Inside the house, the Gan family was completely baffled by her mysterious appearance.
Gan Mingyi asked impatiently, "What's all this nonsense about?"
After closing the door, Zhao Juan turned around, heard Gan Mingyi's words, sneered at him, and said:
"God? Ghost? Second Brother, you guessed right! What I'm talking about is indeed related to this 'ghost'!"
"Second brother? Who's your second brother? Don't try to get close to me!" Gan Mingyi said disdainfully, sneering, "You're really putting on an act, aren't you? Spit it out, or get lost!"
The other members of the Gan family also looked impatient.
Seeing that her family members, who used to treat her so well, now regarded that bitch as a precious treasure while showing her no kindness, Zhao Juan felt increasingly distressed and her desire to expose her true colors grew stronger.
She said, "Haven't you noticed? Ever since your daughter divorced Chen Danian, she's like a completely different person!"
The Gan family members were taken aback upon hearing this, and Gan Mingli asked:
"So what? Isn't this something everyone in town knows? My little sister was deceived by Chen Danian before, but now that she sees through his true character, she naturally won't be instigated by him anymore."
Zhao Juan thought that her words would surprise the Gan family, who would then press for details and discover the strangeness of the sweet pear.
Unexpectedly, this guy even came up with a reason for the other person!
She was furious and shouted in a low voice:
"Didn't you guys notice anything wrong? If it were just that her temper had changed, that would be one thing, but how come after divorcing Chen Danian, she's making popsicles and braised pork all over the place!"
As Zhao Juan spoke, she looked at Old Lady Gan and questioned, "You raised your daughter from a young age, don't you know whether she can cook or not?!"
Grandma Gan's heart tightened, but she didn't show it. Instead, she asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Ganli is not your daughter at all!" Zhao Juan roared. "No, that's not right either. Her body is still your daughter's, but inside her body lives a wandering ghost. She is not your original daughter at all!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, an eerie stillness descending upon the space.
The Gan family members looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment.
Seeing the shock on their faces, Zhao Juan finally felt a sense of relief.
Gan Mingyi was the first to react. He looked at Zhao Juan and asked her:
"You're not going to say that you're the real little sister, are you?"
Zhao Juan proudly raised her chin and nodded slightly.
The thought of them crying and apologizing to her after learning the truth filled her with a sense of satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, Gan Mingyi scoffed upon hearing this, and said sarcastically:
"Miss Zhao, I think you're the one who's possessed by a ghost to spout such nonsense!"
The rest of the Gan family looked at her as if she were a fool.
Zhao Juan was taken aback upon seeing this, a hint of panic appearing on her haughty expression. She hurriedly explained:
“Everything I’m saying is true! I only remember Chen Danian hitting me, and then when I opened my eyes, I became Zhao Juan.”
I initially thought the original Zhao Juan had become me, but now I realize it seems not; my body is inhabited by a wandering ghost from who-knows-where!
“Really! If you don’t believe me, I can prove it… Mother, do you remember that time you lost two taels of silver? Actually, Yaozu took it. I was worried that if this got out, it would damage Yaozu’s reputation, so I said that Qiao’er took it.”
Mrs. Gan: "..."
“And my older brother…” Zhao Juan looked anxiously at Gan Mingli again:
"That year, I had a fight with my sister-in-law. I was the one who said that Quan-ge'er would be a bachelor for life, and she got angry and then said Yao-zu's. Later, I deliberately made a big fuss about it and turned the tables on my sister-in-law, and finally got several taels of silver from my father before she would stop..."
Gan Mingli: "..." He felt a pang of guilt when he thought about how he had blamed his wife, as her aunt, for cursing her nephew, and had been angry with her for a long time.
"besides……"
Eager to prove herself the real Ganli, Zhao Juan disregarded what her family might think and recounted many past events in one breath, concluding with:
"If you don't believe me, you can ask my sister-in-law and Qiao'er. They will both be able to confirm that what I said is true!"
After she finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the room once more.
Under Zhao Juan's anxious gaze, the Gan family members looked at each other, and finally their eyes all fell on Old Man Gan.
Zhao Juan looked at Old Man Gan, the father who loved her the most, her eyes filled with hope.
Even after the secret recipe incident, he couldn't bear to blame her. Now that she had told him so many things that no one else knew, surely her father would believe that she was his real daughter?
Under her expectant gaze, Old Man Gan slowly spoke.
He smiled helplessly and said:
"Miss Zhao, your story is quite convincing, but I'm not senile yet. Do you think I wouldn't recognize my own daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Juan felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
She cried out in near collapse, "You just don't recognize me! What nonsense! Everything I said is true! If I weren't really Gan Li, how would I know so much?"
"You've already made Yaozu treat you like his own mother, so what's the big deal about telling you these things?"
Grandma Gan snorted coldly without even looking up and said, "Ali used to dote on that brat the most, and she never hid anything from him."
Zhao Juan had originally hoped that these things would convince her family that she was the real Gan Li, but when she heard that they actually thought Chen Yaozu had told her all these things, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
She said anxiously, "No, these are things I know myself, because I am your real daughter!"
"Okay, so you say you're the real little sister? Then let me ask you something!"
Gan Mingyi took a step closer, his sharp gaze seemingly trying to see through Zhao Juan, and questioned her word by word:
"You said you woke up a long time ago, so why didn't you come to recognize us from the beginning?"
You knew perfectly well that Chen Danian colluded with Zhao Juan, almost causing our family to be sold off. You became Zhao Juan and didn't even try to deal with Chen Danian, so why did you marry him?
And last time, when you caused trouble at the restaurant, you clearly didn't recognize us! How do you explain all of this?
Zhao Juan was stunned by the barrage of questions, speechless, her face turning pale and then flushed.
Even if she had the thickest skin, she couldn't reveal the truth: she had looked down on the Gan family for being poor and had no intention of acknowledging them at all!
