At three in the morning, Jiang Nanfang arrived at Nancheng International Airport with her two children, right on time.
However, after collecting her tickets, she was informed by staff that there was an issue with the internal operating system, and the flight could not depart.
How could it be such a coincidence?
The problem occurred neither too early nor too late, but precisely when she was flying in the middle of the night…
Jiang Nanfang couldn't help but wonder: had Zhan Beijue discovered the children after they had been gone for so long?
Had he deliberately manipulated the airline's systems to prevent them from escaping?
Their relationship had deteriorated to such an extent that if they were caught at the airport, she might never see her children again for the rest of her life.
With no other options, Jiang Nanfang had to ask Ruirui to step in.
He logged into their official website and helped them fix the program.
Daddy was too much.
He would do anything to deal with Mommy.
He even instructed someone to sabotage the airline's internal system.
Ruirui didn't want to see Mommy being targeted by Daddy in public late at night, so he quickly used Jiang Nanfang's computer to log into the official website.
Soon, staff members came to inform them that the program had been repaired and they could now board.
The three of them boarded the plane smoothly. After a night of travel, they landed at Dan Country Airport at nine in the morning.
Finally back in familiar Dan Country, Jiang Nanfang rushed with the children to their cozy home.
But to her utter surprise, when she reached her doorstep and reached for the password to unlock it, she found she couldn't open the door at all.
Could it be that due to recent poor security, Tang Xueying had changed the lock?
She took out her phone to call Tang Xueying. After several attempts, it was an invalid number.
Because she trusted Tang Xueying so implicitly, she didn't even have a spare key.
With the phone unreachable, Jiang Nanfang could only resort to knocking on the window.
After knocking for a long time, the door was opened from the inside, but by two unfamiliar faces.
It was then that Jiang Nanfang learned that the house had been secretly sold by Tang Xueying three months ago.
Everything felt off, and a strong sense of unease washed over her. She quickly took the children and rushed to the factory again.
However, upon arrival, she found the guardhouse empty, and not a single person in the factory grounds.
Even if the factory was shut down due to the pandemic, the security guards should still be on duty. Why was there no one around?
She called the factory manager.
Upon hearing her voice, the factory manager was greatly surprised.
"Didn't they say you had an accident in Nancheng, and that you were already… that the factory couldn't continue operating?"
"Miss Tang came forward and dismissed all the workers, even paying them an extra month's salary as severance pay. Why are you back?"
Jiang Nanfang's legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
Tang Xueying had actually told the workers that she was dead and that the factory could no longer operate, and had disbanded everything on her behalf?!
What in the world was this girl up to?
Unable to believe she had been betrayed, and with one last place to go, she took the children to the perfumery studio.
However, the result was the same.
The studio she had once worked in had now become a coffee shop.
Jiang Nanfang was stunned.
She had known Tang Xueying since they were teenagers, a friendship spanning over a decade.
Tang Xueying was the person she trusted most in her life.
What kind of monumental event could have happened that required her to sell off all her assets behind her back?
Under the scorching sun.
Looking at her two equally bewildered children, she couldn't afford to be upset. She finally went to the financial manager's house.
To her surprise, the financial manager was also shocked to see her.
"Nan… Nanfang, why… why are you back? So you didn't have an accident, you're alive?"
"Then, how did Miss Tang get your death certificate?"
"After you passed away, didn't Miss Tang contact a childless couple in Germany to adopt the children? How come you found them again?"
The phrase "struck by lightning" was the most fitting description for Jiang Nanfang at that moment.
Tang Xueying had not only sold off all her property but had also sent the children to Germany?
What the hell was she thinking?!
But, wait, something was wrong.
The children were sent to Germany? But the children had just returned with her from Nancheng…
Seeing everyone confused, and with the other pair of twins facing such a serious situation, their life or death unknown, Ruirui could no longer conceal the truth and revealed his true identity.
Jiang Nanfang was once again utterly shocked.
What was happening today?
With so many unexpected events occurring in a single day, she suspected she might be out of her body and hallucinating.
The person she thought was her best friend, with whom she had lived for six consecutive years, had actually been betraying her for the past six years.
No wonder she had insisted that Jiang Nanfang get checked at her uncle's hospital back then.
No wonder she was always so enthusiastic about rushing to get the test results for her.
No wonder she had been vaguely pulled into a life on the run by her right after giving birth.
So that was it…
Was there anyone in the world more foolish than her? To only find out after having four children and six years had passed.
Her best friend had never truly considered her a friend. She only realized it when she lost everything.
It was truly a laughable matter!
No wonder Zhan Beijue had repeatedly said she was unfit to be a mother and had never fulfilled her maternal duties.
It turned out she hadn't taken care of these two children for a single day!
"Babies, why didn't you tell Mommy earlier!"
With the other two children sold off, Jiang Nanfang's blood pressure soared. Forgetting about finding Tang Xueying, she immediately booked tickets to Germany.
"I have to go save them quickly! Come on, no more nonsense, we're going to Germany!"
In reality, the two children Jiang Nanfang was worried about were being very well taken care of by Zhan Beijue.
They had not only eaten their fill and slept soundly.
Waking up in the morning, they were fiddling with the computer in Ruirui's room.
Soon, they discovered the secret left behind by Ruirui and Ge'er.
There was a history of logging into a certain app on the computer. Jing Yu logged in and easily accessed Ruirui's software backend.
"They actually have over 2 million followers on social media? That's amazing."
"Since we don't know how to contact them, let's make them contact us."
"Tiantian. Come and post a photo with me."
The siblings sat together, one sitting upright, the other acting cute and charming. They took a photo together and uploaded it to Ruirui's and Ge'er's respective social media accounts.
Within minutes, the photo's views and likes exceeded 100,000.
Jing Yu put down the computer.
"Alright, let's go meet Aunt Gong. When Ruirui sees the photo and contacts us, we'll go."
Thinking that her children were in trouble, Jiang Nanfang anxiously prepared to book tickets to Germany on the spot.
Ge'er, however, as if by telepathy, suddenly thought of something.
She walked up to the stunned financial aunt: "Auntie, can I borrow your computer?"
Soon, a short video app was downloaded.
Ge'er logged into her account and, as her premonition suggested, it was confirmed.
Her and her brother's social media accounts had been updated by someone else.
The other pair of twins had usurped their positions and gone to the Zhan family to take their place.
