Good news, Nan Qiao found his parents.

The bad news is that her parents have already adopted a new daughter.

When Nan Qiao was three years old, she went to the park with her mother and accidentally got lost.

Later someone called the police and she was taken to the police station.

She waited there for a whole week, but no one came to claim her.

In recent times, no reports of missing children have been received.

She still remembers that she lived in a big villa and had three older brothers.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember the exact location of her home.

In the end, she had no choice but to be sent to an orphanage.

When the director's mother asked her what her name was, she was still young and could only say in a baby voice, "Nan Nan..."

So the dean's mother named her Nan Qiao.

As we grow older and technology becomes more advanced, the country has established a DNA bank.

Nan Qiao entered her DNA without hesitation, hoping to find her relatives.

Unexpectedly, she actually matched someone whose DNA was extremely similar to hers—her third brother.

Through her third brother, Nan Qiao finally found her parents. However, when she learned that her original name was Lan Xuxue, she felt lost.

Because such a nice name no longer belongs to her, but to another girl.

Today is her first day back at the Lan family.

Nan Qiao, wearing washed-out jeans and a rolled-up white T-shirt, stood timidly in front of the shoe cabinet at the entrance of the villa.

The spacious and heavy solid wooden shoe cabinet was filled with all kinds of shoes, but there was not a single pair that belonged to her.

Nan Qiao stared at the exquisite sandals in the shoe cabinet, some with bows, some inlaid with crystal diamonds, and a sense of inferiority welled up in her heart. She subconsciously hid the pair of sneakers on her feet, which had been brushed to the point of being full of frayed edges, behind her.

She noticed a pair of pink bunny-shaped slippers placed on top of the shoe cabinet. They were furry and very cute.

Was it meant for her? Should she pick it up and put it on?

At this moment, the third brother Lan Jingcheng seemed to see through her thoughts and casually threw her a pair of disposable shoe covers.

"Those are Xiaoxue's shoes. I forgot to buy you slippers. You can just use shoe covers for now." He said in a flat tone.

Nan Qiao was stunned for a moment, with a bitter feeling in her heart. She nodded obediently and put on the disposable shoe covers with swift hands and feet.

Following Lan Jingcheng to the Lan family hall, Nan Qiao's heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety.

She stepped into the hall and found that everything here became so unfamiliar.

Gone were the familiar furniture and decorations, replaced by a new and unfamiliar style.

The blue wind chime that once stood on the cabinet, one of her favorite items, has now been replaced by a photo of a strange girl with her parents and three brothers.

This photo seemed to tell her that time had changed everything and her position seemed to have been replaced.

The imagined long-awaited reunion did not happen, and Nan Qiao felt lost and lonely.

She sat silently on the sofa, and no one took the initiative to communicate or greet her.

Her family didn't seem interested in her return, or they didn't know how to face this relative they hadn't seen for many years.

Just then, the servant came to announce that dinner was ready, breaking the silence.

Nan Qiao's family members began to come down from upstairs one after another. Their expressions were different, but they all revealed a sense of indifference and alienation.

The first person to appear was her father Lan Zhiming. He was serious and sat at the head seat at the dining table with a solemn expression. His eyes were sharp and chilling.

Next came his mother Jiang Peishan, who was wearing a gorgeous silk dress, with a dignified and elegant face. She sat on Lan Zhiming's left with a decent smile.

The eldest brother Lan Yuchen was wearing an exquisite suit. His eyes were as deep as the night, and there was no expression on his face. He sat quietly on Lan Zhiming's right.

Then there is the second brother Lan Hanwen. He looks handsome, but there is a subtle cunning in his eyes.

Finally, it was the third brother Lan Jingcheng’s turn. He maintained that uninhibited smile and walked to his seat and sat down.

Nan Qiao was brought by the servant to the empty seat next to Jiang Peishan.

"Where's Xiaoxue? Why hasn't she come down yet?" Jiang Peishan asked, her eyes full of doting.

"The young lady is still in the room, she's in a bad mood and doesn't want to come down." The servant replied with his head down.

Jiang Peishan sighed and nodded to indicate that she understood.

Then she looked at Nan Qiao, a perfect smile on her face, but her tone was slightly distant: "Your name is Nan Qiao? You must have suffered a lot over the years. It's true that I wasn't as well raised as Xiao Xue."

Nan Qiao felt that what she said made people uncomfortable, and the people at the table seemed to be looking at her with scrutiny. She bit her lip, said nothing, and just nodded slightly.

Lan Zhiming was very dissatisfied with her petty appearance and said impatiently, "Okay, no need to wait for Xiaoxue, let's start eating first."

Hearing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started picking up food. Nan Qiao also picked up the chopsticks carefully.

Jiang Peishan immediately frowned and said, "You should use serving chopsticks to pick up food, Nanqiao, this is basic courtesy."

Nan Qiao's body stiffened slightly. She slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand, then silently reached out to take the serving chopsticks in front of the plate.

Her expression seemed calm, but in fact she was full of tension and anxiety, even the hand holding the chopsticks was shaking unconsciously.

Although she showed no unusual emotions on the surface, her mood had been greatly affected.

She was originally starving, but now she lost her appetite and could not eat any more after just a few bites.

Although the food in the wealthy family is luxurious and exquisite, it does not suit Nan Qiao's taste.

She was more accustomed to simple and plain food, and this luxurious cuisine made her feel a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, a maid hurried downstairs and shouted anxiously, "Master and Madam, it's bad! The young lady cut her wrists in the bathtub!"

Hearing this, everyone at the table rushed upstairs in a hurry.

Nan Qiao also went upstairs, but couldn't squeeze into the room at all.

Not long after, Lan Yuchen came out of the room holding Lan Xuxue and hurried downstairs.

The whole family was terrified by the blood on Lan Xuxue's body. Jiang Peishan cried, "Xiaoxue, why did you do such a stupid thing? Mom promised you that you will only be her daughter. You must hold on."

Nan Qiao felt cold all over, but still wanted to go to the hospital, but was pushed to the ground by Lan Jingcheng.

Lan Jingcheng was furious. "It's all your fault. I shouldn't have brought you back. Xiaoxue wouldn't have done anything stupid!"

The Lan family drove to the hospital anxiously, leaving Nan Qiao standing alone in the cold villa.

Nan Qiao smiled bitterly. She didn't want such a family.
