“Weiwei, are you done with the experiment?”

Chi Wei was holding a piece of experiment equipment that could no longer be identified. Just as she passed by the village entrance, she was stopped by a few old ladies who were fanning themselves.

It was August, and the weather was stuffy and dry. The air was filled with billowing heat waves.

Chi Wei wiped the sweat off her forehead. Under the sunlight, her fair skin looked almost transparent. Her eyelashes were long and curly, perfectly outlining the beautiful shape of her eyes. There was a hint of coldness in her black and white eyes.

“It’s already done.”

When Chi Wei uttered those words, the old ladies who had been leisurely enjoying the sunlight under a shade all looked at her at the same time. After a few seconds of silence, there was an amiable look in their eyes.

The calculation and manipulation of numbers in this experiment were very strict, as even the slightest mistake would result in an unpredictable outcome. Up until now, no one had dared to conduct it rashly.

Some who were stubborn had even lost their lives.

If the news was spread, it would probably cause a sensation in the scientific research world again.

At the thought of this, even the older senior researchers who had already made a name for themselves would feel ashamed.

How could there be such a big difference between people?

Who would have thought that the little girl in front of them had won more awards in just a couple of years than they had in their combined lifetime?

“The younger generation is really awesome!”

One of the old ladies let out a low sigh. Then, she suddenly recalled something and was ready to gossip.

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Weiwei, your parents came all the way from Rong City to look for you. They’re currently in your small courtyard…”

“They seem to miss you, especially your mother. She was crying miserably. Hurry up and go see her.”

Her long-lost parents?

Chi Wei lifted her eyelids. Her clear black and white eyes were like deep pools and ancient wells. There were no fluctuations in her emotions. She nodded and left.

Just two days ago, Chi Wei suddenly received a text message on her phone. The other party claimed to be her biological parents, whom she had never met before. They said that they were going to come and take her home.

As she was busy with her experiments, Chi Wei had actually forgotten about this matter.

–

After walking for a while, Chi Wei arrived at her home.

She was just a short distance away from the small courtyard when she finally understood what the old granny meant by, “She was crying miserably.”.

At the entrance of the dilapidated small courtyard, a middle-aged woman wearing a black one-piece dress was crying her eyes out in front of a bunch of people. Her tears spilled onto her husband, Chi Yun’s lapels. It was like a bursting dam. However, she had no intention of stopping.

“Sob, mommy’s poor little girl!”

“It’s all mommy’s fault for not being able to take care of you properly. That’s why you ended up living in such a shabby place for so many years. It hurts mommy’s heart every minute and second!”

“If God gave me another chance, I would say ‘Mommy loves you and will keep loving you for at least the next 10,000 years.”

“…”

Chi Wei was speechless and so was everyone else who was present.

Some of them were about to speak when they saw Chi Wei slowly walking over from not too far away. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief and pointed at her.

The woman, who was crying her heart out, instantly stopped. She looked in the direction of where the others were pointing and was shocked.

“You… are you our Weiwei?”

Chi Yun, who was standing at the side, also turned his head around to look at Chi Wei. He was just as surprised as his wife.

Chi Yun and his wife, Qiao Yuechu, had been married for nearly twenty years.

From the moment they fell in love at first sight to the moment they got together, they originally had a very happy married life. However, everything was completely destroyed when they lost their daughter.

They had searched for many years and thought that they would never see their long lost daughter again, but they did not expect to hear about her on the recent news!

The pair immediately stopped whatever they were doing and rushed over to her location.

However, they had also prepared themselves for the worst.

After all, their younger daughter had lived in the countryside for so many years. So, it was inevitable that she would be affected by the countryside people’s mindset. Their family was not short on money. Even if she did not turn out to be an outstanding person, they hoped that she would lead a healthy and safe life.

Despite that, the girl who was slowly walking towards them did not have a trace of rustic air around her.

The corner of her simple and clean white shirt was tucked into her black jeans, outlining her long and beautiful legs. The sleeves of her shirt were slightly rolled up, revealing a section of her fair wrist.

Because of the hot weather, her long hair was casually tied into a bun.

Her face was even more beautiful. She had exquisite facial features and did not require any makeup to make them look that way.

Perhaps everything was too sudden, but Chi Wei’s almond-shaped eyes still displayed a look of confusion, just like a deer.

Qiao Yuechu felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, her daughter had inherited her peerless beauty!

If she had no talent for anything, at least she still could be a trophy wife in the future.

She was just a little girl. They could easily afford to raise her.

They had not seen each other for more than ten years.

