CHAPTER 1006: CHAPTER 1008: HOW LAUGHABLE

"Perfect timing, here is the police station—we can ask the police to help us figure out whose daughter the little sister is." Xu Nianji said, immediately informing the police about this. The police were also shocked upon hearing about Xu Nianhua’s bizarre background and stated that they would launch an investigation.

The Xu family left, and until they returned to Grandpa Ji Xinghua’s house, Xu Nianhua was still in a daze.

The Xu Qinghe family was overjoyed; Nianhua had no relation to the Gu Family, which felt like a heavy burden lifted off their hearts, making everyone feel much relieved.

It was Ji Ying who noticed Xu Nianhua’s unease. She asked worriedly, "Nianhua, aren’t you happy that you’re not a daughter of the Gu Family?"

"Happy." Xu Nianhua blinked, only then coming to her senses. Seeing Ji Ying’s worried face, she suppressed her thoughts and smiled, "Mom, I’m happy today. Let’s make something delicious."

Grandpa was there, and Xu Nianhua certainly didn’t want them to worry.

After a lavish lunch celebration, the entire Xu family hurried back home again. Since the Gu Family was unrelated to them, there was no need for them to stay in the city any longer. Zhou He was pregnant, taking care of the child alone at home, and Xu Nianji was also uneasy about it.

Returning home, Zhou He finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that they were all back safe and sound. She was happy for Xu Nianhua knowing she wasn’t the child of the Gu Family. Such parents and sister as the Gu Family weren’t worth having.

Xiong Xihua and Liu Xiaoxiu came over to inquire about the situation, and Ji Ying happily recounted that Nianhua wasn’t the child of the Gu Family and was likely swapped during childbirth at the hospital.

"Swapped?"

Xiong Xihua and the others were greatly surprised. Could things have turned out this way?

"Nianhua is a blessed one." Xiong Xihua comforted her with a cheerful smile.

"Yes, Nianhua is so good. If it were us, we would be cherishing her beyond measure."

After chatting with them for a while, Ji Ying hurried back home. After dinner, she went upstairs to call Xu Nianhua for a bath, only to find her staring blankly out the window.

"Nianhua, it’s time to take a bath." Ji Ying approached, turning on the light, saying, "Why don’t you even turn on the light?"

The sudden light made Xu Nianhua instinctively shield her eyes with her hand.

"What’s the matter?" Ji Ying felt that her daughter’s mood was not quite right.

"Mom."

When Ji Ying came closer, Xu Nianhua hugged her waist, burying her entire face in her chest.

Ji Ying was taken aback for a moment, then gently patted her shoulder, saying, "We should be happy that you have nothing to do with the Gu Family and that you’re not a daughter of theirs."

"Mm, happy."

Xu Nianhua’s voice was hoarse, and once she spoke, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes suddenly fell.

"Cry it out if you’re feeling sad," Ji Ying’s voice was always gentle, but deliberately softening her voice now made Xu Nianhua want to cry even more.

She felt wronged, she felt distressed!

The hardships she suffered all her past life were all because of the Gu Family. The Xu Family was broken and ruined, even though later she avenged herself and caused the Gu Family’s destruction, leaving them unable to rise again. But, so what?

The family she wanted could never come back.

Carrying such regrets, she was reincarnated with great difficulty, yet the Gu Family clung on like a leech, impossible to shake off. If it weren’t for prior precautions, the Xu Family might still not escape being exploited by the Gu Family!

Once, she countless times wanted to bleed out all the blood from her body, just like Nezha, chopping off flesh to return to her mother, scraping bones to return to her father. She hated being a member of the Gu Family.

But now she’s told that she wasn’t a child of the Gu Family.

How laughable it is, that the suffering she went through, the suffering of the Xu Family, was entirely undeserved.
