Chapter 1753 Nothing Had Really Changed (Part Two)

"That girl...again" Rain smiled silently upon hearing of Leena's involvement once again. In the past, Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Leena had been the only woman to know his sorrows, but now he had Annie to share his joys and
sorrows with.
"Yeah, it was she who told me. I feel that she is like a treasure trove, in which there are many wonderful
gifts not yet known by others," Annie felt that she liked Leena more and more as time went by. Leena
was ever optimistic and had a positive life outlook, which made her easy to get along with, and a good
friend to Annie.
"Yeah! That's why we all treasure her so much," Rain sighed slightly. He thought that Kevin had won
her heart so easily. If he had not acted without their knowledge, then they would not have let him marry
Leena so easily. Since they cherished her so much, no one would ever be considered good enough for
her.
"I see," Annie realized that Leena was actually the link between Rain and his companions, and she
helped these men maintain their friendship. It seemed that they could get along with one another
particularly harmoniously, as long as Leena was together with them.
"Let's go to sleep. It's late," Rain gave her a lingering kiss on the lips before he closed his eyes, still
cradling her in his arms. Tomorrow would be another day. Their wonderful life together had just begun.
After the wedding, the Spring Festival would soon arrive. So, everyone, including Rain, became
extremely busy with planning and business. Even so, Rain did not forget to help Tiana investigate the
identity of her biological parents.
When his cellphone rang, he had just concluded an executive meeting. He took the call while still
walking.
"Hello, boss. What's up?" he asked while also taking a file from an employee that required his
signature, and absently penning his name.
"I need to see you, immediately. Come over, I have some questions for you," Edward said brusquely. In
his office, Edward had perused the documents in front of him with widening eyes. He found it difficult to
believe what he was reading. Therefore, he needed to ask Rain some questions right now and in
person.
"What happened? What is so urgent? Can I come to you this afternoon?" Rain found himself in a pickle
as he noticed the time on his wrist watch, and he still had many meetings ahead.
"No, you can't. Come here right away," Edward didn't think he could wait until the afternoon with such
dramatic news.
"Okay! I'll be there in half an hour," Rain said helplessly, hung up the phone, before dialing William and
giving some instructions before leaving for Edward's office.
As soon as he arrived at the FX International Group, he immediately took the elevator to the top floor
and Edward's office.
"Edward, what on earth is the matter? What is so urgent that I had to drop everything and come here
right now?" Rain asked. Exhausted, he threw himself down on the sofa in a fatigued sprawl.
"Here, you read these documents first," Edward threw a pile of documents onto the large corporate
desk.
"What are those?" Rain asked. Seeing the papers, he rose resignedly, walked to the desk and picked
up the documents Edward had just dropped.
"You'll know the answer as soon as you read them for yourself," Edward stared at him cautiously,
waiting to see how he would react.
"Tiana? Is it possible?!" Rain shook his head. He felt a chill run down his spine, this was so strange.
"I have no idea. You should ask yourself. Besides you, did your mother give birth to another child? A
daughter?" Edward peered at Rain in confusion as Rain had never discussed anything like that with
him.
"Yes, she did, but a nurse said that the baby died as soon as she was born. That was why my mother
became depressed and never recovered her health. She could not bear such a blow," Rain felt he
could not breathe as he remembered that awful night, and his face darkened with a heaviness he had
carried since childhood.
"It seems that the nurse told a lie, so now, finally, we find out the truth," Edward considered that there
must have been a conspiracy involved.
"Have you found anything else that's useful?" Rain had never thought his younger sister, whom he had
viewed as dead, could still be alive and out in the world; neither had he imagined she would reappear
in his life, in such a strange way.
"Hmm! The documents state that Sheena wasn't pregnant at all, at that time. In fact, she lied, saying
that she was pregnant once again, in order to make her unfaithful husband come back home. Sanford
believed her, left your mother and went back to the Ke Family. As the due date was approaching,
Sheena had to find a baby and pretend it was hers. Therefore, she asked her acquaintance at the
hospital to look for a newborn with humble background, so that she could gloss over her lie," Edward
sketched the information he had received while staring at Rain, deeply worried.
