Gu Yanxin slumped onto the sofa, never expecting that Gu Yunbai would be so heartless and truly abandon her.

"What a disaster!" Yun Rujin's face turned green as she watched Gu Yunbai's departing figure.

"Xinxin, don't worry, your dad is just angry and saying it for the sake of saying it." Yun Rujin turned around, sat down next to Gu Yanxin, took her hand, and comforted her.

Gu Yanxin's face turned deathly pale, her heart pounding with panic, and she had no interest in listening to what Yun Rujin was saying.

Did she really lose to Shi Miao like this? Just because she wasn't his biological daughter, did Gu Yunbai not want to care about her anymore?

And then there's Gu Wanqing, who, after simply copying a tune, turned her back to H City without any regard for her family...

No, there's also Qin Chu. He said he would help me deal with Shi Miao.

Gu Yanxin's eyes lit up immediately. She quickly got up, returned to her room, took out her phone, and tapped the screen with trembling fingers to call Qin Chu.

Gu Yanxin gripped her phone tightly and cautiously began, "Uncle, you promised to help me deal with Shi Miao..."

"What obligation do you think I have to help you right now?" Qin Chu said quietly.

Gu Yanxin hadn't expected Qin Chu to go back on his word, but when she thought that all of this was thanks to Shi Miao, she bit her lip and made up her mind: "I'm willing to do anything as long as Shi Miao can die!"

Qin Chu clicked his tongue. "I have a pill here that dissolves in water without any taste or color. If you can find a way to get Shi Miao to drink it, I will send you to study in M ​​Continent, and you can even pick up your piano again."

“But Shi Miao will never come out to see me alone…” Gu Yanxin said hesitantly.

"That's up to you now. I've given you the opportunity; whether you seize it or not is up to you."

"Is this poison? If she dies on the spot, wouldn't I become the prime suspect?"

"You don't need to worry about that. It won't take effect for half an hour after you eat it, which is enough time for you to escape the scene."

"When will you give me the medicine?"

"Sweetie, the medicine is in your bag." Before Gu Yanxin could react, Qin Chu hung up the phone.

A look of horror flashed in Gu Yanxin's eyes. She picked up the bag on the table and dumped all its contents onto the bed.

A small, transparent plastic box, about the size of a fingernail, lay quietly on the bed...

When exactly did Qin Chu put it in? Did he foresee this day's events?

Gu Yanxin picked up the box containing the pills, her eyes darting around nervously. She felt that Qin Chu was truly terrifying...

Can I really trust him...?

After getting a new phone, Shi Miao returned to Lanting Apartment.

Ji Yanchen was somewhat surprised when he saw the phone in her hand. "Why did you change your phone?"

"Ah, the old one was ruined by Gu Yanxin." Shi Miao sat cross-legged on the sofa and then briefly recounted what had happened that day.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow, not expecting Gu Yanxin to be so reckless.

Just then, Shi Miao's phone rang; it was Yun Yi calling.

"The test results are in. I just sent the electronic version to your email." Yun Yi's calm and powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

Shi Miao tightened her grip on her phone. "Okay, thanks."

"Don't just thank me, hurry back and take over my position."

"Um, the cell phone signal is bad, what did you say?"

"Alright, stop pretending."

"Let's talk about it when I get back. I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Miao opened her email and clicked on the electronic DNA identification report that Yun Yi had sent her.

Shi Miao skipped the middle and went straight to the bottom.

Upon seeing the result, a look of shock flashed in Shi Miao's eyes. She had considered all the possibilities, but she had never expected this one.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yanchen noticed the girl's expression and asked.

“Gu Yunbo isn’t my father, but we are related by blood…” Shi Miao looked up at him, her expression somewhat complicated, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"What?" Even Ji Yanchen, who had seen many storms, was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

“Gu Yunbai is my uncle,” Shi Miao said in a deep voice, rubbing his temples.

"So, you're Gu Wanqing's daughter?"

"Theoretically speaking, that's true, but it's not impossible that my grandfather might have some illegitimate children outside," Shi Miao said seriously, resting his chin on his hand.

Recalling the moments she had spent with Gu Wanqing during this time, a sentence Gu Wanqing had once said suddenly came to mind: "I've noticed that Miaomiao's eyes and eyebrows look quite like mine."

I've already made up my mind, but just to be on the safe side, I'll still do a DNA test.
