly cousin of hers and raised a blight that snatched the happiness that originally belonged to Meng Yao.

Meng Yao hated her birth mother and Meng Jiao! She also hated the Meng family who had betrayed her without any reason!

Meng Yao raised her head high to stop her tears from flowing. She muttered in her heart, 'Meng Yao, you can't admit defeat. You can't just give everything to Meng Jiao! You have to take it back and chase this stinky girl out!'

The doctor came to do a comprehensive physical examination for Meng Jiao and told Meng Tang and his wife, "The child was extremely malnourished and needed to take good care of her body. The injuries on her body were all superficial wounds and did not hurt her bones and muscles. As for the old and new scars, they would have to wait until she grew up and see if they could be removed with aesthetic procedures."

Meng Tang was finally relieved.

Ning Jia hugged Meng Jiao and cried again. She felt even more sorry for her daughter and blamed herself.

Meng Jiao comforted Ning Jia obediently, "Mother, don't be sad. I don't feel pain anymore. I only have happiness in my heart now because I have a home. I have my parents, brothers, and sister."

Ning Jia hugged Meng Jiao tenderly, making Meng Yao's eyes burn with anger.
