The outdoor weather in May was neither too hot nor too cool.
The girl walked out of the mall and sat in the back seat of the car parked at the entrance.
The man in the front driver’s seat turned to look at her, his eyes lighting up:
“Miss Bai Xia, this outfit suits you very well!”
The man was another butler of the Bai Family, known as Li Butler in Old Zhang’s words.
Over the years, because Old Zhang served the eldest young lady, while he had no backing, Li Butler’s position in the Bai Family had always been awkward.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, he recently discovered something at City Hospital.
It turned out that when Madam gave birth, another Bai family happened to have a daughter in the hospital at the same time, and a nurse accidentally switched the two babies.
In other words, the one at home was fake, and the real Bai Family Miss had been lost outside.
Li Butler was ecstatic, and his intuition told him that his chance to rise had come, so he continued investigating.
Eighteen years ago, two Bai families gave birth at the city’s best hospital, but after eighteen years, the fates of the two families went in completely opposite directions.
This Bai Family gradually established themselves in the city after doing business for a few years, later acquiring a share of their hometown’s assets and support, making their business bigger and bigger.
But the other Bai family, who were originally well-off, encountered some unknown misfortune, possibly a business failure, leading to their downfall.
Trying to recover, they instead fell into debt, and in the end, nothing but ruin remained.
A few years ago, the male head of that family was injured in a debt dispute and later died; not long after, his wife also passed away from illness, leaving only Miss Bai to survive alone.
Li Butler went to great lengths to find the address and walked into the chaotic Underground Street.
Everywhere there were heavy-makeup street girls, shirtless thugs with tattoos covering most of their bodies, and not far away, a blood-stained fruit knife lay in a corner.
Along the way, seeing these “brilliant stars,” Li Butler’s mood was tense, especially when he found the address and knocked on the door—his tension turned into worry.
Would a delinquent girl come out?
But unexpectedly, standing behind the door was a serene, long-haired black-haired girl, completely out of place with her surroundings, like an angel who had accidentally fallen into hell.
Li Butler explained his purpose, saying he had come specifically about her birth, but the situation was complicated and couldn’t be explained in a moment.
The black-haired girl nodded politely and spoke softly, “Sir, would you like some tea?”
Then, in this shabby little room of less than 30 square meters, Li Butler told her what had happened in the hospital eighteen years ago.
Throughout, the girl listened quietly, only showing a hint of shock in her eyes when he finished.
“You mean, I was switched at birth?”
“That’s right,” Li Butler’s face was full of joy, “We’ve finally found you, Miss Bai Xia!”
There was nothing to linger for in this home—she couldn’t even pack a backpack’s worth of belongings.
Li Butler took the girl out of Underground Street, bought her new clothes at the mall, then got into the car, preparing to head to the Bai Family.
On the way, Li Butler couldn’t help but look at her through the rearview mirror, growing more satisfied the more he saw.
Bai Xia already looked like a gentle and beautiful girl, and now, dressed in finer clothes, the handmade knitted sweater revealed her slender and graceful figure.
Look at this temperament—a true lady!
Completely different from the fake, big-breasted, brainless imposter of the Bai Family!
“By the way, Miss Bai Xia, there’s something I should remind you of. The other Miss who was switched at birth, the one in the Bai Family, was spoiled growing up, so her personality might be a bit… But don’t worry, you are the true blood of Sir and Madam—blood is thicker than water.”
Li Butler said.
He was worried that Bai Xia would be bullied by the fake, big-breasted, brainless imposter in the Bai Family, so he gave her a warning in advance, hoping she’d be cautious.
The girl, gazing out the window, turned her head and let a faint smile return to her lips.
“Mm, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Li.”
But Li Butler forgot that Bai Xia had lived alone for years in the dangerous Underground Street.
***
Bai Family courtyard, Dining Room.
Bai Xiaoya quickly glanced at the light screen.
[First Movement: The True and False Heiresses, the Struggle for Legitimacy.]
On this day, you enjoyed the life of a rich heiress and couldn’t help sighing that this was truly living.
But the good times didn’t last.
You soon learned you were a fake—and the real heiress was about to return.
Absolutely intolerable!
Mission Requirement: Before the Labor Day Holiday ends, perform at least one villainous heiress act toward her, including but not limited to humiliation, bullying, verbal attack, etc.
The reward depends on completion, with the minimum standard being to cause an emotional fluctuation in the other party.
It’s here—it’s here! The first job content has arrived!
As for things like a change in lineage, Bai Xiaoya didn’t care much, after all, she had only just arrived today.
She turned to look at Zhang Butler, who was making a throat-slashing gesture, and blinked:
“So, you want me to knife her?”
Zhang Butler froze.
“N-no, Miss.”
“Then why are you doing that and saying stuff like ‘those who aren’t ruthless can’t stand firm’? You’re making it sound murderous,”
Bai Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him.
“All right, I get it.”
Zhang Butler stumbled away, feeling that today’s Miss was very different—her aura was overwhelming.
Earlier, hearing Miss’s views on breakfast, he thought that, upon learning the true heiress was returning, Miss planned to build a frugal image to impress Sir and Madam.
But now he realized Miss’s usual naïve and charming persona was just an act?
At the other end of the Dining Room, Bai Xiaoya finished breakfast, wiped her mouth slowly, her eyes wandering as if lost in thought.
Zhang Butler could never have imagined that Miss wasn’t thinking of any ‘character building’ at all, but was racking her brain for every venomous phrase she’d ever heard, full of sarcasm and barbs.
Verbal humiliation and bullying weren’t difficult, but whether it would meet the minimum requirement depended on the person.
Simply put, it had to target what the other party cared about.
So, what would the real Miss Bai care about?
Emmmmmm…
Bai Xiaoya “hmmmmm” for a long time, but couldn’t come up with a good idea.
Just then, the sound of a car stopping came from outside the window.
Bzzz bzzz bzzz—the phone on the table vibrated.
A message from the contact “Old Zhang” appeared—
[Miss, she’s here!]
She’s here.
Bai Xiaoya stood up and went to the balcony, leaning on the railing, looking down.
A petite, black-haired figure was walking this way, stepping into her blind spot of view—blocked by her own chest.
Below, on her way to the door, Bai Xia seemed to sense someone watching and looked up—only to see a pair of big white rabbits sprawled over the railing, staring at her.
“?”