"Then her acquaintance targeted my mother, because she was a parturient with humble background.
More importantly, she had no relative by her side except a young son, Right? And I could not protect
her..." Rain felt that he had not mistaken by hating Sheena for all these years. Indeed it had been she
who had caused the depression and eventual death of his mother. She was evil incarnate!
"Yes, but she could never imagine that the newborn, which the nurse gave her, was given birth to by
your mother. In other words, for so many years, she has had no idea that the daughter she has raised
is the biological child of the woman she hated to the core," Edward added, completing the whole story.
He had always believed that such a drastic kind of plot could only appear in TV dramas, but to his
surprise, it had happened here, in real life.
"How could that be? Boss, could you believe such a clumsy story, if it happens to you?" Rain felt it was
inconceivable! A few days ago, Tiana had wanted to leave and tried to say farewell. She had said that
there was no reason for her to remain as she was no closer to finding out who she really was. Annie
had eventually been able to convince her to stay with them until after the Spring Festival passed.
"But these are the facts, because The Mayfly has never given me incorrect information," Edward said
affirmatively while holding Rain's gaze, not allowing him to escape from this harsh reality.
"That means, my younger sister is still alive, and that she has been brought up by our enemy, right?"
Rain supported himself with both hands gripping the desk. He was severely shocked by such a
ludicrous turn of events.
"Yes. If you don't believe it, you can take Tiana's DNA for confirmation," Edward said. Although he now
knew for certain that the newborn Sheena had adopted was indeed the daughter given birth to by
Rain's mother, he could not be sure that she had not changed the baby again at some point.
"Wait a minute. I think I need some time to digest this news," Rain's mind was in turmoil. When a
person he had viewed as dead for more than twenty years suddenly appeared in front of him in such a
way, he felt very unsettled, and his brain was rushing to catch up. Hence he was confused.
"In fact, I think you should feel grateful, because your younger sister is now very likely still alive, and
she is Tiana. In my opinion, it is Sheena who should feel unhappy at this moment; because she has
never known that she brought your younger sister to the Ke Family as her child. In trying to prevent you
from becoming part of the Ke Family, she has loved and cared for your sister, the daughter of her
enemy for many years!" Edward said with a cold smile, as if he could envision Sheena being stricken
numb by the news right there in his office.
"You're right. She treated Tiana quite well in the past, though she has been cruel to her recently," Rain
was suddenly uplifted by Edward's words. After all, it was he who benefited from the news. He had a
sister now.
"It's good for you to think this calmly, but why didn't you mention that your mother had a girl child
before, to us?" Edward asked the question again, as he was surprised that Rain hadn't said anything
about having a sister before, and he was still struggling with its implications.
"Do you think it is necessary that I mention everything from my past?" Rain's mind was in a state of
contradiction. He was both excited and sad. He felt excited because his younger sister turned out to
still be alive; while he felt sad because his mother had died because of a vicious scheme that had
broken her heart when she had still been so very young.
"Yeah. Then, do you have any plans?" Edward didn't think Rain would leave the matter at that.
"What plans can I have? Tiana has broken off all relations with the Ke Family; so, considering the fact
that they have raised Tiana for more than twenty years, I won't call them to account, as long as they
don't make trouble for us, for the time being. But if they are not sensible, I will destroy them
completely," Rain spoke calmly about his options after a moment's contemplation.
"Wow! You've matured a lot, to be able to think so calmly and logically," Edward could not help but
applaud, liking Rain's idea. After all, most often there was nothing more valuable than a family union.
"That's enough! Don't make fun of me," Rain said. Since he had believed that Tiana was the daughter
of the Ke Family, there was no real change in his affection for her, now that he knew she was actually
his own sister. After all, the only difference was her mother, but her father was still Sanford Ke. It was
easy for Rain to accept the fact, as nothing had really changed.
