Ye Xingbei said, “I can pretend to be a couple with you but I can only be a nominal wife. I will not fulfill any of the duties and responsibilities of a wife. After marriage, we will do our separate things and live our own lives without disturbing each other!”
Without even thinking about it, Gu Junzhu smiled and nodded, “This is great. I also have the same idea.”
“Okay,” Ye Xingbei extended her hand. “That’s settled then!”
Gu Junzhu smiled as he shook her hand. “For a pleasant cooperation.”
Taking several deep breaths, Ye Xingbei looked at him and asked nervously, “You can tell me now. Who are my biological parents? Are they still alive? Do I still have other brothers and sisters?”
Looking at her face go pale from anxiety, Gu Junzhu was silent for a short moment before he spoke, “They are no longer alive…”
The blood in Ye Xingbei’s face drained out and her limbs became wobbly as she stared intently at Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu continued saying, “But you still have two biological brothers. They are living very well today.”
“Biological brothers…” Ye Xingbei’s deathly pale face flushed red with excitement. “I have biological brothers? Who are they? Where are they? Where can I find them?”
She actually had biological brothers!
Only heaven knew how much she craved for family affection!
How she wished that she had her own family!
Unexpectedly, she had biological brothers!
She wanted to see them so badly!
Although Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were her parents by name, she had never felt them behave like parents.
To her, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were worse than strangers.
Knowing that Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai weren’t her biological parents, she felt relieved instead.
After all, no one wanted to be hated, slandered and framed by their biological parents.
It would be a failure to her conduct if she was loathed and disgusted by her own parents like that.
She often wondered if she wasn’t good enough and if her personality was that hateful that she had no way of being liked or recognized. Perhaps that was why her biological parents treated her like that.
But now that she found out that Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai weren’t her biological parents, she felt extremely relieved.
If Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were not her biological parents, it would only be expected that they didn’t like her.
After all, they did not sire her and she wasn’t raised by them either. For Ye Xingbei to be recognized under their names meant that she was spending their money. Maybe in the future, she would also get her own share of their assets. This was something that most normal people wouldn’t like.
Afterwards, that they would rack their brains to drive her away was simply a matter of course.
But, since she wasn’t Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai’s daughter, why did Grandpa bring her back and even did a paternity test to prove that she was his biological granddaughter?
Could there be a misunderstanding or even a conspiracy within this matter?
Ye Xingbei stared at Gu Junzhu unceasingly without even daring to blink her eyes. She was afraid of missing every single word that Gu Junzhu said.
She looked frightened and uneasy. Her small face was deathly pale as her gaze stuck on Gu Junzhu anxiously.
Being stared at with that kind of gaze from her, Gu Junzhu felt that this little girl was a bit pitiful and without drawing out any suspense, he answered directly, “Your biological parents are Jiang Zhengwei and Xie Qinyue. They are also Jiang Zhengxing’s older brother and sister-in-law. You aren’t the daughter of the second branch of the Jiang family. You’re the first daughter of the eldest son, who is from the main branch of the Jiang family.”
Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu in shock. Half a day passed before she could regain her senses.
She wasn’t Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai’s daughter.
She was Eldest Uncle and Aunt’s daughter.
But Eldest Uncle and Aunt had already passed away—they died in a car accident many years ago.
That also meant that if what Gu Junzhu said was true, her biological parents were already dead.
She had never seen her parents’ faces yet they were already dead!
All of a sudden, her heart started beating frantically and she had to expend a great deal of effort to gasp for air.
She realized that she was having an episode.
