Chapter 197 Compensation to Me

Lu Xiangyang stretched out his finger and tapped Jiang Jiani's tailbone.

Jiang Jianni jolted awake, sat bolt upright, and shouted sternly, "What are you doing!"

Lu Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly tucked her into the blankets: "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Jiang Jianni, however, did not relax at all, and still asked with a long face, "What were you doing just now!"

Lu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.

Jiang Jianni's face darkened immediately. She turned her back to him and said in a muffled voice, "Tell me if you want, or don't. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Lu Xiangyang: "...Jia Ni, do you understand your own body?"

Jiang Jianni said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Lu Xiangyang took a deep breath, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You have a butterfly-shaped birthmark on your tailbone."

!!

Jiang Jianni sat up abruptly again, involuntarily reaching for her tailbone.

Lu Xiangyang thoughtfully brought over a mirror: "Use this..."

Jiang Jianni glared at him fiercely: "You, get out."

Lu Xiangyang: "..."

Lu Xiangyang awkwardly touched his nose, turned his back to her, and said, "It's so cold outside, you don't need to go out, right? It's really cold outside."

Jiang Jianni didn't have time to pay attention to him at all. She hurriedly looked at her back with a small mirror and found that there was indeed a butterfly-shaped birthmark on it.

She couldn't help but frown: "How come there's a birthmark? How come I never noticed it before?"

Not only did she not notice it, but the original owner also had no recollection of this butterfly birthmark in her memories.

She even tried desperately to recall the novel, which contained a lot of descriptions of the original owner of this vicious villain, but it focused more on the things the original owner did and didn't mention anything about the birthmark at all.

So how did you end up with a birthmark?

Lu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Jia Ni, your birthday is only three days apart from Fang Shuying's, and you were born in the same hospital. The key point is that you really do have this butterfly birthmark."

"Do you think you could be the girl who was switched at birth in Uncle Fang's family?"

"impossible!"

Jiang Jiani's reaction was more intense than ever: "My mother's name is Yang Yueying, and my father's name is Jiang Baoguo. Even if I was adopted, I will only have Jiang Baoguo and Yang Yueying as my parents in this life. There are no others."

"There is absolutely no one else."

Lu Xiangyang was a little startled by her intense reaction, and quickly hugged her in his arms, saying repeatedly, "Okay, okay, okay, there's no one else, there's no one else, we only have Jiang's parents."

Jiang Jianni couldn't help but lightly punch him and spat, "Nonsense! Aren't your parents your parents too?"

Lu Xiangyang grasped her hand and said softly, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. It was my fault. My attitude was bad."

Jiang Jianni couldn't help but laugh through her tears after he coaxed her: "Oh my, really, how can you be like this!"

Lu Xiangyang: "???"

Jiang Jianni played with his fingers in his arms for a while, and finally was able to speak calmly:

"Actually, I've suspected for a long time that I'm not their biological child, but my parents are so good to me, and I feel that my suspicions would be extremely unfilial..."

Lu Xiangyang suddenly realized: "No wonder I felt your attitude was a bit strange when your parents talked about your background. It turns out you had already suspected it."

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why? How can you think you're not a member of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Jianni immediately recited the reasons she had prepared long ago, highlighting various characteristics, both big and small.

In short, she looks completely different from the other three siblings in the Jiang family.

The reason no one suspected anything was because all four Jiang siblings were good-looking.

In people's minds, ugly people can be ugly in all sorts of ways, but beautiful people always have something in common.

At the very least, being pretty is one thing they all have in common.

Lu Xiangyang: "...So you went to college to specifically learn how to use relatively simple methods to tell if someone is your biological child?"

Jiang Jianni turned her head arrogantly and snorted, "I call that being knowledgeable and versatile!"

"No matter what, learn more and understand more. What you learn will always be yours, not someone else's. If you need to use it, you won't be at a loss. Isn't that great?"

Actually, this is all thanks to the gene-related courses I took in high school biology in my past life.

Later, in order to write about real and fake heiresses, real and fake young masters, real and fake fathers, real and fake mothers, and so on, I researched a lot of information on this topic, which is why I know so little bit about it.

It's perfect for blocking Lu Xiangyang.

Lu Xiangyang chuckled softly: "That's right, what you learn yourself is truly yours; everything else is just fluff."

Jiang Jianni gave another soft hum.

After lingering for a while, Lu Xiangyang asked, "Are you really not planning to acknowledge the Fang family back?"

Jiang Jianni wrinkled her nose: "Why go back to the Fang family? To see how they treat Fang Shuying, okay?"

“Even if I am their biological child, Fang Shuying has been raised in their family since birth.”

"Even if she makes a mistake for a moment, do you think the Fang family would so easily give up on the daughter they raised for twenty-four years?"

"Then what will I be?"

She has completely given up on hiding it and openly admitted that she might be the baby girl from back then.

"Besides, how can you be sure that the Fang family feels gratitude towards the Jiang family rather than hatred?"

The original story was etched into her mind, and Jiang Jianni could easily know the original owner's situation in the Jiang family.

I wonder if it's because the original novel didn't include the awful things Fang Shuying did.

Despite being a college student herself, and a legitimate college student who got into university through her own abilities, she was always looked down upon in the Fang family, who thought she was unsophisticated.

On the contrary, Fang Shuying, a so-called "sea turtle" who went to a foreign diploma mill to "gild her resume" because she failed to get into a domestic university, was sought after by everyone.

To be honest, if someone is praised while being suppressed, even the most normal person would turn to the dark side if they lived in such an environment for a long time.

Furthermore, when the original owner was being tormented by Fang Shuying's suitors because she offended her, Fang's so-called biological parents and older brother did not help her even once.

It was the Jiang family who felt sorry for their daughter whom they had raised for over twenty years. They went to confront them, only to be ruined by Fang Shuying's suitors.

During this time, Fang's parents showed no gratitude or help whatsoever to the Jiang family, who had raised their daughter so many years ago, as if they were just insignificant passersby.

Even though she knew that the novel might not reflect reality—after all, reality had deviated so much from it—the first impression was too strong, and she genuinely disliked the Fang family.

Jiang Jianni felt that if the original owner had known that the Jiang family would be ruined after her death, she would have preferred not to acknowledge the Fang family in the first place.

Lu Xiangyang listened quietly, and once he was sure that Jiang Jianni really had no intention of recognizing the Fang family, he put aside his worries about the matter.

He nuzzled Jiang Jiani's neck with his bushy beard for a while, then chuckled and said, "Have you finished telling me your story?"

"Wife, let's talk about how you were giving me that cold look earlier."

"I was really sad just now."

How will you heal my wounded heart?

Jiang Jianni was stunned: "Wh-what?"

Ahhh.

What the heck!

How did Lu Xiangyang suddenly become love-struck?!
