Bai Xiaoya and Wang Xiaoyuan also followed them out.
They were very curious about Chu Youwei, who was widely mentioned online as âAn Nuonuo II,â âAn Nuonuo clone,â and âAn Nuonuoâs budget version.â
Outside the villa, at the front gate, stood a girl wearing a mask, revealing only a pair of clear, sparkling eyes.
She was dressed in a pale blue long dress with a pair of white sneakers on her feet.
From a distance, the whole person seemed like a white rose blooming in spring, pure and delicate.
The gate opened.
An Nuonuo and the others walked out.
The girlâs eyes sparkled as she walked towards them, and she took off her mask, exclaiming crisply, âHello⦠I am Chu Youwei.â
âYo?â Wang Xiaoyuan whistled like a tomboy, checking out Chu Youwei from head to toe, âYour voice is so soft, you look like youâd be easy to bully.â
Bai Xiaoya said irritably, âDonât frighten her,â then turned to Chu Youwei with a smile, âHello there, Iâm Bai Xiaoya, this one with a âtinyâ temper is Wang Xiaoyuan, and you already know An Nuonuo.â
Wang Xiaoyuan was furious, âWhat nonsense are you spouting, what about me is small?â
Bai Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, âYou might want to compare yourself to those middle school girls, I bet you wouldnât win.â
Wang Xiaoyuan: â!!!â
Chu Youwei shrank her neck.
She always felt⦠the atmosphere was a bit strange.
An Nuonuo was holding Chu Youweiâs hand, smiling sweetly, âSister, you are so pretty~â
Chu Youwei looked at An Nuonuo.
The first time she saw An Nuonuo online, she felt an inexplicable fondness for this girl.
At that time, she had wanted to meet her in person.
Now that she had met her in real life, she immediately felt a strong sense of kinship.
âSister,â An Nuonuo tilted her head slightly, sounding puzzled, âeven though this is the first time weâve met, I feel a strong connection to you.â
âMe too,â Chu Youweiâs eyes lit up as she held An Nuonuoâs small hand.
âDonât sayâ¦â Bai Xiaoya sized up the two, âYou two do look quite similar.â
âRight,â Wang Xiaoyuan also noticed, âItâs not just the appearance, thereâs a similar vibe too. Could you two be related by blood?â
âThat⦠seems unlikely,â An Nuonuo hesitated, âMy mother only had one daughter, and she wouldnât abandon a child.â
Chu Youwei seemed to think of something but then held back.
âSister Chu, itâs very hot outside, letâs go inside and talk.â
âSure, sorry to intrude.â
âNo problem at all.â
The girls chattered as they returned indoors.
Jiang Xu stood up to greet her, âHello, Miss Chu.â
âAh⦠Mr. Jiang⦠hello,â Chu Youwei was clearly a bit nervous when she saw Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu smiled and said, âMake yourself at home, just sit anywhere you like.â
âOkay, thank you~â
Chu Youwei sat down, legs together, and hands placed on her lap, very ladylike yet somewhat reserved.
Jiang Xu observed Chu Youwei.
To his eyes, she seemed like a clean and innocent girl, somewhat shy.
Her expressions and movements didnât seem to be a disguise.
After all, with Jiang Xuâs current discernment, it wouldnât be easy to deceive him.
âHuh?â Jiang Xu suddenly let out a light exclamation, âMiss Chu, you do indeed look quite similar to Nuonuo.â
Chu Youwei wasnât wearing makeup; she was barefaced.
In Jiang Xuâs opinion, there was about an 80% resemblance between the two.
Generally, only people with a blood relation would resemble each other so closely.
âI also feel thereâs something different about Sister Chu.â An Nuonuoâs expression became solemn, âEven though it was our first meeting, I inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.â
As everyone said the same, Chu Youwei also began to doubt.
âWell, why not invite your uncle and aunt over?â Jiang Xu suggested.
âOkay.â An Nuonuo stood up, âIâll go call my parents over, Sister Chu, please wait.â
Chu Youwei nodded, âOkay~â
As soon as An Nuonuo left, Chu Youwei became even less inclined to speak.
From this point of view, she was very much like An Nuonuo, both socially anxious.
Jiang Xu, with a gentle smile, asked, âMiss Chu, may I ask how many people are in your family now?â
âIâve grown up in an orphanage since I was a child,â Chu Youwei said, head lowered, her expression slightly downcast:
âThe reason I participated in the competition is that the orphanage is going to be demolished, and to give those children a home, Iâ¦â
Wang Xiaoyuanâs eyes reddened, âThatâs so moving.â
Bai Xiaoya, however, was not so naive and asked which orphanage she was from.
âShanshui Orphanage in Qingcheng, located in Wu Districtâ¦â
âOh, Iâve heard of Wu District, itâs quite remoteâ¦â
While speaking, Bai Xiaoya subtly took out her phone and did a search.
Then she gave Jiang Xu a barely noticeable nod.
A few minutes later, An Feng and Li Yuanjuan came over.
At the sight of Chu Youwei, they were instantly stunned.
The two exchanged a look, both with a gravity setting over their faces.
âUncle, Auntie, hello.â Chu Youwei stood up, rather nervous.
Li Yuanjuan revealed a smile, walked forward, and took Chu Youweiâs hand, âYouâre very pretty, my girl. May I ask your age?â
Chu Youwei, âAuntie, Iâm twenty-three this year.â
An Feng frowned, âThree years younger than Nuonuo, thatâs too coincidental.â
Wang Xiaoyuan said in shock, âYou donât say, Uncle? Could Chu Youwei really be another daughter of you and Auntie?â
Both An Nuonuo and Chu Youwei felt a tightness in their chests.
âNo, no, no.â An Feng shook his head, âI only have one daughter, but my older brother had a daughter, who is Nuonuoâs cousin, exactly three years older than her.
However, at that time my brother and sister-in-law favored boys over girls and sold their daughter.
If we consider the age and appearance, the possibility that Miss Chu is Nuonuoâs cousin is quite high.â
This revelation touched everyone present.
Chu Youweiâs eyes brimmed with tears.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didnât know how to start.
An Nuonuo quickly hugged her, gently patting her back.
Mr. Jiang spoke in a deep voice, âGuessing here is useless, letâs do a blood relationship test.â
âYes, yes, yes.â Li Yuanjuan nodded, âMiss Chu, could you trouble you for a strand of hair? Iâll go get my brother and sister-in-lawâs hair and conduct a paternity test.â
After thinking for a while, Chu Youwei bit her lip and gave a slight nod, cutting off a strand of her hair.
Li Yuanjuan took the hair and left with An Feng in a hurry.
Jiang Xu invited Chu Youwei to stay for a meal.
Normally, a paternity test would take three to five days, or even a week.
But with enough money, the results could be available in a few hours.
So let her stay, and wait for the results here.
âThank you all,â Chu Youwei bowed deeply to everyone, her eyes red, âI⦠I donât know how to thank you all. If you donât mind, I would like to cook a meal for you.â
