The day Shen Nian was recognized back to the Shen family, what greeted her was not relatives, but cold eyes, a servant's room, and the "enthusiasm" of the fake daughter Shen Mingzhu. At the wedding reception, Shen Mingzhu drugged the wine and pretended to be pushed down the stairs. Everyone thought Shen Nian was finished. Until her three-year-old daughter held up her phone watch and pressed play—
"Chen Nian, this medicine is enough for you to sleep until tomorrow. Do you want to recognize your relatives? It's a dream."
The recording was played in front of a full house of guests. Shen Mingzhu's face turned pale. This is just the beginning.
In the days that followed, Mengbao recorded, drew maps, heard lies, and cracked passwords, helping Mommy step by step uncover the family's old accounts - the subcontracted paternity test, the transferred huge assets, the key witness who had been imprisoned for twenty-three years, and the truth about Shen Nian's mother being forced to leave that year.
When all the evidence was spread across the family round table, Shen Nian watched the once arrogant fake daughter slumped on the ground.
She lowered her head, and the jade pendant swayed gently on her collarbone. The crayon family portrait drawn by my daughter is still posted on the bedside. There is a large circle on it with two words crookedly written inside: "Grandma."
