Chapter 67: The Cusp
Zhao Xianrou then sobbed and told the whole story. She did not tell the other party that the instigator of all this was her biological mother. She only hinted to Yang Ziyi that the swap between the two of them was artificial, and secretly pointed the finger at the Feng family.
Yang Ziyi did not interrupt Xianrou from beginning to end. He was a little surprised at first, but as she continued to talk, he slowly returned to a blank expression. After listening to her words, he asked:
"Besides your parents, who else knows about this?"
"I only told you because I didn't want you to hear this news from anyone else."
There was a hint of reluctance and heartache in Zhao Xianrou's red eyes as she looked at Yang Ziyi and said.
"What does Uncle Zhao mean?"
Yang Ziyi asked very calmly.
"I don't know what my father is planning. After all, that girl has never been with them. She is only attending an ordinary high school in a small place. She has a deep relationship with my biological parents and doesn't want to transfer to the Magic City."
Zhao Xianrou told the truth, after all, it was Lianyi who said it herself.
Yang Ziyi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then he raised his hand and patted Zhao Xianrou's shoulder and said:
"Xianrou, I know about this matter. This is not something we can interfere with. The best way right now is to wait and see."
Before Yang Ziyi finished speaking, he saw a trace of disappointment in her delicate eyes. Tears fell like beads from a broken string, and she choked and said to him:
"Ziyi, I understand. Don't worry, I won't bother you."
After saying that, he covered his face, turned around and ran away.
Yang Ziyi's raised hand was still in the air as he looked at the girl's receding back. A hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes. He then put his hand down and stood for a while before turning around and leaving. Naturally, he had to tell his parents such important news. After all, the person he was going to be engaged to was the daughter of the Zhao family.
After Yang Ziyi left, another girl walked out from behind a thick sycamore tree. The girl was wearing a school uniform and had a well-proportioned figure. She had light makeup on her face, which weakened the overly mature charm on her face. She looked pure, generous and charming.
Wei Xinyi curled her lips and smiled. She felt that today was a really good day as she unexpectedly heard such good news.
In her eyes, Yang Ziyi had long been her target, but she had not taken action because of Zhao Xianrou's family background and the relationship between the Zhao and Yang families. Now that she knew that Zhao Xianrou was not the Zhao family's biological daughter, her chance naturally came.
In the eyes of these big families, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. The marriage of the children of the Yang and Zhao families is just a marriage of money and power. It doesn't matter who it is, but it definitely won't be the fake Zhao Xianrou.
As for the real daughter of the Zhao family, from Zhao Xianrou's tone, she didn't seem to be very outstanding or presentable. Now that the last obstacle has been removed, she has no reason not to take action. After all, their Wei family is only slightly worse than the Zhao family.
Wei Xinyi's smile gradually widened, and then she turned and left her hiding place, disappearing on the campus.
In the Magic City, Zhao Xianrou couldn't hold it in any longer and automatically revealed the news. The Yang, Wei, Zhao, and Zhou families fell into a strange silence for a moment.
After Zhao Fenglin learned that it was Xianrou who took the initiative to reveal the news to the Yang family, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. The other party was too eager and told the news to the person who should not know it. Perhaps even this marriage could not be maintained in the future.
His daughter Lianyi is very smart. She knows very well that with her current situation, it is very difficult for her to squeeze into the circle of Magic City. Not to mention her starting point, even Zhao Xianrou will definitely make things difficult for her, so she wisely chooses to avoid the limelight and set her sights on the capital where the Zhao family is about to move.
Doing so can not only accumulate capital for herself, but also temporarily avoid becoming the focus of public discussion, reduce Xianrou's hostility, and make them as parents worry about her, so they will be doubly nice to her. After all, a biological daughter's resources cannot be worse than an adopted daughter's.
Zhao Fenglin is still quite proud of himself. His daughter has the same style as himself in his youth. In comparison, she seems delicate, disorganized, and even a little concerned with the present and not the future.
Zhao Xianrou has put herself in dire straits. As the news that she is not Zhao Fenglin's biological daughter continues to ferment under Wei Xinyi's deliberate spread, everyone in the upper circles of Shanghai knows what they should know, and everyone is waiting to see how the Zhao family will treat Xianrou.
Everyone is discussing openly:
"Should we call her Zhao Xianrou or Wu Xianrou now? She is studying in the Magic City, so far away from her biological parents. Won't they miss her? We finally found our biological daughter."
"So what? Even a fool would know what to choose! They naturally know which is better for their daughter, being the adopted daughter of the Zhao family or going back to the Wu family."
"In that case, will the marriage between the Zhao family and the Yang family continue?"
“It’s hard to say. Although Xianrou is not the Zhao family’s biological daughter, she has been trained since she was a child. Apart from the lack of blood relationship, she is still worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Yang family.
As for the biological daughter, although the blood relationship cannot be severed, she does not have a deep relationship with the Zhao family and has not been nurtured by the big family. She may be lacking in some aspects and cannot play the role of a link.
If it were you, what would you choose? "
"If I were Yang Ziyi, I would choose the Zhao family's biological daughter."
A young man with his legs crossed said.
"Why?"
"It's easy to coax someone who doesn't know anything! This is a marriage that is mutually beneficial. Since she didn't grow up in the Magic City, she must have some inferiority complex. As long as I give her enough face and don't overdo it, it will naturally be good for you, me, and everyone else!"
The young man spoke with great joy, as if the timid girl was right in front of him, looking at him with admiration.
"You make a lot of sense."
"Of course!"
"Hahaha! Are you planning on having two, three, or four more lovers?"
“.”
The few people who were discussing it laughed unscrupulously.
Zhao Xianrou, who was standing at the corner of the building, clutched the textbook tightly in front of her chest. Her knuckles had turned white from the force.
She heard clearly what these people were talking about. They had no intention of avoiding her. If she hadn't had a cold face recently, these people would have come to her and asked questions long ago.
"Xianrou, why are you here? Eavesdropping is not good!"
Wei Xinyi seemed to have just noticed Zhao Xianrou and deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of the group of people.
Zhao Xianrou looked at the confident girl in front of her, relaxed her hand holding the book, and said in a calm voice:
"Do I need to eavesdrop? Aren't they just saying this for me?"
After saying that, he walked out from the corner, towards the group of people who were discussing enthusiastically just now, came in front of the group of people of the same age, and said in a calm voice:
"Whether it's me or Lianyi who is marrying into the Yang family, it's not your turn to comment. But you did remind me. I will tell father what you said, so that sister Lianyi won't become a puppet after the marriage."
