The sanity, which she had lost due to rage and humiliation, was now returning. She turned her head towards Gu Junzhu: “If my uncle and aunt are my real parents, does that mean my uncle’s two sons are my actual brothers?”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes.”

“I have met them,” Ye Xingbei drifted into her memories, her bitter and desolate face said, “They didn’t like me either. They were so cold towards me, not willing to utter a single word.”

“They didn’t know you were their sister at that time,” said Gu Junzhu, “After your parents died, their two brothers were taken away by your grandparents, even changing their last names to match your grandfather’s surname. Not only did they dislike you, but they were also distant from the rest of the Jiang Family.”

“Yes,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “When I was with the Jiang Family, I heard people say that my grandparents…only cared for my aunt…”

“Your mother!” Gu Junzhu corrected, “Xu Yanlai has no right to be your mother! Your mother’s name was Xie Qingyue, and she was a good woman. If she were alive today, she would have loved you dearly!”

“Yes, my mother!” Ye Xingbei’s eyes moistened, “After my parents died in the car crash, my grandparents moved my brothers to Beijing, changing their last names to Xie, because of this, there was a considerable conflict between the Xie and Jiang Family, almost severing all connections. My brothers only ever visited the Jiang Family on holidays out of courtesy, gifting presents to my grandfather.”

“I heard that my grandfather used to adore my brothers, and it was only after they changed their last names to Xie, that he began to resent them. He felt they had disgraced the Jiang Family, making it impossible for him to face our ancestors after his death.”

An idea appeared to spring to Gu Junzhu’s mind. After pondering it for a moment, he asked, “Did you have a close relationship with your grandfather?”

“Not bad,” Ye Xingbei nodded, “My grandfather was the only kind person in the Jiang Family who really cared for me. When I was kicked out of the house, my grandfather was unconscious due to a severe illness, otherwise, Jiang Zhengxing and his wife Xu Yanlai wouldn’t dare to treat me like that.”

Staring at Ye Xingbei, Gu Junzhu spoke with a profound look in his eyes, “You’d better prepare yourself. Your grandfather might not be as good as he appears.” Ye Xingbei was startled, “What do you mean?”

“I can’t be sure of everything yet, so I can’t tell you everything,” Gu Junzhu glanced out of the car window at the grand entrance of the Jiang mansion, “This Jiang Family has many secrets. As long as you’re ready to learn them, sooner or later, one by one, you’ll find all the answers.”

Ye Xingbei felt a chill down her spine from his suggestive tone, “What are you implying?”

Gu Junzhu turned his gaze back towards her, “What I mean is, beneath the splendid exterior of the Jiang Family, there are many hidden secrets. Your grandfather is not as good as you imagine, perhaps he is the biggest hidden figure.”

“What are you talking about?” Senior Master Jiang was the only one in the Jiang Family who treated her well, and Ye Xingbei didn’t want to hear Gu Junzhu making such unfounded speculations, judging Senior Master Jiang in a bad light.

Chuckling, Gu Junzhu didn’t elaborate further, but changed the topic, “Regardless of what others think, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai are certainly not good people. Plus, there’s Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu, both of whom conspired against you. Have you figured out how to get your revenge?”

“Of course!” Ye Xingbei gazed at the cold exterior of the Jiang mansion, “Even God is helping me. He has sent Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu to Star Palace to work as contracted artists. They have signed a ten-year contract with us. These next ten years, they must listen to me. If I want them to jump, they have to jump. Can there be anything more satisfying than this?”

“Yes,” Gu Junzhu answered with an affirmative smile. “When Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai sent you to the Gu Family, they thought I was dying. You were supposed to become a widow for Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu. Now, just imagine when you and I arm in arm, affectionately appear in front of them, demonstrating my vibrant health and instant affection for you. You’re the daughter-in-law of Gu Family, one of the most elite families in Beijing, but you won’t have to become a widow.. Guess their reaction?”
