Li Xinya took the chance when no one was paying attention to secretly call out Chu Huan,
"Sister Huan, I eavesdropped last night and heard that my brother has already submitted a marriage application with Gu Nianyang. They’re going to get their marriage license soon!"
Chu Huan’s face turned pale upon hearing this news, "How could it be so soon?
No, we can’t let them get married. What about if they do? Xinya, you have to help . You promised I’d be your Saozi. You have to help !"
Li Xinya was troubled, "How can I help? I have no standing in the family, and besides, my parents don’t favor you as much as before."
Chu Huan cried, "Xinya, you must help , at least help stop them from getting their certificate. I’ll try my best to think of a way."
Li Xinya, being righteous and indeed not wanting Nianyang as her Saozi—especially since her mom now treasures Nianyang—feared losing her place when Nianyang married in, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
However, Chu Huan had little hope in Li Xinya, considering her a simpleton and returned to the Chu Family in despair.
She happened to see Aunt Dong, who had claid to be visiting the hospital nearby but had returned to stay at the Chu house for a few days, tinkering with sothing in the kitchen, and instinctively spoke,
"Aunt Dong, what are you doing?"
Aunt Dong turned around in a panic, "Miss Chu, I’m not doing anything."
Seeing her actions, Chu Huan’s expression turned serious,
"What do you have in your hand? What are you putting into the old master’s bowl?"
Seeing she couldn’t conceal it, Aunt Dong pulled Chu Huan into her own room, with Chu Huan irritably saying,
"Don’t touch . As a re servant, do you think you can touch ?"
Once Aunt Dong confird no one was outside, she looked at Chu Huan and said,
"Miss Chu, I’ll be honest with you. You are actually not the daughter of the Chu Family..."
Chu Huan felt as though a nerve was struck, "I know I’m not the Chu family’s daughter, I don’t need a servant like you to remind !"
Aunt Dong gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Chu, you are actually the daughter of the Jiang Family, one of the three major families in Pingjing’s real estate industry. Your adoption by the Chu Family was all orchestrated by !"
Chu Huan was stunned, "What did you say?"
Aunt Dong explained gently, "Eighteen years ago, you were born from the Jiang family’s matriarch. The Jiang family specializes in playing with Gu, cultivating and researching various Gu creatures.
They were too prominent and were being watched from the outside, so they turned their focus to the female descendants.
Every daughter born into the Jiang Family is used as a human test subject for their Gu Poison experints, subjected to tornt until death.
I was the housekeeper for the Jiang family’s matriarch. She couldn’t bear to see you beco a plaything, so she asked to take you away. At the ti, the Jiang family searched everywhere for you.
I was afraid I couldn’t hide you, so I assud a new identity and worked as a servant for the Chu Family. During the ti when the Chu Family mbers fled with their daughter, they marked a safe place, but I secretly switched the markers, so they never found the Chu daughter.
That’s how I managed to bring you to the Chu Family. Yunrou had just lost her daughter, and out of pity, she adopted you. Outsiders believe you are the Chu family’s daughter, ensuring that the Jiang family never discovers your identity!"
Chu Huan was dumbstruck by this explosive news, unable to regain her composure for a long ti.
She had once fantasized about her origins, but never imagined that her adoption by the Chu Family was a setup from the start, and the real Chu daughter died because of her.
