Heritage, what does it mean?
Huo Yuxuan panicked. She didn't know what was inside, but the only thing she was sure of was that this was something that could definitely "kill her."
She thought that as long as the dean died, this matter would remain a secret forever. How could she have imagined that there would be a former teacher who knew her identity, let alone the so-called "legacy"?
She panicked and tried to get up, but the bodyguard pushed her back down, knocking her knees against the ground. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even breathe...
…
VIP lounge.
Lu Qingyi was so weak that she had no strength left. She leaned on her husband, her eyes fixed on Ji Shuyu. But from beginning to end, the girl who always smiled gently when she saw her never looked at her again, not even once.
The lawyer opened the box and found some bank bills, a letter, and a recorder inside.
Huo Yuxuan wanted to come over and grab it, but was suppressed and couldn't stand up.
Is this her "legacy," the truth she's hiding?
Ji Shuyu looked at her, then looked at Huo Yuxuan who was kneeling on the ground with a panicked look on her face.
Even at this point, she still wants to fight to the death, right?!
She sneered, then glanced at Lu Qingyi again and turned on the recording directly.
"Ms. Huo, why are you engaged to Mr. Gu?"
I pressed the play button and heard the dean's anxious voice.
"Isn't Gu Xianbei Xiaoyu's boyfriend?"
"Xiaoyu?" Huo Yuxuan's voice came out, "Does Ji Shuyu know that you are so affectionate?"
"But..." The dean was at a loss, "We can't snatch away her lover too~"
"You already have everything, why do you have to snatch Gu Xianbei! With the Huo family's family background, what do you want?"
The dean was a little angry, but he didn't dare to show it. It was as if he had been suppressed for a long time but was unable to resist.
"Yes, with the Huo family's background, I have everything I want, so I want Gu Xiuyuan." She said confidently. "As long as I want it, everything is mine."
"Give up!" The dean almost begged, "Otherwise, I will tell Xiaoyu and the Huo family that you are a fake!!"
Hahahaha…
The laughter in the recording was extremely arrogant.
"Then you!" Huo Yuxuan sneered, "When the time comes, let everyone know how many dirty and immoral things you, the beloved dean, have done behind the scenes."
"Also let the Huo family know that you sold their own daughter's blood, causing Ji Shuyu to be abused and nearly buried alive..."
Ji Shuyu's legs went limp instantly after hearing this, and Gu Xiuyuan reached out to support her.
At 6:00 pm, buried alive?
So, what she meant was that it was an adoption, and it was completely premeditated!
Ji Shuyu recalled the "峓辰" mentioned in the comments during the previous orphanage bullying incident.
From the time he saw the necklace, to the time he remembered that the necklace was on Huo Yuxuan, to the time he saw it now, it didn't take long.
She didn't have the time or the energy to think about why Huo Yuxuan became the daughter of the Huo family. She didn't have time to think about why things had turned out like this. She only knew that the relative she had been thinking about and longing for had become the one who hurt her the most.
only……
Even if she thought about it, she would not have thought that everything was not a coincidence.
It turns out that from the moment she was adopted, the director knew her fate.
"Oh, and did you know that Ji Shuyu was nearly burned to death by her adoptive father seeking revenge?" Huo Yuxuan continued to laugh. "He's currently locked up in a mental hospital. Do you want me to take you to see him?"
"Tell me, if the Huo family knew about this, would they let you go?" Huo Yuxuan threatened lightly, "Gu Xiuyuan, will they let you go? Do you know what happened to those who hurt Ji Shuyu..."
"You threatened me!" The dean's voice trembled even more violently, and he even started crying. "You forced me to do this."
She was at a loss and regretful, as if she regretted her past actions, but there was nothing she could do.
"Dean, you're wrong to say that. I was only eight years old back then. How could I possibly threaten you?" Huo Yuxuan said lightly. "I was helping you!" she laughed. "Besides, didn't you agree with my suggestion?"
