The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 601 - The Secret About the Past (219)

Bai Zhi looked at him and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Military Commander Xu explained the matter about Xu Youran to her, after which he said, “After all, she’s been living with us since she was a teenager and we’ve already developed feelings for her. Your mother couldn’t bear to cut off all ties with her, but there’s no way things will ever be the same again. We were greatly disappointed in her from the very moment we found out that she had a.s.sumed your ident.i.ty.”

Bai Zhi looked at them and said firmly, “You must sever all ties with her. Now that I’m back, I don’t want her around in the family.”

“We’ll do as you say. Although she has accompanied your father and me throughout all these years, she has created a ton of trouble for us and squandered away lots of money. We didn’t let her down at all,” said Madam Xu.

“Shall we change your name?” Military Commander Xu suggested.

“What should we change it to?” Bai Zhi asked.

“I supposed you must’ve already gotten used to your name. How about we add Xu in front of your current name?”

Bai Zhi agreed. “Xu Bai Zhi… Sure, but it’d be difficult to make the amendments on the household register…”

“We don’t have to make amendments. Your household register has been registered with ours ever since you were born. We just have to change the name on your register,” said Military Commander Xu.

“Sure. How many children do you have?”

“You have two elder brothers. Your eldest brother is the Head Officer of the Police Bureau while your second brother runs a company,” Madam Xu answered.

Xu Baizhi was stunned to hear how outstanding her brothers were, just like her father. How great would it have been if I wasn’t abducted and had grown up in such a brilliant family ever since I was born?

A look of dejection formed in her eyes. There was no turning back now.

All she could do now was to advance forward.

“By the way, when’s my birthday?”

“15th of July. I initially thought that An Xiaoning was you because she was born on the exact same day, month, and year as you. But we realized that she wasn’t after running the DNA test,” Madam Xu said agitatedly.

“What a coincidence. From what Father said about Xu Youran, doesn’t that mean Xu Youran is Jin Qingyan’s half-sister and An Xiaoning’s sister-in-law?” Xu Baizhi asked.

“That’s right, but the Jin family will never acknowledge her. Besides, An Xiaoning and Jin Qingyan have already gotten a divorce.”

Xu Baizhi nodded and said, “Oh, I see.”

“By the way, since you’re already back, call your husband home too. Do you guys have children yet?”

Xu Baizhi shook her head and answered, “No. There’s no need to call him home. He’s overseas right now.”

“Forget it then, but we ought to meet him one day.”

Xu Baizhi expressed a.s.sent. Although she had now been reunited with her biological parents, she was filled with an inexplicable feeling.

She was surprised, conflicted, worried, and helpless all at the same time.

The strange mix of emotions sent her mind into a state of frenzy and confusion.

They arrived home to see that Xu Yang, Xu Cai, as well as the other members of the Xu family, were all waiting to welcome them at the entrance.

“This is your eldest brother, this is your second brother,” Madam Xu introduced with red and swollen eyes.

Xu Yang and Xu Cai stepped forward to hug Xu Baizhi one after another. Just as they were about to enter, a car pulled over abruptly and everyone turned their heads to see Xu Youran alighting from the car.

She quickly strode toward them and called out, “Father, Mother!”

Madam Xu acknowledged her coldly while Military Commander Xu remained silent.

Xu Baizhi stared at her with a sullen expression and asked bluntly, “Are you that Xu Youran who a.s.sumed my ident.i.ty and stayed in the Xu family for so many years?”

The smile on Xu Youran’s face faded, taken aback by the abrupt question for she did not expect to be questioned at the doorstep of her house. “I am Xu Youran,” she said.

“Since I’m already back, there’s no need for you to step foot into this house again from now on.”

Xu Baizhi’s tone was cold and austere, sounding extremely firm.

Xu Youran stared at Military Commander and Madam Xu, hoping for them to say something. However, they did not utter a single word at all.

Realizing that the situation seemed to be rather awkward with everyone standing around, Madam Xu had no choice but to say to Xu Youran, “I’ll get your father to move your household register back under your own name. You shall have an independent register. How does that sound?”

“Mother… are you guys thinking of abandoning me now that you’ve found your biological daughter? I know I was at fault for lying and creating so much trouble for you guys, but I’ve really considered you guys to be my parents,” said Xu Youran.

“But you’re still not our biological child at the end of the day. Youran, regardless of what you’ve done over the years, it has all come to a balance. You may have filled the voids in our hearts that came from losing our daughter, but at the same time, you’ve also hindered us from finding her sooner. Touch your heart and ask yourself, how well have we been treating you over the years? You’d better know your limits,” said Madam Xu, after which she entered the house with Xu Baizhi, hand in hand.

Everyone else followed suit, leaving Xu Youran to stand there alone.

From behind, turning as pale as a sheet, she watched as their figures faded into nothingness gradually.

In that moment, she knew that she would no longer have anything to do with the Xu family.

Xu Youran sat down quietly the moment she reached home.

She felt as if her heart was being stabbed a million times at the thought of Military Commander and Madam Xu’s aloofness, as well as Xu Baizhi’s hostile att.i.tude toward her.

At the same time, she was also deeply filled with regret.

She’d thought to herself that, perhaps, she could have still remained as the Xu family’s daughter if she had not exposed her true ident.i.ty to Mr. Jin back then, which had led to the Xu family finding out about her being an impostor.

However, there was no antidote for regret in this world.

If she had been kicked out of the Xu family, so be it. No one would be able to belittle her once she becomes the matriarch of the Gu family!

—

As much as Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was innocent and naive, she could not help but begin to find something unusual about the fact that she had been strangely falling asleep right after taking a shower every night, ever since the day of her wedding.

They had never once gotten intimate with each other ever since they were married.

Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was ill at ease.

Why is Tuoba Gucheng reluctant to touch me?

Was it only because she was often asleep?

After much thought, she decided that she would do her best to stay awake at all costs tonight. Thus, she did not drink any milk after taking a shower.

Tuoba Gucheng noticed that the gla.s.s of milk was left untouched on the table when he came out of the shower. He maintained his composure and proceeded to lie down beside her as per normal.

After a long while of silence, Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ could no longer endure and leaned closer to hug him. “Hubby, we haven’t consummated our marriage ever since the day of our wedding. It’s all my fault for falling asleep way too early every night. I’ve decided not to sleep tonight and instead experience what it’s like to get intimate with my husband. Also, I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”

Tuoba Gucheng was not at all enticed or aroused by her words.

However, he knew that this day would arrive sooner or later.

The only reason he would concede was because she was the wife he had wedded through an arranged marriage.

She was the daughter of the Lin family, and he could not neglect her even though he neither fancied nor detested her.

Thus, he lowered his head to give her a kiss on her forehead and turned to pin her beneath himself.

Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+’s long locks cascaded between the pillows, exposing her exquisite and delicate shoulders. She gazed at him coyly with a look of pure innocence in her eyes.

“Do you fancy me?”

“Yes,” Lin s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ answered with a nod.

“What do you like about me?”
