Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Tong Sinian: [Think of another approach. We can’t let her catch on.]

Tong Jiayin was growing increasingly frustrated. If she didn’t fear Gu Yang’s suspicions, she would have waited for Gu Yang to return and confronted her directly about doing a paternity test.

Tong Jiayin: [I can’t come up with anything. Gu Jin is overly protective of Gu Yang, and she’s formidable in a fight. There’s no way I could do a DNA test on Gu Yang without her noticing.]

Tong Jiayin threw her phone onto the table in exasperation, no longer in the mood to read messages.

In the past, even if Gu Yang had been her mother’s abandoned illegitimate child, she wouldn’t have been bothered by it. But things were different now.

She and her brother weren’t actually born to their mother.

When that unfamiliar woman showed her the paternity test results claiming to be her biological mother, she didn’t believe it at first. However, later her father and brother confirmed the truth.

In that moment, Tong Jiayin felt like her whole world had shattered.

They had asked her to help confront their mother, but on one side were her biological parents and on the other was her mother, who had showered her with love since childhood. How could she bring herself to do it?

She dared not let her mother discover the truth. Her mother was more ruthless than anyone else; in the past, she had expelled her own sister from the family over personal grudges. If she found out that her father and brother had betrayed her, she would surely seek retribution.

Unable to face her mother, Tong Jiayin lived in constant tension, avoiding returning to the Tong family home. During this period, she mostly stayed in her dormitory or rented accommodation.

The weather in the capital had been relentless with continuous rain and snow, adding to the cold atmosphere.

On a Friday after her last class, Gu Yang received a message from Ji Minghui. He informed her about a patient suffering from severe insomnia who needed her expertise in hypnosis.

This patient had been struggling with sleep issues for a long time, and even interventions from experts at the Psychology Society had proven ineffective.

Ji Minghui suggested Gu Yang for the treatment and sought her opinion. The consultation fee offered was substantial, 20 million.

With her weekend free, Gu Yang agreed to take on the case.

Moreover, after successfully hypnotizing Jiang Mo multiple times to treat his severe OCD, Gu Yang noticed an improvement in her own mental resilience and hypnosis skills.

Feeling that treating patients in her spare time could not only earn her extra income but also enhance her abilities, Gu Yang readily agreed when Ji Minghui arranged for her to treat a new patient. On Saturday morning, a car would pick her up from the south gate of Hua University and take her to the patient’s residence.

The south gate was conveniently close to the female dormitory.

During weekends, few students preferred eating in the canteen, especially Tong Jiayin. She went out for breakfast with Su Ziyun and happened to spot Gu Yang stepping into a luxury car.

When Tong Jiayin recognized the driver opening the door for Gu Yang, she froze.

It was her mother’s driver!

Su Ziyun followed Tong Jiayin’s gaze and also saw Gu Yang entering the luxury vehicle.

Gu Yang belonged to the eldest branch of the Gu family in the capital. Despite not being their biological daughter, she was treated as one. It was natural for her to travel in luxury.

Although Su Ziyun didn’t understand why Tong Jiayin was so taken aback, she didn’t press for details. Instead, she commented, “It must be Gu Yang’s family picking her up, right? But isn’t she always with Gu Jin? Why is she going home alone?”

She couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy. “Gu Yang is so fortunate. I don’t know her origins, but being raised by the wealthy Gu family as their daughter for so long must be wonderful.”

“She enjoyed wealth and glory. Even if her identity as an adopted daughter was revealed later, the Gu family still regarded her as their own. In any other family, how could they lavish such care and status on someone not born into the family?”
