Chapter 2968 — Recognizing Kin

"That's right. You've probably already guessed—Qing Bo and Granny Sun are in fact your birth parents!" Wei Zhao nodded.
Sun Jingyan's eyes reddened at once. She did not doubt Wei Zhao's words; for him to tell her so surely, he must have verified it from many angles—and Sun Luoying's looks were proof enough in themselves.
It was only that Sun Jingyan had never imagined that Qing Bo and Granny Sun could be her parents!
"Jingyi, Xiao Yi speaks the truth. Luoyue and I are your parents!" Qing Bo watched Sun Jingyan nervously yet expectantly, and said slowly, "In fact, ever since you returned from the Ulonghot Mountains and Wei Zhao brought out that energy stone, I knew. It was only that your mother and I have formidable enemies, and I feared implicating you, so I never acknowledged you. But who would have thought that even without acknowledging you, trouble came calling a while back and nearly harmed you and Wei Zhao. Thankfully, it's all past now..."
"Is this real? I'm not dreaming, am I?" To Sun Jingyan, the day's events felt dreamlike—Wei Zhao wounded, and she had found her birth parents.
"Jingyi, Qing Bo really is your father!" Gu Mengyao had long since learned this from Wei Zhao and Qing Bo.
Sun Jingyan understood then—no wonder Gu Mengyao's attitude toward her had changed from before, grown so much warmer. It was because she was Qing Bo's daughter!
Sun Jingyan's guess was right; that was exactly how Gu Mengyao saw it. Qing Bo treated her almost like his own daughter, and had saved her many times. Now that Qing Bo had found his daughter—a daughter who, though she seemed to have some tangled feelings with Wei Zhao—Gu Mengyao had still gladly accepted her, simply because she was Qing Bo's daughter, no different from her own elder sister.
Just as Little Shu always treated her—never as an outsider, never competing with her over anything.
"Dad... Mom..." These words, buried deep in Sun Jingyan's heart for so many years, now spoken aloud—she had thought they would be heavy, but they were incomparably light!
"Jingyi!" Sun Luoying was the first to shed tears; Qing Bo, the sturdier of the two, simply kept smiling at Sun Jingyan.
"Mom..." Sun Jingyan pressed her lips together, took a step forward, and threw herself into Sun Luoying's embrace.
Though everyone found it a little amusing that a grown woman like Sun Jingyan would do such a thing, they could well understand her feelings.
Watching Sun Jingyan's happiness, Gu Mengyao was moved by the scene. If one day she were to see her own mother, would she be like Sun Jingyan too? Most likely she would! (To be continued)
