Her cold attitude towards them before came from her heart. The present warmth she was putting on display chilled her to the bones.

She swallowed the explanations she planned on giving.

If they were to discover the truth now, would they do something to Mother in a fit of anger?

Zhuang Nainai’s hands shook slightly in fear.

Gu Deshou looked at her kindly again and asked, “Oh, right, you were planning on telling me something?”

Say something?

That had to be kept a secret now!

Zhuang Nainai gulped. “Oh, I just wanted to ask, isn’t there a family dinner tonight? What should I wear? Will your children look down on me?”

Gu Deshou laughed and replied, “It doesn’t matter what you wear, you are my daughter, and that cannot be faked.”

Was he implying something?

Zhuang Nainai blinked. Was Gu Deshou trying to remind her that she was really their daughter?

And that was something that cannot be faked? Like the wedding?

Zhuang Nainai obediently followed Gu Deshou back to the Gu residence, keeping her temper in check.

She shed her feisty aggression and swapped it for a tame and mellow front.

At the family dinner, for the very first time, she met her younger siblings who were born with silver spoons in their mouths.

Her brother, Gu Xinghao, was only two years younger than her. He was twenty and still in college. His arrogant demeanor showed that he wanted nothing to do with his older sister.

Her sister, Gu Xingshan, just turned eighteen and was a freshman in college. She had a bright innocent smile, but in her eyes lurked a sly glint.

The siblings saw Zhuang Nainai, and Gu Xinghao broke into a smile. “You must be the elder sister of ours who grew up in the slums! Tell us! How did someone like you manage to get Mr. Si to marry you?”

His question was dripping with mistrust and disdain. It made Zhuang Nainai shudder.

Gu Deshou stood and reprimanded, “Xinghao, is that how you should be talking to your elder sister?”

Gu Xinghao waved his father off. “Dad, everyone asks me the same thing in school! So here I am, getting an explanation! Mr. Si has not laid eyes on a girl all these years, and no one really matches up to him. This sister of ours is pretty, but she is so lowly, what can Mr. Si possibly see in her? Perhaps she’s lying to us?”

Gu Xingshan spoke slowly in a pseudo attempt to speak up for Zhuang Nainai.

“Brother, you shouldn’t speak like that. What good does Big Sister get out of scamming us? Mr. Si must have had his reasons for liking her!”

Gu Xinghao laughed. “You don’t know anything, I just heard news from the press that she took 500 thousand yuan from us.”

He then looked at Zhuang Nainai and mocked, “Big Sister, is this all a show you put up? Did you photoshop that picture on the papers?”

He clearly did not buy her story.

His speech also roused suspicion in Gu Deshou and Li Yufeng.

Zhuang Nainai lowered her eyes and felt a little nervous.

Gu Xingshan laughed and replied, “Brother, the photos must be real! Who would dare to spread rumors about Mr. Si? But if everyone still has suspicions, it can all be resolved when Big Sister gives a call to Mr. Si! It will all be cleared up when we witness Mr. Si’s reply!”

Give Si Zhengting a call?

That would be digging her own grave!

Zhuang Nainai’s heart shuddered.
