Upon learning the DNA test results, the father used the news as an accusation, blaming his wife for infidelity – a claim she vehemently denied.

A Vietnamese father’s growing suspicion about his teenage daughter’s lack of resemblance to him or his wife, Hong, led to a shocking revelation — she was not his biological child. His doubts had been lingering for years, but it wasn’t until he insisted on a DNA test that the truth was confirmed , that Lan, the daughter, was not his biological child.

According to a report by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the revelation sent shockwaves through the family. Upon learning the DNA test results, the father used the news as an accusation, blaming his wife for infidelity – a claim she vehemently denied. The tension in the household escalated, with the father turning to excessive drinking and emotionally withdrawing from his family. Eventually, Hong, along with Lan, was compelled to leave their home and flee to Hanoi to escape the growing turmoil.

The story took an unexpected turn when Lan, while attending a new school, befriended a girl who not only shared her birthday but was also born in the same place. Their connection grew so strong that the friend’s mother planned a joint birthday celebration. However, when the friend’s mother saw Lan at the party, she was struck by how much Lan resembled her younger self.

This resemblance prompted the families to request a DNA test, which shockingly revealed that Lan and her friend had been swapped at birth.

According to the SCMP report, the discovery left both families in disbelief, and they are now trying to come to terms with the life-altering revelation. They have started spending time together as they try to figure out how to tell the girls the truth, but they are undecided about whether they will pursue legal action against the hospital responsible for the mix-up.

One online commenter compared the situation to a plot twist straight out of a Korean drama, saying, “The story is really thrilling, like the plot twists in the Korean TV drama Autumn in My Heart.”
