Now, thinking back on it, she became suspicious and secretly took Lin Xinwan's hair for a paternity test. The test results showed that Lin Xinwan was her daughter, and Lu Yaoyao had no blood relation to her whatsoever. However, it was true that Lu Yaoyao was Lu's father's daughter, but she was born to another woman.
Because Mr. Lu refused to let his daughter acknowledge her ancestors and return to the Lu family, that woman came up with this vicious plan: she switched her daughter with Mrs. Lu's daughter, and deliberately sent Mrs. Lu's daughter to a poor mountain village, making her suffer greatly as she grew up.
This fact nearly drove Mrs. Lu to madness, leaving her unable to accept it.
The situation took a dramatic turn. Lin Xinwan suddenly became the legitimate eldest daughter of the Lu family, while Lu Yaoyao became an illegitimate child. Moreover, she had known all along that she was an illegitimate child because her biological mother had used her birth as leverage to extract a considerable amount of money from her since childhood.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Chen Nian. It was just that Lu Yaoyao and Chen Nian met at a banquet. After that, Chen Nian maintained close contact with Lu Yaoyao for the sake of her work and tried to please Lu Yaoyao in many ways.
She and Lu Yaoyao became best friends.
When Lu Yaoyao worked as Lin Xinwan's maid, she made things difficult for Lin Xinwan in various ways. When Chen Nian visited the Lu family, she often spoke up for Lu Yaoyao because she couldn't stand Lin Xinwan.
After the Lu sisters' background was dramatically revealed, it was leaked online by someone. Lu Yaoyao quickly became the target of discussion and venting by numerous tabloids and trolls.
Although Lu Yaoyao is not Mrs. Lu's daughter, she is indeed a child of the Lu family. Mr. Lu could not bear to see his daughter suffer, so he immediately tried to divert the attention of various tabloids and trolls.
But he couldn't find enough juicy material to attract the media in a short time, so he thought of "faking" it.
He had Chen Nian pushed out, especially the video of Chen Nian helping Lu Yaoyao make things difficult for Lin Xinwan at the Lu family. With a few modifications, it became that Chen Nian not only made things difficult for Lin Xinwan herself, but also encouraged Lu Yaoyao. This made many people think that Chen Nian was the culprit behind the bad relationship between the Lu sisters, and that she had been sowing discord.
Chen Nian was quickly doxxed, leading to her job loss. Tang Zhi, who was still in a relationship with her, was also exposed by tabloid reporters, causing his company's performance to plummet. Tang Zhi broke up with her because of this, and no matter how much she tried to win him back, she couldn't keep the lover she believed she had a deep bond with for decades.
Tang Zhi had actually liked Lin Xinwan for a long time, but he was held back by Chen Nian's long-standing relationship with him and Lin Xinwan's lack of explicit expression of affection.
He disdains pursuing a working-class woman.
But things are different now. Lin Xinwan has become Lu Xinwan, the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, who will inherit the Lu family's business in the future.
After breaking up with Chen Nian, he immediately began pursuing Lin Xinwan relentlessly. However, this behavior disgusted the male lead, Tian Jun. Furthermore, the Tian family was powerful and influential, and Lin Xinwan was now being pushed by the Lu family to marry into the Tian family. Tang Zhi's company, only ten years old, simply couldn't compete, and ultimately had to withdraw.
Chen Nian was doxxed and attacked by trolls, forcing her to retreat to her hometown. However, with the internet so readily available, her hometown was also connected to the internet long ago. Because of her situation, her parents were ostracized in the village, so as soon as she returned, she was subjected to a barrage of verbal abuse from her parents and brothers.
All of this happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that she couldn't accept it. The attitudes of her closest relatives and loved ones, in particular, left her disillusioned with the world. A few days after returning home, she committed suicide by drinking pesticide.
Chu Nian transmigrated to a time just before Lin Xinwan left Tang Zhi's company. At this point, the original owner of the body, Chen Nian, had already had a rather strained relationship with Tang Zhi. It was only because Lin Xinwan took the initiative to leave that Chen Nian stopped arguing with Tang Zhi and threatening to break up.
Although the original owner of Chen Nian died with a lot of resentment, she didn't know who she should hate. She hated Tang Zhi, Lin Xinwan, the Lu family, and those trolls she didn't know or had never met, but she also hated her parents and brothers.
Lin Xinwan works outside to earn money and support several people in the countryside. But isn't she doing the same? Over the past ten years, her parents and brothers have used her money to build several small houses and live a very comfortable life.
But when she got into trouble, instead of helping her, they didn't even offer a few words of comfort. Instead, they cursed and insulted her with extremely vicious words, just like those trolls.
Tang Zhi and the Chen family were her closest relatives, but when she was in trouble, they abandoned her without hesitation!
Chu Nian looked up and saw bright stars in the night sky, and the negative emotions brought about by sorting out the original owner's memories were swept away.
The lobby door was opened, and Tang Zhi started nagging again: "Chen Nian, what exactly do you want? If you feel so wronged being with me, and can't accept that I show even a little bit of care for my employees, then fine, let's just break up as you said."
"Fine, let's break up!" Chu Nian replied coolly.
"What?" Tang Zhi had already figured out that Chen Nian didn't want to break up at all, so he was a little stunned to hear her agree to break up so readily. "What did you say?"
The original owner did indeed threaten Tang Zhi with breaking up, and Tang Zhi ambiguously agreed. However, although Lin Xinwan had been calmly caught in the middle of the two during this time, she didn't seem to have developed enough affection for Tang Zhi, so she took the initiative to resign and leave.
To reiterate, although Tang Zhi felt Lin Xinwan was better than Chen Nian, he didn't want to pursue Lin Xinwan too actively. After Lin Xinwan resigned, their contact decreased. Tang Zhi then contacted Chen Nian to tell her that Lin Xinwan had resigned.
Chen Nian didn't really want to break up with Tang Zhi, so she took the opportunity to get back together with him.
At this moment, although Tang Zhi had only agreed to Chen Nian's earlier breakup in anger, his feelings for her were actually quite different from before. He had been captivated by Lin Xinwan's considerate yet pitiful demeanor, as well as her charming appearance.
But hearing Chu Nian so calmly agree to break up made him feel very uncomfortable.
Chu Nian turned to look at him, her voice still cold and indifferent: "I said, fine, let's break up!" Then she smiled.
Tang Zhi stared at her in astonishment, noticing an unprecedented brightness in her eyes, a hint of mockery in her upturned lips, and a cold, indifferent smile. This was not the Chen Nian he knew.
Tang Zhi suppressed his anger and said, "I think we need to calm down, I..."
Chu Nian: "It's getting late, I need to go home."
Chen Nian and Tang Zhi had been dating for many years and had discussed marriage several times, but because they both came from rural areas and were relatively conservative in their thinking, they did not live together.
