right!

That must be it.

Tang Yaoyao's goal was to ruin her reputation and make her unable to recover forever, so that her mother and brothers would never be able to forgive her.

She felt fear and unease, but even more so, anger.

She is absolutely, positively her third aunt's daughter.

From birth until now, everyone has told her that she is Qiao Mingzhu's daughter, adopted by Qiao Yanzhi, and that she has the blood of the Qiao family.

Moreover, her third aunt had always been very good to her; she would only be this good to her own daughter.

This genuine feeling can never be fake.

Therefore, it was Tang Yaoyao who orchestrated it.

Thinking of this, it seemed that his restless heart calmed down. He looked up at her, his eyes filled with a sinister aura and deep hatred.

She coldly questioned, "Tang Yaoyao, I should be the one asking you, what are your true intentions? Why did you utter such a ridiculous lie and fabricate such false evidence?"

Tang Yaoyao narrowed her eyes, her chestnut pupils holding a hint of scrutiny that was hard to detect. She lazily raised an eyebrow and said, "After all, you've been my parents' daughter for twenty years. I'll give you one last bit of respect and have you do the vetting done again in front of everyone."

This seems to be the only way to prove her identity.

"good."

Fu Mengyao hardly hesitated, because she firmly believed that she had the blood of the Qiao family flowing in her veins and was eager to prove that all of this was just Tang Yaoyao trying to harm her.

Tang Yaoyao's gaze sharpened as she scrutinized her face for a moment before finally speaking slowly and deliberately: "If you are indeed Third Aunt's daughter, I apologize to you. The past will be forgiven. If you are not..."

At this point, she sighed and shook her head, revealing a seductive yet contemptuous smile before continuing, "Not only will you get out of the Fu family, but you will also leave the Qiao family. From now on, you will have no further connection with either the Fu or Qiao families."

Upon hearing this, Fu Mengyao's body went limp.

She looked into Tang Yaoyao's eyes; Tang Yaoyao seemed to be smiling, but in reality, she was as cold as ice. There was no panic in her eyes, as if she was very certain that Tang Yaoyao was not Qiao Mingzhu's biological daughter.

She suddenly panicked for a moment.

At that very moment, he sneered, "Fine, as you say, but if I am, you will not only have to apologize to me, but the Fu family will also never remove me from their ancestral register."

Tang Yaoyao had no doubts about the previous psychiatric evaluation. She looked at her mother, her gaze softening considerably, and asked, "Mom, do you believe me?"

This is horrifying...

But for some reason, she unconditionally believed in her deep down.

After a long pause, he nodded: "You are the victim in this incident, and Fu Mengyao should indeed be dealt with by you. I have no objection to whatever you want to do."

As Fu Mengyao listened, her eyes reddened. Looking at her mother, she realized that the love that was supposed to be hers had now become Tang Yaoyao's exclusive favor.

She is determined to take back everything that belongs to her.

Tang Yaoyao smiled gently and said, "Dr. Gu, could you please take a sample?"

"Um."

He left briefly, but returned in just two minutes with a blood collection bottle in his hand. He walked up to Fu Mengyao and said expressionlessly, "Using venous blood for testing is more accurate and yields results faster." At this moment, Libiesao only held her right hand, while Fu Mengyao extended her left hand, enduring the pain, and allowed him to draw her blood.

After that, he came to Qiao Yanzhi.

There's no need to invite Ms. Qiao Mingzhu to come in person to have her sister, Qiao Yanzhi, authenticated; the result will be the same.

Qiao Yanzhi extended her hand.

After collecting the venous blood sample, he sent it to the testing department and has not returned yet.

Everyone is waiting for the results of the paternity test.

At first, Fu Mengyao was 100% convinced that she was Qiao Yanzhi's niece, but during the long wait, 30% of that belief was worn away.

The main reason was Tang Yaoyao's expression.

She leaned back on the bedside table, looking relaxed and languid, occasionally exchanging glances with her fourth brother. She showed no sign of worry, as if she had already seen that the test results matched the one she had previously obtained.

This confidence made her gradually less certain of her identity.

Fine beads of sweat trickled down her forehead; she was in immense inner turmoil.

Qiao Yanzhi's torment was no less than hers. If the test results showed that she was related to Fu Mengyao by blood, she would never agree to Fu Mengyao's request.

My ancestral home is definitely out of the question.

However, after confirming once again that she was not the third sister's daughter, how could the third sister bear such a result?

If Fu Mengyao, who has lived in the Fu family for twenty years, is not the third sister's daughter, then where is her daughter?

Who were involved in this back then?

If Tang Yaoyao hadn't appeared, would they have been deceived for the rest of their lives?

Who exactly set up such a huge scheme? And who is Fu Mengyao's biological daughter?

Thinking of this, she felt her heart ache even more, and her breathing became rapid.

At this moment, Ye Xuan finally came to her senses from the series of secrets. She looked around at the big shots in the room, her face growing paler and paler. She bit her lip tightly and thought quickly.

At this moment, Fu Mengyao's chances of survival are gone, and there's no way to save her.

She needs to find a new backer.

Thinking of this, his gaze settled on Tang Yaoyao's face on the hospital bed, he took a deep breath, and called out, "Yaoyao."

That voice was so intimate, so incredibly intimate, like that of a best friend who hadn't seen each other for many years and had just reunited.

Su Mei felt disgusted just listening to it and coldly asked, "How dare you call Yao Yao that?"

Ye Xuan pretended not to hear and smiled as she tried to get closer to her: "Yaoyao, when I first saw you, I thought you were so beautiful and looked just like Aunt Qiao. I even wondered if you were Aunt Qiao's daughter. I originally wanted to get close to you and become best friends, but it was all Fu Mengyao's doing that sowed discord between us."

Tang Yaoyao had seen countless sycophants, but she had never seen one as shameless as this. She laughed and said, "Why are you still here?"

That statement is so ironic.

It was as if they didn't care about her, this little minion, at all.

"I……"

Tang Yaoyao lazily curved her lips, licked her little tiger teeth, and said mockingly, "You probably got zero on all your Chinese exams before, right? Do you think you can use your divisive tactics on a stranger like me?"

The implication is that only those with a close relationship can sow discord.

She and Ye Xuan were complete strangers.

After her attempt to curry favor failed, Ye Xuan panicked. If she had known that Tang Yaoyao was the real heiress of the Fu family, she would have been too busy trying to curry favor with her to do something so foolish.

Having been humiliated, she seemed unfazed and said with a smile, "Look, I'm a few years older than you, I should call you 'little sister.' This time, I was wrong and listened to the villain. Yaoyao, you must be discerning. I am innocent."

Tang Yaoyao raised an eyebrow: "Innocent? Ye Xuan, I'm very curious, what exactly makes you innocent?"

Past lives and present lives, cause and effect, reincarnation—those who do bad things will be punished.

Everything Ye Xuan did in her past life will bring retribution today.