Qiao Yuechu could not care less about her husband anymore. She quickly shook off his hand and hugged her daughter instead.

“Weiwei, mommy really misses you!”

Her daughter was fragrant and soft. Qiao Yuechu was reluctant to let go of her even after having hugged for a long time.

Chi Wei’s body slightly stiffened.

Since Chi Wei had always been working for the scientific research industry, it was rare for her to have any intimate physical contact with others.

However, she did not feel conflicted.

It was Qiao Yuechu who was the first to realize that something was wrong. All of a sudden, she let go of Chi Wei and gazed at her daughter’s tattered sleeves instead. Tears flowed out once again from her eyes.

“My poor daughter, you must have suffered so much! You can’t even afford a new piece of clothing. Your shirt is already so tattered, yet you still continue to wear it…”

“I’m sorry!”

“…”

Chi Wei was confused.

Her eyes followed Qiao Yuechu’s tear-filled gaze and she saw a large hole in her sleeve.

“Oh.”

Her shirt was accidentally damaged when she conducted the experiment. She did not have time to get changed.

“I did not suffer.”

She curved her lips, and her faint voice sounded slightly sweet.

Even after hearing those words, Qiao Yuechu’s tears did not stop flowing. Instead, they became more intense.

Sob.

Her daughter was really positive and optimistic. Even after suffering so much, she did not lose hope in life. She even knew how to comfort her old mother instead, who had failed her duties!

She must make it up to Chi Wei properly in the upcoming future.

Chi Yun, who had been watching from the side all this while, stood up and tried to resolve the situation.

“Calm down, don’t scare your daughter.”

As soon as she heard what her husband said, Qiao Yuechu realized that she had lost her composure.

She had behaved so unsightly in front of her long-lost daughter!

“Weiwei, listen to mommy. Mommy is normally more elegant than this. I do not usually act like what you just saw!”

“…”

Chi Wei hummed softly, but she did not express her thoughts.

Chi Yun, who was trying to remain calm and dignified, decided to change the topic.

He may not have cried and hugged his daughter as his wife did, but in reality, the excitement in his heart was no less than hers.

Chi Yun had a neat and tidy appearance since he had taken good care of himself. Even though he was in his forties, he still emitted a noble and stylish aura. He also had a bright smile.

“Weiwei, we thought about you every day throughout these years.”

“Fortunately, the heavens blessed us and we finally found you. Now, come home with us, okay? We promise that we will give you everything that money can buy and you’ll lead the best life ever…”

Chi Wei lifted her eyelids but still did not display much of a reaction.

Money? She was not too concerned about that.

However, when her gaze met Qiao Yuechu’s pleading eyes, Chi Wei slowly nodded her head.

…

Chi Wei was not interested in anything other than scientific research and food, so she did not own too many belongings.

After briefly packing up, Chi Wei bid farewell to the elderlies in the village. Then, she sat in her parents’ car.

Worried that Chi Wei might not be used to being alone, Qiao Yuechu sat next to her at the back of the car and explained everything about the Chi family to her in detail.

The Chi family lived in Rongcheng, which was very far away from the small village they were currently in.

Although Rongcheng was not comparable to the city’s capital, it was still considered one of the most prosperous areas. The Chi family was among the top two wealthiest families in Rongcheng.

Their family members consisted of an elderly lady, a well-behaved little cousin sister, and Chi Wei’s three brothers. Although, they barely ever returned home so it was as if they did not even exist.

After driving for a few hours, the car finally stopped in front of a luxurious European-style villa.

The sky was almost completely dark. Under the hazy night sky, the view of the small garden outside the villa was simply dazzling.

Meanwhile, inside the villa, it was brightly lit.

Qiao Yuechu got out of the car and saw her daughter looking around the place. She was about to shed tears again.

Her daughter, who had always lived in the countryside, must have never seen such a magnificent residence.

However, Qiao Yuechu quickly composed herself and held her daughter’s hand in a comforting manner.

“Grandma heard that you were coming back today, so she insisted on waiting for you at home. She looks rather fierce but don’t be afraid when you see her…”

Before Qiao Yuechu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by someone with a sarcastic voice.

“You guys still know how to come back?”

“You’re just picking up a wild child from the countryside. Why did it take so long? Wanwan had been talking about wanting to have dinner with everyone when you guys were not around. She had waited all this while! In two days, Wanwan still had to participate in a competition. Do you know how much of her precious time that you had wasted?!”

Then, the door of the villa opened.

With just a glance, one could see an angry old lady sitting in the middle of the living room.

She had white hair and sharp eyes. Upon first impression, it seemed that she would be very difficult to get along with.
