Chapter 181 It turns out it was a case of a cat switching the prince.
“At that time, your father’s company was facing bankruptcy, and we were very anxious. At this time, people from the Ming family came and said they wanted to take back the orphan of Young Master Ming who had been living away from home. We were afraid that we would not be able to support you, so we handed you over to the Ming family to take you away.”
Mrs. Chu spoke excitedly.
"No, that's impossible. If that's the case, the Ming family should have a real eldest daughter. So where is the eldest daughter of the Ming family?" Ming Yin didn't want to admit it, but reason told her that she seemed to have really impersonated someone else.
"The true eldest daughter of the Ming family is..."
Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu exchanged glances.
"Who is she?" Mingyin had a bad feeling.
"She is my current daughter, Chu Xinglan," Mrs. Chu had no choice but to tell her the truth.
Mingyin stumbled and almost fell again.
How could this be? Chu Xinglan is the eldest daughter of the Ming family, while she is the daughter of the Chu family.
"Chu Xinglan's biological mother is one of my best friends, named Xiang Wan. She's a nobody actress. We had no idea she was secretly dating the young master of the Ming family and was pregnant. When we found out, the patriarch of the Ming family forcibly separated them," Mrs. Chu continued.
This matter was not a secret in the Ming family. Old Master Ming had always lived in guilt and remorse because of it. The deeper his guilt was, the more accommodating and tolerant he was towards his family. So, over the years, she had taken advantage of Old Master Ming's guilt to gain the greatest benefit.
As it turns out... she wasn't actually the eldest daughter of the Ming family. If her grandfather found out the truth, he would not only take away all his affection for her, but he would also blame her for stealing the favor that should have been his own granddaughter's.
Mingyin felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Chu couldn't see her unease and only wanted her to acknowledge them.
"The day Xiang Wan gave birth was the day that Young Master Ming was getting married to another woman. She was all alone and had no relatives by her side, so she had to bring me to her side to accompany her during childbirth. At that time, I had just given birth to you, less than two months ago."
Mingyin covered her ears with her hands, not wanting to listen anymore, but Mrs. Chu kept babbling on and on.
"Just after Chu Xinglan was born, news came that the young master of the Ming family had died in a car accident while running away from his wedding. Xiang Wan was heartbroken. She trusted me a lot, so she entrusted her daughter to me to raise. Then, on the day of the young master's funeral, she committed suicide by poisoning herself and died next to the young master's coffin."
"Stop talking. What's the point of saying this? Those are all things of the past. Not only the Ming family, but everyone in the business world knows about them. What do you mean by bringing this up? Do you think saying all this will make me admit that I'm your daughter? Don't even think about it. I am the eldest daughter of the Ming family, and I will be for life. Who wants to be your daughter?"
Mingyin shouted, stopping Mrs. Chu from continuing.
“Mingyin, but we…” Mrs. Chu wanted to say more, but Mingyin glared at her fiercely and stopped her.
"If you really want what's best for me, you shouldn't acknowledge me, but rather shut your mouths, keep the truth to yourselves, and let me remain the eldest daughter of the Ming family forever."
Mingyin said fiercely.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu were stunned for a moment. Mingyin's words seemed to have awakened them. Indeed, they had not seen their biological daughter for more than 20 years. When she suddenly appeared, they were overjoyed. If Mingyin's true identity were exposed, then all their efforts would have been in vain.
"Yes, yes, it was our oversight. We are so happy to see Mingyin so beautiful and elegant now," Mr. Chu said with a smile.
Mrs. Chu also realized what was happening.
"Mingyin, can Mommy hug you?" Mrs. Chu reached out to hug Mingyin.
Mingyin just wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. She reluctantly walked over and leaned on Mrs. Chu's hand.
Even so, Mrs. Chu was extremely excited.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu, who usually treat Chu Xinglan with indifference, are completely different when it comes to their biological daughter; they would give her their whole heart and soul.
"Don't show up again and disturb my peaceful life."
Mingyin turned and left after saying that.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu watched Mingyin's departing figure with reluctance.
Although they were very reluctant, they had no choice but to endure it for Mingyin's future.
Mingyin was secretly pleased to see that they did not press the matter any further. As long as they kept quiet, no one would know about the switcheroo.
She hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly stopped. Her biological parents had even given up their urgent desire to reunite with her. If she asked them to do something else, would they do it too?
Suddenly, a wicked thought popped into Mingyin's head, and she turned back.
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Chu were about to leave, Mingyin suddenly called them back.
“Come back.”
Mr. and Mrs. Chu immediately turned around happily to look at Mingyin.
They were like puppets manipulated by Mingyin, their hearts swayed by her joys and sorrows. Mingyin was quite pleased with this, as the more they cared about her, the more advantageous it was for her.
"Mingyin, what else do you want to say to Mom and Dad?" Mrs. Chu asked with a smile.
Mingyin frowned. Although there was no one here, if she talked too much, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't overhear.
"Listen to me, no matter what the occasion, never reveal that we are father and daughter or mother and son."
Mingyin said sternly.
Mrs. Chu quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Let's not talk about it!"
"Don't worry, we won't say a word about it from now on," Mr. Chu quickly added.
Mingyin nodded in satisfaction.
"Do you really love me?" Mingyin asked.
“You are our biological daughter, of course we love you,” Mrs. Chu replied hastily.
Mingyin frowned.
Mrs. Chu knew she was unhappy, so she quickly said, "This is the last time."
"Since you love me, you must be willing to do anything for me?"
Mingyin glanced at Mr. Chu and then at Mrs. Chu.
“That’s natural,” Mr. Chu replied immediately.
"Then if I asked you to kill someone, would you be willing?" Mingyin suddenly asked viciously.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu were startled.
They don't usually know people well, but they still lack the courage to kill.
"This...this might not be a good idea?" Mrs. Chu said in a low voice.
"You haven't asked me yet who I want you to kill?" No matter how difficult it was for them, Mingyin had to use someone else to get rid of Chu Xinglan, this obstacle, for her.
They didn't dare kill anyone, but instead of saying so, they followed up with Mingyin's question: "Who do you want to kill? Who's so blind as to offend you?"
"Naturally, it's that bitch Chu Xinglan." Mingyin's heart was filled with hatred when she spoke of Chu Xinglan.
In her past life, she was the one who caused Gu Ye to push her down the stairs and die. Now she's trying to steal Gu Ye from her, so that woman deserves to die.
Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at each other inexplicably again.
She wants them to kill Lanlan?
"You can't bear to part with it? You've raised it for so many years and developed feelings for it?" Mingyin asked with a hint of jealousy.
She grew up without parents, only receiving love from the elderly and frail Grandpa Ming. What right does Chu Xinglan have to steal her parents' love?
