After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 550: Offending the Most Mysterious Nan Family Member
“Whether it’s possible or not isn’t for you to say; it’s for our blood relationship to determine,” Jiang Mengyu said disdainfully.
Before Wen Meiling could respond, the plump family member who spoke previously stared at Nan Mengyu for a while, then suddenly said, “You know, now that you mention it, I see it—your nose and facial shape do resemble Vice Commander Cheng quite a bit.”
“Really, I see it too. Vice Commander Cheng has a kind of subtle beauty; if he were to dress as a woman, he would actually resemble Mrs. Jiang somewhat.”
“Really quite similar—”
Just as all the family members were internally convinced that Jiang Mengyu was the illegitimate daughter of the Cheng Family, Nan Mengyu suddenly spoke up, “It’s perfectly normal for blood cousins to bear some resemblance to each other.”
Suddenly, Jiang Mengyu no longer felt the need to hide it.
Most importantly, after being scolded as a vixen by Wen Meiling and accused of seducing Cheng Jiuhe, she suddenly felt that there was no need to hide her Nan Family background.
Because the culprit behind the scenes already knew about this, whether she made her relationship public or not, they kept sending people to destroy her.
If she continued to hide her identity, her adversaries would only become more brazen in sending people after her. On the contrary, by revealing her identity, they might be cautious about her status.
Moreover, she had now reached Foundation Establishment and was fully capable of protecting herself. Why should she continue to skulk in the shadows?
What, not an illegitimate daughter, but a cousin?
The other family members felt somewhat embarrassed for their earlier misconception, but Wen Meiling was utterly shocked.
Cheng Jiuhe’s cousin?
Cheng Jiuhe’s cousin would either be the child of his father’s sister or his mother’s sister.
But since Cheng Jiuhe’s father had only brothers and no sisters, that left the children of Cheng Jiuhe’s mother’s siblings.
Given the strained relationship between Cheng Jiuhe and his stepmother, he would definitely not acknowledge the children of his stepmother’s siblings as cousins. That left only one possibility: Jiang Mengyu was the child of Cheng Jiuhe’s biological mother’s siblings!
And Cheng Jiuhe’s biological mother came from the Nan Family!
Which meant, Jiang Mengyu was very likely a member of the Nan Family, or possibly the Nan Family’s niece!
“Which cousin of Cheng Jiuhe are you?”
Nan Mengyu chuckled lightly and said, “You should know that my brother doesn’t get along with his stepmother and wouldn’t associate with the children from her siblings’ families. So naturally, I come from my brother’s biological mother’s side.”
Wen Meiling’s face turned deathly pale—she had actually offended a member of the Nan Family, the most mysterious among them all!
She had always thought that in this family compound, nobody had a status higher than hers and had always looked down on the other family members.
Therefore, when Ye Rushui from Beijing arrived at the family compound, she had immediately cozied up to her.
Hearing that Ye Rushui was only claiming to be Gu Dongxing’s girlfriend, she even helped her move into a house Gu Dongxing had arranged for the convenience of his mother and sister’s visits.
She genuinely hoped Ye Rushui would marry Gu Dongxing, so that she would have someone to socialize with in the future, rather than having to mingle with those she deemed “low-class” in her eyes.
In her view, even the family members from the city were just small-town folks, unworthy of speaking with someone of her noble origins, let alone those rural bumpkins.
When Jiang Mengyu first appeared, knowing she was a wild servant girl who grew up in the countryside, and especially after learning from Vice Captain Yan that her engagement with Gu Dongxing was fake, she naturally looked down on her. She even helped Ye Rushui target Jiang Mengyu at every turn.
Even after Gu Dongxing announced that his relationship with her was genuine, she still did not take Jiang Mengyu seriously.
That was also why, when she heard over the phone that Jiang Mengyu was looking for Gu Dongxing and couldn’t find him so she sought Cheng Jiuhe instead, she dared to flagrantly lie and say that Cheng Jiuhe was not at the base.
But who could tell her that this wild girl from the countryside that she scorned, could actually be a member of the Nan Family, which was even more mysterious than the Ten Great Families?
