Gu Xicheng doesn't like sweets, but seeing Lu Qing eat them, he couldn't help but eat several more.
Whether it was because he ate too much or because Lu Qing looked too much like him, Gu Xicheng dreamed of Lu Qing turning into a pink mochi all night.
"Gu Xicheng, I want to marry you!"
"No! I'm human, and you're Snow Mochi. You can't marry someone from another species!"
Lu Xuemeiniang Qing stretched out her short legs and arms and hugged Gu Xicheng tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Lu Qing, let me go! Let me go..."
Gu Xicheng suddenly woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was wrapped in a quilt like a silkworm cocoon.
Realizing it was all a dream, he let out a heavy sigh and wiped the sweat from his brow.
The scenes in his dream were so vivid that even while he was washing up, his mind was still filled with images of Xue Mei Niang.
So, when the old lady asked him to call Lu Qing for dinner, his first words were:
"Snow Mochi, dinner's ready!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Xicheng wanted to slap himself twice.
What snow skin mooncake?! What is he talking about?!
Lu Qing looked at him, completely bewildered: "What did you just call me?"
"Nothing! I'm going downstairs for lunch!"
Feeling guilty, Gu Xicheng hurriedly went downstairs.
During the meal, Lu Qing tried to ask several times, but he stopped her with meat buns.
Tempted by the meat buns, Lu Qing quickly forgot about Xue Meiniang.
Two days later, the DNA test results came out, and just as Lu Qing had concluded, Wang Fei was indeed the true heiress of the Gu family.
Wang Ma also explained what had happened.
Gu Rongrong was the illegitimate daughter of Wang Ma, who was pregnant out of wedlock. Her husband had disappeared, and her family was not around. She even gave birth alone.
Because there were no hospital beds available, she could only give birth in the hallway.
Nan Qian felt sorry for her, so she asked the nurse to set up a bed for her next to her VIP ward.
However, Nanqian's kindness did not bring her any good fortune; instead, it fueled Wang Ma's hatred.
They had children born around the same time, both girls, but their fates were completely different.
In order to give her children a better life, Wang Ma devised a plan to switch the two children.
Adults have only seen a newborn baby once and can't tell them apart at all.
Thus, Wang Ma's child became the Gu family's daughter, while the real daughter was raised by Wang Ma, growing up amidst humiliation and beatings.
Upon learning the truth, Nan Qian almost burst into tears.
Thinking of the times Wang Fei had been mistreated and beaten by her mother over the years, her heart ached as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! It's Mom who's sorry!"
Nan Qian hugged Wang Fei and kept apologizing.
Gu Yan's eyes also reddened: "It's all our fault. You've been by our side for so long, we should have recognized you long ago!"
The old lady was both angry and heartbroken, and kept wiping away tears.
It took Wang Fei a long time to calm down before she finally broke down in tears, hugging her family.
All the grievances she had suffered over the years erupted at this moment.
From this day forward, she will no longer have to endure humiliation, scolding, beatings, or any other unfair treatment, nor will she have to think about escaping from here anymore.
Looking at the family reunited, Lu Qing thought to herself that her mission down the mountain was now complete.
With the truth revealed and the evil spirit exorcised, Gu Xicheng should now treat Wang Yanjun to the meal he promised.
However, he brought Lu Qing with him when he went.
Upon arriving at the destination, Wang Yanjun saw Lu Qing and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Old Gu, we're a group of grown men having dinner together, why did you bring this girl along?"
It wasn't that Wang Yanjun disliked Lu Qing, but rather that he was a boastful person, especially fond of using his special status to exaggerate bizarre cases that ordinary people couldn't access.
But in front of Lu Qing, an expert, he couldn't boast and felt rather uncomfortable.
Gu Xicheng looked at Lu Qing, a smirk playing on his lips, and said something completely unexpected:
"Why not? She's more appetizing!"
Is it good with rice?
