Chapter 67: On the Front Lines

uld break off his engagement with my father and have a fair fight with him. I would respect him as a man!"You're only resorting to such underhanded tactics because you know you can't defeat my father...Zhao Xianrou then choked out the story, leaving out the fact that her own mother was the instigator. She hinted to Yang Ziyi that the body swap was intentional and subtly pointed fingers at the Feng family.

Yang Ziyì never interrupted her from beginning to end. At first, his expression was a little surprised, but as she spoke, he gradually returned to his usual emotionless face. After listening to her, he finally spoke:

Besides your parents, who else knows about this

"I only told you because I didn't want you to hear it from someone else."

Zhao Xianrou's eyes, bloodshot and red, held a hint of reluctance and heartache as she gazed at Yang Ziyi.

"What did Uncle Zhao mean"

Yang Ziyix asked very calmly.

"I don't know what Dad is planning. After all, that girl hasn't spent time with them yet, and she's just an ordinary high school student in a small town. Besides, she's very close to her biological parents and doesn't want to transfer schools to Shanghai."

Zhao Xianrou spoke the truth, after all, this was what Lianyi said herself.

Young Ziyi lowered his head and pondered for a moment before raising his hand to pat Zhao Xianrou's shoulder and saying:

"I understand. This is not something we can interfere with. The best course of action right now is to wait and see what happens."

Before Yang Ziyi could finish his words, he saw a flicker of disappointment in Xianrou's eyes. Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls, and she choked out,

"Ziyi, I understand. Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore."

After finishing, she covered her face and ran away.

Yang Ziyi's raised hand remained suspended in mid-air, his eyes following the departing figure of the girl. A flicker of hesitation crossed his gaze before he lowered his hand and stood for a moment, then turned and walked away. This was such important news, he naturally needed to tell his parents, after all, the person he was getting engaged to was Zhao's daughter.

After Yang Ziyi left, another girl walked out from behind a sturdy Chinese parasol tree. The girl was wearing a school uniform, with a curvaceous figure and light makeup that softened her overly mature seductive look. She appeared pure, elegant, and full of personal charm.

Wei Xinyi curled her lips into a smile, she thought today was really a good day, unexpectedly allowing her to hear such good news.

In her eyes, Yang Ziyi had long been her target, but due to Zhao Xianrou's family background and the relationship between the Zhao and Yang families, she had hesitated to make a move. Now that she knew Zhao Xianrou was not actually Zhao's biological daughter, her opportunity had naturally arrived.

In the eyes of these powerful families, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. The union between the children of the Yang and Zhao families is nothing more than a merger of money and power. It doesn't matter to anyone, but it certainly wouldn't be Zhao Xianrou, this imposter.

As for Zhao Jia's true daughter, judging from Zhao Xianrou's tone, she doesn't seem to be very outstanding or impressive. Since the final obstacle has been eliminated, she has no reason not to take action. After all, their Wei family is only slightly inferior to the Zhao family.

Wei Xinyi's smile gradually widened, then she turned and left her hiding place, disappearing into the schoolyard.

In Shanghai, Zhao Xianrou couldn't hold back and revealed this news automatically, causing the Yang family, Wei family, Zhao family, and Zhou family to fall into an eerie silence.

And Zhao Fenglin, upon learning that it was Xianrou who had proactively revealed the news to the Yang family, couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment. The other party was too eager, having told this information to the person who should least know about it. Perhaps in the future, even this marriage wouldn't be secure.

Her own daughter, Lian'Yi, is very smart. She knows that in her current situation, it would be very difficult to force herself into the circle in Magic City. Not to mention her background, even Zhao XianRou would definitely try to trip her up. So she wisely chose to avoid the limelight and set her sights on the capital where the Zhao family is about to move.

Doing this would allow her to accumulate capital for herself while temporarily avoiding becoming the focus of public scrutiny and reducing the animosity directed towards her. It would also alleviate the worries of her parents, who would become even more doting on her, ensuring that she receives resources comparable to that of a biological daughter.

Zhao Fenglin is still quite proud. His daughter has the same demeanor as he did back then. In comparison, she seems more delicate and lacks order in her actions, even appearing somewhat self-serving.

Zhao Xianrou found herself in a predicament, as news that she wasn't Zhao Fenglin's biological daughter spread throughout the upper echelons of Modu society due to Wei Xinyi's deliberate dissemination. Everyone was waiting to see how the Zhao family would handle Xianrou's situation.

Everybody is discussing openly and honestly:

"Should we call her Zhao Xianrou or Wu Xianrou now She's studying in Modu, so far away from her biological parents. Don't they miss her It took so much effort to find their biological daughter back."

"So what Anyone would know which choice is better! As the adopted daughter of the Zhao family versus going back to the Wu family, they naturally know which one would be better for their daughter."

"So, what about the marriage alliance between the Zhao and Yang families"

"It's hard to say. Although Qianrou isn't Zhao's biological daughter, she has been raised since childhood. Besides lacking blood ties, she is still a suitable daughter-in-law for the Yang family."

As for her biological daughter, although the blood ties cannot be severed, she has a distant relationship with the Zhao family and hasn't received the upbringing of a large family. She might fall short and unable to bear the weight of this familial connection.

"If you were in this situation, what would you choose"

"If I were Yang Ziyi, I would choose Zhao Jia's biological daughter."

A boy with his legs crossed said.

Why

"It's so easy to appease someone who knows nothing! This is a marriage of convenience after all. Since she didn't grow up in Mo City, she must feel insecure. As long as I give her enough face and don't go too far, it'll be good for everyone!"

The young man spoke with animated gestures, as if that timid girl was right in front of him, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

"Of course!"

"Haha! Are you going to get two, three, or four more lovers"

""

Several people who were debating burst into unrestrained laughter.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xianrou at the corner of the building gripped her textbook tightly in her chest. Her knuckles had turned white from the force.

She heard their whispers loud and clear. They didn't even bother to hide it from her. If not for the fact that she had been keeping a cold face lately, these people would have approached her directly by now.

"Soft and cute little sister, what are you doing here Snooping isn't nice!"

Wei Xinyi pretended to have just discovered Zhao Xianrou, and deliberately said loudly, attracting the attention of that group of people.

Zhao Xianrou looked at the confident girl in front of her, relaxed her grip on the textbook, and said softly:

"Do I need to eavesdrop Aren't they deliberately speaking for me to hear"

After finishing his words, he walked straight out from the corner and approached the lively crowd they had been discussing earlier. Standing before them, he spoke in a soft voice:

Whether it's me or Lianyi marrying into the Yang family, it has nothing to do with you meddling. But you've reminded me, I will tell my father what you've said, lest Sister Lianyi become a puppet after the marriage.as an excuse to search again"I won't say the dowry has been turned upside down by you, but how can we allow these male guards to look through our intimate clothing"I don't know if we'll become the new...
