Chapter 321 The Person Behind It
Xu Yirou looked at the extremely cozy room in front of her.
The tag on one of the small toys was still attached.
It is obvious how hastily this room was furnished.
Even so, Mr. and Mrs. Shao still looked at him with nervous expressions.
They were afraid that they wouldn't be satisfied.
"Dad, Mom, this room is enough. I like it very much."
Xu Yirou originally wanted to say that this kind of room was something she had never dared to dream of before.
But the words stuck in his throat.
Saying such things at this moment will only make the parents who have just been reunited with their family feel even more pain and guilt.
There's absolutely no need for that.
The hardships of the past are all behind us.
Why let them become thorns in each other's throats that we can neither spit out nor swallow today?
Conversely, living a good life in the future is the best way to embrace happiness.
After hearing Xu Yirou's words, Shao's father and mother were moved by her thoughtfulness and felt even more sorry for her sensible nature.
Many parents hope that their children will be obedient and sensible.
However, what is often overlooked is that the price of being "sensible" in the eyes of adults is often sacrificing one's own well-being.
"Yi Rou, if there's anything you want or like, just tell Mom and Dad, and we'll buy it for you."
Shao's mother spoke eagerly.
What she least wants right now is for Xu Yirou to wrong herself.
Her biological daughter has suffered too many grievances since she was a child.
All she wants now is to pamper her and make her the happiest little princess in the world.
It can be said that now, if Xu Yirou wanted to, Shao's mother would even give her her own heart.
Looking at her parents' concerned faces, Xu Yirou felt a warmth welling up in her heart. She smiled happily and nodded gently, saying, "Okay, Dad, Mom, I will definitely tell you what I want. After all, this is my home. In my own home, in front of my own parents, what can't I say?"
Hearing Xu Yirou say this, Shao's father and mother finally felt relieved.
"Yes! Yes! This is your home. There's nothing you can't say in front of your parents..."
Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Shao had returned to their room to rest with peace of mind.
Xu Yirou also breathed a long sigh of relief.
This feeling of being carefully cared for made her feel somewhat unreal.
I even felt a little nervous.
But……
She truly felt that her biological parents desperately wanted to make amends to her and let her feel the warmth of family.
This discovery allowed Xu Yirou's heart, which had been chilled by countless hardships, to feel a touch of warmth once again.
This warmth rose from the bottom of her heart, spread to every part of her body, and gradually enveloped her.
Until she drifted off to sleep.
Dreams, happiness, sweetness...
Compared to the Gu family, the Su and Shao families are full of happiness.
The Lai family, located in another corner of the capital, was not having such an easy time.
Lai Dafeng was dragged directly out of bed.
He didn't even have time to utter a cry for help.
He was immediately gagged and tied up in an abandoned yard in the suburbs.
After realizing who had kidnapped him.
Lai Dafeng's eyes widened instantly, and he asked in confusion, "Master Cheng... what are you doing?"
There has never been any conflict between him and Cheng Hu!
They even collaborated a few times.
For example, just a few days ago, he had just...
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Cheng Hu then kicked him hard in the chest.
The force was so great that it almost blew his heart out.
"Ah! Master Cheng, what happened? Why are you..."
A hint of resentment flashed in Lai Dafeng's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He then turned to Cheng Hu and spoke in a fawning tone.
Cheng Hu looked at Lai Dafeng's submissive appearance and snorted coldly.
No wonder he's the son of a traitor; even though he was kicked by him for no reason.
Even now, he still acts so obediently, just like a dog.
Indeed, what difference is there between something with the blood of traitors and a dog?
No!
Even comparing them to dogs is an insult to dogs.
"What happened? Humph! You keep telling me that Gu Jianguo and the others have broken away from the Gu family, but you've been hiding from me the fact that Gu Jianguo's unit has become a division commander, and even holds a high position of power! And that Xu Yirou, you say she's just an ordinary woman from the countryside, but in fact, she's the daughter of the Shao family!"
Cheng Hu looked at Lai Dafeng with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.
"You... what did you say? Xu Yirou is the daughter of the Shao family? Then... then Shao Ziyu..." Lai Dafeng felt as if his brain was not enough to process what he was saying.
Xu Yirou is the daughter of the Shao family, so who is Shao Ziyu?
Her son went to great lengths to sleep with her, hoping to use her as a stepping stone to his official career.
"Shao Ziyu? Heh... The Shao Ziyu you're talking about is just the daughter of a convict. It was her own mother who switched her identity with Xu Yirou. Otherwise, how could that Shao Ziyu have enjoyed so many years of wealth and luxury?"
Cheng Hu's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
Although they commit all sorts of evil deeds, they also despise such disgusting and despicable methods.
This is the kind of thing that separates a person from their own flesh and blood, and yet, without realizing it, the person has cherished their enemy's daughter as a treasure for decades.
That's even more cruel than killing someone alive.
Moreover, a black chicken can never become a phoenix.
Even though Shao Ziyu was raised as a rich young lady for more than 20 years.
Yet, they still managed to be tricked by trash like Lai Jinchuan with just a few words.
To put it bluntly, they deserve their lowly fate, and there's no way to change it.
"How...how could this be? No wonder...no wonder...no wonder the Shao family turned their backs on us so easily, saying they wouldn't acknowledge Shao Ziyu as their daughter!"
Lai Dafeng felt that all his doubts had been answered.
He then explained why his meticulously planned scheme had failed so completely.
After working so hard for so long, they haven't gained any benefit from the Shao family at all.
So, all that effort they put into getting her was just a fake heiress!
But……
Lai Dafeng looked at Cheng Hu with some confusion.
"Then, Mr. Cheng, isn't Xu Yirou already in your hands? Since that's the case, why don't you use that to extort another sum from the Shao family? That way you can earn an extra ransom..."
Since we've already offended the Gu and Su families, why not take the Shao family along and make a quick buck?
