The Bai Youran in her previous life really had no saving graces.
Besides her looks, her greatest advantage was her status as the Bai family’s daughter. This had ensured that she had sailed smoothly through life.
Gu Qingyao could not bring herself to rejoice at this piece of news.
She had been too sheltered in her previous life. Bai Youran was the one who had hurt her the most, but she had not investigated Bai Youran properly… she had brought it on herself!
Gu Qingyao suddenly gave a dreary chuckle!
Gu Jinhang was shocked by her expression!
“Younger Cousin, what’s the matter?”
“Ah? Nothing…” Gu Qingyao recovered. “Nothing much, I’m just… surprised! The Bai family dotes on Bai Youran. She’s the only girl in the entire family! To think that she might be Zhang Xiaohui’s daughter is really… absurd. If it really is Bai Youran, then… where has the Bai family’s real daughter gone?”
Gu Jinhang laughed coldly. “You’ll have to ask Zhang Xiaohui that. But that’s not the main point that I want to discuss with you.”
Gu Qingyao was startled. “What is it then?”
“The crucial point is that if Bai Youran is really Zhang Xiaohui’s daughter, and she was swapped by Zhang Xiaohui in the past, how do you think the Bai family will react when they find out ?’
Gu Qingyao suddenly fell silent!
After a long pause, Gu Qingyao finally said, “Second Brother, are you trying to say that if the Bai family’s child cannot be found, or if the girl is dead, then Bai Youran will still be the young lady of the Bai family? Is that right?”
Gu Jinhang smiled sardonically. “At least, I think that’s most likely. I’ve been in the capital for a few years, and I’ve interacted with the Bai family. I think that the family is selfish and thinks only of its own profit. If the original girl is dead, and they have raised Bai Youran for so many years, they will not abandon her so casually. They must use her for a marriage alliance to make it worth their while.”
Gu Qingyao did not say anything. She knew that what her Second Cousin had said made sense.
She suddenly wondered whether Zhang Xiaohui had looked for Bai Youran in the capital in their previous life?
In their previous life, had Bai Youran known that she was not the Bai family’s daughter?
Or perhaps in her previous life, the Bai family had not known that Bai Youran was not their daughter?
Gu Qingyao was silent. She suddenly did not know what to say.
Gu Jinhang frowned when he saw that she was quiet for such a long time. “Yao Yao? Younger Cousin? What’s the matter?”
Gu Qingyao glanced up at him. “Nothing, I’m… I’m just shocked!
“But Second Cousin, I think that this matter will affect our Gu family. In the future, we must be wary of this. After all, the Bai family raised Bai Youran as their daughter for so many years. If she makes a good marriage, it will be very advantageous to the Bai family. Bai Youran has liked Mo Beihan for so long, I think the Bai family must certainly know about it, but they have pretended ignorance. They are probably waiting to see who will be the Mo family’s successor.
“I’ve been away and not many in the capital know that I’m Mo Beihan’s fiancée. Now that I’m back, others will certainly find out sooner or later. Mo Beihan’s talent will slowly become apparent, and our family business will grow, especially when my mother brings Qiao’s Jewelry to the capital. Cousin, others may not simply watch as our Gu family grows so powerful so quickly.”
Gu Jinhang immediately frowned.
His younger cousin was right.
