“Nonsense, you will always be our daughter!” Mrs. An looked at An Toutou with a grave face, then patted her hand and patiently consoled her for a long time, “You never thought to be switched at birth either, it’s not something you could decide, what fault do you have? It’s simply a twist of fate.”
She had invested a lot of effort into this daughter, raising her according to her preferences—with a cuteness that far exceeded the aloofness of Ye Shaohua.
Mrs. An felt a tinge of guilt thinking about this; she and Mr. An had been busy when Toutou and Tingjun were young, indeed not having much time to manage them.
“The Go club called asking why Toutou hasn’t arrived yet.” Uncle Yao, having experienced the earlier awkwardness, felt somewhat at a loss on how to face the An family and Ye Shaohua now, thankfully Ye Shaohua had left.
“Keep it up,” he encouraged An Toutou, “you can definitely represent the country in the competition and bring honor to our nation.”
This was much less perfunctory than usual.
“Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Mom,” An Toutou said, her heart full of gratitude.
Mrs. An smiled, pleased; such chess talent was indeed fitting for her daughter.
An Toutou got into the car for the competition, opened her phone, and replied to a friend’s message, and after a long while, she received a reply.
——[Who was that who stayed at the An’s last night? I heard old Mr. An is going to throw a big banquet for her, she just got back and already showing you who’s boss? Speaking of that, her gaze is quite short-sighted, rushing back so eagerly, who doesn’t see her wild ambitions? After all, she was raised by an ordinary family, not fit for high society. Bring her out sometime, let her see the world.]
Reading this message, An Toutou took a deep breath after a long pause, grateful that her friends were still on her side.
But of course, even without the identity of the An family, she was emerging as a talent in the Go world.
Not like Ye Shaohua—if she didn’t have the An family, she truly would have nothing left.
**
In the following half a month, Ye Shaohua accompanied her grandmother sightseeing around the city before she saw her off.
The detective hired by Mr. An suddenly discovered that he lost Ye Shaohua every day—a one-time accident could be dismissed, but it happened every time, and the detective, who previously didn’t care much about this young lady who returned to the An family midway, now couldn’t afford not to take it seriously.
He was one of the top detectives in Hua Country, having helped the police to track down mafia bosses without being detected.
Now, he was undetected by a young girl, and it was at this moment he realized Miss Ye was no ordinary person.
He immediately packed his things, sent the photos of Ye Shaohua and her grandmother to Mr. An, and declared he would no longer follow her.
Mr. An received the photos passed by his assistant, the Ye Shaohua in them seemed like a different person from the one he knew.
Her soft, light smile was too similar to Mrs. An when she was young.
If not for the mix-up at birth, she would definitely be as outstanding as Mrs. An used to be.
Meanwhile.
The National Research Institute.
“Big brother, I just saw the computer restart the algorithm again, has the prodigy come again, where is she? Usually, Brother Pei is the one to contact the prodigy, I must bask in the prodigy’s aura!” a crew-cut lad ran out of the lab.
Mo Yunchuan was leaning against the wall with a cigarette pinched between his fingers, his posture refined, the contradictory aristocratic grace and defiance entwined around him.
Making him appear very mysterious.
Hearing this, he nodded towards a certain direction with his chin.
The crew-cut lad glanced over, and for a brief moment, he was stunned upon seeing the graceful and exceptional young woman; could it be that the person who developed the groundbreaking algorithm was not only a girl but such a young one?
“Brother Mo, I’ll be leaving first.” After Ye Shaohua gave a few instructions, she came over to say goodbye to Mo Yunchuan, the project leader, and since she learned that Mo Yunchuan was a junior at University Beijing, she followed the crowd and addressed him as Brother Mo.

“I’ll walk you…” Mo Yunchuan hadn’t finished his sentence when someone called for him.
When he turned back again, Ye Shaohua had already left.
“Third Young Master, I knew I’d find you here.” The arrival was a youth in a business suit who greeted Mo Yunchuan politely and with formality, but before he could finish, Mo Yunchuan stamped out his cigarette and followed after her.
“Mayor Shen, do you want to take a break?” the crew-cut lad asked the young man in a low voice.
The latter appeared thoughtful as he looked in the direction Mo Yunchuan had gone, then hurriedly left, “No, I need to catch up with him.”
After the young man left, the people in the lab gathered around the crew-cut lad in surprise.
There was someone whose behavior in those circles was quite strange, “That was Deputy Mayor Shen just now, the youngest mayor in Imperial City. I’ve heard long ago that his grandfather was a founding General and his maternal grandfather was the highest-level executive officer. In Imperial City, he practically walks sideways with authority, so how can he be so polite to Brother Mo? Who exactly is Brother Mo? Why would he be in our small laboratory? And I haven’t even heard of him in our circles.”
