656 Not My Biological Daughter

“Let’s try her birthday,” Lu Gan said.

Song Ci tried the code. “It’s not right.”

“What about four digits of the phone number?”

“Nope.” Song Ci looked at the four numbers on the password, pondered for a while, and asked Lu Gan, “Did Young Master Di mention his birthday just now?”

Lu Gan shook his head. “I did just see this, though.” As he spoke, he brought a photo over. In the photo, Mrs. Ji was hugging Young Master Di when he was a student.

“This was the photo in a frame in front of her computer. Her birthday is written on it, and the date at the bottom of the photo is October 1st, 2016.”

“It’s National Day.” Song Ci smiled and entered 1001. Inside was a diary.

Song Ci flipped through it and saw the words, “I’ve been married to the old master for three years now. Why am I still not pregnant? I want to give birth to a child for the old master. This way, my position in this family will be stable… God has taken pity on me. I’m finally pregnant. I hope it’s a boy. There are already two girls at home. Please… It’s amazing. I really gave birth to a boy. I’m so happy.”

“So your father likes your brother and doesn’t care much about you and your sister?”

Song Ci smiled. “Indeed. I don’t like him as much as I like my younger brother.”

“Then your sister is suspicious,” Lu Gan said.

Song Ci turned her head in confusion.

“Your father favors your brother very much. So there’s no benefit for your brother to kill him. The same goes for Madam Ji. That leaves your sister.”

“What about me?” Song Ci pointed at herself.

“How could I doubt you? I only feel sorry for you. Baby, you’ve been wronged.”

Song Ci took a step back and leaned against the bookshelf. Lu Gan placed his hands on the bookshelves on both sides of her shoulders.”Don’t worry, baby. I’ll take good care of you.”

Song Ci was speechless. “Thanks…”

The fans watching the live broadcast never expected to see this scene. They could not help but scream: This position!

Is this something I should see on a variety show?

Hurry up and kiss her, CEO Lu. Don’t be a coward. Just kiss her!

He keeps calling her ‘baby’. Is he not abusing his position? CEO Lu, tell me honestly, are you the scriptwriter?!

Lu Gan moved. He stood straight, retracted his hand, and continued to look for other evidence.

Song Ci looked at his figure helplessly.

The netizens were disappointed. That’s it?! CEO Lu, you’ve disappointed me.

Hahaha. Sisters, you’re too engrossed in your roles. This isn’t acting anymore…

As he spoke, Lu Gan cracked the computer password and checked a recording on the computer.

“Don’t come looking for me anymore.” It was Madam Ji’s voice.

“Why not?” It was a male voice.

“We agreed you wouldn’t come looking for me again. What are you doing?”

“But I missed you.”

“I don’t miss you.”

“Are you really that heartless?”

“If you continue like this, I won’t be polite to you anymore. Ah, what are you doing? Let go…”

The recording ended there.

“Did Madam Ji have an affair with him?” Song Ci guessed.

Lu Gan replied, “Probably. Isn’t she your stepmother? With her being so much younger than your father, she might have had a boyfriend.”

Song Ci suddenly thought of something. “Her diary said she was not pregnant, even after three years of marriage to my father. However, not long after, she said that she was pregnant. Don’t you think that’s too sudden?”

Lu Qian understood. “Are you saying that the child is his?”

“If that’s the case, she has a motive to kill as well…” Song Ci said.

The first round of investigation took about forty minutes. When it was over, Xie Chuan gathered everyone together and began the first round of deduction.

Ji Yue looked at Song Ci. “I’ll go first. I searched Little Ci’s room. Miss Ci, are you not the Old Master’s biological daughter?”

Song Ci smiled. “I’m actually the daughter of the Old Master’s younger brother. In other words, I’m his niece. My parents passed away when I was young, so my uncle adopted me when I was one year old.”

Second Young Miss Xu Qin was shocked. “So you’re not my biological sister? That’s not right. You’re uncle’s daughter, so that means we’re still related by blood.”

Butler Xie Chuan, who was also a detective, probed. “Miss Ci has been outstanding ever since she was young. She has received many awards. However, Old Master has never allowed you to enter the family’s office, right?”

“That’s right,” Song Ci replied. “My father favors boys over girls. So, he handed the company over to my younger brother, and I started my own business.”

“Weren’t you annoyed?” Xie Chuan asked.

Song Ci smiled. “Of course I was. Though, after I found out I was not his biological daughter, I didn’t mind it so much.”
