“And now we’ve finally reached the capital and discovered that Gu Qingyao has turned into a rich young girl. Look at her clothes and things and where she eats. How can I compare to her in any way? If I hadn’t left the Gu family, everything Gu Qingyao has would have been mine. Why didn’t you bring Gu Qingyao along?”
Zhang Xiaohui: “…”
Gu Qingyao was not her daughter. Why would she bring her along?
Gu Ruoqing was even more determined to leave when she saw that Zhang Xiaohui did not reply. She deeply resented Zhang Xiaohui for not divulging her secret even up to now.
Zhang Xiaohui spent a long time persuading her and made many promises, but Gu Ruoqing would not listen. In the end, Zhang Xiaohui had no choice but to tell Gu Ruoqing the truth.
She felt that since Bai Youran was a rich young lady and Gu Ruoqing would become her sister, then with Bai Youran’s help, Gu Ruoqing would be able to marry into a wealthy family and become a rich young woman.
Anyway, no one knew what they had done before they reached the capital. With Bai Youran’s help, Gu Ruoqing would certainly be able to enter the same social circle as all those rich young ladies in the capital.
But if she did as they had done in the past, and people in the capital got wind of it, it would be a completely different matter. She must not leave.
Gu Ruoqing was shocked by what she heard!
“You… what are you saying? The rich young girl we saw at the restaurant is my older sister? You gave birth to her?”
The news shocked Gu Ruoqing to the core. She could not accept it.
She had never imagined that her mother had a daughter like that who was so rich and so… unapproachable!
When Gu Ruoqing remembered what Bai Youran had looked like in the restaurant that day, she grew agitated. That was her older sister?
Zhang Xiaohui said, “I’m not very certain. That family’s surname was certainly Bai. I think the woman was called Zheng Min. You saw her too. She looks very like me. It’s probably her.
“We have to investigate carefully. Once we’re certain, we’ll go and acknowledge her. Your older sister is truly a rich young girl. With her, we will have no worries for the rest of our lives. We can eat at the Jin Jiang Restaurant every day.
“What is the Gu family? They cannot hold a candle to the Bai family. When we’re reunited with your older sister, perhaps the Bai family will take you in for her sake! I’ve heard that your older sister is the only girl in the Bai family, and they dote on her.”
Gu Ruoqing’s brain was ringing. It was too fantastic!
When she recovered, she was filled with delight. That was her own older sister, of course they could rely on her!
“Then… what happened to the other child? That family’s child? After we are reunited with my older sister, they will know that she’s not really their child. Will they look for their own daughter?”
Zhang Xiaohui looked smug when she heard that. “Of course she’s dead. How could I possibly keep her? How much food does it take to raise a child? And I’d have to wait on her too.
“Also, if she were to be discovered in the future, it would affect your older sister’s future.”
Gu Ruoqing’s eyes widened. “Dead? You killed the child?”
Zhang Xiaohui said, “I didn’t kill her, I just abandoned her. It was late at night and very cold. She probably froze to death.
“Anyway, in those times, no one would be willing to raise a female baby. Even if I abandoned her by the main road, no one would want her.”
Gu Ruoqing: “…”
