Chapter 11
Cousin
When Jiang Lun showed her his business card, and she saw that he was the President of Kunlun Construction, she was speechless.
Jiang Xue had fantasized about such a thing happening to her before, not actually being the biological daughter of the poor family she was raised by, but the daughter of a rich family who had brought home the wrong baby, and then returned to their side and living a wealthy life.
Because she really did not look like the parents who raised her, if she told other people that she was adopted, everyone would believe her.
G.o.d knows how much she hated her poor and dest.i.tute family.
Jiang Lun’s arrival was like an angel coming down from Heaven. She was ecstatic.
So, even if Jiang Lun was a liar, she still had to take the gamble and obediently follow him.
When Jiang Lun brought her to the hospital to do a paternity test with his wife, Jiang Xue was so excited that she almost cried.
She was confident that she was the child of the Jiang family.
At night, Jiang Xue looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. Her eyes were very similar to Xia Chun’s, and her nose and mouth were very similar to Jiang Lun’s.
Therefore, Jiang Xue was so excited that she couldn’t sleep. Early in the morning, she told her parents that she was going to her cla.s.smate’s house to study for her finals.
In reality, she had already applied for leave and planned to wait at the Jiang family’s house until the results came out. Then, she wouldn’t have to go back to the Shen family’s slum-like dilapidated house.
Jiang Xue, who had come back to her senses, obediently and timidly replied, “I’m okay. I’ve already eaten.”
Xia Chun looked at this girl who looked so much like her and her heart softened. “You’ve eaten? Then, eat some fruits. Mama Lin, cut some fruits.”
Xia Chun’s face was full of happiness. She pulled Jiang Xue’s little hand and walked towards the sofa. Previously, she had not yet taken a good look at Jiang Xue’s appearance. Now that they were at home, she would have to take a good look.
When they were almost at the sofa, Xia Chun noticed Shen Xi who had been sitting on the sofa the whole time. The smile on her face froze, and her heart skipped a beat. She nervously pursed her lips before she regained her senses.
She held onto Jiang Xue’s hand and introduced, “Xi, come, let me introduce you. This is you… your distant cousin. She’s staying here for a few days.” Xia Chun was still stunned when she introduced Jiang Xue. Facing Shen Xi, she actually felt a little guilty, as if she had betrayed her daughter.
Shen Xi had a smile on her face. When she heard Xia Chun’s introduction, she slowly stood up, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she gently greeted, “h.e.l.lo, cousin.”
Jiang Xue also looked at Shen Xi curiously, looking at this robber who had stolen her life for the past eighteen years.
Jiang Xue was full of anger, but when she saw Shen Xi who seemed extremely charismatic, she even had thoughts of timidity and inferiority.
Shen Xi wore a navy blue silk knee-length dress that outlined her graceful and outstanding waist. Her skin was snow-white and tender. Jiang Xue could not help but feel jealous.
Jiang Xue felt extremely inferior as she stood beside Shen Xi.
The overwhelming inferiority complex made Jiang Xue breathless. She even forgot to respond to Shen Xi’s greeting.
Her hands were nervously clutching the cheap clothes in her bag, afraid that they would accidentally fall out and cause her to get laughed at.
Shen Xi’s eyebrows were as dark as the stars, and her eyes were as bright as the stars. As she looked around, she looked extremely arrogant. The outline of her eyes and nose were very similar to Jiang Xue’s adoptive father. They were deep, three-dimensional, and charming. However, her naturally clear eyes and red lips were very similar to Jiang Xue’s adoptive mother.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue’s heart was filled with jealousy and hatred. At the same time, she was even more certain that they were switched at birth. Ever since she was young, there had been people saying that she might not be the Shen family’s biological daughter because she looked too different from them.
Every time she heard people saying that it was a pity that she did not inherit her parents’ good looks, she would get extremely angry.
Thinking about it now, so what if she looked how she was?
Without money, they were nothing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xue also secretly encouraged herself. She raised her head and said confidently, “h.e.l.lo, cousin. I’m Shen Xue. You can also call me Xue.”
