Chapter 64: Truly Calculating

With no other path, the original owner had no choice but to marry the man who ruined her reputation, harming not only herself but also bringing disaster upon her parents and sisters.

The second branch was thus split off; her older sister was constantly bullied by her in-laws, but fortunately her brother-in-law was a good man who never gave up on her despite the hardships. As for the younger sister, with a notorious second sister, how could she find a good family? In the end, she married a divorced man who was violent whenever he drank, and she met a terrible fate.

Her parents, already mocked for having no heirs, suffered further humiliation from this disgraceful incident. Burdened by grief, they both passed away within a few years.

The male lead in the book is Hearing Liu Jiandong, the female lead is Ding Surong. Damn, she finally understood why Hearing Liu Jiandong was able to gain such rapid promotion in the book, and why the Liu family suddenly rose to become people of high status. It was all because of this.

She had been wondering: after the second son of the Liu family passed away in the book, the other branches of the Liu family found it inauspicious and didn't even visit to pay their respects. So why did the old Liu head later force the eldest branch to adopt the second son to the second branch?

Recalling the conversation she overheard between the elderly couple of the Liu family that night, it all made sense now. They were truly calculating.

As for the scumbag's family and the eldest branch of the Liu family, who had conspired to frame the original owner, they also held leverage and naturally reaped many benefits, living a flourishing life.

However, she had only skimmed through that book because it made her angry, so she only knew that the Liu family had met a benefactor, but not the specific details.

Now it seemed likely that the biological parents of her adoptive father had come looking, which led to the Liu family's rise to prosperity. Otherwise, how could the old Liu head have allowed his grandson to be adopted?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. No, she absolutely could not let those dogs continue to roam free. Though she couldn't kill them outright, she could make their lives a living hell.

How innocent, how pitiful, how tragic was the original owner's family in the book?

After a few deep breaths, she calmed her mind.

Since she had become the original owner, she would definitely protect the second branch, lead them to a good life, and make those who had bullied them regret it bitterly.

Having figured it out, she walked quickly toward the bus stop. Just then, the jeep speeding past earlier turned back and stopped right in front of her. The window rolled down: "Comrade Liu, where are you rushing off to?"

Seeing Kong Yizhang sitting in the car, Liu Chuxue said, "Hello, Comrade Kong."

Kong Yizhang, seeing that she hadn't answered his question, asked, "Did something difficult happen?"

Liu Chuxue hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no. I'm just going out to handle some matters. I was afraid of missing the bus, so I walked a bit faster."

Remembering that injured comrade, she added, "By the way, how is that comrade doing?"

Kong Yizhang smiled and said, "He has already recovered from danger. He even said that once he can get out of bed, he will come personally to thank you."

Liu Chuxue quickly waved her hands again, saying, "No need, no need. When something like this happens, one naturally cannot ignore it. Besides, you helped me before, so let's call it even."

Kong Yizhang didn't expect such a reaction from Liu Chuxue. "Alright, let's not talk about that. Your reward should be approved in the next few days. I'll bring it to you then along with everything else."

Liu Chuxue thought of something and asked, "Comrade Kong, could I trouble you with a favor?"

Kong Yizhang became interested. "Go ahead."

Though it was somewhat presumptuous, there was no time to worry about that now. "Could you send an official letter to the village in the name of the public? Don't mention the specific details, just say that we helped you, and issue a certificate of honor or something similar."

Originally, she had thought of declining the reward, but considering her family's current situation, only by accepting this reward could she use it later as a shield for herself.
