Ye Xingbei said, “I can pretend to be your wife, but, I can only act in name. I won’t fulfill any duties or responsibilities of a wife. After marriage, we will split everything equally live our own lives, and won’t interfere with each other!”
Gu Junzhu smiled and agreed without hesitation, “That’s exactly what I had in mind. This is perfect.”
“Alright,” Ye Xingbei extended her hand, “It’s a deal!”
Gu Junzhu laughed and high-fived her, “Let’s work well together.”
Ye Xingbei took a deep breath, nervously looking at him and asked, “Can you tell me now, who are my birth parents? Are they still alive? Do I have any brothers or sisters?”
Seeing her anxious, pale face, Gu Junzhu paused before he said, “They are no longer in this world…”
The color drained from Ye Xingbei’s face, her limbs went weak, and she stared at Gu Junzhu intently.
Gu Junzhu continued, “However, you have two elder brothers, and they are living very well.”
“Blood…brothers…” Ye Xingbei’s already pale face turned a shade of excited red, “I have brothers? Who are they? Where are they? Where can I find them?”
She had blood brothers!
God knew how much she yearned for family affection!
How she wished she had her own family!
She actually had brothers!
She desired to meet them so badly!
Even though Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were her parents in name, she had never felt any parental affection from them.
To her, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were no better than strangers.
Knowing that Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were not her birth parents, she felt relieved.
After all, no one wants to be detested, slandered, and framed by their own parents.
Being so detested by her own parents was her failure in life.
She often questioned herself if she was not good enough, or if she was annoying. Maybe these were the reasons her parents treated her that way.
Knowing Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were not her real parents, she felt considerably relieved.
If Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were not her real parents, their dislike towards her was justified.
After all, she was not borne by them, nor were she raised by them. Living under their name, she was spending their money, and might even receive their inheritance in the future. Under such circumstances, it would be normal if they didn’t like her.
Later, they tried every means to drive her away, which made perfect sense as well.
However, if she was not Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai’s daughter, why did her grandfather find her and produce a DNA test to prove she was his granddaughter?
Was it a misunderstanding, or a conspiracy?
Ye Xingbei stared intently at Gu Junzhu, not even daring to blink, afraid that she might miss any word that he said.
She looked anxious and abnormally pale, staring at Gu Junzhu tense.
Gu Junzhu, feeling somewhat sorry for her, didn’t string her along any longer. He directly said, “Your birth parents are Jiang Zhengwei and Xie Qingyue, that is, the elder brother and sister-in-law of Jiang Zhengxing. You are not the son of the second branch of the Jiang family. You are the legitimate eldest granddaughter of the main branch of the Jiang family!”
Ye Xingbei looked at Gu Junzhu, shocked, and it took her a while to regain her senses.
She was not the daughter of Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai.
She was the daughter of her eldest uncle and aunt.
But, her eldest uncle and aunt had already died in a car accident many years ago.
That is to say, if what Gu Junzhu said was true, her birth parents had already died.
She had never seen her parents, and they were already dead!
Suddenly, her heart began to race, she had difficulty breathing, and she couldn’t catch her breath.
She knew, she was having a fit of illness..
