Xiao Ran gently embraced Su Yu from behind, sighed helplessly, and softly comforted her.

"How could she possibly be in my heart? You know how much I like you. I had no choice; my grandmother forced me to come here."

Xiao Ran felt somewhat helpless when he talked about this. The Xiao family is a large family, and now everyone is vying for the shares held by his grandmother, and everyone is trying their best to please her.

But his grandmother was particularly fond of Wen Lu. She declared that whoever could marry Wen Lu would receive five percent of her shares.

He was already engaged to Wen Lu, and it was through this relationship that he had the opportunity to get to know Wen Lu better. The other members of the Xiao family were also very envious of him.

But only she knew that Wen Lu was a stupid girl who was good for nothing except for being pretty.

Hearing Xiao Ran mention Old Madam Xiao, Su Yu's brows furrowed involuntarily. She had seen Old Madam Xiao during Xiao Ran's competition, and for some reason, Old Madam Xiao did not have a good impression of her. She even deliberately belittled her, belittling her as an adopted daughter who had no status.

She felt extremely wronged at the time. She was clearly the true daughter of the Wen family, but Wen Lu had taken her identity and she couldn't explain anything.

Su Yu grasped Xiao Ran's large hand, looked into Xiao Ran's eyes with a feigned aggrieved expression, and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking.

“Brother Xiao Ran, actually I… I am not the Wen family’s adopted daughter. I am the Wen family’s biological daughter. Wen Lu is the Wen family’s adopted daughter. She has no blood relation to my parents at all.”

Su Yu's words shocked Xiao Ran. Although he had wondered why the Wen family suddenly adopted a daughter, he never thought that Su Yu was the Wen family's daughter.

Upon closer inspection of Su Yu's appearance, Xiao Ran realized that Su Yu's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Wen Zhengnan's, especially their phoenix eyes, which were remarkably alike.

"If you are the Wen family's biological daughter, then why does Uncle Wen treat you like this? And why does he allow Wen Lu to bully you at home?"

After Xiao Ran learned the truth, he was only angry. He had always felt sorry for Su Yu's situation. He thought that Su Yu had to endure the humiliation and bullying of Wen Lu in the Wen family because she was an adopted daughter.

But now things are clearly not as he thought, and he simply cannot accept that Su Yu has been bullied.

“Since you are Uncle Wen’s biological daughter, as long as your identity is revealed, we can be together legitimately.”

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Ran instantly felt relieved. He no longer had to pretend to care about Wen Lu. He was already tired of putting on a show for Wen Lu.

“I think about these things too, but… but my parents are worried that Wen Lu’s body can’t handle it, and they won’t allow me to reveal my identity.”

Su Yu lowered her head in grievance. When Xiao Ran couldn't see her, a calculating glint flashed in her eyes. He couldn't reveal his identity, but she could use Xiao Ran to reveal hers. That way, her parents wouldn't blame her and would have to accept the fact.

At that time, she will rightfully be the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and he will be the one to fulfill the marriage agreement between the Wen and Xiao families.

As for Wen Lu, she was determined to drive Wen Lu out of the Wen family and make her return her status as the eldest daughter of the Wen family.

Su Yu has been behaving herself these past few days, not causing any trouble for Wen Lu, in order to lower Wen Lu's guard. She believes that Wen Lu is just a good-for-nothing, and even if she suddenly became smart, it was just a flash of inspiration. She doesn't believe that a fool can suddenly become smart.

Seeing Su Yu's aggrieved expression, Xiao Ran gently pulled her into his arms, his voice becoming even more tender.

"Leave this matter to me. It concerns who I will marry in the future. I will not marry someone whose identity is unknown. We can reveal your identity at my grandmother's birthday banquet. You know that there are many distinguished guests at my grandmother's birthday banquet. At that time, even your parents will have to restore your identity."

Xiao Ran felt that her plan was perfect. She wanted to use the situation at the time to force everyone to accept the matter. She felt that marrying Su Yu was much better than marrying Wen Lu.

Although Wen Lu was prettier than Su Yu, she had nothing that could compare to Su Yu except for her looks.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran lowered his head and kissed Su Yu, then led her towards the large bed...

As Wen Lu came out of her room, she heard suppressed sounds of pleasure coming from Su Yu's room. She raised her eyebrows slightly, passed by Su Yu's room, and headed straight downstairs.

When the butler saw Wen Lu come downstairs, he paused for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "Where are you going, Miss? Young Master Xiao came upstairs looking for you just now, didn't you see him?"

Hearing the butler's words, Wen Lu pretended to be naive and paused for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I haven't seen Brother Xiao Ran. Has Brother Xiao Ran come?"

Seeing Wen Lu's bewildered expression, the butler was also confused. He clearly saw Young Master Xiao carrying a gift box as he came in from outside, so why did the young lady say she hadn't seen him? Did Young Master Xiao leave without finding anyone?

"Perhaps Young Master Xiao left while I wasn't here? Miss, are you going out? The driver and Madam have gone out. If you're going out, I'll give you a ride."

The housekeeper spoke to Wen Lu very kindly. Wen Lu was always well-liked in the Wen family. She was in poor health and did not have the temperament of a young lady, so everyone in the family was willing to pamper her.

Compared to Wen Lude, Su Yu appeared arrogant and domineering. The servants in the house dared not speak out against Su Yu and were all careful not to provoke her.

"Then I'll trouble you to give me a ride, Uncle Sun. I feel like I'm recovering well recently, so I've made plans to go to the mall with a friend to see a movie. You can just drop me off at the mall in the city center."

When Wen Lu spoke, she had a sweet smile on her face, which made people feel good. Without any hesitation, the butler took the car keys and sent Wen Lu out.

As Wen Lu left, she unconsciously glanced upstairs in the direction of Su Yu's room. She only hoped that when Madam Wen returned, she wouldn't be shocked by that big surprise. After all, before Su Yu regained her status as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, such things were still very shameful.

Actually, she also wanted to see if the Wen family was still unwilling to reveal Su Yu's identity under these circumstances. She really wanted to know what the Wen family was insisting on.

Through these few days of contact, Wen Lu clearly sensed that the Wen family's kindness towards her was not so simple, especially Madam Wen, whose kindness towards Wen Lu could be described as extreme. The more kind they were, the more abnormal Wen Lu felt, and she felt that they were brewing a conspiracy.
