Chapter 808: Second Cousin Gu Is So Handsome And Charming (4)
That’s right!
Even now, many people did not have enough food and clothing, much less twenty years ago.
No one wanted girls then. They were extremely biased against girls.
It would be a miracle if a girl who had been abandoned in a little place like that survived.
“Then… how did Gu Qingyao turn up?”
She and Gu Qingyao appeared to be twins, but if her real older sister was living with the Bai family, who was Gu Qingyao?
Zhang Xiaohui said indifferently, “Who knows? Anyway, I didn’t give birth to her. I only just had time to carry your older sister away. It was an urgent matter, and I didn’t have time to think it through. I just did it.
“When I got back, I found Gu Yunshen in my room and two girls on my bed. He was playing with Gu Qingyao. Everyone in the hospital knew that I had given birth to twins, so there was no concealing the fact. Now there were two children in the room, and Gu Yunshen had seen them, so I just played along and let them bring Gu Qingyao home and treat her as one of their children.”
Gu Ruoqing was stunned, then delighted. She clutched at Zhang Xiaohui, her whole body quivering in excitement. “Then… Mother, are you saying that Gu Qingyao doesn’t actually belong to the Gu family?”
Zhang Xiaohui said, “Of course. Who knows where that bastard came from? Probably someone else gave birth to her and didn’t want her because she’s a girl. Only an idiot like Gu Yunshen would treasure her and raise her for so many years.”
“Hahaha!” Gu Ruoqing laughed loudly in excitement. She could not contain her delight!
“That’s great! That’s great hahaha! That means Gu Qingyao doesn’t belong to the Gu family. She’s just an unwanted bastard, right?”
Zhang Xiaohui thought about it and said, “Right!”
Gu Ruoqing said eagerly, “Mother, why don’t we use this to threaten Gu Qingyao? Ask her to give us money, the best accommodations, and servants to wait on us. Otherwise, we will tell the Gu family that she doesn’t belong to them. Then the Gu family will kick her out, and she can’t be the Gu family’s young lady any longer. Hahahaha!”
Zhang Xiaohui’s eyes brightened. “That’s right! That’s a good idea. Tomorrow, I’ll ask around and find out where the Gu family lives.”
That night, Zhang Xiaohui was extremely excited and only fell asleep past midnight.
As for Gu Ruoqing, she had a restless night.
On one hand, she was happy that she could soon live like a rich person. Her older sister was so amazing and came from such a wealthy family. She would certainly have a lot of money.
On the other hand, as she thought about what had happened, she began to feel bitter.
They were twins and they shared the same mother. Why should she be the one to suffer for so many years, grow up in the countryside, and marry so many old men in order to survive until this day, while Bai Youran grew up in a wealthy family and enjoyed the best in life?
If she had been exchanged, she would be a rich young lady now. She would not need to suffer so much.
The more she thought about it, the more Gu Ruoqing felt that Zhang Xiaohui and Bai Youran owed her something.
But when she thought about how Gu Qingyao would soon be forced to leave the Gu family and wander the streets, she felt incredibly excited!

After the new year, the weather slowly grew warmer!
School had started, but Ji Mingyue’s circumstances were special. The Ji family in the capital wanted her to remain there.
Ji Mingzhe thought remaining in the capital was best for his younger sister. Although her grandparents lived in the provincial capital, the Ji family would certainly remain in the capital in the future. He and his father were both advancing in the capital. He only had one younger sister, and he could not bear to have her marry someone faraway in the provincial capital.
