001 Madam, please get in the car first.

Jincheng had recently seen a major incident.

The eldest daughter of the An Family, who had always been the apple of their eye and was known as a famous lady of Jincheng, turned out not to be their biological daughter!

The real eldest daughter of the An Family was a country girl who had grown up in the mountains, unable to understand a word of English!

It was said that the betrothal between the Chu and An Families was arranged before the eldest daughter of the An Family was born, and now with the rightful daughter switched, could the marriage arrangement be...?

Lin Chuxia had already felt that her life was chaotic enough but never expected it could get even more so?!

She had come to Jincheng to unwind after the national college entrance examination, only to find herself with an additional set of biological parents?!

And to make matters worse, she was now unexpectedly embroiled in a bizarre marriage affair?!

This absurd life...

However, before Lin Chuxia could sort out this complex relationship, a torrent of abuse suddenly hit her—

"Lin Chuxia! Don't think that by climbing up the social ladder, you can become a phoenix! You, not even fit to carry my brother's shoes!"

The girl who spoke was pretty, but there was a severe sharpness in her expression as she said those words.

"With your poor and miserable demeanor, you should look at your own reflection before even daring to aspire to be with my brother?!"

"With your status, thinking of entering our Chu Family's door... Even if my brother liked you, would you be worthy?!"

This was Lin Chuxia's first visit to the Chu Family after returning to her biological parents at the An Family. However, before she could set foot inside the Chu Family's door, she was barraged with insults at the gate of the residential area.

And the one hurling abuse at her was her unexpectedly cheap fiancé, the young mistress of the Chu Family, Chu Yiyi.

"Yiyi, don't say that about Chuxia. Speaking of status... it should be me who isn't worthy of Brother Shanwen," spoke An Mingzhu, the darling of the An Family, who had been exchanged with Lin Chuxia since childhood.

"Now... Chuxia has returned. If she wants this marriage, then naturally I..."

Saying so, An Mingzhu couldn't help but give a bitter smile. She wanted to say more but was interrupted by Chu Yiyi.

"What 'naturally'! Let me tell you, An Mingzhu, you can't give it up. I only acknowledge you as my sister-in-law! And you also know that my brother has always liked only you..."

As the number one famous lady of Jincheng, An Mingzhu had an extensive social network. Among them was Chu Yiyi, the younger sister of the young master of the Chu Family, who was one of her best friends and supporters.

"I don't care anyway! I only acknowledge you as my sister-in-law! My sister-in-law can only be you, and as for others, whatever strays and mongrels, all should get lost!"

"You! Yes, you! Just give up that wishful thinking! Want to be my sister-in-law? You're not fit! If you have any shame, just get lost quickly! Don't be shameless when faced with generosity!"

Chu Yiyi said viciously towards Lin Chuxia, with a look of disdain and revulsion. If she had a broom in hand, she probably would have used it to chase Lin Chuxia out right then and there.

"Yiyi, calm down... uh, how about I talk to Chuxia for a moment? I'll try to persuade her."

An Mingzhu said, walking gracefully toward Lin Chuxia, "Chuxia, Yiyi has some misunderstandings about you. Even if you entered with us today, it would probably just upset everyone...

An Mingzhu had an appearance of considering Lin Chuxia's feelings, "How about this? You go back today. I'll talk to Yiyi later and clear up her misunderstanding of you."

Lin Chuxia stayed silent and turned her gaze towards her nominal biological parents.

They had maintained their silence from the start, allowing her to be defamed and harshly criticized without uttering a word of protest.

She wasn't sure if they dared not to speak up, or if they felt she, their own daughter, was not worth confronting the Chu Family over.

"Chuxia, listen to me, don't make it difficult for mom and dad..."

An Mingzhu took a step forward, blocking Lin Chuxia's view, she was about to grab Lin Chuxia's arm and say something more—

"Beep beep—"

A series of urgent and sudden honks startled An Mingzhu, making her involuntarily step back.

When she turned towards the source of the honking, her originally rosy and beautiful face turned pale in an instant.

It wasn't just An Mingzhu, even the previously arrogant Chu Yiyi and the An couple, who had been standing silently to the side from the start, acting as mere background figures, now looked uneasy and uncomfortable.

Lin Chuxia was very curious about who could be in the car, someone who had all these people looking as though they were facing a formidable enemy?

However, when she turned to look, she could only see the dark tinted car windows. The interior light was too dim to make out any faces clearly.

What Lin Chuxia didn't know was that in the Capital, there was only one person who dared to sport such a brash and impudent license plate—the current person in power of the Gu Family, Gu Sanye!

Therefore, even though they couldn't see the person's face in the car, it was enough to scare An Mingzhu and the others quite a bit.

In Jincheng, it was well-known that Gu Sanye hated it when someone blocked his way, and the last person who accidentally did so was rumored to have grass growing over their grave that was already three meters tall!

Among the people who had blocked his path, Gu Sanye detested women the most.

It was said that at any event that Gu Sanye attended, he would call for a clear-out. There would hardly be a living woman to be seen at the venue.

Gu Sanye had an "extreme aversion" to women other than his own mother.

This was also why, although Gu Sanye was a highly respected man in Flower Country, known for both his background and abilities, ranking at the top of the list of men, he had not a single woman by his side, nor had there been any rumors of scandals!

And now, they had actually blocked Gu Sanye's way, how could they not be nervous?

"Sister Mingzhu, I... shall we go inside first..."

As she spoke, Chu Yiyi, hugging the gate's stone wall, was the first to scurry into the residential area. An Mingzhu and the others followed quickly, and their figures disappeared soon after.

Before long, only Lin Chuxia was left standing there, along with... a car.

"Aren't you getting in?"

Before she knew it, the car had pulled up beside Lin Chuxia, the window rolled down to reveal a young and handsome face.

Seeing this familiar face that could shock the heavens and move spirits, Lin Chuxia's eyes widened in surprise. "You you you... how are you here?!"

"This is my home." The person inside the car looked at Lin Chuxia with an expression that read "are you an idiot", his thin lips slightly parted, "Get in the car!"

As he spoke, someone from the driver's seat came out to open the car door for Lin Chuxia.

If An Mingzhu and the others were still there, they would have recognized this person as the bodyguard and assistant that was always by Gu Sanye's side. Even the head of the Chu Family had to treat him with utmost respect—Gu Qi.

However, at this moment, this Gu Qi, who could instill fear in many people of the Capital, was treating Lin Chuxia with extreme respect and gentleness—

"Young Madam, please get inside the car first!"
