Chapter 181: 1 point of selfishness
The four of them immediately took two steps back and looked at Zhao Zhaodi cautiously, as if they were afraid that the little girl in front of them would dislike them.
"Let's meet at the Judicial DNA Identification Center at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and wait for the results to come out before we talk, okay?" Xu Fang asked.
The four of them agreed quickly.
One of the mothers suddenly tried to pass a bag to Zhao Zhaodi: "This is the rice cake I made myself. It tastes better than the ones you buy outside."
The look she gave Zhao Zhaodi was enough to make one drown.
The couple beside them were also suddenly awakened: "Yes, yes, we also brought food for our daughter. She must be starving after getting off the plane so late. This is the candied lotus root that Dad made. When our daughter was two years old, she could eat a whole piece in one go."
Zhao Zhaodi was at a loss: "I... I can't accept her... I'm not necessarily your daughter..."
The three of them had the same idea: "Whether you are our daughter or not, if you eat it, it will be like our daughter (baby) eating the food made by mom and dad, which will satisfy our little wish."
Zhao Zhaodi turned her head and quietly wiped the tears from her face.
Xu Youyou asked Xu Fang to take the things over.
Although they were there to pick them up at the airport, Xu Youyou and her group had already arranged the pick-up arrangements, so they just walked them all the way to the hotel.
After checking into the hotel, Zhao Zhaodi didn't sleep well the whole night.
Although the bed in the hotel was countless times softer than the one at Zhao's house, she began to panic when she thought about the family reunion tomorrow and that she might not be the child of any couple in Suzhou.
Even if she recognized her relatives, she was afraid that she would not be able to change her situation, that her parents would not like her, and that it would be difficult to get along with the people in her family.
The next morning, as Xu Youyou walked out of her suite, she saw Zhao Zhaodi squatting on the ground by the door.
"Boss, if... if... my family is not good... can I continue to follow you? As long as you pay for my studies, I am willing to sign a contract to sell myself!" Zhao Zhaodi said pitifully.
Xu Youyou looked at the child's face with two huge dark circles under her eyes and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, if your parents don't take responsibility for you, I will. But this is not the old society, there is no such thing as a body contract."
Xu Youyou doesn't have any children of her own, but she has raised several children, so she doesn't need Zhao Zhaodi.
But she thought that this was a task assigned by the system, and that the child probably came from a good family, so those messy things would probably not happen to him.
After the group finished breakfast at the hotel and went downstairs, they saw a group of people already waiting in the hotel lobby.
All of these people stared at Zhao Zhaodi nervously, and some of them had photos in their hands.
The two couples who rushed to the airport last night were among them.
Xu Youyou's eyes fell on the couple in the lead. The middle-aged couple were both wearing well-made windbreakers, which were tailored to fit their bodies and had smooth lines, as if they were handmade. Although they looked at Zhao Zhaodi with eagerness, they had a natural elegance.
Such a calm and unhurried attitude can be said to stand out among a group of people.
Following behind them was a handsome young man in a black suit, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
The young man's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Zhao Zhaodi's, and the look he gave Zhao Zhaodi was particularly gentle.
Xu Youyou guessed that these were most likely Zhao Zhaodi's family.
"Girl, do you have a red birthmark on your lower back?"
"Girl, do you have a black birthmark on your left calf?"
"Little girl, do you have a mole on the back of your neck?"
A group of parents looking for their children gathered around and looked at Zhao Zhaodi nervously, eager to get her affirmative answer.
It’s a pity that when Li Cuiyun and his wife chose Zhao Zhaodi from a group of abducted children, they also put some thought into it. There are no particularly obvious marks on Zhao Zhaodi’s body, which can minimize the possibility of Zhao Zhaodi finding her biological parents.
As Zhao Zhaodi shook her head, the light in the eyes of those parents who asked about the characteristics gradually dimmed.
One of the mothers suddenly burst into tears while holding the photo: "Where did my daughter go? Why is it so hard to find her?"
Such cries gradually spread among the gathered crowd, and Zhao Zhaodi's denial meant that they had returned empty-handed once again.
Another group of people who still held on to hope also couldn't hide their sadness at this moment. After all, those gathered here were all people who shared the same suffering.
Zhao Zhaodi was not good at dealing with such a situation. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do. She wanted to comfort them, but didn't know where to start.
Finally, it was the wife of the elegant couple. Although her expression was heavy, she looked at Zhao Zhaodi with restraint, then gently persuaded the others: "Let's take it slow. If we find the first child, we can find the second one. We will definitely find all our children."
Xu Youyou originally thought that such persuasion would be like a drop in the bucket in the face of the parents crying uncontrollably, but she did not expect that after hearing the woman's voice, the group of people gradually calmed down.
"Sister Lin, we won't cry anymore. As long as we keep looking, we will definitely find our child. You are right. We must look our best to take the child back. We must work hard and stay healthy. We must not become the person that scares the child."
With Ms. Lin's comfort, the parents who confirmed that Zhao Chaodi was not their child left in an orderly manner.
A group of people went to the Forensic DNA Identification Center instead.
Until the end of the sampling, Ms. Lin's eyes were closely following Zhao Zhaodi, and the expressions of her husband and son behind her were no less.
As an official paternity testing agency, the Judicial DNA Identification Center normally produces results within seven working days. However, this matter was urgent and was considered an expedited case, so they said it might take at least three working days.
The other parents gradually left, leaving only Ms. Lin and her family of three.
"Xiao Zhao, can I call you that?" Ms. Lin asked gently.
Zhao Zhaodi nodded slightly. She couldn't deny her feelings. She had a natural liking for Ms. Lin in front of her.
"Is this your first time in Gusu?" asked Ms. Lin.
Zhao Zhaodi nodded.
Ms. Lin continued, "The results of the appraisal haven't come out yet. I'll accompany you to travel around Gusu for the next two days, okay?"
Although Zhao Zhaodi wanted to play, she shook her head firmly: "Auntie, this is too much trouble for you. I will just stay in the hotel and wait for news. You really don't have to be so polite."
Ms. Lin smiled and said, "You don't have to feel burdened by this. Whether you are my daughter or not, I really want to spend more time with a lovely girl like you."
Zhao Zhaodi really liked her and was a little hesitant for a moment.
Ms. Lin was very sincere. She took out her ID card and said, "You can take a look at my ID card. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I secretly think that if you were my daughter, I would be spending a few more days with my daughter by accompanying you in Suzhou."
When Zhao Zhaodi heard this, she felt as if her heart was burned by something.
