Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Is her father going to inherit the throne of S country? _1
Having assumed the identity of the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Bai Peiluan would, of course, inquire about everything that the real daughter had experienced to avoid being exposed. Therefore, Bai Peiluan knew her long-lost sister’s life story better than her sister herself.
Her sister’s mother passed away early. When her father remarried, the stepmother showed no love to her sister, leading her sister to develop severe autism. Fortunately, her grandparents treasured her. Alarmed by their granddaughter’s deteriorating condition, they decided to take her in and care for her. From then on, her sister was raised by her grandparents. She didn’t want to go to school, so her grandparents hired the best tutors to teach her at home.
Her sister’s reputation as a master in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting was spread by her tutors, well-known masters from all over the country, who often showcased her artwork.
When her sister turned eighteen, the grandparents passed away one after another. It was said that she was the one who took their loss the hardest. She stayed home to mourn for three full years without slacking off.
During their will reading, her grandparents bequeathed much of their estate to her sister, causing feelings of dissatisfaction from their father and stepmother.
Learning that the eldest legitimate daughter of the Bai family was accomplished in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and had earned fame, Ye’s Family sent a marriage proposal, seeking a marital alliance. For some reason, her sister didn’t like Bai Xiu and refused to marry him, hence fled the marriage.
Her father then brought Bai Peiluan back, an illegitimate daughter he had kept secret. Since few people knew her sister’s appearance, her father and stepmother persuaded her to impersonate her sister and marry Bai Xiu, bribing anyone who knew of her true identity to remain silent.
In truth, she knew her father and stepmother were only interested in her sister’s inheritance from their grandparents and wanted to tie themselves to the well-off Ye family. She understood it all eventually, but she had no choice but to follow through with the deception because of her own predicaments.
During the engagement banquet of her two children, she should have invited the Bai family. However, recalling the bad relationships between her sister and the Bai family, Bai Peiluan thought it was inhumane to invite them to the party. She took everything that belonged to her sister, and if she invited the Bai family to make her sister feel bad, would she still be considered a human being?
Bai Lanwu, on the other hand, didn’t think as much as Bai Peiluan did. Living on the island for years, she had no trouble fitting in.
If she ever got bored, Chuan Qi would take her around to experience various cultures, especially after their daughter went abroad for university. Their time became more flexible. However, her husband’s illness always prevented them from staying out for too long.
Once Chuan Qi recovered from his illness this time, they could genuinely go anywhere they wanted to have a vacation and enjoy life.
At that moment, Lawson Perry received a WeChat message from Nan Yin.
In a brief period, he had figured out why the foreign affairs officer from S-country was so respectful to Song Chuanqi.
As Lawson Perry opened the WeChat message, he read the truth that Nan Yin had found, resulting in a furrowed brow.
Harry Perry was sitting next to Lawson Perry, and his eyes accidentally glanced over. He asked in a low voice: “The father of the Koi Girl, that fisherman from the remote island, he is the reclusive Crown Prince of S-country, who never shows his face to the outside world?”
Sitting next to Harry Perry, Xia Yanyan’s mind went buzzing.
She knew that S-country was a constitutional monarchy that still retains a royal family with actual political power. The man at the next table, the fisherman from a remote island, turned out to be the Crown Prince of S-country. So, wasn’t Ye Xingguang, the innocent White Lotus, the daughter of the Crown Prince of S-country? Wasn’t it her father who was going to inherit the throne of S-country?
