Chapter 1055: All Different

Editor: Henyee Translations

How could Ruan Xueling still be alive?

In her previous life, Ruan Xueling had been dead by this time. Not only had Ruan Xueling perished, but the entire Gu family in Jin City had also been destroyed, leaving only herself, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue alive.

The Gu family in the capital should have been the head of the second branch. Gu Shuxue had promised her that if Gu Zhaoming’s family was eliminated, she would inherit all the assets of the first branch, allowing her to completely sever ties with her identity as a fake daughter.

But now, Ruan Xueling had become the mistress of the Gu family in the capital. This meant that Gu Zhaoming had returned to the capital and taken over as the head of the Gu family.

And Ruan Xueling was so friendly with Gu Jin?

Gu Yang, who was Wuyang, understood that after reverting to her true self, it made sense for Gu Jin and her to be close as sisters. But how could Gu Jin and Ruan Xueling have such a strong bond?

Everything was different.

She had hoped to avoid the tragic ending of her past life by returning to her body, but she hadn’t anticipated missing so much.

Why had she ended up in such a miserable situation, even though she and the Gu family were in the same body and situation? She remained a fake daughter of the Gu family in Jin City until her death.

Why was Gu Yang able to unlock so many noble new identities?

Bai Yueshuang’s heart surged with intense frustration, but she forced herself to suppress her emotions, knowing the methods of the person behind it all. Still, the depth of her hatred was palpable, as if she wished to strangle Gu Yang.

Gu Yang studied Bai Yueshuang with interest.

Bai Yueshuang’s reaction to Ruan Xueling was noticeably different. However, according to their research, there had been no previous interaction between Bai Yueshuang and Ruan Xueling, whether at the orphanage or during their time overseas with the Bai family.

Aside from her interactions with Mrs. Bai, Ruan Xueling’s focus was primarily on her own daughters, and she had paid little attention to Bai Yueshuang.

Additionally, Tong Wan had mentioned that Gu Yang and Gu Jin did not care much for this illegitimate daughter of the Bai family. Given their indifference, Ruan Xueling naturally felt no need to pay her much attention.

Mrs. Bai apologized to Ruan Xueling and her companions for Bai Yueshuang’s earlier behavior. “Yueshuang grew up overseas without an elder to guide her, so she lacks some manners. Please excuse her.”

Ruan Xueling smiled and replied, “It’s alright.”

Family Head Bai, known for his playboy lifestyle and numerous illegitimate children, had only Bai Yueshuang recognized within the family. Madam Bai, from the Ji family—a branch of the medical family—had used her connections to ensure that only Bai Yueshuang was acknowledged by Family Head Bai, while his other illegitimate children remained unrecognized.

Bai Yueshuang’s mother had been Family Head Bai’s first girlfriend, who was now deceased. The first girlfriend, even in death, remained a powerful and hard-to-erase presence, especially given that she had deceived Madam Bai before her passing.

Ultimately, despite everyone’s objections, the Bai family decided to bring Bai Yueshuang home and raise her as the legitimate eldest daughter. As a result, Madam Bai harbored intense hatred for Bai Yueshuang, often mocking her and showing her no respect.

This treatment made Bai Yueshuang feel deeply embarrassed and hurt, as she was being disrespected by someone who was supposed to be like a mother to her.

Bai Yueshuang watched Ruan Xueling and her daughter, clenching her fists in frustration. Her resentment was particularly intense towards Ruan Xueling.

Although this body was not originally hers, she had grown up beside Ruan Xueling. If things had been different, Gu Jin and others would have recognized Gu Yang. Why couldn’t Ruan Xueling acknowledge her, simply because Gu Yang was more outstanding in the past? Was it just because everyone favored Gu Yang over her?
