The hometown of the postpartum care worker was Lingyun City Xu Family Village. Her son was named Xu Gang, and her daughter-in-law was named Yu Huiying. If he wasn't mistaken, he had previously chatted casually with Ye Junli, and the names of Xu Wanwan's adoptive parents were also those names.

Indeed, later on there was a sentence: The couple had a daughter, Xu Wanwan, born on February 28, 2004, currently a freshman at Hai City University.

Afterwards, there was also a photo of Xu Wanwan from her ID card attached.

Xiao Yongze frowned. Since Xu Wanwan had been confirmed as a member of the Ye family, then Ye Jinmeng must be the postpartum care worker's biological granddaughter.

Thinking of that well-behaved and adorable little girl, Xiao Yongze felt strangely relieved.

The three members of the Xu family were very wicked, but fortunately the two children Xu Wanwan and Ye Jinmeng were both promising and kind-hearted, not inheriting the wickedness of the Xu family.

There was just one point he couldn't figure out. The records stated that Yu Huiying had given birth via cesarean section before her due date. So she had probably planned in advance to switch the babies.

The postpartum care worker was renowned as a top-tier care worker at the time. Regardless of whether she knew Yu Huiying intended to switch babies, Yu Huiying should have guided her own mother-in-law to care for her own biological child.

But when they made the reservation, he and Ye Junli were both vying to pay the deposit. No matter how much he offered, Ye Junli would bid double, but in the end the postpartum care worker chose the Xiao family.

Ye Junli was still very disgruntled and said to the postpartum care worker, "How can you not take more money!"

At the time, the postpartum care worker seemed to have said something. What was it again? Xiao Yongze frowned as he tried to recall.

It was something like, "My daughter-in-law said Mrs. Xiao had helped her before, so she told me to take the Xiao family's job as a way to return the favor."

He hadn't looked into that statement at the time, because Xi Xi herself liked to help others.

Xiao Yongze opened his eyes. If Xi Xi had truly helped Yu Huiying before, then the postpartum care worker was simply repaying a kindness, which was understandable.

But if this was just an excuse from Yu Huiying to deceive her mother-in-law into going to the Xiao family, then...

Xiao Yongze's heart skipped a beat. That would mean Yu Huiying's target from the start was the Xiao family!

But then why did it change to the Ye family? They had all given birth on the same day, and Yu Huiying was even a few hours later than them. The babies were all in the newborn nursery, so why would she change her target?

Xiao Yongze's thoughts were in disarray. It seemed he needed to investigate further. He would ask Xu Wanwan later if Yu Huiying had left behind any belongings, which might provide some clues. 𝐟𝗿ee𝘄𝗲𝗯𝐧o𝘃el.𝐜o𝚖

Soon, the plane landed at Xinxing Airport in Hai City. Xiao Yongze put aside his doubts and got his luggage after leaving the airport.

Xiao Yongze walked wearily into the living room and heard cheerful laughter coming from the dining area. He turned his head to see this scene:

Ye Jinmeng had stuffed a chicken drumstick into her mouth, her cheeks puffed out as she mumbled, "Mmm... Auntie, this chicken leg is so delicious!"

"And this fish is so good too!"

Xiao Yuanning took some fish with his chopsticks and gave it to Ye Jinmeng. "Sister, eat more if you like it!"

"Brother, you're so blessed!"

Ye Jinmeng tilted her head to look at Xiao Yuanning, and happened to catch sight of Xiao Yongze staring at her from the living room. Ye Jinmeng startled and instinctively called out, "Uncle Xiao..."

But as she said it, she choked on the food.

Xu Wanwan quickly passed her a drink when she saw what happened.

"Oh, husband, you're back so soon?" Song Jiaxi said with some surprise when she saw her husband.

"Have you eaten? Quickly wash your hands and join us!"

Ye Jinmeng finally managed to swallow the food and immediately stood up to greet Xiao Yongze. "Hello, Uncle Xiao!"

Her little face was flushed red, as if embarrassed by her earlier display.

Xiao Yongze smiled. "Don't be nervous, just keep eating. I'll go wash my hands."

Ye Jinmeng sat back down and took a deep breath, then began to sit up straight.

Song Jiaxi chuckled when she saw Ye Jinmeng's demeanor. "Look at you, your uncle won't eat you. Eat and drink as you like, don't mind him."

Xiao Yuanning also chimed in, "Yeah, Sister, we're all close in our family. My dad and I are like good buddies!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the back of his head was slapped. Xiao Yongze's voice came from behind, "Not getting disciplined for three days and you start misbehaving again, you cheeky kid."

Xiao Yongze had only lightly tapped him, not enough to hurt, but Xiao Yuanning played it up by covering his head and whining, "Sister, Dad hit me..."

Everyone at the table burst out laughing. Ye Jinmeng also played along, "Don't cry, little brother. Let your sister give you a kiss to make it all better."

Xiao Yongze watched their interaction and felt his heart melting. How wonderful it would be if he had a daughter.

The group continued their meal, and although Ye Jinmeng was initially reserved, within a few minutes she was "munching away" again.

Song Jiaxi's cooking was simply too delicious. Even with common ingredients, it was as if she brought out their maximum potential. Everything tasted incredible.

Song Jiaxi loved hearty eaters, and seeing Ye Jinmeng enjoy the food so much filled her with immense satisfaction, making her own meal even more flavorful.

After the meal, Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan sat in the living room chatting with Xiao Yongze and the others.

Xiao Yongze, mindful of the issue still unresolved in his mind, turned to Xu Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, there's something I want to ask you about."

Xu Wanwan looked puzzled. "Sure, Uncle Xiao, just ask."

Xiao Yongze organized his thoughts before speaking. "I was wondering if your adoptive parents left behind any belongings, or if you had ever heard them mention anything about switching babies when you were young?"

Xu Wanwan frowned, wondering why Uncle Xiao was asking about this. Was he curious about her origins?

Seeing her hesitate, Xiao Yongze said, "Apologies, I may have overstepped."

Xu Wanwan snapped out of it and quickly shook her head. "No, no, I was just trying to recall. Don't misunderstand."

Xiao Yongze felt relieved as Xu Wanwan continued, "From what I remember, they were rarely home when I was young. Sometimes I only saw them once a year. We weren't close, so I never heard them mention anything like that."

"However, in terms of belongings, after they passed away, their belongings from the construction site were all packed up and sent to me. Apart from some clothes, there was also a locked iron box that I've never opened before, so I don't know what's inside."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yongze perked up with interest. "Oh? Where is that box?"

"It's in my dorm room, and before I came to Hai City, I didn't plan on going back there, so I brought everything I thought might be useful."

Xiao Yongze was delighted, "Then, would it be possible to see what's inside?"

Worried that this request sounded too abrupt, he sighed and quickly explained: "To be honest, I've suddenly realized there are many suspicious points regarding your foster mother's child swap, and it may be related to me and your Auntie Song. Perhaps the only way to get clues now is to look at her belongings and see if there's anything there."

Ye Jinmeng was stroking Shu Fen and replied in a somewhat muffled voice: "I think we should take a look, I don't know if there's anything related to me..."
