Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.
Her best friend not only stole the man she...
Jiang Xuanxuan wasn't very surprised by what Wang Xiuzhen said.
She had suspected her blood type before, but she hadn't thought much about it then.
But the fact that she had doubts also means that she had imagined many possibilities.
Wang Xiuzhen did not admit to Jiang Jucai that she knew she was pregnant when she married him, but she did not intend to hide it from Jiang Xuanxuan.
These two women were always on the same page. Since Jiang Jucai had said he wanted them to make contributions, he would definitely make sure Jiang Xuanxuan knew the truth.
"Mom! Who exactly is my dad?" Jiang Xuanxuan asked.
“This…” Wang Xiuzhen hesitated.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Just tell the truth! At this crucial moment, what are you still hiding?" Jiang Xuanxuan said impatiently.
"How would I know who he is? I met him at the bar. He's good-looking and has a good job."
"You!" Jiang Xuanxuan was furious.
Although Jiang Xuanxuan also acted recklessly, at least she chose wealthy men with status and influence. Her mother, on the other hand, was too casual.
Wang Xiuzhen told her that back then, the Cultural Revolution had just ended, and not everyone would go to bars and nightclubs. It was good enough if you went to one. Where did all these scions of wealthy families come from?
Besides, Jiang Jucai was pursuing her intensely back then, and since there was someone who was after her money and could be manipulated at will, she didn't have many reservations.
"Easy to control? No worries?" Jiang Xuanxuan disagreed. "You were just having fun back then and didn't care. Now look what's happened! You were so careless and now you're about to be kicked out of the house! Foolish!"
"It's already like this, and I can't go back to twenty years ago and start all over again." Wang Xiuzhen didn't want to bring up the past; she just wanted to know how to break this deadlock. "Do you have any ideas?"
Jiang Xuanxuan sighed: "I do have a solution, but I don't know if your husband will agree!"
"What method?"
“It’s a done deal that I’m not Jiang Jucai’s daughter, but as long as I’m not your daughter either, or no one knows that I was born to you, we can use a substitute.” Jiang Xuanxuan said with a calculating look on her face.
"What do you mean?" Wang Xiuzhen wasn't very bright.
"Didn't the Xia family lose a daughter?" Jiang Xuanxuan's eyes darted around. "What if I were to become the Xia family's lost heiress... would anyone dare to gossip then?"
"You're going to impersonate the Xia family's lost daughter?" Wang Xiuzhen's eyes lit up, then she immediately hesitated. "But your birth certificate doesn't match! And what if they want to do a DNA test?"
“That’s why I said your husband should handle the details!” Jiang Xuanxuan said. “It’s just a DNA test, you can just pay someone to find a match, right?”
"It's good, but I can't bear to give you away to someone else! After all, I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you."
"Mom, do you think I don't know what you want?" Jiang Xuanxuan said with a look of disdain. "If I were to get close to the Xia family, wouldn't you, my 'adoptive mother,' also be living the high life? The Xia family is much wealthier than the Jiang family. For them, spending tens of millions would be just a drop in the ocean!"
"But... what benefit would this bring to Jiang Jucai?"
"Mom! Are you really that stupid or just pretending? Once we've gotten on the good side of the Xia family, how could we not solve the Jiang family's problems? How could we not make money? All he wants is his company!"
"Then I'll go and talk to that old codger?" Wang Xiuzhen was persuaded.
“No! Let me speak!” Jiang Xuanxuan shook her head. “Whatever you say is the sinner’s voice. I’m the innocent victim, so my words have more weight.”
Jiang Xuanxuan's words did indeed have their merits. The fact that she wasn't Jiang Jucai's daughter was a mistake from her past life, and she had no choice in the matter.
She thought that as long as she was sweet-talking and insisted that she only recognized Jiang Jucai as her father, that everything she did was for him, and that she would only think of giving him any benefits, Jiang Jucai probably wouldn't hold it against her too much.
After all, he had truly doted on Jiang Xuanxuan like a daughter for so many years. Now that the situation has been exposed, and he has no children of his own, who else can he rely on besides Jiang Xuanxuan?
In fact, all of Jiang Jucai's affection for Jiang Xuanxuan had vanished when he learned that she was not his biological daughter.
He even felt it was not worth it for the pampering and indulgence he had shown over the past twenty-odd years.
Right now, all he wants is to get back what he's sacrificed for Jiang Xuanxuan and Wang Xiuzhen. To him, these two women are no different from commodities on a trading platform.
Wang Xiuzhen said that Jiang Jucai only loves his company, and that is indeed true.
Jiang Jucai is a heartless man; besides loving his company and his money, he probably only loves himself.
Now that he knows his wife cheated on him and that even their daughter isn't his, he'll have no scruples if his interests are harmed.
He'd use what he could and betray what he could, as long as he could get what he wanted, he didn't care.
So when Jiang Xuanxuan suggested impersonating the Xia family's lost daughter, he didn't object at all, but warned her not to mess things up and not to forget to pay off the Jiang family's debts.
If she dares to be ungrateful after marrying into the Xia family, he has plenty of evidence to expose her.
At that point, it won't just be a matter of her reputation being ruined. Jiang Jucai wants to see if Xia Changlong will let her off the hook.
It would be too ostentatious for them to announce to the outside world that the babies were switched at birth. It would sound like a lie they made to curry favor with the authorities, and no one would believe it.
So Jiang Jucai then asked his assistant to work behind the scenes.
They hired people and online trolls, and they decided to make a big fuss about the genetic scandal!
