Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Tong Rao awaited Gu Yang’s response.

Gu Yang gently shook her head.

Tong Rao’s brow furrowed. “I am the head of the Tong family. Many would consider being my assistant a coveted position. Aren’t you tempted?”

She even entertained the idea of introducing Gu Yang to her son, Tong Sinian. This girl possessed more charm and capability than many others in the field.

With a polite smile, Gu Yang declined, “I appreciate your offer, but that’s not my career goal.”

Tong Rao didn’t press further.

Forcing someone into a role wouldn’t yield positive results. If she could befriend such a skilled hypnotist, it was better than making an enemy.

Moreover, Tong Rao knew she couldn’t easily recruit Gu Yang as an assistant. The Psychology Society and Hua University’s Physics Department would not allow such poaching, and Gu Zhaoming from the Gu family’s main branch wouldn’t tolerate it either.

Despite her lofty position and numerous thoughts, Tong Rao found her mind gradually relaxing as she listened to the serene melodies of the thumb piano.

Ten minutes later,

Gu Yang slung her school bag over her shoulder and exited Tong Rao’s room.

The butler stood by the door, visibly surprised by her swift departure. “Miss Gu?”

He peered into the room.

Gu Yang gestured for him to lower his voice. “Madam Tong is asleep.”

Observing Tong Rao peacefully resting on the bed, the butler gently closed the door.

The room boasted excellent soundproofing; everyday noises were effectively muffled unless someone raised their voice.

The butler sighed with relief at Tong Rao finally experiencing a good sleep. “It’s been a while since the head of the family slept so soundly.”

“Miss Gu, I will transfer the payment to you promptly,” the butler expressed gratefully to Gu Yang.

As Gu Yang descended the stairs, she advised the butler, “There’s no rush. Madam’s sleep disorder isn’t resolved yet. She’s been deprived of rest for too long, impacting her mental well-being. Let her recuperate. I’ll return next week.”

The butler smiled warmly. “Of course. Whenever you’re available, just give us a call, and I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up.”

As Gu Yang descended the stairs, she encountered Tong Jiayin.

Their relationship was strained, evident from their brief, non-verbal exchange upon meeting.

The housekeeper, noticing Tong Jiayin’s presence, expressed surprise. “Miss, why have you returned?”

Tong Jiayin, now more sensitive than before, replied sharply, “This is my home. Do I need a reason to come back?”

The butler frowned slightly, taken aback by Tong Jiayin’s aggressive tone, noting it had been a while since she last visited the manor. He also observed her lack of inquiry about the Tong Family Head’s condition.

Gu Yang interjected calmly, addressing the butler, “I’ll take my leave now.”

Hastily, the butler responded, “Miss Gu, allow me to arrange for the driver to take you home.”

Tong Jiayin, displeased with Gu Yang’s apparent disregard, interrupted sharply, “Hold on! Gu Yang, what are you doing here in my house?”

“Ask your butler,” Gu Yang replied casually, maintaining her obligation to keep the patient’s confidentiality.

Without breaking stride, she declined the butler’s offer and stated firmly, “No need. My boyfriend is on his way to pick me up.”

Tong Jiayin, displeased but wary of taking action against Gu Yang, turned to the housekeeper and inquired, “Butler, why did you invite her to our house?”

The butler simply responded, “It was the Family Head’s decision.”

Tong Jiayin’s heart sank.

So it was her mother’s idea!

Her mother had invited Gu Yang to the Tong family without any apparent reason. Did she suspect Gu Yang’s true identity and intend to acknowledge her as an illegitimate daughter?

Her mother had always been astute and formidable. Could she have uncovered her father’s affair and realized that Tong Jiayin and her brother were not biologically hers?

Was this why she sought her only biological descendants?

Indeed, how could her father, who relied on another woman, compare to her powerful mother, the head of the Tong family?

The woman claiming to be her biological mother seemed even more unsuitable.