Both Lao Ge and Lu Qing were puzzled.
Especially Lu Qing, whose confusion about Gu Xicheng calling her Xue Meiniang this morning was still unresolved, and now she said something even more inexplicable.
She seriously suspected that Gu Xicheng might have some mental issues.
However, Wang Yanjun's doubts were resolved when the food was served.
Seeing Lu Qing eating with a chicken leg in his left hand and a pork knuckle in his right, his mouth dripping with oil, he finally understood.
This girl is really good with rice!
Besides Wang Yanjun, Meng Lianyun, one of Gu Xicheng's childhood friends, was also eating.
After learning that Lu Qing was Gu Xicheng's fiancée, he was so engrossed in staring at her that he forgot to eat.
"Old Gu, is this girl really your fiancée? She looks so young, is she even an adult yet?" Meng Lianyun said in a low voice.
Lu Qing mumbled something while eating:
"I'm nineteen years old (by Chinese reckoning), and I've already turned eighteen. I'm not young anymore."
Meng Lianyun couldn't help but chuckle at Lu Qing's hamster-like appearance:
"Little sister, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you!"
As he spoke, he pushed the untouched dish in front of him over.
"Thank you, brother!" Lu Qing smiled sweetly.
Meng Lianyun glanced at her, then at the old fox Gu Xicheng, and couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment:
"This girl even speaks so sweetly and softly. If she were to marry Old Gu, how would she possibly tame him?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanjun curled his lip and retorted:
"Old Meng, don't be fooled by this girl's appearance. She looks like a glutinous rice ball, but she's actually made of solid bricks."
Lu Qing was not happy. This morning, Gu Xicheng called her Xue Meiniang, and now Wang Yanjun said she looked like a glutinous rice ball.
What? Can't she be a person?
Lu Qing slammed her chopsticks on the table and said angrily:
"Listen up, you two! I'm a human being, not a mochi or a glutinous rice ball!"
Wang Yanjun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Xicheng, who was feeling guilty:
"Snow Mochi? Is that how you describe her?"
Gu Xicheng coughed lightly, not answering, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yanjun couldn't help but laugh so hard he slapped his thigh:
"Hahaha... Snow Mochi, Old Gu, your description is more accurate!"
Seeing that Lu Qingzhen was really angry, Gu Xicheng quickly patted his older brother, signaling him to stop immediately.
"Sorry! We meant no harm. If you don't like it, we won't say anything more."
Lu Qing knew they meant no harm, so she wasn't really angry. But the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and Lu Qing, who got angry, got mochi.
“Master said that an apology must be sincere. Just saying it is not enough. You have to do something practical.” Lu Qing blinked her big eyes, looking expectant.
Gu Xicheng raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and tentatively asked:
"How about I order you a few mochi?"
Lu Qing immediately replied, "I want the strawberry flavor."
Gu Xicheng chuckled. This girl is just too adorable!
The delivery service quickly brought the mochi to my door; it wasn't just strawberry flavored, but also other new flavors.
"Eat as much as you want, it's on me. Consider it my apology!" Gu Xicheng said with a smile.
"Thanks!"
Lu Qing looked at the table full of mochi and couldn't stop smiling.
The meal lasted almost three hours, and Lu Qing showed no sign of leaving.
Wang Yanjun was getting a little anxious.
"Little girl, have you finished eating? I have things to do this afternoon!"
"Are you going to send away the evil spirit that's been harming Grandma?" Lu Qing asked, but her tone was very certain.
"How did you know?" Wang Yanjun asked.
Lu Qing pointed to the Soul-Suppressing Bottle at his waist:
“I caught that ghost; I can sense its presence.”
"If you're carrying it around in broad daylight, you must be taking it somewhere, not just taking it for a walk!"
Wang Yanjun frowned: "You know I have something important to do, so you're deliberately stalling for time. Why?"
"You'll find out soon enough," Lu Qing said with a mysterious smile.
