1 Chapter 1: The True and False Heiress

Xia Family's old residence, Guest Room

Every member of the Xia Family sat in chairs, eyeing a modestly dressed, cold-looking girl.

Xia Yue was also looking at the girl, thinking to herself, fiction really draws from life, I can't believe I might be a fake heiress.

The head of the family, seated at the front, looked at the girl and then at Xia Yue, he said, "I have called the doctor, in a while, you, your spouse, Xia Yue, and Zhuang Xi will all do a paternity test."

"Zhuang Xi, stay here for the time being. Once the results are out, we'll discuss it further. What do you think?"

The old patriarch asked the girl, Zhuang Xi, for her opinion.

"Okay," Zhuang Xi nodded.

Xia Yue was certain that Zhuang Xi must be the real heiress.

After all, she resembled her siblings quite a bit, and was also very pretty. Unlike her, she didn't resemble her parents or siblings, and wasn't very attractive.

Soon enough, the doctor arrived, took blood samples from Xia Yue, Zhuang Xi, and their parents, and quickly left.

"All right, if there's nothing else, you may disperse, go about your business. Xia Yue and Zhuang Xi will stay in the villa." The old patriarch directed everyone.

"Yes," everyone agreed, nodding towards the old patriarch and his wife.

The old patriarch and his wife were the first to leave.

The elder cousins and uncle's family left soon after.

Remaining were Xia Yue, Zhuang Xi, their parents, and their siblings Xia Qing and Xia Yu.

Xia Linsong said to his wife, Song Qin, "Let's go, we have class in the afternoon. We'll discuss this further when we return."

"Right," Song Qin nodded. As for this newfound daughter, they expressed no surprise at all.

After they left, Xia Qing looked at them for a moment, then followed them out, leaving Xia Yu alone with the two girls.

"Can I call you Xixi?" Xia Yu asked Zhuang Xi.

"As you wish." Zhuang Xi replied coldly.

"Then, I'll take you to your room for a break." Xia Yu said.

"Okay," Zhuang Xi nodded, got up, and carried her luggage.

"Yueyue, you come along too." Xia Yu, addressed Xia Yue who was still sitting.

"Huh? Oh." Xia Yue, startled by Xia Yu's words, got up and followed them.

Honestly, Xia Yue was quite scared of this brother of hers.

Xia Yu brought Zhuang Xi to a guest room and said, "You can stay here for now. Once the paternity test results come back, we'll move you back home."

"Okay, thank you." Zhuang Xi nodded and thanked him.

"You can rest now. If you don't want to stay in your room, you can stroll around the courtyard. When it is time for meals, someone will call you to the dining hall. Alternatively, we can have meals delivered to your room." Xia Yu informed her.

"Okay." Zhuang Xi nodded.

"Then, rest now." Xia Yu said.

"All right." Zhuang Xi nodded again, then he closed the door.

At the door, Xia Yu said to Xia Yue, "Yueyue, come with me."

"Okay," Xia Yue obediently nodded her head.

Together they went to the courtyard, under the pavilion.

The two of them faced each other.

"Brother, do you have something you want to tell me?" Xia Yue asked Xia Yu cautiously.

"Yueyue, even if you are not the real daughter of the Xia family, I will always be your brother. Don't worry about your life in the future." Xia Yu said directly to Xia Yue.

To be honest, Xia Yue was quite moved. After all, everyone knew that Zhuang Xi was the real heiress, considering she resembled the other members of the Xia family.

"Thank you, brother. I understand." Xia Yue said, smiling.
