It was only then that Su Ying remembered Aunt Zhang, an important witness.

However, the contact information she had previously obtained for Aunt Zhang was completely unreachable.

In a moment of panic, Su Ying rushed to Aunt Zhang's house, only to find the door locked and no one home.

Su Ying asked her neighbors and learned that Aunt Zhang had gone on a trip, but no one knew where she had gone.

Su Ying froze on the spot, then turned and rushed to her grandmother's courtyard, banging on the door. When the door opened, a stranger was inside. Before Su Ying's distorted face could recover, some young people recognized her, "Hey, you're Su Ying, right?"

Su Ying was stunned. What was going on? Wasn't this the house where her grandmother and Wen Shu lived? How come the people in it had changed?

Why are you here?

The other party smiled and said, "Oh, we'll buy this house."

"You bought it?"

So, Grandma sold the house?

Su Ying was stunned. Why sell the house? Back then, she wanted to improve her own situation and find investors. No matter how much she tried to persuade her grandmother to sell the house, her grandmother would disagree.

How did the old woman sell the house now? And she was completely unaware of it.

The young man looked at Su Ying with a smile, taking out his phone to take a photo with her, and said, "We were just talking about you, and I didn't expect you to come knocking on our door."

Su Ying glanced at the young man's phone screen and saw the hottest gossip.

Su Ying was so angry that she saw stars. She didn't have time to care about her expression and turned to leave in a hurry.

She hadn't walked far when she was spotted by other elderly women in the neighborhood, who suddenly asked, "Are you here to see Aunt Qin again?"

The older people in the neighborhood didn't recognize Su Ying, but someone had seen her visiting her grandmother before, so they kindly asked her about it.

Su Ying hurriedly pushed up her sunglasses and forced a smile, "Mm."

"They moved away, you definitely won't find them now. Why didn't they tell you?"

Su Ying gave an awkward laugh and was about to leave when she heard an old lady say, "Your relative is quite something. She was just a useless old woman like us a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, she's become a rich heiress!"

Su Ying was taken aback. "Amazing? Who's amazing? Are you talking about Wen Shu?"

The old lady replied, "Of course not. We're talking about the eldest daughter, Wen Shu's maternal grandmother. We've been neighbors with Aunt Qin our whole lives, and we only recently found out that she's actually a heiress from a wealthy family."

"She lived in this place for so many years in search of her relatives. Later, they actually came looking for her, and she was reunited with her sisters. Now, she has sold the house and I heard she has moved to a big villa!"

Su Ying froze on the spot. "You mean, Wen Shu's maternal grandmother is a rich heiress?"

The old lady said, "That's right. This story has been all over our neighborhood for a long time. Aunt Qin is the second young lady of the Li family in Beicheng. I heard that she went missing when she was young. Her twin sister was found and returned, but she was left to wander outside."

“She was young then. Although she knew she was lost, she couldn’t find her way back and had forgotten many things. So many years have passed, and people came to her door in person. The two sisters hugged each other and cried. We saw it with our own eyes.”

Several elderly women vividly recounted the scene of the day they recognized each other, and lamented how lucky they were to be so fortunate, while they themselves were not.

They were both old ladies, but one of them transformed into the eldest daughter of the Li family, and a senior member at that. All the important figures in the Li family had to treat her with utmost respect.

The old ladies in the neighborhood are quite envious; at least they'll be financially secure for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, some things are better left unseen.

Su Ying felt like she was dreaming, and she was completely stunned.

The Li family? Is it the Li family she thought it was? Is it Li Duo's Li family? How could it be? How could it be!

That old woman was actually the second young lady of the Li family, and a second young lady from the older generation!

Why was she always the last to know these things? Why, despite her arduous efforts to find a powerful family to rely on, could she never find one?

And those things she didn't want, looked down on, or didn't care about eventually became things she could only dream of but never reach.

How did that old woman, who was worthless and penniless in her eyes, suddenly become the second young lady of the Li family?

When Su Ying left, she was completely dazed. Why was she so unlucky? Why did she always seem to be a step too late, a step too slow?

She even went to great lengths to reunite with her relatives, hoping that these new kin would bring her more support. And what was the result?

Why is she trying to claim kinship? If she had just clung to her grandmother back then, she would have everything she needs now.

Su Ying covered her face in the car, feeling as if she were being slapped repeatedly. She was angry and anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

She hated, she was angry, she was furious, she felt utterly powerless, yet there was nothing she could do.

Su Ying sat in the car, her mind still preoccupied with Lin Jingyu's wedding today.

Since she couldn't get in touch with Lin Jingyu, she knew where Lin Jingyu was getting married. She could just go to the wedding location and she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to see Lin Jingyu.

She refused to believe that the Lin family could control everything.

She was thinking to herself that since she had already offended her grandmother, it didn't matter; she could just stay with her daughter from now on.

As long as she can win over Lin Jingyu, she believes she will get what she deserves.

After all, given her grandmother's terrible character, even if she had money, she probably wouldn't share it with her. Thinking this way, Su Ying felt much better.

Just as Su Ying was instructing the driver to head to the wedding location, she suddenly received a call from Zhong Tingsong.

On the phone, Zhong Tingsong asked angrily, "Where are you now? What have you done today?"

Su Ying was taken aback and asked, "What did I do? What do you mean by that?"

Zhong Tingsong gritted his teeth and said, "I know everything you've done, and you're still pretending? Are you crazy? Are you tired of living a good life? Why do you have to stir up trouble instead of enjoying a peaceful one?"

Su Ying naturally refused to admit it. She guessed that the news on the internet had reached Zhong Tingsong's ears. She hadn't written those things herself, and Su Ying felt that as long as she pretended not to know anything, there was nothing Zhong Tingsong could do.

"I don't know what you're talking about. What exactly are you trying to say? I have other things to do right now."

Zhong Tingsong said, "I'm asking you, is Lin Jingyu really your daughter?"

Su Ying was clearly guilty. As soon as she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, and then said bluntly, "Honey, you believe all that stuff online? It's all nonsense. Those people can't find any other news, so they just make things up. I've already notified the lawyers to prepare a lawyer's letter!"

Her words did not dispel Zhong Tingsong's doubts. Zhong Tingsong's voice on the phone was very impolite, "Come back and explain yourself to me in person!"

Before Su Ying could speak again, Zhong Tingsong hung up the phone.
