I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 345: Chapter 303: He Has Arrived

"Jiang Zhenzhu, I know who Mr. Fu is."

Jiang Zhenzhu’s face changed, surprise flickered for a moment, but she tried her best to hide her emotions, not knowing that Jiang Mingyue knew just by accessing her memory.

"It’s the fifth one from the Jiang Family! You still don’t know his identity by now? Tsk tsk tsk, your intelligence, clearly you have met him. And didn’t you reveal Xue Hong’s background to Mr. Fu, then the Jiang Family exposed Xue Hong’s background. Don’t you suspect anything?"

The implication is, you’re too dumb, such obvious evidence, how can you be so dense?

Jiang Zhenzhu’s face became increasingly unsightly, she wanted to retort several times but never got the chance, Jiang Mingyue was simply poisonous.

"Oh, you probably haven’t figured it out yet, do you know why you stumbled this time? Exactly! Someone wants you to look bad, after all, you acted on the first day, so it’s not excessive for someone else to act on the fifteenth."

Jiang Zhenzhu’s lips started trembling, "You, what do you mean?"

Jiang Mingyue: "Fool! How can such a good thing exist in the world, exposing someone’s awkward identity, can they still want face? I dare say, this time it’s only Xue Hong, next time it might be Mrs. Xue, Mr. Xue, or Mr. Xue, just wait, so people like you who think too highly of themselves should suffer a bit."

Jiang Mingyue: "I gave you such big news, you should give me some in return, otherwise, don’t expect to know anything else."

The implication being I know many other things, but you have to exchange it with information, otherwise, no way!

Jiang Zhenzhu took a long time to digest this news, she hadn’t suspected before, but now there were doubts everywhere, partly her own negligence, turns out ever since Ning Yan’s friend, they were setting a trap for them.

Jiang Zhenzhu was shocked, also angry, but now her fighting spirit was stronger than before, she must find Xue Hong to seek revenge, of course, Jiang Mingyue will always be her arch-enemy, this will not change, her existence will always be a thorn in her heart, but it does not prevent them from temporarily exchanging interests.

After Jiang Zhenzhu figured it out, she said: "You better keep your word, exchange information with me later."

Jiang Mingyue: "Of course!"

Jiang Zhenzhu: "Do you know why I’ve always targeted you?"

Jiang Mingyue smirked: "Isn’t it obvious? You hate me for taking your identity, and you hate that my brilliance makes you pale in comparison."

Jiang Zhenzhu: "...I admit, there is such a reason, but initially, I didn’t know I wasn’t Dad’s child, I hated you to death, especially you wearing dresses, looking superior, while I’ve been working long and hard, my skin is tanned dark, standing in front of you, I am the ugly duckling, I just thought, if you hadn’t taken my identity, the white swan would be me, and the ugly duckling would be you.

Later, you gained the favor of the eldest cousin, while I grew up with him, he never even glanced at me more than once, and with the brothers and sisters of the third house, I grew up with them, but after I left, they didn’t care at all, in fact, you who returned midway earned all their hearts, I heard even the villagers of Qingshan Village are proud of you. I’m not convinced, clearly, I’m smarter than you, clearly in the countryside, without anyone’s support, I still finished high school, got a diploma, it’s just the conditions didn’t allow, otherwise, I would definitely still be a university student.

All of this was earned by my own efforts, unlike you, where everything was handed to you by your parents, and as for the second brother, he always gave me the cold shoulder, but was sincere to you.

All this made me envious."

Jiang Mingyue: "You must be sick! Isn’t it better to live your own life well? Why always compare yourself with another person, aren’t you tired?"

Jiang Zhenzhu: "Easy for you to say, being in my position, even if I don’t compare myself to you, there are people who will compare me to you, I have no choice."

Jiang Mingyue: "Stop making excuses for yourself! Also, even though you were born in the countryside, you still got the support from your family, don’t say you didn’t, it’s useless to not admit it, Dad’s pension is ten yuan a month, Mom gave it all to you, that’s one hundred and twenty yuan a year, enough for five people to study, but you used it all up yourself, how dare you claim you didn’t take advantage?

When I first arrived, the clothes of the eldest, second brother, and third sister were patched upon patches, almost like beggars, but did you have any? None of your clothes had patches, Mom feared you’d be laughed at when you went out, so she made you two sets of clothes every year, one for spring and summer, another for autumn and winter, how can you say you didn’t take advantage? All the resources of the third house were tilted to you alone, yet you still had the nerve to steal the life-saving money of the eldest brother before you left, fortunately met a kind-hearted person, otherwise, don’t expect to live comfortably."

Jiang Zhenzhu: "..." How does she know this so clearly? Shen Fanghua indeed is no good, who knows how she’s talked behind her back.

Jiang Mingyue: "Back to the point, from what you just said, is there another reason you’re targeting me?"

In fact, she didn’t even need to ask, because a certain memory of Jiang Zhenzhu floated to the forefront, and Jiang Mingyue saw it at a glance.

"Cui Xiaoxiao?"

Jiang Zhenzhu: "You guessed it as expected! Right before I was about to graduate, Cui Xiaoxiao found me, revealed my background, saying I was the real daughter of the Jiang Family, and you were the counterfeit."

Jiang Mingyue: "You just believed her offhand remark?"

