**********************************

When Li Shuning was eighteen, she got engaged and had a fiancé.

That man was naturally very capable, and the Chu Family was also very influential in the business world.

The Chu Family and the Li Family were family friends, and their strong alliance was evidently beneficial.

Li Shuning and Chu Tao had known each other since childhood and grew up together; both were smart and got along quite well.

They both had a mutual understanding to cultivate common interests so that after marriage, they could get along harmoniously.

Li Shuning was very beautiful.

Perhaps because of her medical studies, she always appeared warm in interactions, but there was always a hint of aloofness.

This very demeanor made her even more beautiful.

When Li Shuning was twenty, her sister, who had been missing for twenty years, was finally found.

After Li Xiangning graduated from high school, her family didn’t allow her to continue studying and wanted her to marry.

Li Xiangning always knew she was an adopted child and was taken in because her adoptive parents were childless.

Because she wore a bracelet with her name on it, she retained the name Li Xiangning.

When she was ten, her adoptive mother unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, marking the start of Li Xiangning’s painful days.

All the household chores became Li Xiangning’s responsibility.

Even though she was a twin, Li Xiangning was simple-minded but physically robust, with a lot of brute strength, and she struggled academically.

She excelled in sports, and as a sports talent student, she could have gone to college.

However, her adoptive parents decided she should marry instead, to provide a better environment for their own child, and they prevented her from continuing her education.

Having long endured such a life, Li Xiangning, upon learning she was to marry a widower, secretly ran away from home and ended up in Wencheng after a roundabout journey.

She found a job as a delivery runner. During the hot summer, after prolonged exposure to the sun, she suffered from heatstroke.

A kind person took her to the hospital.

Coincidentally, it was the hospital where Li Zhu worked.

By chance, Li Zhu, while inspecting work, passed by the registration hall and saw Li Xiangning slumped on a waiting chair.

At that moment, Li Zhu’s heart skipped a beat.

But he didn’t dare to confirm whether this child was the one they had lost twenty years ago.

In the early years, some ill-intentioned people would bring children who slightly resembled Li Shuning, claiming they were the lost child. But the Li Family couldn’t be easily deceived.

All such hopeful attempts were shattered, and no one dared to try again.

The girl before him, though darker-skinned and not as beautiful as Li Shuning, with just ordinary looks, had a face, lips, nose, and facial contour strikingly similar to Jiang Xiaodie.

Li Zhu pondered for a while and quietly called someone over.

Soon, Li Xiangning was taken for treatment.

Heatstroke, if handled properly, can be quickly alleviated.

However, the doctor was enthusiastic, suggesting a health check in such hot weather to avoid complications.

Li Xiangning, short of money, was reluctant to undergo further tests.

The doctor, knowing it was a direct order from the director, insisted on a free checkup.

Li Xiangning agreed since it was free, figuring she was young and didn’t want any health issues.

During the checkup, screening for specific things was naturally easy.

It just required some time for the test results.

Then a nurse took Li Xiangning to eat.

Li Xiangning marveled at how great big cities were, with many kind people.

After eating, the nurse took her to rest.

Soon, the report was ready.

Li Xiangning was naturally taken back to the Li Family.

Entering the Li Family’s grand villa, Li Xiangning could hardly believe her eyes at its beauty.

After learning everything, Li Xiangning couldn’t help but be astonished.

Seeing Li Shuning, she inexplicably felt somewhat inadequate.

She even secretly harbored a hint of jealousy.

Clearly, they were twins, so why was there such a big gap between them?

Finding Li Xiangning allowed investigations into all past matters to continue.

Soon it was discovered that those involved were caught, and from them, more details emerged—after losing their child, they planned to snatch one from the hospital.

But after snatching the child, they panicked as the whole Wencheng was on lockdown. Even though they wore masks, with the child in tow, they were afraid of being caught.

They took the child through remote areas and mountain paths.

After seven or eight days, exhausted and scared, they snuck the child into a village near a small town and left her there.

Years later, though many things were hard to trace, a hydroelectric station near the village had surveillance cameras.

Thus, the couple’s faces were captured.

With photos, finding the couple was easy.

The couple was captured in their hometown.

The Li Family, having some influence, ensured the couple did not meet a good end.

For this lost child, Jiang Xiaodie unleashed the deep-seated motherly love she had suppressed for so long, doting on Li Xiangning every moment.

But Li Xiangning was not Li Shuning, and soon, her demeanor began to change.

She believed all the suffering she endured over the years was the Li Family’s fault, and her mother’s love meant that no matter what she did wrong, she was worthy of forgiveness.

Li Xiangning was sent to school, yet she continued to make mistakes.

Li Shuning was also very fond of her younger sister. As an excellent sister, naturally, she helped her sister clean up the messes.

No matter what wrongs Li Xiangning committed, Li Shuning always smiled and never blamed her.

When Li Xiangning saw her future brother-in-law, her resentment deepened.

During her year with the Li Family, her hatred for Li Shuning grew stronger.

Why was it that despite being twins, Li Shuning lived a life like a princess while she suffered endlessly?

Li Shuning was dazzling in public, and she was like an ugly duckling.

Her sister had such an outstanding fiancé, and what did she have?

She wasn’t as beautiful, as smart, as socially adept as her sister, and she didn’t have a fiancé.

Why did her sister get all the good things?

Chu Tao, aware of his fiancée’s sister, felt some sympathy for this pitiful girl. Naturally, as his fiancée’s sister, he was quite gentle with Li Xiangning.

But Li Xiangning felt that her brother-in-law should treat her differently.

Perhaps his own fiancée was too dazzling, causing aesthetic fatigue.

Faced with Li Xiangning’s occasional pouting and sometimes rude behavior, peculiar emotions stirred within him.
