Upon hearing her words, Ruan Ruan simply chuckled twice. She could also feel the gazes of those around her, as if they were telling them to mind their own business.

"Ha, Gu Jingxi, you're really something!!!" Ruan Ruan said through gritted teeth.

"What's wrong? Huo Haocheng, what happened?" Zheng Xuyang, who had just arrived, heard Ruan Ruan ask this question as soon as he walked over.

When he arrived, he didn't look into the crowd, but went straight to the parking area. He didn't see them in the car, but then he saw Huo Haocheng in the crowd. When he came over, he heard that it was rare to see this girl, who could handle even the most serious matters, speak in such a tone.

"It's nothing." Faced with his question, Ruan Ruan had nothing to say. She just thought he was meddling in her business. Without even glancing at the person on the ground, she pulled Huo Haocheng away.

Seeing that they had left, Zheng Xuyang had no choice but to follow them.

After they drove away, the onlookers began to disperse.

In the past, as concerned citizens, they might have tried to persuade her, but now, after what happened to Ruan Ruan, they didn't even want to watch. It was better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she were injured or killed by her mother-in-law, and the police came knocking, she would tell them that it was because they didn't stop her that she was beaten like this by her mother-in-law. Then they would really have no way to explain themselves.

On the way back, Ruan Ruan became angrier and angrier. Her 18 years of upbringing had almost reached its peak.

"What exactly happened just now?" Seeing that Huo Haocheng remained silent and Ruan Ruan kept sulking, Zheng Xuyang had no choice but to ask himself.

“I’ve never seen anyone like her. She has no backbone at all. I really doubt whether she’s a member of the Gu family or not. I’m a country girl who grew up in the countryside, and I’m better than her, who grew up in a prestigious family in the capital. She’s more like a country girl than me. She’s really not presentable.”

Hearing Ruan Ruan's words, Zheng Xuyang and Huo Haocheng were both stunned. This person really gets angry and won't even spare them.

"Well, little sister, the things you've learned since you were little are things that those aristocratic families can't even touch. So, you're much better than them. Don't talk about yourself like that. If Grandpa and Master heard that, they would be heartbroken."

Before, Huo Haocheng didn't know and let others call her a country bumpkin. But now that he knows, he can't stand it anymore. What country bumpkin learns medicine from a miracle doctor from a young age? What country bumpkin gets a license to practice both traditional Chinese and Western medicine at 16? Besides, with her current achievements, who would dare call her a country bumpkin in front of her?

“I didn’t mean it that way, I was just really angry! Besides, I didn’t say anything wrong. She was educated from a young age, you know. My maternal grandmother’s family was a true scholarly family. Even if she hadn’t been influenced by my grandmother from a young age, if she had learned anything from my aunt, she wouldn’t have said such a thing today.”

Hearing Huo Haocheng praise her was quite pleasing, and what he said was true. Having grown up with her grandfather and master, her skills were recognized by them. Someone like Gu Jingxi, it wasn't that she looked down on her, but she really wasn't even worthy of carrying her shoes.

After Huo Haocheng's interruption, she calmed down, recalled Gu Jingxi's appearance earlier, and then thought about Gu Jinghe and Xiaoming. She didn't resemble them at all.

"Hey, do you think Gu Jingxi might not mention that she's her uncle's child? Could she have been switched at birth?" After figuring it out, she suddenly turned to look at Huo Haocheng and Zheng Xuyang with a bit of excitement.

"Why do you have such thoughts?" Based on their understanding of her, she wouldn't make unfounded assumptions unless she discovered something.

"Think about it. Judging from Gu Jingxi's behavior just now, if she were really a child of the Gu family, how could she not have any of the Gu family's integrity? If she had any backbone, after the Xiao family treated her badly, she would have filed for divorce. When she came back, would her uncle and the others have kicked her out? Didn't you say before that her uncle had Gu Jinghe tell her to get a divorce and go home if she couldn't stand it anymore? But what did she do? And most importantly, didn't you all notice that she doesn't resemble the Gu brothers, Gu Jinghe and Gu Jingming, at all? I just compared her with her uncle's family in my mind, and there's not a single similarity."

"Take me for example. If I stand with my brothers, you can tell we're related at a glance. But if you put her with Gu Jinghe and the others, they're completely unrelated people!"

The more she talked about it, the more she felt that this was true.

After her analysis, the two of them felt that it made some sense. They also had brothers and sisters, and when they stood together, it was obvious that they were siblings. However, they really couldn't see any similarities between Gu Jingxi and Gu Jinghe.

"So what do we do now? Are you going to tell your uncle and the others?"

If her guess is true, then where did the child her aunt gave birth to go? Twenty years have passed, and now trying to find out is like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Yes, should she tell them? Or, since they've already severed ties with Gu Jingxi, she doesn't want to go through the trouble of doing anything unnecessary.

However, if they don't say anything, given Gu Jingxi's tendency to court disaster, she might one day cause unnecessary trouble for her uncle and the others.

"Why don't you go and talk to your uncle, or you can talk to Gu Jinghe? In any case, I think it's best to first confirm that Gu Jingxi is really not the Gu family's biological daughter, and then completely sever ties with her before slowly searching for her. What do you think?"

Anyway, she would never bother with Gu Jingxi's affairs again, no matter what. She was just afraid that in this city, they would run into each other all the time, and sooner or later, she would be suppressed by her in-laws and do something crazy.

"I agree with you. We can talk to Commander Gu first and ask him to investigate."

"Alright, I'll find some time to talk to the commander about it."

There's no other way; it's better to sacrifice yourself than others. Only by completely kicking out this disgusting thing can we feel at ease. Otherwise, even if we leave it alone, who knows when it might explode?

Because of this delay, it was already dark when they got home. They quickly made something to eat and went to bed.

The next morning, they rushed to where the children were staying to check the effectiveness of the medicine.

When they arrived, Uncle Kun and the others were already there, along with Lan Chaolin, who also wanted to see if the medicine Ruan Ruan had mentioned was really that miraculous.

After Ruan Ruan checked them all and confirmed that they had forgotten, she asked Uncle Kun and the others to take the children to the police station to have their names removed. They were all enrolled in a charity organization, and as for their names, they were free to decide for themselves. Their new lives were up to them.

Afterwards, they were given some money to cover the children's expenses during this period.
