The man ran off with the camera. Seeing this, Lu Xinwan quickly got up and chased after him. But how could she possibly catch him? Moreover, this was an upscale restaurant, and her actions quickly attracted the attention of several other tables of customers, who all turned to look at her.

She chased after him outside but couldn't find him. She quickly messaged Ms. Luo, asking her to find the person who took the photo as soon as possible.

Her eyelids and temples were throbbing; she felt her hard-earned life of luxury was about to end. She didn't want that. She hadn't enjoyed it enough yet!

Over here at the dining table, Tang Zhi suddenly exclaimed softly, "Niannian, how can you still eat at a time like this?"

Chu Nian was stuffing a dessert she thought was delicious into her mouth when she asked in surprise, "Didn't we come here to eat?"

Tang Zhi pressed Tian Jun, "Young Master Tian, ​​that woman whose husband's surname is Chen, which village is she from?"

Tian Jun: "Chenjia Village!"

Tang Zhi glared at Chu Nian: "It's Nian Nian... no, the age doesn't match!"

Chu Nian smiled helplessly, "Tang Zhi, you didn't just think I was one of those three women's children, did you?"

Tang Zhi did think that way just now. Well, maybe he wanted to avoid struggling for a few years, so he always thought about having a girlfriend with a strong family background.

How could Chu Nian not guess what he was thinking? This scumbag, huh, Chu Nian just rolled her eyes.

She said, "I was five or six years old when Mrs. Lu gave birth." She paused, then added, "The reason why Ms. Luo wanted to take advantage of Mr. Lu's attempt to divert attention from the internet was because I saw the three women giving birth in the hospital back then, and she wanted to use that opportunity to cut off all my livelihoods."

Perhaps she saw me while looking for Miss Lu Xinwan, recognized me, and felt that my appearance might ruin her plans of the past twenty years, so she wanted to silence me.

In reality, I was young at the time and had no idea what happened. Moreover, I can remember very little about what happened in the hospital back then. If it weren't for the persistent online buzz surrounding me, and even the fact that the buzz actually increased after a while, I wouldn't have suspected anything and investigated.

As for Mrs. Lu's daughter, given Ms. Luo's methods, do you think she would let that child live?

The original owner of this body, Chen Nian, was indeed driven to the brink of death and committed suicide.

Lu Yaoyao asked in a trembling voice, "So...so?"

Chu Nian: "So you are my sister, not Lu Xinwan's sister."

"This is impossible," Lu Yaoyao cried.

Chu Nian continued, "Back then, our mother sold you for a thousand yuan. A thousand yuan was a lot of money at the time; it would have been enough to live on for two or three years in the countryside. You should be glad that she never thought of looking for you after selling you, otherwise you might be in a much worse situation now." As she finished speaking, she couldn't help but raise her lips in a cold laugh.

Lu Yaoyao felt a chill run down her spine when she saw that smile: Did Chu Nian's words mean that she had always known about Ms. Luo threatening and extorting money from her by using her background?

Tian Jun turned to look at Chu Nian and said, "So, you actually found out everything a long time ago, but you've remained silent. Why? That's not like you at all." This woman wasn't one to suffer in silence.

Chu Nian took a bite of her steak and said calmly, "What's the rush?" She paused for a moment, then added, "You hired that reporter who was taking pictures just now, didn't you?"

Tian Jun neither confirmed nor denied it.

Chu Nian added, "He did more than just take pictures!"

Tian Jun: "This conversation will be published online soon."

Lu Yaoyao said anxiously, "How could you do this?" If Tian Jun's words got out today, she would be the first to suffer. She wouldn't even be considered an illegitimate child anymore; she would be kicked out of the Lu family.

As for Lu Xinwan, even though she wasn't born to Mrs. Lu, she was still Mr. Lu's daughter, and now she was the only flesh and blood of the Lu family.

Tian Jun said coldly, "Why can't we do this? Are we just going to let that woman surnamed Luo continue to rape and harm Nian Nian? I will absolutely not let this matter continue to escalate."

Chu Nian sighed and said, "Why go through all this trouble? Once the Lu family falls, what will that Ms. Luo have left? What can she hold onto?" All she has to rely on is that she gave birth to a daughter for Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu has the Lu family.

But even the Lu family is gone!

Upon hearing this, Tian Jun seemed to understand something, raised an eyebrow at her, and a hint of amusement and realization appeared in his eyes.

Lu Yaoyao was completely oblivious to their conversation, only muttering to herself in a somewhat dazed state, "This absolutely cannot be made public! Absolutely not! Absolutely not! No matter what, I can't not be a daughter of the Lu family, I can't not be!"

Lu Xinwan returned after failing to catch the reporter and saw her like this, so she rolled her eyes again.

Tian Jun glanced at her and said to Lu Yaoyao with a smile, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. After all, Mrs. Lu has raised you for so many years. If she finds out that you are not Mr. Lu's illegitimate daughter at all, she might treat you better. But..." As he spoke, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Xinwan.

Lu Xinwan, however, was fearless. Her grandparents and Mr. Lu would do everything in their power to protect her as the only bloodline of the Lu family. Besides, she wasn't the one who caused Mrs. Lu's daughter's death, so she couldn't be held responsible.

Tang Zhi frowned and asked, "I just don't understand, didn't Mrs. Lu have a paternity test done before she recognized Xinwan?"

Tian Jun: "As I just said, the hospital director had been having an affair with Ms. Luo for a long time."

Tang Zhi continued in confusion: "But...but...didn't Mrs. Lu know all along that Miss Yaoyao wasn't her biological daughter?"

Tian Jun: "That's the most brilliant part of Ms. Luo's plan. First, she made Mrs. Lu suspect that Yao Yao wasn't her biological daughter, then she sent someone to investigate and found out that another woman had given birth with her at the time, but after giving birth to her daughter, she didn't raise her and even abandoned her daughter in a remote mountain village called Mutouzhaizi Village, seemingly wanting the daughter to suffer on purpose..."

After saying that, he glanced at Lu Xinwan again and sighed, "Although Miss Lu Xinwan has grown up in a mountain village for more than 20 years, she has excellent food, clothing and daily necessities. I heard that she has even hired a tutor!"

However, regarding Miss Lu Xinwan's childhood, because the village is remote and certain people keep it extremely secret, even the villagers don't know much about it. Even when I sent people to investigate, I found it very difficult!

Lu Xinwan gave a soft snort. Her family had indeed appeared very poor at first glance, and to this day, they presented themselves as an impoverished household like any other villager. However, their life inside was quite comfortable.

At the time, she was puzzled by her family's life. Her adoptive mother in the countryside told her that her father was a secret agent and a remarkable person, and that nothing could be said to outsiders.
