However, when they came to do the test, they all said they were raised at the orphanage, even though none of them were.
Some even had parents and came from a normal family. The real orphans were only a handful. They all lied about something to fit the criteria. It could be written off as greed if there were isolated cases, but when it was every single one of them, something must be going on!
If Xinghe didn't meet up with Ee Chen that day, she probably wouldn't know what their purpose was. But she did, and she saw through their ploy easily. This was all to cover up suspicions against the He Lan family. They shifted the focus away from the orphanage.
He Lan Qi almost got Xinghe and the rest fooled with this sinister plan of his. He must have thought if the search turned out no results, they would give up and leave. He didn't foresee Ee Chen's appearance or that Xinghe would personally go through these women's background.
