Qian Gui's affectionate gestures were like the warmest spring sunshine, gently warming Wang Rui's heart and drawing her in completely. At home, Wang Rui always felt like a forgotten flower in a corner, ignored and neglected. However, in Qian Gui's eyes, she was like a dazzling jewel, radiating captivating light. This unprecedented attention and appreciation was like a magical remedy, slowly soothing the deep wounds left by her family of origin.
Just last night, Wang Rui even considered giving up. However, when Qian Gui gently reached out and stroked her hair, that doting "head pat" instantly softened her heart, and all thoughts of leaving vanished in that moment. At the same time, the words Mr. Qian had spoken to her last night kept echoing in her mind.
After a night of deep thought, she realized clearly that this situation was bound to happen sooner or later. After all, given her parents' consistent behavior, they would inevitably expect the better-off children to support their less fortunate siblings. But is there any logic in this world where "the weak are always right"? Thinking of this, Wang Rui couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Faced with such a situation, what would be the most appropriate way to deal with it?
Before she could figure out what to do next, she never expected that when she and Qian Mao went to the pants factory, they were seen by her sister who was visiting Guangzhou.
Qian Gui was a handsome man with striking features: sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-defined facial contours. At this moment, he wore a well-tailored and clean suit, which perfectly accentuated his physique, making him appear exceptionally energetic.
His appearance instantly caught Wang Hua's attention, making her eyes light up. At this moment, she completely forgot about the relationship between this man and Wang Rui. In her opinion, among all the men she had met in Pengcheng, none possessed the unique aura of a successful person like the man before her. This aura was like a dazzling light, deeply attracting Wang Hua's attention.
As if guided by a ghost, Wang Hua quietly followed behind Qian Gui and Wang Rui. While following them, she keenly noticed the slightly doting look in Qian Gui's eyes when he looked at Wang Rui, as if she were a precious jewel he held dear. At the same time, Qian Gui wore a warm, spring-like smile, full of love and care. Wang Rui, on the other hand, lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, revealing a shy and delicate appearance, like a blooming water lily trembling in the cool breeze.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hua felt a pang of unease. She clenched her teeth, silently vowing, "This absolutely shouldn't have turned out this way!" Her initial lighthearted mood vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of disappointment and resentment. Ultimately, Wang Hua lost all interest in continuing her trip, hurriedly bought a ticket back to Pengcheng, and embarked on her journey home.
Wang Hua told his parents what he had discovered, and said to his mother, "Mom, Xiao Rui has a boyfriend outside, and this boyfriend seems to be quite rich."
Mrs. Wang knew perfectly well that Wang Rui had now become the right-hand assistant to the big boss of Wanmao Company, and the people she could associate with were naturally extraordinary and incredibly wealthy. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, and she hurriedly said, "Oh dear, that's wonderful! Later, I'll definitely have our little Rui introduce you to all of her boyfriend's friends."
After listening, Wang Hua thought for a moment, then gently shook his head and replied firmly, "No, Mom, I don't want anyone else, I only want Xiao Rui's boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was greatly surprised. She stared at Wang Hua with wide eyes and asked anxiously, "What on earth are you thinking about, child?"
Wang Hua, however, acted nonchalant, pouting and plopping down on the sofa, muttering, "Hmph, I just think Xiao Rui's boyfriend is pretty good. Not only is he handsome and energetic, but he also exudes an air of nobility."
The Queen Mother looked troubled and hesitantly advised, "I'm afraid this isn't quite right..." However, before she could finish, Wang Hua rudely interrupted her. He pouted and angrily shouted, "Not right? What's wrong with it! If it weren't for her, how would I have fallen into the water? If I hadn't fallen in, how would I have contracted that damned pneumonia? It's made my health so bad even now. So, it's all her fault!"
Sitting by the bedside, Wang's mother's eyes were somewhat unfocused, her thoughts drifting back to the harrowing experience Wang Hua had as a child. Back then, little Wang Hua suddenly developed a high fever, and was subsequently diagnosed with severe pneumonia, his life hanging by a thread. The doctors fought desperately to save him, but the situation was extremely critical, and the young boy almost perished. It was this bout of pneumonia that depleted the family's already meager savings, and the thought of it caused Wang's mother a sharp pang of pain.
After a while, Wang's mother took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and said to Wang Hua, "I'll talk to Xiao Rui when she comes back." However, Wang Hua snorted coldly and complained angrily, "She's the assistant to the boss of a big company now, she's got a lot of wings! She's holding her head high. She doesn't come back whenever she wants, who knows what she's doing out there! Maybe she's cheating on her boyfriend with someone else!" These words did sound harsh and unpleasant, but surprisingly, Wang's mother, who always protected her daughter, didn't say anything to refute or stop her this time.
At that moment, Wang's father and son, Wang Guo, stood quietly outside the door, their conversation between the mother and daughter inside clearly reaching their ears. They exchanged a glance, seeing the same confusion and worry in each other's eyes. Wang Guo quietly reached out and tugged at his father's sleeve, gesturing for him to come outside. Wang's father looked bewildered, not understanding what his son was trying to do, but obediently followed him out of the room.
Wang Guo led his father to a secluded corner before stopping. He first looked around warily to make sure no one was around, then turned to his father, staring directly at him, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, is Second Sister really your and Mom's biological daughter?" Upon hearing this, Wang's father's eyes widened, and he roared, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting! Of course Xiao Rui is our biological child, there's no doubt about it!"
