"And what about me?"

Song Qingwan's voice lowered: "I have to hide like a rat in a gutter, carefully calculating every step, afraid that one day I'll be brought back to square one..."

Song Shurou looked at her, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She remembered the last time she saw Song Qingwan was when Gu Chengyu suddenly stood her up on the blind date.

Back then, when Song Qingwan came to her, she would directly discuss with her how to deal with potential competitors Shen Nian'an and Lin Shu, who were vicious and ruthless, just as she had expected.

But Lin Shu collapsed too quickly.

As for Shen Nian'an, that Shen was indeed very protective of her younger sister, personally overseeing all important events, so there was no opportunity to make a move.

But this time, she didn't seem to hate him; instead, she seemed to envy him.

Song Shurou deliberately probed, "Wanwan, don't worry. Even if you can't marry into the Gu family, you've at least been in the Song family for so many years..."

Song Qingwan interrupted her, her voice panicked: "I'm just worried, I'm afraid of losing everything I have now, afraid of not being able to practice the piano, afraid of being harassed!"

“Song Qingzhi only has eyes for Song Shuhua. He spoils her without any principles. If he knew that I am not his biological daughter, but the child you secretly switched back then, would he still give me a second glance? Would I still have a place in the Song family?”

"And Song Shuhua, if she knew that my biological mother killed her daughter, she would take revenge on me like a madwoman."

"Her love was never for me, but for her own daughter."

Her voice rose with emotion, revealing the deepest fears and twisted roots of her being.

She desperately needed to marry Gu Chengyu, simply to secure a safe way out for herself.

Even if one day the truth comes out and she is kicked out of the Song family, and suffers revenge from Song Qingzhi and Song Shuhua, as long as she is the esteemed young mistress of the Gu family, she will not be too miserable.

Song Shurou appeared frightened and speechless for a moment, but she was secretly pleased.

Song Qingwan took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and her eyes regained their firmness.

She told herself, "So, I still have a long road ahead. If I can't take care of my family, I need to find other options." (This chapter is now complete. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
