Chapter 92: Who’s Whose Kid
"Tsk, tsk. Their skin is as thick as a mountain," Gu Zhao remarked, looking at them as if she were constipated.
’She really couldn’t understand how people could be shameless to this degree.’
The corners of Yu Xiaowei’s mouth lifted as she gazed at Gu Zhao like a true fangirl.
Gu Xulin suddenly got the feeling his little sister was about to drop a bombshell. And judging by that constipated look on her face, she had definitely dug up some serious dirt.
And by the looks of it, this gossip was so foul it was making her sick.
Gu Xulin and the others quietly gathered around her.
Yu Ziqi froze, seemingly not expecting a five-year-old child to contradict her.
"There must be some misunderstanding..." she said, forcing a bitter smile. Her tone remained gentle, as if she were dealing with an unreasonable, misbehaving child.
"If there’s been a misunderstanding, then I’ll apologize to you, okay? Please don’t be angry."
She looked at Gu Zhao with a gentle expression.
"There’s no misunderstanding. You know what they say: if your skin isn’t thick, your bed won’t be warm. And with skin as thick as a mountain, I’m surprised your whole house isn’t a green pasture," Gu Zhao said, beaming at her.
Yu Ziqi’s expression stiffened for a split second. Yu’s mother, however, didn’t understand what she was trying to say and just found it bizarre.
"What an attention-seeker," Yu’s mother said, her face full of disdain.
Yu’s father looked at Gu Zhao with a mixture of disgust and a hint of dread.
’She can’t possibly know something... can she?’
Yu’s father felt a growing sense of unease.
Yu Zimo didn’t get it, but he was furious. "Who the hell do you think you are, trying to make my sister apologize to you!"
Gu Zhao shot back, "You call her your sister, but is she?"
’I know this one!’ the Persian cat’s thoughts suddenly burst through. ’She’s not! He was switched at birth too! He’s the nanny’s son! I heard the nanny talking about it!’
Gu Zhao’s jaw dropped.
’Well, I’ll be. Not a single one in this whole nest has a clean origin story.’
Yu Zimo absolutely lost it. "I only have one sister! That Yu Xiaowei is not my sister!"
Yu Xiaowei showed no reaction. It wasn’t like she wanted to be his sister anyway.
Gu Zhao said, "But she really isn’t your sister."
Everyone: ???!!!
Both Yu’s father and Yu’s mother were stunned!
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Yu’s father was fuming. How could Yu Xiaowei not be their daughter!
’Even if he’d had the child switched, this one was still his own flesh and blood!’
Yu’s mother felt a pang of guilt, but she still thought, ’I gave birth to both of them. Even if they have different fathers, how are they not brother and sister!’
Gu Zhao shot Yu’s father and mother a strange look. "Anyone want to hear the tea?"
"Yes! I do!" Zhong Mingrui instantly shot up, hand raised high, as if afraid Gu Zhao wouldn’t see him.
Song Yi also hurried to the front, waiting with wide, expectant eyes.
Song Jin’an and Zhou Lan moved forward curiously. Gossip from a wealthy family was always a feast.
Ye Zuiyi wasn’t particularly curious, as she had already heard all this in her past life. By that point, however, Yu Zimo was already the heir to the Yu Family.
Ye Zexi, on the other hand, was curious! He immediately leaned in closer too.
The Yu Family members had a bad feeling. Just as they were about to stop her, a leopard stepped in front of Gu Zhao, baring its fangs.
Two Hast Eagles swooped down from mid-air and landed between the groups.
Gu Zhao announced, "And now, please tune in for our feature presentation: The Great Tycoon Family Drama! Whose Kid Is It, Anyway?"
"CLAP, CLAP, CLAP." Song Zhe applauded.
"Her!" Gu Zhao pointed first at Yu Ziqi.
Yu Ziqi felt a strange sense of foreboding.
"She is the child of her father and his ’white moonlight,’ his unforgettable old flame! And let’s highlight the key point here: his ’white moonlight’ was already married. I’m sure you all know what that means."
"She’s been frail since birth! Her father’s heart ached for her, and he wanted to care for her himself. So! He had his wife’s daughter switched out for her!"
"His wife’s daughter was sent away, just like that! Eventually, the old flame’s cuckolded husband found out the child wasn’t his and, after being passed from place to place, she was finally sent to an orphanage."
"And as for her!" Gu Zhao turned to Yu’s mother.
Yu’s mother turned pale and instinctively took a step back.
"She watched with her own eyes as Yu Xiaowei was taken away and did absolutely nothing!"
Gu Zhao didn’t elaborate on Yu Xiaowei’s true parentage, choosing to gloss over that part.
Gu Zhao glanced at Yu Ziqi again, then turned to Yu’s father with a mischievous grin. "Actuallyyy~ this one~ isn’t your daughter either, you know~"
Yu’s father roared, "Nonsense! She is my daughter!"
