“Ever since she came back, her father got jailed, and the fake heiress was chased out of the Zhu family, too. Look what she’s done, she’s nothing but a curse.”

Gu Qingshan listened as Mrs. Gu was gossiping on the phone with a friend in her bedroom. That Ms. Zhu was the topic of conversation in almost every line, and he couldn’t help but ponder over it.

“Sir.” His secretary waited downstairs.

Gu Qingshan came downstairs, and the secretary hurriedly approached him, saying, “Sir, Zhou Ling has sent someone to ask for your help, do you want to save her?”

Gu Qingshan’s face turned cold: “Don’t let her talk nonsense.”

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. The secretary’s heart shuddered, and he nodded, “I understand.”

Zhou Ling had offended someone she shouldn’t have and was now abandoned. Gu Qingshan would no longer protect her.

To prevent her from causing chaos inside, there were countless ways to silently make her disappear.

“Make it clean, without a trace,” Gu Qingshan reminded.

Zhu Mingjing… Gu Qingshan savored the name, envisioning the graceful figure of the young girl as well as her calm and beautiful face. It was truly alluring.

However, she belonged to Jiang Chunlan – at least for now – so there was no room for thoughtlessness yet.

“What a pity,” he muttered.

As if recalling something, Gu Qingshan asked, “Has Qu Feitai been found?” The secretary nodded, “He’s been found.”

Gu Qingshan sighed in relief, “That’s good. At the very least, Qu Feitai can’t meet a mishap on Jiangzhou territory. When is this guest leaving?” “We don’t know yet. The Qus have sent people to protect him.”

“You find someone to keep an eye on him, too. It’s better to not have incidents like these again.”

The car stopped in front of an aging apartment building.

Although Zhu Xiangxiang had braced herself, she was still shocked by the scene before her.

The mottled and weathered walls, the piles of electric scooters and bicycles by the entrance, the chaotic mass of electricity and network cables, the overflowing garbage bins, the litter of fruit peels and kitchen waste on the ground, and the nauseating stench that they emitted…

Zhu Xiangxiang almost wanted to cover her face and flee on the spot.

As they were going upstairs, they encountered a middle-aged woman coming down to throw out the trash. She greeted Zhao Xiaohui warmly, “Xiaohui, you’re back! How has Yangyang been?”

Her gaze fell on Zhu Xiangxiang’s face, and she was momentarily stunned,

“Who is this?”

Zhao Xiaohui immediately smiled, “This is my daughter, my biological daughter. Do you remember the one I mentioned before? The daughter I gave away when she was still young. We have recently found her and brought her back home with me.”

The woman exclaimed with surprise, “Congratulations! Your daughter is so beautiful and clearly very smart.”

Seeing the young girl’s elegant appearance and delicate skin, it was apparent that she did not grow up in a poor family. Would she be willing to endure hardship with Zhao Xiaohui? There must be more to this story.

Zhao Xiaohui was even happier being praised for her daughter than herself,

“Yes, this child was fortunate to be raised in a wealthy family…”

“Stop talking!” Zhu Xiangxiang interrupted her impatiently, annoyed by how much their neighbor was revealing. Would Zhao Xiaohui end up disclosing the history of their entire family? Zhu Xiangxiang couldn’t stand her poking her raw wound over and over again. It was driving her mad.

Zhao Xiaohui said hastily, “Alright, I won’t say anymore. You must be hungry. Let’s go home and I’ll cook for you. Tang Sister, we’ll talk some other time.”

Finishing her sentence, she dragged Zhu Xiangxiang upstairs. Zhu Xiangxiang shook off her hand and continued up the stairs with a frustrated look on her face.

The woman watched them leave, shook her head, and returned to her apartment after throwing out the trash. She began to talk about the intriguing encounter, “Wanwan, guess what? Your Xiaohui aunt’s biological daughter is back! I just saw them upstairs, and Xiaohui’s daughter looks so delicate and elegant, a true pampered young miss. It’s not a daughter that Xiaohui brought back but an ancestor.’

Tang Wan, who was watching TV in the living room, paused, “What? Xiaohui has a daughter? Didn’t she only have a son that she treats like a precious pearl?” Tang Wan scoffed disapprovingly.

“I heard she got pregnant before marriage, and her mom secretly took the baby away and gave it to someone else. They only found her recently. Xiaohui mentioned that she was mistakenly taken in by a wealthy family and lived a lady’s life. These past few years, Xiaohui’s family has gone through thick and thin to provide medical treatment for Yangyang, spending all their money. They can’t afford that girl now, and there’s bound to be trouble in the future.”

“What do you mean, a mistake?” Tang Wan thought to herself, ‘Could it be such a coincidence?’

“That’s what Xiaohui said. You should’ve seen that girl’s stylish clothing and hair, and the jade bracelet on her wrist—it could be worth as much as a house.” Tang Wan immediately stood up, her brows furrowed.

“Mom, isn’t it strange that Xiaohui never mentioned this daughter before but is suddenly bringing her home now?”

“There’s nothing strange about that. She must’ve been secretly searching for her all these years and only just found her.”

“Isn’t Yangyang’s leukemia in need of a bone marrow transplant?”

“Yes. Xiaohui told me a few days ago, no one in their family is a match, and if they don’t perform the surgery soon, Yangyang won’t make it. She even said that it’s too bad they don’t have another child.”

As she spoke, the woman suddenly fell silent, her eyes widening in disbelief, “This is going to bring misfortune. Her daughter will never forgive her.”

Tang Wan smiled, “It’s all fate.”

In the evening, around five o’clock, Ming Jing prepared to go out.

Ming Ti and Ming Chen chased after her. Ming Chen grabbed onto Ming Jing’s skirt, begging pitifully.

“Ming Jing, please take me with you.”

Ming Jing glanced at the silent Ming Ti standing beside her.

Ming Ti’s head hung even lower. “Alright.”

Ming Chen beamed with happiness.

Ming Ti stared in surprise, ‘That was simple. Did Ming Jing have another trick up her sleeve?’

Without any obstacles, they arrived at a skyscraper in the city center.

Ming Chen shielded her eyes from the sunset, looking up at the towering building, murmuring, “Is this Shidai Square? It’s so tall.”

Ming Jing walked into the lobby, with Ming Chen and Ming Ti following closely behind, holding hands.

Zhao Qin, who had just gotten out of the car, stared at the trio with a start.

“Isn’t that Zhu Mingjing?” she asked.

The handsome man beside her raised his eyebrows with a smile, attracting the attention of many people nearby.

“The girl from the Zhu family?”

Zhao Qin shot him a glance and rolled her eyes.

A man’s lustfulness seemed to be universal, and her cousin was no exception.

“I’m tired of eating at The Grill House. I suddenly want to try something different..”
