On the following day, Lin Yin accompanied her family to the Mu family’s ancestral mansion.
At first, Mu Cheng had only planned a modest and low-key birthday celebration.
Yet, Mu Cheng hadn’t anticipated Sun Yun urging Mu Ning to turn it into such a grand affair. With a helpless smile toward Lin Yin and the rest, Mu Cheng proceeded to mingle, grinning at the guests offering their birthday wishes in the hall.
Spotting Lin Yin and the others while still greeting visitors, Mu Ning approached eagerly, clinging to Ye Wen’s arm with feigned warmth. In a sugary tone, she said, “Mom, Brother, you’re here. I’ll take you over there.”
Mu Ning completely ignored Lin Yin, making her biased treatment crystal clear.
Ye Wen coldly shook off Mu Ning’s grip, then took Lin Yin’s hand and strode right past Mu Ning without a single word.
The Mu brothers didn’t spare a glance at the humiliated Mu Ning.
Since Mu Ning showed no regard for their sister, they refused to show her any courtesy.
Mu Ning balled her fists and ground her teeth, forcing the smile to stay on her face as she continued hosting the other guests.
The attendees at the birthday feast witnessed the exchange, exchanged knowing smirks, and then made their way toward Lin Yin.
Meanwhile, plenty of whispers circulated about Mu Ning’s arrogance in vying with Lin Yin for affection.
“Blood ties are blood ties. No impostor can ever dethrone the true heir.”
Catching the derisive looks on Lin Yin’s face, Mu Ning could no longer contain her fury. She stormed out of the hall and, in a secluded spot, vented her spiteful curses at Lin Yin.
“Why settle for secret rants when we could seize control of the Mu family and claim mastery outright?” An unknown voice sounded from behind Mu Ning.
Startled, Mu Ning whipped around to find a strikingly handsome stranger grinning at her, wine glass in hand.
Wariness in her voice, Mu Ning replied, “I have no idea what you mean. The Mu family has always treated me kindly. I’ve long been part of the family. No need for any upheaval!”
The man chuckled. “Really? Then let’s see if the Mu family, so generous to you, would still welcome you once they learn you’re the daughter of their rival. Would your grandmother continue spoiling you?”
Mu Ning’s eyes bulged. She glanced around anxiously and whispered, “What are you implying? Do I still have parents?”
She had been taken in by the Mu family from an orphanage, always assuming her parents were gone.
The man scoffed. “Naturally. You even have a twin sister. Your father orchestrated your placement with the Mu family.”
Mu Ning pressed, still doubtful, “You mentioned I’m the offspring of the Mu family’s enemy. What’s the story?”
Overhearing approaching voices, the man dropped his tone. “Years ago, the once-thriving Fu family fell victim to schemes by the eight major clans, leading to their downfall. The Zhou family, steadfast allies of the Fus, crumbled into bankruptcy too.”
“Your father belongs to the Zhou family, while your mother was coerced into another marriage to spare your sisters’ lives.”
Mu Ning stared at the man before her in stunned silence.
He went on, “But the Mu family wields immense power. Your mother abducted Lin Yin, and to avoid annihilation by the Mus, your father handed you over to Sun Yun.”
“These days, your mother has been tormented to death by Lin Yin, your twin sister’s face lies in ruins, and your father still fears returning home.”
Mu Ning couldn’t fathom such an absurd revelation. Shaking her head, she muttered, “You’re making this up, aren’t you?”
With a subtle smile, the man produced a document. “Here’s the DNA test confirming you and your sister. See for yourself.”
Noting Mu Ning’s skepticism, he added, “Without the Mu family’s collusion with others to crush the Fu and Zhou families, you wouldn’t be languishing as an adopted child. You’d be the cherished heiress of a capital powerhouse, every bit the equal of the Mu family’s young miss.”
The man’s words pierced straight to Mu Ning’s core. Tears welled in her eyes as she examined the report.
If his claims held true, she was the legitimate eldest daughter, not some forsaken adoptee forever haunted by thoughts of humble origins.
“Who are my parents and sister?” Mu Ning whispered softly.
“Your father is Zhou Li, your mother Chu Yun, and your sister Su Fei. I suspect Su Fei’s name rings a bell,” the man replied, smirking.
Mu Ning jerked her head up, eyes flaring in shock.
The very girl she had plotted against—the girl and woman she knew Lin Yin had avenged herself upon—turned out to be her own flesh-and-blood sister and mother.
Mu Ning stood frozen in place. Fury ignited within her as she clenched her teeth tightly.
Her cherished life lay in ruins because of the Mu family, while Lin Yin had sparked the bitter clash with her own kin. She was determined to make the Mu family pay the price!
