Chapter 191: You Might Be the Child of a Rich Family

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

From the information, the leads seemed to be broken.

If he continued to investigate, he would be back to square one.

After all, the Yuan family had been searching for her in A-City for decades, but they had not found her.

It was obvious how well Zhang Qiaoqiao had hidden herself after returning to A-City.

They only had less than two weeks left. They couldn’t possibly search more thoroughly than the Yuan family had searched for decades, right?

Lu Zhi frowned.

Jiang Yining stared thoughtfully at Zhang Qiaoqiao’s daughter’s appearance and was lost in thought for a long time.

“If 1 can’t replace it, I’ll use other conditions to exchange for the manor on the island with the Yuan family.” Lu Zhi saw that she was deep in thought and spoke up.

Jiang Yining pulled herself back from her thoughts, held her chin, and said, “No, I’m thinking about something else.”

“Hmm?”

Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Yining picked up the documents and covered the lower half of Zhang Qiaoqiao’s daughter’s face, leaving only the top. “Look at her. Does she look familiar?”

Lu Zhi’s gaze landed on the photo.

After staring at it for a while, a person suddenly flashed across his mind.

Jiang Yining looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Both of them spoke at the same time. “Ye Xiaoxi.”

Their eyebrows were somewhat similar, especially their eyes. They both had phoenix eyes.

No wonder he felt like he had seen her before.

However, he couldn’t remember where he had seen her.

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence.”

Lu Zhi’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the table.

Jiang Yining packed the documents and said, “1 was at Xiaoxi’s house a while ago and saw a photo of Xiaoxi’s grandmother and her family. That person was also very similar to Zhang Qiaoqiao. At first, 1 thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that it might not be the case.”

Furthermore, according to her understanding, Ye Xiaoxi was also from a single-parent family and had almost no relatives or friends in A-City.

This was also consistent with the information he had investigated.

With so many coincidences, it was no longer a coincidence.

“Then, we’ll look for Ye Xiaoxi tomorrow and do a DNA check with Old Master Yuan to confirm whether it’s true or not.”

“There’s no hurry. 1 want to ask Xiaoxi for her opinion. You know how complicated the Yuan family’s situation is. It might not be a good thing for her to get involved in such a family.” The Gu family was full of internal strife. Jiang Yining had seen too much of it, so she didn’t want her good friend to be involved in the conflict.

“Okay, you can make the arrangements. If she agrees, 1’11 inform the Yuan family.”

“Alright.”

After the discussion, Lu Zhi ordered Qi Feng to collect all the information.

He would not let outsiders know about it for the time being.

The next day.

There was an experimental class in the afternoon. Before class, Jiang Yining told Ye Xiaoxi and Xiao Yeyu about Elder Tao’s apology.

“Whatever requests or compensation you want, feel free to say it. I’ll pass on the message for you.”

“Can I ask for money?” Ye Xiaoxi asked happily.

What she lacked the most was money. The Tao family was rich, so they shouldn’t be short of money, right?

It would be best if he could give her a sum of compensation!

As for what happened that day… To her, it was just a nap. Nothing happened and she didn’t lose anything.

“Can you be more promising?” Xiao Yeyu said with slight disdain.

“No, I like money. The more, the better.” Ye Xiaoxi cupped her face.

Xiao Yeyu pinched her nose and asked Jiang Yining, “I can request anything?”

“As long as he doesn’t need to hand over the Tao family, it should be fine.”

Jiang Yining replied.

Xiao Yeyu said thoughtfully, “Then can you give me a few days to consider? I can’t think of any conditions to ask them.”

This was a precious opportunity.

She would not be like Ye Xiaoxi, who would be so foolish as to waste it easily.

“Okay, when you’ve thought it through, you can tell me.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Yeyu smiled.

Jiang Yining looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said, “After class, 1 need your help. Remember to leave later.”

“Yes.”

Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

Xiao Yeyu asked curiously, “What is it? Why don’t I help you instead?”

“Your body is delicate, so you can’t do it.”

Jiang Yining declined politely.

Xiao Yeyu was a little unhappy. She had been friends with Jiang Yining for so long, but Jiang Yining seemed to be more biased towards Ye Xiaoxi.

She was clearly much more outstanding than Ye Xiaoxi.

Why did Jiang Yining choose this idiot?

Xiao Yeyu lowered her eyes, showing her unwillingness.

The experiment class soon began.

As they were following the steps in the textbook, as long as they did it properly, recorded the results, and handed in the report, they could leave.

Therefore, many students finished it very quickly and ended class early.

After Jiang Yining was done, she went to help Ye Xiaoxi.

After it was done…

The two of them packed up their things and put them in the cupboard.

Then, Jiang Yining brought Ye Xiaoxi to the study room next door.

The classroom was empty.

Jiang Yining closed the door and sat in the first row.

“Yining, didn’t you ask me for help?” Ye Xiaoxi asked curiously. “Why are we here?”

“Yes, I have a survey. 1 hope you can help me answer a few questions.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is. Go ahead.”

“When you answer the questions, remember to think carefully and not be perfunctory.” Jiang Yining emphasized.

“Yes, I promise!”

Ye Xiaoxi raised her hand obediently.

Jiang Yining asked, “Do you like money?”

“Of course I like it. Who in this world doesn’t like money?” Ye Xiaoxi felt that the question was silly.

“Then do you like power?”

“Oh… 1 only want to have money.”

Power was for men to fight for. It had nothing to do with her.

She didn’t have big ambitions. She just wanted to earn money and live a peaceful life.

“Then let’s assume… You’re the daughter of a rich family, and you have endless wealth. Power and money, the envy of the world, were within your grasp. But at the same time, you also have to bear a certain risk. You need to fight with others, be wary of traps being set for you, or even be killed.”

“Do you want to live the life you have now, or do you want to be the daughter of a rich man?”

Jiang Yining asked calmly.

Ye Xiaoxi was about to answer.

She emphasized again, “Think about it seriously. Just treat it as if you’re facing a real-life choice.”

Ye Xiaoxi shut her mouth again and seriously considered the hypothesis she had proposed.

After a long while-

“I think I’d rather be the daughter of a rich family,” Ye Xiaoxi answered.

“Really?”

“Yes. 1 have nothing now. I’m too small. Anyone can ruin my life. Yining, I’ll tell you the truth. If it weren’t for you, I might have committed suicide long ago.

So, I want to change my life. Even if I have to take the risk, I’m willing.”

She wanted to become stronger and not hide behind Yining and drag her down.

Even if she was not the daughter of a rich family, she would still work hard.

Even if she couldn’t catch up to Yining’s height, at least the difference wouldn’t be too big.

Ye Xiaoxi noticed the change in Jiang Yining’s expression and smiled. “Why are you so serious? It’s just a question. No matter what, it’s impossible for me to suddenly become the daughter of a rich family. I’d better stop daydreaming and work hard to realize my dreams.”

“Xiaoxi, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“You might really be the child of a rich family. Do you know the Yuan family? The grandfather has been looking for his first love, Zhang Qiaoqiao. And your grandmother is the person he is looking for,” Jiang Yining said clearly.

“Are you joking? My grandma’s name isn’t Zhang Qiaoqiao.”

Ye Xiaoxi was laughing so hard that she could not stop herself.

Jiang Yining stood up and held her shoulders. “I’m serious. I’m not joking..”
