New Delhi, Aug. 2 -- In China, a brother and sister fighting over a Rs.3.6-crore inheritance took a bizarre turn. They found out by accident that neither of them was the real child of their late parents.

The father, Sun from Tianjin, died in March and left the house to his son. He had also written that the son should give fair compensation to their adopted daughter. Both were loved equally, he said.

"Our daughter is adopted, but we have always treated her as our own. In our later years, it was our son who took care of us. We gave the house to him, and he intends to compensate his sister. We hope you two can get along like true siblings," the South China Morning Post quoted the father as saying in his statement.
