Mr. Gu, Your Replacement Bride Is A Big Shot! Chapter 1857 -: Sad

Upon finishing her words, Song Yu's face drained of all color. She turned towards Qiao Nian and spoke in a shaking voice, “I’m really living in the Lu family on behalf of Sister. I…

Qiao Nian saw Song Yu blaming herself and quickly offered comfort. “Yu’er, this really has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself at all. It’s entirely their fault.”

Lu Zhu cast his eyes downward a bit and went on, “Yu’er, you can withdraw now if you want.”

“No need, Brother. I want to help my family track down that villain.” The siblings started plotting in the study.

Auntie Cao noticed Song Yu’s face growing more and more ghastly. She passed her a bowl of chicken soup and said with concern, “I’ve told you they don’t see you as family whatsoever. You’re this ill already, yet they’ve never once considered caring for you.”

“Auntie Cao, I’ve asked you not to say such things again.” Song Yu raised her eyes to Auntie Cao, her heart overflowing with grief. She couldn’t fathom why Auntie Cao kept trying to sabotage her family. They all clearly regarded her as one of their own.

“Sixth Miss, they truly don’t care for you one bit. Since Eldest Miss came back, everyone’s been cold to you and dislikes you. Yet you’re still foolishly defending them. People always prioritize blood relations,” Auntie Cao remarked emotionally.

Over the following three days, tensions between Qiao Nian and Song Yu intensified steadily, leading Song Yu to haul her suitcase back to her apartment for some rest.

Noticing this, Auntie Cao rushed after her, insisting she’d look after Sixth Miss.

That evening, once Song Yu had drifted off to sleep, Auntie Cao pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

“She’s completely fallen out with the Lu family now. Should I bring her to meet you?” Auntie Cao asked cautiously.

A brief silence came from the other side before the voice replied, “If that’s the situation, then bring her along. Just tell her it’s to talk about a collaboration.”

The following morning, Song Yu sat at the breakfast table, having her meal.

With a ashen face, Auntie Cao thrust her phone towards Song Yu and spoke urgently,

“Sixth Miss, look at this. You’ve only just stormed out of the house, and already the Lu family is spreading damaging rumors about you along with that rape video.”

The spoon slipped from Song Yu’s grasp, clattering to the floor before breaking into shards. Her face went deathly white, her body rocking unsteadily. “This can’t be happening. No way. My brothers would never do this to me. Back when we all got mad before, they never…”

“Oh, my Sixth Miss, why at a moment like this are you still calling them your brothers? While you lived in the Lu family, the dining table only had dishes Eldest Miss loved. Master and Madam showered Eldest Miss with heaps of gold, silver, and jewels. Word is, they handed over tons of businesses to her too.” Auntie Cao seized every chance without fail to badmouth the Lu family. “You humiliated Eldest Miss yesterday. How could they possibly spare you?”

Tears streamed down Song Yu’s cheeks one after another. In a pitiable voice, she murmured, “What am I supposed to do now? My biggest dream has always been to become a great actress. But someone’s used an AI face-swap to frame me. I can’t clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River. My career in acting could be over just like that.”

Song Yu slumped back into her chair, utterly dejected. Agony and despair filled her eyes, resembling a lifeless doll stripped of its spirit, nothing but an empty husk remaining.

Auntie Cao swiftly soothed Song Yu and whispered, “Sixth Miss, don’t cry. I’ll take you to meet someone!”

Song Yu’s bright eyes brimmed with tears. She gazed at Auntie Cao, puzzled.

Auntie Cao had already reached out to them beforehand, prompting her suggestion. Once Song Yu nodded in agreement, Auntie Cao wasted no time whisking her off to meet that individual.

Song Yu trailed after Auntie Cao to a suburban villa blooming with floral scents. Its classical Chinese decor evoked the sensation of stepping into ancient times.

The nanny answered the door and ushered Auntie Cao and Song Yu inside. Upon reaching the first-floor living room, Song Yu spotted a stunning young woman by the French window. Smiling, the woman approached her.
