In the past, her mother would call her every month to ask, "Did you get your salary? Why didn't you call me?"

It seemed that to them, only when they gave her money did they become a family and treated her as a daughter.

Once, due to some problems, her salary was delayed for two days. Her parents thought she had hidden the salary and made a big fuss.

They scolded her for being heartless, saying that she was no longer filial now that she had grown powerful, etc.

Later, when her parents asked her to bring her younger brother with them, her first reaction was to refuse.

But her parents somehow found out the address of her company and came to make a big fuss, accusing her of abandoning her rural parents and even refusing to see her when her parents came to the city to see her.

Many people who didn't know what was going on also took videos and posted them online.

The company leader felt that the impact was bad, so he talked to her and asked her to deal with her family affairs before coming to work.

In the end, she had no choice but to compromise and take her brother with her. In the end, even her parents moved in with her...

After that, whenever she showed some resistance, her parents threatened her: "If you don't obey, we will go to your workplace to find your leader!"

Finally, even when discussing marriage, they threatened us with similar words: "Don't even think about turning your elbow outward! Even if you get married, you are still our daughter, and you still have to be filial to your parents and take care of your brother. If you don't listen, we will go to your workplace, and you will be the one who is embarrassed anyway."

She knew that if she wanted to change her current situation, she had to flee to a place where no one knew her and no one could find her.

Even though she couldn't make a living here with her real academic qualifications, and even though she could only work as a waitress, these past few months were the most relaxing life she had ever led.

No need to worry about being bombarded with phone calls from parents, nor worry about them coming to the company to make trouble.

However, in the evening, when she was busy serving food to the guests, she suddenly heard a familiar and frightening voice behind her: "Xiao Qian!"

His hands shook and the plate fell to the ground.

She saw them again: Dad, Mom, and brother.

She didn't understand why they could find her even though she had hidden so far away.

Why are you not sure about letting her go?

Xiao Qian's mother came forward, grabbed her and started to curse: "You gave up your job that pays 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month and came here to serve dishes. You are such a disgrace. Come back with me now!"

This roar immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xiao Qian felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into the street, and she felt extremely ashamed.

She subconsciously wanted to escape, but was held tightly by her father and brother.

Seeing that Xiao Qian was still trying to resist, her mother shouted, "Come and see this heartless and unfilial daughter! For a man, she ran away from home and didn't contact us for several months. Her father didn't want her, her mother didn't want her, and her brother didn't care about her. Oh, how could I give birth to such a heartless daughter?"

The people who did not know the truth began to point fingers and talk endlessly.

Xiao Qian's head was buzzing and countless voices flooded into her ears, making it a chaotic mess.

She couldn't hear what the voices were saying, but she knew it was not good.

She couldn't help but yell, "Why do you force me like this? Why do you suck my blood like this? Do you really treat me as your daughter?"

Xiao Qian's mother was even more furious: "What nonsense are you talking about, you silly girl? It's because you are our daughter, I risked my life to give birth to you, and raised you with great difficulty, that I can't just ignore you. As parents, we are all doing this for your own good!"

"You are not her parents at all!" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Then I saw an elderly couple in their fifties walked into the restaurant.

The couple kept looking at Xiao Qian's face.

"Yes, you are our daughter! You look almost the same as your mother when she was young." The man who spoke choked up.

The woman next to him, although her face was full of wrinkles, her facial features were very similar to Xiao Qian's.

The woman's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was trembling: "My daughter, you are really my daughter! Mom and Dad have been looking for you for more than 20 years, and finally found you!"

When Xiao Qian's parents heard this, they looked panicked for a moment.

Xiao Qian's mother yelled at the top of her voice: "What are you talking about? This is my daughter, my biological daughter. Xiao Qian, ignore these two lunatics and follow me, let's go back!"

The woman who looked very similar to Xiao Qian grabbed Xiao Qian's hand tightly and said:

"You are really my daughter. I recognized you right away. There is no mistake. There is a small round scar on your right arm, right? That was when you were six months old and you were accidentally burned by your father's cigarette butt. Your father blamed himself for a long time because of this. Since then, he quit smoking and never touched it again."

The man took out a stack of missing person notices from his bag: "When you were eight months old, you were lying on the cart in front of the store and playing. Suddenly, a few customers came, and your mother and I were busy serving the customers. In just a few minutes, you disappeared."

"Since then, we have been looking for you all over the world. I don't know how many missing person notices we printed! It wasn't until yesterday that we saw your photo in the live broadcast room, and we knew at first glance that you were our daughter! You really look alike, you really look like your mother."

"After the anchor told us your address, we quickly wrote it down and drove over overnight. When we saw you in person, we were even more certain that you were our daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian quickly rolled up her sleeves, and sure enough, there was a small scar on it, which was round and so faint that it was almost invisible.

When she was little, she also asked: "Why? I have a scar on my arm. Where did it come from?"

Xiao Qian's mother said nonchalantly, "Who knows where it came from? You were probably naughty when you were a kid, and I don't know how you got hurt."

At that time, she felt very sad that her parents didn't care about her and didn't even know how the scars on her body came about.

When I grew up, I saw other classmates being cared for and loved unconditionally by their parents.

She sometimes wondered, "Am I my parents' biological child? If I am, why don't they love their daughters like other parents do?"

But she quickly dismissed the idea: they were so patriarchal, if they were going to adopt one, they should adopt a son.

I never expected that I was not actually my biological child!

Seeing Xiao Qian wavering, Xiao Qian's mother said quickly, "You are my biological child. Don't believe them. They are liars! Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe me just for two strangers?"

Xiao Qian said, "Let's do a paternity test. I also want to know if I am your biological child. Why have you treated me like this for so many years?"

"You are not allowed to go! You heartless girl, if you dare to go, I will beat you to death!" Xiao Qian's father said as he raised his hand and was about to use violence.

Xiao Qian subconsciously wanted to hide, but the man who claimed to be her biological father protected her behind him: "I have been looking for my precious daughter for so many years, no one can hit her again!"

In an instant, Xiao Qian burst into tears.

There was no time to do a paternity test, and it was not certain whether they were related by blood. But she felt love from him - love from a father!

"My daughter was stolen back then, and the case is on file with the public security agency. We called the police before we got here. If you are found to be involved in human trafficking, that's a crime and you'll go to jail!"

"Ah!" Xiao Qian's mother exclaimed, "What human trafficking? We didn't do that! Absolutely not! She showed up at our doorstep for no apparent reason, and we took her in because we felt sorry for her..."

As she spoke, she suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and she quickly covered her mouth.
