Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1085: It Feels a Bit Like Dreaming

Moreover, the young maid herself said,

she had to run away because her parents wanted to sell her to a fool as a wife, even feeding her medicine, trying to make her marry the fool.

So, she had no choice but to seek her sister’s help and secretly leave home, thinking that by escaping to a distant place like North City, her parents wouldn’t find her.

Xu Chunxia pressed her lips tightly and said nothing. Her expression gradually shifted from shock to acceptance, her lips quivered, and after a while, she asked hesitantly, "Ma... Madam, are... are you really not lying to me? Are you sure I’m your daughter?"

Her heart was filled with both tension and uncontrollable joy.

Fang Su nodded: "Mom is certain and sure."

Tears fell, and Fang Su pretended to be a loving mother, her gaze filled with pity. She gently stroked Xu Chunxia’s face: "Perhaps it’s hard for you to accept at the moment, but that’s okay. Mom will give you time until you figure everything out, and it won’t be too late to call me mom then."

Just like that, Fang Su claimed a daughter for herself, intending to mix truth with falsehood, looking forward to receiving double compensation in the future.

After all, that stack of US Dollars that Lawyer Wang gave her casually, she roughly estimated, could be exchanged for about ten thousand yuan.

It’s evident that person is living quite well abroad.

Moreover, the Jiang Family was originally one of the top households in North City.

And for that person to run abroad with Old Master Jiang, they must have taken a large part of the assets. As for what couldn’t be taken, it probably was all claimed by the country.

Thinking this way, Fang Su casually sent Xu Chunxia away, secretly concocting lies again to ensure that in front of Old Master Feng, Xu Chunxia’s "daughter" status became legitimate.

Perhaps it was her lie that was too perfectly crafted, or perhaps Old Master Feng cherished this "young wife", in any case, Old Master Feng accepted without hesitation that he had another stepdaughter, accepting that the young maid in the family was the unfortunate daughter of his second-wife who had been lost outside in early years.

And he demanded that his two sons, Feng Wei and Feng Kai, treat their stepsister kindly.

The Feng Wei brothers nodded, verbally agreeing, "We will," while internally feeling that their father must be muddled, believing whatever this woman Fang Su says without considering the possibility of being deceived.

However, this so-called stepsister didn’t have much impact on them, and since the old master wasn’t worried about being deceived, they wouldn’t bother arguing with a young maid about it.

Thus, after dinner, the family went about their usual affairs. When they saw Xu Chunxia, at most they nodded in greeting, without any extra words.

Well, to be precise, neither Feng Wei nor Feng Kai, nor their wives or children intended to converse with Xu Chunxia.

Because in this family, even towards Fang Su as the stepmother, the brothers’ attitude remained indifferent.

Following their lead, their wives and children naturally stood on the same side as their husbands (fathers), treating Fang Su with politeness but not closeness.

In four words—lukewarm!

Again, being treated indifferently and as if she were air by those who were originally the homeowner, now her stepbrothers, Xu Chunxia felt it was no big deal.

She even thought this was far better than how Xu Chunwang and Xu Chunlai treated her.

At least... at least she wouldn’t get beaten or starve because of them!

Unable to sleep from tossing and turning, Xu Chunxia simply sat up and gazed at the night outside the window, her facial expression slowly turning cold...
