Chapter 1779: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (22)

Goosebumps appeared on Xiao Ying’s arms.

This Liu Yiyi had been vicious since she was young. She was so bad that it made people’s hair stand on end.

Xiao Ying looked at the director and did not voice out her guess, only asking softly, “Then what happened?”

The director sighed. “Fate plays tricks on people. Later, a couple with a good family background came to adopt a child. They originally chose the obedient Liu’er, but on the day they came to adopt her, Liu’er had rashes all over her face, and had a high fever and cough. The couple even brought an old man with them. The old man said that Liu’er had weak Yang energy and asked them to choose another girl.”

A faint sneer appeared on Xiao Ying’s lips. “Did Liu Yiyi get chosen?”

The director nodded.

“After Liu Yiyi was chosen by that rich couple, I found out that Liu’er’s illness and rashes were all related to Liu Yiyi. I called that couple’s house and Liu Yiyi answered the call.”

“She called me biased and said that I wasn’t a good director.”

“I didn’t take her words to heart at that time, but not long after, there was a fire in the orphanage. Although no one was injured, the house was burned down.”

“At that time, we didn’t have any subsidies and the conditions were rather difficult. We could only send some children away.”

“At that time, Liu’er suggested leaving because she didn’t want to burden the orphanage, so I didn’t manage to keep her. Later on, according to what I know, Liu’er lived with a couple who wasn’t very well-to-do. Although the family conditions were difficult, the couple was hardworking and treated her very well.”

“Director, do you know Liu’er’s home address?”

He shook his head. “During the earthquake a few years ago, Liu’er and her family moved away. I don’t know where they went either.”

Xiao Ying pursed her lips. “What about the couple who adopted Liu Yiyi?”

“I heard that they passed away one after another.”

After leaving the orphanage, Xiao Ying sat in the car and could not help but look at Liu Yiyi and Liu’er’s photo.

In the photo, Liu’er looked a little yellowish and thin, probably caused by malnutrition all year round. However, on a closer look, Liu’er’s facial features were very exquisite and small, and she looked a little like the Duchess.

Liu’er had to be the real daughter of the Duke’s wife!

If only he could find Liu’er!

After staring at the photo for a while, Xiao Ying felt that Liu’er looked a little familiar.

She seemed to have seen that face somewhere before!

Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows tightly and tried to think about it, but she could not remember anything.

Her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Ying answered the call.

“Mei’er.”

Long Mei had gone to the island after Long Ming brought Xiao Ying back to the palace.

Xiao Ying had also told Long Mei two days ago that Long Ming had remembered everything.

“Sister-in-law, did you see the latest gossip?”

“What news?”

“Lou Lan is in love.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ying was not too surprised.

“I’ll go take a look.”

Xiao Ying hung up and opened the news website.

Indeed, Lou Lan’s public relationship had become the headlines.

Two days ago, the media had taken photos of Lou Lan and a tall man entering and exiting the hotel. The two of them were still hugging each other in the underground parking lot and were rather intimate.

After Long Ming and Lou Lan broke off their engagement, everyone was interested in Lou Lan’s love life.

When the photo of her being intimate with a mysterious man was taken, everyone started to make their guesses. Perhaps, Lou Lan really liked that man, so she announced to the public that she was in love, but the identity of the man was kept secret.

After Xiao Ying left the news website, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

The bespectacled who had accidentally bumped into Li Yuan.

It was Xiao Mai.

It was Xiao Ying who had helped her out and let her work under her.

The more Xiao Ying looked at her, the more she felt that she looked like that person.

…

That day, Xiao Ying returned with two bodyguards.

The next morning, Xiao Ying could not wait to go to Xiao Mai’s apartment.

She brought Xiao Mai breakfast.

Then, when Xiao Mai went to the kitchen, she secretly put the cup she had drunk into a transparent bag.

After getting the sample, Xiao Ying handed it to Long Ming.

Since the Duke’s wife was in the palace, it was easy for her to take her sample and test it against Xiao Mai’s DNA.

While waiting for the results, Xiao Ying was extremely nervous.

Thankfully, the results were no different from what she had imagined.

Liu Yiyi was really not the daughter of the Duke. But Xiao Mai was.

It was no wonder she would lay her hands on the Duke’s wife. She was not their flesh and blood, after all.

…

Soon, it was the weekend.

Liu Yiyi had been busy trying on gowns recently. She had heard from Lou Lan and Li Yuan that Xiao Ying had been dressed very eye-catchingly when her identity was announced by the Duke.

She naturally could not be worse than Xiao Ying.

She had to be the center of attention.

Once her identity was announced and she changed her name to Long, it would be too late even if the Duke found out about the truth.

Besides, she would not let them find out anything. Whoever dared to stop her would have to pay a price!

After Liu Yiyi finished trying on the gown, she received a call from Lou Lan.

“Yiyi, isn’t the banquet at the Duke’s palace?”

“Yes, my father said that he wanted to give me a special banquet, so he chose a seven-star hotel.” It was mainly because the Duke’s wife was not in the palace and the servants were gossipy. It would be bad if the VIPs found out anything.

“Your parents really value you!”

“Of course.”

…

That night.

Liu Yiyi took the Duke’s car and arrived at the hotel.

Tonight’s banquet was going to be like the previous banquet held by the Duke. When the Duke introduced her, she would come down from the spiral staircase and stun everyone.

It was perfect in Liu Yiyi’s imagination, but she was unhappy when she arrived at the banquet hall.

It was not the two-storey banquet hall she wanted. There was only one floor and the hall was not very big.

“Dad, did the servants book the wrong place?” Liu Yiyi hugged the Duke’s arm and whined.

The Duke’s mind was not on the banquet, so he naturally had not paid too much attention to it. He only wanted to go through the motions and announce Liu Yiyi’s identity to the public before sending her abroad so that he could bring his wife along to treat her illness.

“A banquet is just for show. There’s no need to be too extravagant.”

Liu Yiyi pouted. “But I heard that the banquet you held for Sister was quite big. When the guests come later, they will definitely laugh at me and say that you’re biased.”

The Duke frowned at Liu Yiyi. “Your mom is not in good health now and I’m very worried about her, but you only care about your face. Yiyi, you’ve disappointed me.”

When Liu Yiyi heard this, she hurriedly acted pitiful. “Dad, I haven’t been by your side since I was young. I didn’t learn any good rules. I thought that Dad wouldn’t despise me because of that, but now that you’re disappointed in me, I…”

The Duke hated it when Liu Yiyi said this. Once she said it, he felt extremely guilty. He was about to say something when a cold voice trailed over. “Does it mean you could be so heartless just because your parents weren’t by your side?”