Normally, someone who Deputy Mayor Shen treats with such respect wouldn’t be so unknown as a mere Researcher.
Upon hearing this, the flat-headed youth glanced at them and gave a restrained smile, “Oh, the reporters don’t want to die, who dares to report on him. As for the circles he frequents, even Deputy Mayor Shen can’t squeeze into those. Is that clear enough for you?”
The circles within Imperial City were also ranked in hierarchy.
Unaware of being the subject of scrutiny, Mo Yunchuan had already caught up with Ye Shaohua and brought her to the bar street in Imperial City.
The car stopped outside Yese.
“Thank you, Brother Mo,” Ye Shaohua said, entering a bar that seemed somewhat alien to her.
Mo Yunchuan, sitting in the car, frowned slightly. He wanted to say something but had no place to, and could only watch helplessly as she entered.
At the same time, he received a message on his phone with information about her.
Ye Shaohua was invited to this bar by An Toutou, as a gesture to familiarize Ye Shaohua with their circle, which An’s parents thought was very considerate, even instructing Ye Shaohua to get along well with the people in the circle.
By the time Ye Shaohua arrived, almost everyone else was already there.
This group was made up of either rich second generations or powerful second generations, but it was obvious that Pei Xu was at the center.
“Is this the one?” a girl beside An Toutou asked in R Language, “She comes to a bar and asks for a soft drink?”
“She just pushed aside an ’88 vintage wine, does she even know the wine she casually dismissed is worth two hundred thousand?” another man said, shaking his head slightly, also in R Language.
Everyone knew that she was a daughter recognized halfway through her life, and the An Family hadn’t even changed her surname.
At a glance, it seemed she really couldn’t hold her own in society.
They knew Ye Shaohua was from an ordinary family; being able to speak English alone would be good for her, unlike them, who were trained from childhood and could each master two or three foreign languages. So, they thought she couldn’t understand them.
Especially when they finished speaking and Ye Shaohua’s face showed no change, they became even more unbridled.
An Tingjun was also there, sitting to the side, with no intention of helping Ye Shaohua out of the situation.
The others chatted animatedly in foreign languages, leaving Ye Shaohua sitting alone on the side, ignored like an idiot.
“Alright, that’s enough from you,” Pei Xu said, glancing at her quiet seat in the corner. Her serene demeanor matched the description others gave of her as a wasteful spender, her T-shirt at best worth a hundred.
Pei Xu swept his eyes over the people at the table, his words carrying some weight, “Going back three generations, who didn’t start out this way?”
This sentence was not spoken in the national language either.
Most of the group feared Pei Xu. After his comment, none dared to say anything excessive. Seeing Ye Shaohua’s bowed head, they figured she must have realized the gap between herself and the circle, not even bothering to tease her anymore.
Instead, they turned to playing Truth or Dare.
An Toutou, however, clung to Pei Xu’s arm, “Sister, everyone was just saying how beautiful you are, no offense meant, right, Pei Xu?”
Pei Xu effortlessly withdrew his arm, his good upbringing showing no trace of discomfort, “Let’s continue the game, I’m going to the restroom for a smoke.”
“What’s with Pei Xu?” Seeing him leave with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, people who did not know the truth asked each other in hushed tones.
Only An Toutou’s face, for some reason, suddenly looked very bad.
“It’s nothing,” An Toutou said with a forced, pale smile.
Seeing Pei Xu leave, An Tingjun glanced at An Toutou and frowned, then followed Pei Xu out.
“Axu,” An Tingjun found Pei Xu in the restroom hallway, “you and my sister have had a marriage arrangement since childhood, set by our grandfather. After that incident with the girl who was supposedly my biological sister, you guys put the engagement party on hold.”
At this point, An Tingjun looked at Pei Xu, “Axu, you guys aren’t thinking of switching the marriage arrangement, are you?”
Pei Xu lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, and with a somewhat deep look in his eyes, he responded to An Tingjun, “When Grandfather An arranged the marriage with my grandfather, it should have been Miss Ye, shouldn’t it?”
“That’s different!” An Tingjun quickly retorted, “You saw just now, she’s like a joke listening to us talk, she knows nothing, let alone the etiquette of business dealings. How could such a woman face society if she were to marry in? The banquets are not like this gathering, if she were to attend, it would only attract enmity towards the Pei Family; she’s simply not of the same world as us, how could she fill the role of the Pei Family’s matriarch? But my sister is different, she has common ground with you, you yourself said that she knows what you’re thinking, she and you are a perfect match.”
