CHAPTER 468: CHAPTER 441: EXTRA _2

When Nan Yu was thirteen, her foster parents received news that Nan Qingqing was still alive. A month later, they brought Nan Qingqing back.

Afterward, they gave all their love to Nan Qingqing, believing that all the good things in this world should belong to her.

By coincidence, Nan Qingqing’s birth date was close to Nan Yu’s, and their appearances shared some similarities. This gave them an idea.

Using Nan Yu’s belongings, they forged a paternity test and transferred everything that originally belonged to Nan Yu to Nan Qingqing.

They wanted Nan Qingqing to replace Nan Yu as the true heiress, living a good life, while they could use Nan Qingqing to gain access to more resources from the Nan Family’s main house.

Afraid that Nan Yu would find out the truth and ruin their plans, they rushed to marry her off and then drive her out, making way for Nan Qingqing to become the rightful heiress.

Standing homeless in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Nan Yu’s best friend Song Yingqing heard about her flash marriage to Huo Juanyan. Song Yingqing finished her modeling work overnight and traveled from City C to City A to take Nan Yu to her own home.

Her best friend was a model, a darling of the fashion industry, and the exclusive model for Nan Yu’s clothing design brand.

The two met when her best friend was injured while hiking, and Nan Yu—who had just inherited the title of "Chang Ming" from her master—saved her life.

Her best friend revealed that a month ago, Huo Juanyan from the Huo Group suddenly offered a significant sum of money to find Nan Yu, wanting her to treat his leg.

Nan Yu was indifferent. Many people sought her out for treatment, but she couldn’t save everyone. Besides, figures like Huo Juanyan—mysterious and wealthy—with only sparse information available about them online, left her doubting whether he truly had a leg affliction. She decided to deal with it only when he found her.

Song Yingqing speculated that Huo Juanyan might actually be Nan Yu’s new husband.

Nan Yu dismissed the idea, explaining the differences between the two.

Her husband was born disabled, with no facial injuries, and had strikingly handsome features.

The Huo Group tycoon, however, became disabled after a car accident, had half his face disfigured, and often appeared in public wearing a mask.

Furthermore, their backgrounds and levels of influence were worlds apart. The Nan Family couldn’t possibly have ties to such a prestigious family like the Huo Group. If they truly were the same person, it wouldn’t have been her, a foster daughter, who married into their family but Nan Qingqing herself.

Song Yingqing agreed it was unlikely and firmly believed the two weren’t the same person.

The next day, Nan Yu packed her belongings and discovered that the Silver Needle her master left her before passing away was missing. Suspecting it was left at the Nan Family’s house, she immediately rushed back to retrieve it.

That Silver Needle was the only keepsake her master had given her aside from the title of "Chang Ming."

Sheng Ruomei didn’t want to see her and claimed their relationship had already been severed, ordering people to throw Nan Yu out, but someone stopped them.

To her surprise, it was her flash marriage partner’s grandmother, Chi Ying, who intervened.

The day before, upon receiving the marriage certificate, Chi Ying specifically inquired about Nan Yu’s whereabouts, wanting to meet her. Knowing her grandson’s temperament, she presumed he wouldn’t bring Nan Yu to her.

So, Chi Ying called her butler and went directly to the Nan Family’s house to escort Nan Yu to the family mansion for a meal.

Unexpectedly, she walked in on such a scene.

Chi Ying was furious and immediately stood up for Nan Yu, demanding Sheng Ruomei apologize. Nan Luzhi tried to mediate, also pushing Sheng Ruomei to apologize.

Sheng Ruomei reluctantly gave a perfunctory apology, showing no genuine emotion for Nan Yu and even displaying disgust.

Chi Ying was displeased with the attitude, rebuking them further. Feeling pity for Nan Yu, she insisted that Nan Yu take her belongings and leave with her.

Shockingly, the Nan Family feared Nan Yu would steal something and ordered their servants to keep an eye on her.

Chi Ying, now even angrier, fiercely criticized Sheng Ruomei and Nan Luzhi. Being sharp-witted, she connected the dots and realized just how much they resented this daughter.

She declared on the spot that she would protect Nan Yu from then on and warned them to tread carefully.

Nan Yu, seeing Chi Ying defending her, was reminded of her master. Back when her uncle hit her, he too shielded her in the same way.

On the way back with Chi Ying, she noticed Chi Ying was suffering from her chronic headaches.

Nan Yu immediately gave her acupuncture treatment to alleviate the pain, promising she could cure her illness.

Chi Ying had seen countless renowned doctors to no avail. Listening to Nan Yu’s claim, she hesitated but, looking at Nan Yu, ultimately decided to trust her ability.

Upon arriving at the family mansion, Nan Yu barely had a chance to eat with Chi Ying when she got a call from Song Yingqing, saying someone had come looking for her who resembled her uncle’s debt collectors.

Worried for Song Yingqing’s safety, Nan Yu quickly told Chi Ying she had to go back, leaving the Silver Needle at the Huo Family home.
