Chapter 3 Visit
"Madam, Miss Yingxue has arrived. She says she's come to visit the eldest young lady!"
Gu Shuyan had just realized this and hadn't had time to confirm it when a maidservant quickly walked in, curtsied to Madam Ji, and reported.
Upon hearing that Gu Yingxue had arrived, Gu Shuyan's pupils contracted, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred. Had she not forcibly restrained her emotions, Gu Shuyan would likely have already rushed out and taken Gu Yingxue's life.
Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Madam Ji's face. "What is she doing here? Tell her to go back and stay there. She's not here to get in the way."
Ji's words were very forceful, and those who didn't know the situation would only think that she had found her biological daughter, which was why she disliked this adopted daughter.
But Gu Shuyan knew that her mother didn't really dislike Gu Yingxue. On the contrary, she did this for the sake of both her and Gu Yingxue.
After all, he had been raised in the countryside for more than ten years and knew nothing about the etiquette of wealthy families. If he saw Gu Yingxue, who had been carefully raised since childhood, he would inevitably feel sad.
Gu Yingxue, who had been a rich young lady for so many years, suddenly became the daughter of a country girl, which inevitably drew criticism.
Ultimately, the reason why Madam Ji kept Gu Yingxue in confinement was to prevent the gossip of others from affecting her two daughters.
“Mother, since Yingxue is here, let her in. I also want to meet this sister who was switched at birth with me.”
Gu Shuyan smiled innocently at Madam Ji, seemingly unconcerned that Gu Yingxue had taken her place.
Even though she tried to hide it well, her hands were still gripping the blanket tightly.
In her previous life, Gu Yingxue had come to see her on the day she woke up, but Gu Shuyan was frightened on her way back and developed a sense of rejection towards the people and things in the Hou Mansion. In addition, due to Ji Shi's tough attitude, she did not see Gu Yingxue that day.
Now that God has given her a second chance at life, Gu Shuyan naturally wants to meet her adopted sister, with whom she has a deep-seated blood feud.
Madam Ji originally did not intend to see Gu Yingxue at this time, but since her daughter had spoken up, she naturally could not refuse. So after thinking about it, she had someone bring Gu Yingxue in.
"The daughter has met her mother and her sister."
Today, Gu Yingxue wore a pale yellow satin dress embroidered with butterflies, her hair styled in a high bun, making her look even more charming and lovely. From the moment she entered, every step and every movement was impeccable, exuding an air of elegance and grace. Although there were still some shortcomings, at least in Gu Shuyan's eyes at this age, everything about her was so outstanding that it made Gu Shuyan feel inferior.
Was love waiting for him here? Did he think he would feel ashamed of himself seeing her like this?
Unfortunately, she was no longer the naive village girl from her past life, but a living Yama who had come to take her life.
Gu Shuyan sneered inwardly upon thinking of this, and as her gaze swept across the woman's face, it instantly transformed into an expression of envy.
“Mother, Yingxue is so beautiful! At first glance, I thought she was a fairy descended from heaven! Back in the village, I always thought the village chief’s daughter was the most beautiful and elegant, but compared to her, the village chief’s daughter is not even a tenth as beautiful as her.”
Gu Shuyan spoke without any restraint, appearing naive and saying whatever came to mind. However, it was precisely her envious look that made Ji Shi, who was standing to the side, feel a pang of sadness.
