Chapter 19 — After Divorce, I Am a Real Angel

Pho Kinh Nghien was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke.

"22 years ago, Jiang Cheng had a serious baby kidnapping case. A criminal gang specialized in exchanging children from rich families for blackmail. She... was one of the victims."

I clenched my fist.

"To Quoc Vi and his wife were accomplices of that gang. They were in charge of finding targets and providing information. That year, their initial target was the Pho family, but because the Pho family was on strict guard, they couldn't find an opportunity, so they took a step back and chose the To family. But later, they discovered that the Pho family's daughter-in-law also gave birth at the same hospital, and the child was born weak at birth, with a high possibility of not living long, so they came up with a spontaneous idea to swap both children.”

“Two kids?” I was stunned, "Besides me, who else?"

Pho Kinh Nghien raised his head and looked at me with complicated eyes.

“The remaining child is me.”

My head made a "bang" sound, like something had just exploded.

“What... what did you say?”

"I said, I'm not from the Pho family either." Pho Kinh Nghien raised the corners of his lips, revealing a smile even more unsightly than crying, "I am the child of the To family, the biological son of To Quoc Vi. As for you, To Nghien, you are the descendant of the Pho family, the biological granddaughter of Pho Chan Hoa."

“What about Su Tuyet?” I asked with a trembling voice.

“She is not the real genius of the To family.” Pho Kinh Nghien said hoarsely, "She is just a child brought back by To Quoc Vi to blind everyone. The so-called recognition of ancestors is a drama from beginning to end."

The coffee shop was eerily quiet. The sound of river water outside the window, the sound of car horns in the distance, all seemed to be separated by a thick layer of glass, making it indistinct. I looked at Pho Kinh Nghien, at the man I had loved for three years and hated for three years, and suddenly saw that everything was so absurd.

“You… you're kidding, right?” I heard my voice tremble.

“I also wish it was just a joke.” Pho Kinh Nghien pulled a file from the inside pocket of his vest and pushed it towards me, "This is the DNA test report, mine, yours, and grandfather's. The three of us. After reading it, you will understand."

I tremblingly opened the document. First page, the assessment results of Pho Kinh Nghien and Pho Chan Hoa: Excluding paternal and grandchild relationships. The second page, the assessment results of me and Pho Chan Hoa: Support the paternal-grandson relationship. Third page, examination results of Pho Kinh Nghien and To Quoc Vi: Supporting the blood relationship between father and son. The paper was black and white, like a knife stabbing straight into my eyes.

“Why did it happen…” I whispered, “How did it become like this…”

"That year, after the criminal gang swapped my identity with hers, they originally intended to blackmail the Pho family. But the Pho family's grandfather discovered that the child had been switched, and immediately blocked the news to secretly investigate. To Quoc Vi and his wife were afraid of being exposed, so they lied and said they carried her by mistake, keeping her with them to raise, and I..." Pho Kinh Nghien choked, "I was taken to an orphanage when I was very young, until I was 5 years old. When I was a year old, my grandfather found me and took me to the Pho family."

“Why did he bring you back?”

“Because of guilt.” Pho Kinh Nghien smiled bitterly, "Grandpa thought it was your negligence that caused me to wander outside. So he treated me as his own grandchild and raised me up. entrust the Vice-Chancellor to me and meet all my requests. But he did not expect that the grandson he had loved for more than 20 years was completely unrelated to the Pho family. As for me, I didn't know my identity, I always thought I was the only heir, until..."

“Until when?”

"It wasn't until three years ago that my grandfather was seriously ill that he told me the truth." Pho Kinh Nghien looked at me, "You said, that adopted daughter of the To family is truly the flesh and blood of the Pho family. He forced me to marry you, one way to make up for it