Yu Ziqi’s face went from pale to paler. Her eyes darted for a moment, and her body went limp as if she were about to faint.
But the Persian cat in her arms suddenly sprang up and let out a series of excited MEOWS at Gu Zhao.
Yu Ziqi was so startled that she couldn’t go through with her faint.
Listening to the meows, Gu Zhao’s expression became downright devilish.
"She’s the child of your ’white moonlight’—the other woman. And you’re the ’other other man.’ Hahahaha."
A collective "HISSS..." went through the crowd. This was intense!
The crowd looked at Yu’s father with extraordinary pity. ’So he wasn’t even the main affair, and he ended up raising someone else’s kid.’
"And don’t you dare disbelieve it. Her real father got himself hired as your butler, hahaha. That father-daughter pair gets to have a happy little family reunion every single day."
The Persian cat confirmed it was an eyewitness.
Gu Xulin couldn’t hold back the corners of his mouth. He finally gave up and just let his teeth out for some air, breaking into a huge, toothy grin.
He paid no mind to the psychological damage being inflicted on the group opposite them.
"Impossible! Impossible! You’re making all this up! How could you possibly know about my family’s affairs!" Yu Zimo couldn’t accept it. How could his most beloved sister be a... a... bastard...
Impossible!
"Gu Zhao! You just have it out for us! You’re spreading these rumors about my sister on purpose!"
As if latching onto an excuse, Yu’s father added, "Right! I’ve raised my daughter for this long, how could she not be mine!"
"Spreading rumors at such a young age! Just what you’d expect from a little bastard!"
Gu Xulin’s face darkened, and he went right over and kicked the old bastard in the ass.
"Say one more bad word about my sister, and I’ll have a wild boar gore you in the ass!"
Yu’s father’s face flushed red with rage and humiliation.
’So crude! The entire Gu Family is crude!’
[This tea is way too hot... I knew rich families were full of drama... but this is just insane.]
[Does Gu Zhao even have proof? She’s just spreading rumors! It’s easy to start a rumor, but you can spend a lifetime trying to clear your name and never succeed. Used to be neutral, but now I’m turning against her!]
[Our Monkey King can talk to animals, this isn’t news. As long as animals are around, there’s no tea she can’t spill.]
[I must be the ’white moonlight’s’ cuckolded husband. Everything she said about me is correct, but this big sucker is divorced now. For anyone who wants proof, check out my social media page. I’ve even posted the paternity test.]
The audience members grumbled as they went to check, then returned, buzzing with excitement.
He really was the ultimate cuckold.
Gu Zhao then turned to Yu Zimo. "And you think you’re not getting any of this tea?"
Everyone: !!! There’s more?!
Yu Zimo’s face instantly went pale. "I am my mom and dad’s son!"
"Nope~ Your real mom is your family’s nanny~"
"You were switched at birth~"
Yu’s father and mother: ??!!!!
The others: ?!!!!!
Yu Zimo screamed like a madman, "Gu Zhao! I’m going to have you killed!"
Gu Zhao replied, "You should probably find a family first, you little bastard~"
Unable to handle the shock, Yu’s father and mother both fainted on the spot.
Yu Ziqi pretended to faint as well.
The two drivers, who had been enjoying the drama, quickly hauled their bosses into the car. Yu Zimo was also forced inside, and the car sped off in a flash.
The car from the show’s production team arrived just then to pick up Yu Xiaowei. Gu Zhao pulled her aside, had Big Eagle and Little Eagle obscure the drone’s view, and the two began speaking in hushed tones.
Gu Zhao also relayed the information she’d gotten from the cat about Yu Xiaowei’s father’s true identity.
Yu Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, her expression bitter, but she quickly found peace with the news.
"It’s a good thing I was abandoned. Otherwise, I would’ve been raised to be a moron just like them."
Yu Xiaowei left with the production team, and she took the Persian cat with her to adopt it.
Just as some people in the live comments were still questioning the truth of the gossip, two surveillance clips went viral online.
One showed Yu Zimo being switched at birth, and the other showed Yu Xiaowei being switched.
Even the police issued a public notice.
The Yu Family was finished.
[Oh my god! What kind of cursed ground is the Yu Family estate? Not a single one of them is a biological child, hahaha.]
[Every single person in the Yu household plays a part, hahaha. The butler, the nanny, the masters—they’re all villains.]
Gu Zhao and her group relaxed, enjoying some food and drinks.
Ye Zuiyi suddenly remembered something.
She remembered...
In her past life, a top-tier foreign tycoon’s family was supposed to visit the grasslands for a tour tomorrow...
And their youngest daughter would get lost on the plains.
In her past life, she had been the one to find the girl, and that family later became her greatest backer.
This might be her chance in this life, too!
