An Yanâs face was somewhat pale.
But Chong Minggang this time did not pity her, instead he cruelly tore away that layer of veil completely.
"I can give Wenwen a comfortable life, even recognize her as a foster daughter. But you must know, she will never, ever, become the Young Miss of the Chong Family."
An Yan raised her head, tears falling from her eyes, this time not feigned.
"Why? Wenwen is your daughter too, isnât she?" She asked hoarsely.
Chong Minggang averted his gaze: "Since more than twenty years ago, when you followed me without name or status, you should have known this."
"Yuji can choose not to marry the Young Master of the Zhong Family, she is the Young Miss of the Chong Family, without Zhong Sheng, she can still choose other wealthy sons. But An Yan..."
Chong Minggang candidly said to An Yan: "Wenwen is not possible. Even if Yuji doesnât want to be with Zhong Sheng, the Zhong Family would never let their son marry an illegitimate daughter."
Calling her an illegitimate daughter is already pleasant.
An Wenâs situation is far inferior to that of an illegitimate daughter.
In the eyes of others, sheâs nothing more than a burden An Yan brought along.
Neither noticed, that in the foyer, the newly returned An Wen was desperately covering her lips, teary-eyed listening to their conversation.
Before, she thought that once she entered the Chong family, her mother would become Madam Chong, and she would become Miss Chong.
So she always wanted to match up to Chong Yuji, she even thought Chong Yuji was brainless, merely born into a nobler lineage than herself.
She never believed herself inferior to Chong Yuji.
Until now, her biological father directly told her mother she would never become the true Young Miss of the Chong Family in this lifetime.
She would never compare to Chong Yuji.
The man Chong Yuji disdained and refused, she was unworthy!
An Wen listened no more, she turned around, and ran out.
That night, neither of Chong Minggangâs daughters returned home.
However, their situations were completely different.
Gu Shengyin, after greeting two friends from her design studio, decisively grabbed her bag and went to her uncleâs house.
Anyway, the core of the studio were those two design friends of Chong Yuji, she was merely the investor funding it.
While An Wen spent a lonely night in the bar alone.
Gu Shengyinâs arrival was warmly welcomed by her uncleâs family.
Chong Yujiâs grandfather, Liu Qingshan, had a total of three sons and one daughter, Liu Qinghe was his youngest and only daughter.
The Liu Family spoiled Liu Qinghe excessively, fostering her strong-willed disposition.
So back then, Liu Qingshan disagreed with her being with Chong Minggang, but Liu Qinghe persisted nevertheless.
The Liu Family had no choice but to offer as much help as possible in their son-in-lawâs career, so their daughter could live better.
And after the daughterâs death, this only granddaughter naturally became Liu Qingshanâs cherished treasure.
"Grandfatherâs Xiao Yu, how come you have the time to come today?" The over seventy-year-old Liu Qingshan asked smilingly, leaning on his cane.
If it were the Chong Yuji of the past, just to stop grandpa and uncleâs family from worrying, sheâd swallow this matter silently.
Little did she know by doing so, it made the Liu family believe she was living exceptionally well, despite their dissatisfaction toward Chong Minggang, they refrained from saying anything for the granddaughterâs sake.
Gu Shengyin was not one to suffer silently like this.
