Chapter 261 The whole world is against their love
In a flash, An Ying's pupils dilated slightly.
A crazy idea flashed through her mind.
She couldn't say a word; she could only remain silent, her mind buzzing.
Her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white.
If what Gu Qingwen said is true...
So, is she the young heiress of the Gu family?
Is the man in front of him his brother?
How could that be...?
Over the years, she has long accepted that she is a helpless weed.
She had long been accustomed to facing the world alone with strength.
A ringing in her ears and a feeling of dizziness made her feel like the coffee she had just drunk was churning in her stomach.
An Ying stared blankly ahead.
The sound of raindrops outside the window seemed to have disappeared.
Seeing An Ying's distraught appearance, Gu Qingwen beckoned, signaling An Ying to offer her her palm.
It took An Ying a while to react. She vigorously wiped the sweat from her palms on her clothes and reached out.
Gu Qingwen gently placed the key into her palm.
The warmth of the key emanated from my palm.
It's warm and cozy.
An Ying took a deep breath, held the key in front of her eyes, and examined it carefully for a while.
This key looks exactly like my own, but the material is slightly different.
Gu Qingwen lowered her eyes and recalled: "This key can open our old-fashioned carved wooden cabinet. This cabinet was part of my great-grandmother's dowry when she got married. It was also a piece of Ming Dynasty furniture passed down from her family. It is a priceless antique, and she treasured it very much."
"After my great-grandmother married into the family, my great-grandfather made her a locket by hand. The patterns were all hand-drawn by my great-grandmother, and it is the only one of its kind in the world."
"When my sister turned one month old, at the celebration, she picked up this key during the traditional Chinese first birthday celebration. Everyone laughed and said that my sister was the smartest and that the most valuable thing she picked up was the key."
"My sister's full moon celebration lasted for two days. The first day was a celebration within our Gu family, and the second day was a banquet attended by almost all the prominent people in the country."
"She was supposed to be the happiest girl in the world, but she was lost at the full moon celebration the next day."
“My parents were so anxious that they searched all night long, turning almost the entire northern part of the city upside down. How my sister got lost all those years ago, and who lost her, has almost become a mystery. My parents are exhausted.”
"Because my sister was lost in Beicheng, my parents strongly negotiated with the Fu family, demanding their help, but they all ignored it and were very indifferent."
"Although our family and the Fu family used to have some friction in order to compete for business, after this incident, the Gu family and the Fu family completely broke up."
“My father shifted all his business focus to the South City and cut off all ties with the Fu family.”
His voice was soft, yet every word was clear.
An Ying listened intently.
Tears silently streamed down her face.
Gu Qingwen looked at her, took out a tissue and handed it to her.
An Ying took it, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and thanked him in a muffled voice.
She steadied her breathing and said, "My key is at home. Mr. Gu, if you'd like to see it, I can go back and get it now..."
Gu Qingwen smiled modestly and said, "No rush. I believe you won't lie. We can see for ourselves when we meet next time."
An Ying nodded.
Gu Qingwen let out a long sigh of relief.
"An Ying, would you be willing to take some time to do a DNA test?"
An Yingren was still confused, and subconsciously replied, "Okay."
How could she not agree?
She used to live like a drifting duckweed, floating aimlessly.
When Cao Ming was still alive, she still thought she was a child with both parents.
After Cao Ming's death, she suffered a huge blow, not only from the loss of her mother.
She also had to face the fact that she was an orphan, and An Weiping looked at her as if she were a burden.
She also had to deal with Xu Mei and An Xiaoxiao.
Now, Gu Qingwen tells her that she might be his long-lost sister.
An Ying felt a surge of excitement and exhilaration.
She's going to have a home.
She's finally going to have real family of her own.
Gu Qingwen looked at An Ying's gradually calming expression, lowered his head and smiled meaningfully.
In the instant he looked down, he caught a glimpse of the ring on An Ying's slender finger.
Gu Qingwen instantly understood: this was Fu Chengli's doing again.
Did he think that proposing would work?
If An Ying really is her sister, Fu Chengli will have to get past him, her older brother, before he can marry her.
Gu Qingwen seemed to realize something, his eyes darkened, and he changed the subject, saying:
“An Ying, can you keep our conversation today a secret? This is also for your protection.”
The Gu family's search for their long-lost child is of great significance.
If word gets out, or if it's publicized widely.
Ultimately, the DNA test revealed that she was not the real heiress...
An Ying is likely to become the laughing stock of everyone.
Moreover, the Fu family and the Gu family have always been at odds, so her situation in the Fu family will be even more difficult.
Gu Qingwen's thoughts were very thorough.
Every aspect has been considered.
DNA testing can only be conducted quietly.
An Ying nodded: "Okay, Chairman Gu."
Gu Qingwen looked at her and continued, "What I mean is, today's conversation should only be known to the two of us, and you should keep it a secret from Fu Chengli as well."
"This matter should not be known to anyone in the Fu family."
An Ying was taken aback.
He silently hummed in agreement.
Gu Qingwen narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "I suggest you keep your distance from Fu Chengli for the time being. This man is very cunning. As far as I know, he has murdered people abroad before..."
An Ying looked at Gu Qingwen and smiled helplessly.
Lu Qiyao said the same thing.
Almost everyone has a strong prejudice against Fu Chengli, believing him to be ruthless and heartless.
Almost everyone was advising An Ying to break up with him.
It was as if the whole world was against their love.
An Ying sighed helplessly.
Gu Qingwen raised an eyebrow, looked at An Ying's conflicted expression, and tugged at the corner of his lips.
"An Ying, do you like him a lot?"
An Ying lowered her eyes and tugged at the hem of her clothes with her fingers.
I like it, of course I do.
He was the man she had finally mustered the courage to accept love again.
She didn't speak, but her gaze softened.
Gu Qingwen let out a cold snort.
"If he knew you were my sister and deliberately hid it from you and deceived you, would you still like him so much?"
An Ying was speechless for a moment, and her face turned pale.
Gu Qingwen's words were like a knife stabbing into a deep part of her heart.
Is it possible that Fu Chengli knows about her background?
You've been keeping it from her all along?!
At that moment, a cold male voice came from not far behind.
"Chairman Gu, you're in such high spirits, inviting young women for coffee on a rainy day. Aren't you worried about what people will say?"
An Ying turned around and looked.
A familiar, tall figure walked towards her.
Fu Chengli walked over quickly with a gloomy face and long strides.
His tall figure drew near, casting a deep shadow on An Ying's face.
Fu Chengli pulled out the chair next to An Ying and sat down.
His arm was draped over the back of An Ying's chair, and his body was slightly leaning towards her.
Fu Chengli stood like an impenetrable wall, protecting An Ying behind him.
He looked at her warily.
"An Ying, what did Gu Qingwen say to you?"