"Ji Shuyu was adopted by the Gu family. I'll keep the secret that you sold Ji Shuyu and nearly killed her, and you'll help me get into the Huo family. Dean, this is mutually beneficial..."
“No!!” The dean seemed unwilling to face his own wrongdoings and collapsed.
"You know it well enough." Huo Yuxuan had lost her patience. "You'd better watch your mouth, or else... be careful of your sickly son."
After the recording ended, Lu Qingyi collapsed to the ground...
"What are they talking about?" Lu Qingyi looked up at her husband, then at Ji Shuyu, whose face was grim. "What, what... buried alive?"
Ji Shuyu listened, turned her head and leaned into Gu Xiuyuan's arms.
Gu Xiuyuan's heart was trembling violently.
Now I understand why the orphanage couldn't find any information about those children, and why there was no clue about Xiaoyu's background after searching for so long.
The lawyer was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the kind-looking dean would do such a thing.
"When the dean entrusted me with the task, he earnestly requested that I be allowed to apologize to you on your behalf," said the lawyer.
"I'm sorry?" Ji Shuyu suddenly wanted to laugh after hearing this. "If I had died at the time, could her apology have brought back my life?"
She changed her life and even changed the fate of her child!!
Now let someone else say sorry to her? !
Oh……
"I don't accept it."
She looked at the recorder in her hand, then threw it at Lu Qingyi's feet.
She hadn't wanted the Huo family to know who she was. She simply wanted to expose Huo Yuxuan's identity and let Lu Qingyi know that the treasure in her hands was fake.
All she wanted was for anyone who hurt her baby to suffer and pay the price!
Huo Yuxuan looked at the recorder and instinctively reached out to grab it, but Lu Qingyi was one step faster.
Lu Qingyi turned on the recording with trembling hands, confirming the voice over and over again.
It really is the voice of "Xuanxuan".
So from the beginning to the end, her coming to the Huo family was planned!
Because Huo Jiaxuan was looking for his daughter, and because she had something on the dean, she used an unauthorized identity and entered the Huo family!
She usurped the identity of 'Xuanxuan' and took the love that should have belonged to her daughter.
That doesn't count. She clearly knew Xiaoyu's identity, yet she still provoked her everywhere, even...even forcing her to snatch Xiaoyu's lover?!
She actually used them to hurt her own daughter?
Lu Qingyi looked at the child she had doted on for over a decade, kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt terrified. When she was brought back to the Huo family, she was only eight years old, yet she had such scheming and methods.
"Mommy, no..."
Huo Yuxuan still tried to struggle, but was pushed away by Lu Qingyi.
She stumbled towards Ji Shuyu. She looked at the girl in front of her and wanted to touch her face, but Ji Shuyu waved her away.
"Xiao Yu."
Lu Qingyi seemed to feel no pain, nor did she mind this feeling of weakness.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: this was her daughter who had been stranded away from home...
"I'm sorry, Mommy is late, I'm sorry..." Lu Qingyi's voice trembled, and tears fell one after another.
Why is she so thin!
Why does your face look so pale?
Looking at her now, Lu Qingyi recalled the hardships and difficulties she had faced since they met, the bullying she had endured, the coffee she had thrown on her...
My heart aches as if it's being torn apart.
Ji Shuyu looked at her with tears in her eyes, but smiled.
Changing faces is so fast!
Looking at her like this, it was impossible to tell how she had pushed her away so hard for Huo Yuxuan in the hotel!
"I'm Mommy~" she said, looking back at her husband helplessly, "Xiao Yu..."
Why did Xiaoyu treat her like this? Did she do something wrong?
"Please, Miss Ji..."
"No, no!" Lu Qingyi shook her head. "Didn't you hear it? The dean said you are my daughter. You are..."
"You believe the words of a liar?" Ji Shuyu scoffed. "Take your daughter to get a paternity test! Don't wrongly accuse your baby."
"No, no."