Jiang Zhenzhu: "Of course, I believed, because from childhood to adulthood, more than one person said I don’t look like my family, not a single one, I had long suspected."

Jiang Mingyue: "And then?"

Jiang Zhenzhu: "Cui Xiaoxiao proposed cooperation, recognized my parentage, secretly planning and plotting for me, ensuring I firmly sit on the throne of the Jiang Family’s first daughter."

Jiang Mingyue: "Are you sure it wasn’t Grandma who told you?"

Jiang Zhenzhu: "... I, I’ve learned everything from Cui Xiaoxiao, she only made me more convinced that I am a lady from the city."

Jiang Mingyue glanced at Jiang Zhenzhu’s memory bank, alright, she knew all that she needed to know, there was no need to stay here any longer.

"Listen to the leader well, work hard, and strive to get out early. I’m leaving."

"You can’t leave, what about the exchange of information we agreed on?"

"Didn’t we already exchange?" Jiang Mingyue said, not even turning her head.

Cui Xiaoxiao? How could it be Cui Xiaoxiao.

In Jiang Zhenzhu’s memory bank, Cui Xiaoxiao is the planner behind the scenes, the biggest thing she planned was to make her slip into the river, did she want to drown her?

Oh! Wasn’t the original owner drowned at that time?

So, what exactly is this grudge and resentment?

In the memory, Cui Xiaoxiao is the cousin of Cui Mingshi, but the Cui Family was somehow, Cui Xiaoxiao was raised by the main family, while their biological daughter, the girl who raised geese, Cui Ying, was kept in the countryside.

The original owner used to like Cui Mingshi, and the two families had verbally agreed on an engagement.

However, the grown-up Cui Mingshi didn’t like the original owner, even disliked her, but didn’t openly break off the engagement, probably waiting and watching until Jiang Zhenzhu appeared, her fake heiress identity was exposed, although the Cui Family didn’t say anything, in both public and in private they say that the engagement was just a casual joke and couldn’t be taken seriously.

Listen to this, it’s more hurtful than breaking off an engagement, luckily it was her who came, for her, it’s something she was glad not to mention.

But speaking of that Cui Xiaoxiao, Jiang Mingyue genuinely couldn’t think of anything, the original owner’s connection with Cui Xiaoxiao was because of Cui Mingshi, causing the two to have interactions, but mostly it was the original owner trying to please Cui Xiaoxiao, while Cui Xiaoxiao mocked the original owner, laughed at her shamelessness, saying that her brother didn’t like her and the original owner still had the nerve to get close, thinking to be her sister-in-law, not looking in the mirror.

There’s nothing more, the friends she gave her heart to were just the Four Treasures of the Study, after all, heart for heart, Xiao Si and they treated the original owner with sincerity, and the original owner responded in kind.

Regarding this, Jiang Mingyue thought the original owner had good taste.

"Done?" At the door, Xie Yunhai leaned casually on the side, seeing her come out, he walked over.

"Hmm. Brother Xie, do you know someone named Cui Xiaoxiao?"

Xie Yunhai was startled, "No, why, is there a problem with her?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded, "Brother Xie, can you let Huang Mao help me check it out?"

"Alright! From now on, no need to ask, as long as it’s your matter, just say the word. Don’t be polite with your brother."

"Alright!"

"By the way, there’s news coming back, Xu Yong died in the Northwest. It’s said that several people had an internal strife over something, one of them hid a fruit knife, got hot-headed, and stabbed random people, injuring three, killing one, and it just so happened that the one who died was Xu Yong."

"Brother Xie, you should have told me just now." I could also give Jiang Zhenzhu this good news.

Xie Yunhai was also helpless: "I forgot, it wasn’t until you went in that I remembered Xu Yong seemed to be Jiang Zhenzhu’s biological father."

Spread hands!

"Is there really such a coincidence?"

"Coincidence often is intentional. It’s Jiang Cheng’s handiwork, wasn’t it said he was coming to Nanxi City seeking medicine? It’s said he got delayed by something and arrived at Yun Dian a week ago, and then he started to act, first Xu Yong lost his life, then Xu Ya who escaped to Yun Dian lost her job, I even thought Xu Yong’s case was a coincidence until Xu Ya was fired, and Jiang Cheng came to Yun Dian, then I didn’t think it was a coincidence.

Just as I have people on both sides, had them check it out, and really, as I suspected.

Xu Yong was Jiang Cheng’s handiwork, that man who caused harm was originally a death row inmate, but he had an old mother, Jiang Cheng promised to care for the old lady until the end, so the man just went for it, and I heard he was struggling for meritorious service, already had initial success.

And also Xu Ya, but regarding Xu Ya, Jiang Cheng didn’t even hide it, he directly met her needs and boldly declared war."

"Is he really this high-profile? Isn’t he afraid of being reported?"

"Jiang Cheng is adopted by a family with some influence, although his adoptive mother became a vegetative state, and his adoptive father died, but he has an uncle in power who is unmarried and treats him like his own son. He has backing, furthermore, Xu Yong’s matter was handled without any traces, and with Xu Ya’s reputation ruined, and Mr. Xu publishing a large announcement severing ties in the provincial newspaper, just one inquiry will show that Xu Ya can’t win in public opinion."

"Does Brother Xie think his real purpose in this trip is revenge?"
