Chapter 200: Chapter 200

In the past two days, Qin Yiheng and Ye Zhilin had reached a common goal: to ensure that Qin Zhennan would never come out.

In this way, Ye Zhilin resolved her hatred towards Qin Zhennan for abusing her, and he could forever secure his position as the president of Twilight.

Unfortunately, there was still Gu Shaohua.

Gu Shaohua was a mountain that he could not overthrow with his own strength.

Indeed, after Qin Zhennan’s threats, Gu Shaohua had been mediating with all his might, striving to lighten the sentence for Qin Zhennan.

Qin Yiheng sighed deeply, "I’ve done everything to smooth things over, but my power and face are far less than Gu Shaohua’s."

Ye Zhilin gritted her teeth in hatred, "That pair of filthy dogs."

Qin Yiheng didn’t have much emotional fluctuation. He used to appear gentle and elegant, but ever since he got the president’s seat, he appeared more and more sinister and charming, with a cold smile always hanging at the corner of his lips.

He said, "What really happened back then, why isn’t Gu Jiayin Dad’s child?"

Ye Zhilin snorted coldly, "Back then, Qin Zhennan and Gu Shaohua conspired to drug Sheng Lanzhang and Gu Qiyun together, but they got the room wrong, and by a twist of fate, Sheng Lanzhang and Gu Qiyun ended up in the same room, while Qin Zhennan and Gu Shaohua slept together." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꞁire.net

Qin Yiheng sat up straight in surprise, "So, Gu Jiayin and Gu Yachen are Sheng Lanzhang’s children? Sheng Qianchi is Dad’s child?"

"No," Ye Zhilin shook her head, "Gu Qiyun gave birth to Gu Yachen and Sheng Qianchi."

"What?!" Qin Yiheng suddenly frowned, the truth was completely beyond his imagination, "Sheng Qianchi was born by Gu Qiyun?"

"That’s right," Ye Zhilin nodded, "Back then, Gu Qiyun gave birth to twin brothers, who were Gu Yachen and Sheng Qianchi, and Gu Shaohua gave birth to a girl. So she and Qin Zhennan discussed swapping their girl with one of Gu Qiyun’s children to deal with the possibility of Sheng Lanzhang doing a paternity test, and secure her position in the Sheng Family, vying for the position of heir."

"Then," Qin Yiheng was puzzled, "how is Gu Jiayin not Dad’s child?"

Ye Zhilin said, "At that time, Gu Shaohua gave birth to a girl, but the child looked too much like her. Fearing that keeping her in the Gu Family would eventually raise suspicions, they orchestrated another switch with a premature baby in an incubator, using that premature baby to swap for Sheng Qianchi."

Qin Yiheng, "That premature baby was Gu Jiayin?"

"Yes." Ye Zhilin nodded, "Knowing today would bring such troubles, they should have drowned Gu Jiayin in infancy at the very beginning."

Qin Yiheng frowned even more, "Mom, those who gave birth in Licheng City Hospital were not regular families, they were either noble women or rich people’s mistresses. They swapped Gu Jiayin back, and no one noticed all these years?"

Ye Zhilin laughed, "They had thought of that long ago, so when swapping the baby in the incubator, they were very selective. It happened that a couple from abroad was in Licheng for business, had a car accident, and delivered prematurely. At the time, the woman had a hemorrhage after childbirth, and the husband was busy caring for his wife, neglecting the baby in the incubator. Later, this family was discharged and went back abroad, with no further contact."

Qin Yiheng nodded with understanding and couldn’t help but laugh mischievously. Unexpectedly, there was such an accidental relationship between Qin Zhennan and Gu Shaohua, and they even had a daughter living in this world.

Ye Zhilin calling them filthy dogs wasn’t an exaggeration at all, for the sake of wealth and fortune, they even abandoned their own daughter.

Gu Jiayin stayed at Twilight Manor for an entire day.

She cleared out all belongings of the Qin Family left in the villa, then ordered new furniture and household items, and meticulously inspected each room.

However, no hidden compartments or secret rooms that could store treasures were found, nor any mechanisms or secrets.

Searching for the Blood Tears Jade remained a distant task.

Ah Yan had told her that the Blood Tears Jade had been lost for so many years and was not easy to find. She naturally knew this and was prepared for long-term persistence.

As the sun set in the west, she walked out of the villa to inspect the winery that her grandfather had built.

After her grandfather passed away, Qin Zhennan had abandoned it, no longer producing wine. The winery was covered in dust, all the utensils were old and worn out, and the space was filled with cobwebs.

Sister Li, holding Jiajia, followed behind Gu Jiayin, and upon seeing the desolate winery, she couldn’t help but sigh, "Back in the day, the old master personally made wine here, meticulously crafted. The wine he brewed was so fragrant, and the Twilight Manor was so warm and prosperous."

Gu Jiayin tore down a cobweb in front of her, "It doesn’t matter, I can rebuild that prosperity and pass on my grandfather’s craft."

She turned to Sister Li, "Go find some people to clean the winery well."

"Okay, I’ll handle it right away."

As soon as Sister Li left, Sheng Qianchi arrived, accompanied by Mo Jun, and behind them was a capable-looking young woman in her twenties wearing black and white business attire.

Upon seeing Gu Jiayin, the woman immediately smiled politely and nodded in greeting, "Hello, Miss Gu."

Just as Gu Jiayin was about to return the smile, Sheng Qianchi already pulled her into his embrace, smiling as he introduced, "Mo Rong, Mo Jun’s sister, very capable, will be your assistant from now on. For rebuilding Twilight Vineyard, you can instruct her to assist you."

Mo Jun was Sheng Qianchi’s close aide, highly trusted. Sheng Qianchi choosing Mo Rong for her indeed provided peace of mind.

Gu Jiayin looked at Mo Rong again, "There will be many things troubling you in the future."

Mo Rong smiled respectfully, "Miss Gu, please feel free to give instructions."

After introducing Mo Rong to Gu Jiayin, Mo Jun left with Mo Rong.

When the winery had only two people left, Sheng Qianchi looked down at Gu Jiayin, who was carefully studying the winery, "Are you satisfied with Mo Rong?"

"She looks good." Gu Jiayin’s first impression of Mo Rong was quite satisfactory. She liked clean, capable girls with a simple style, "Ultimately, it will depend on how she handles things."

Sheng Qianchi smiled, "Alright, if you’re not satisfied, I’ll find you a new assistant."

Gu Jiayin thought for a moment, "I’ve never heard about Mo Jun having a sister; they don’t look alike at all."

Sheng Qianchi replied casually, "They’re not biological siblings; Mo Rong was adopted by Mo Jun’s dad from an orphanage."

As he spoke, he pulled Gu Jiayin out of the winery, just in time for Sister Li to bring people over to clean.

Sister Li asked Sheng Qianchi with a smile, "Young Master Chi, where will you be dining tonight, here or going back to Shuiyunjian? I should prepare in advance?"

Sheng Qianchi, holding Gu Jiayin with one hand and the other hand in his pocket, appeared relaxed, "We’re going to the Sheng Family’s old house to eat, you don’t need to be busy."

"?" Gu Jiayin raised her head in surprise to look at Sheng Qianchi.

She only mentioned in the morning that she would find time to meet Gu Shaohua, did he need to arrange it so urgently?

Sheng Qianchi smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "It wasn’t my arrangement, but my father heard we reconciled, so he wants to officially meet you at the old house."
