Chapter 908: Tong Rao’s Past

Editor: Henyee Translations

Tong Rao, concerned about her public image, made a dignified statement. She declared that the Tong family could not tolerate lawbreakers, which is why she put righteousness before family, chasing the two children out and sending them to prison.

As a result, Tong Rao and the Tong family gained an excellent reputation online.

Many netizens sighed: “The Tong family is really different!”

However, the wealthy families in the capital felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

There was a lot of trouble in wealthy families. Which family did not have a few good-for-nothings who did evil? Which family was completely clean?

Wealthy families usually used money and power to settle these matters. They had never seen a family like the Tong family that could give up the heir just like that.

Unless the child was not her biological daughter.

At this moment, the news of Tong Rao going to the Gu family to acknowledge Gu Yang spread.

Coupled with the fact that Gu Yang and the Tong siblings were in their first year of university and were about the same age, gossipers in the industry began to guess that Tong Rao’s child had been swapped!

Tong Sinian and Tong Jiayin weren’t her biological children, but Gu Yang was! That was why she decisively gave up on those two children and said that she wanted to bring Gu Yang back to the Tong family to inherit the family business.

Tong Rao had also heard these guesses and did not step forward to clarify.

It was good that there was a misunderstanding.

It just so happened that she could cover up all the shameful things she felt.

Gu Yang’s birth was a humiliation to her. She had been forced by a man and got pregnant by accident. Due to her physical condition, she could not have an abortion. In the end, she had no choice but to give birth to the child.

That child had the other half of her lowly, dirty, and sinful blood flowing in her. She was not born to her expectations.

Therefore, when she was born and left her body, it was like removing a tumor.

She originally wanted to throw her to her death, but in the end, out of pity, she threw her into the trash can and let her fend for herself.

This was the most humiliating thing that had happened to her in the first half of her life.

Everyone involved in this matter, be it those who directly harmed her or those who indirectly harmed her, including her closest twin sister, Tong Wan, suffered her crazy revenge.

Especially the man who had humiliated her. He had died from the bite of the crocodiles.

Later on, she took over the power of the Tong family, and this humiliating past was completely erased by her. Until now, practically no one knew about it.

Even Zuo Yuanyi, Tong Sinian, and Tong Jiayin only vaguely knew that she had once given birth to an illegitimate daughter, but they were unaware of the exact time, place, person, and details of the incident.

In reality, that event had left an indelible shadow on her.

After losing that child, she focused on stabilizing her family’s status. She personally nurtured an heir and chose to have a twin IVF baby as a result of this trauma.

She had been somewhat traumatized by matters between men and women. Moreover, giving birth to her first child had damaged her body, making natural conception more difficult.

However, she did not anticipate that someone would exploit such a significant loophole!

Zuo Yuanyi was the virtuous husband she had personally chosen. She needed to provide her child with a father and a respectable man.

Although Zuo Yuanyi came from an ordinary background, he had a high educational background and IQ. He was good-looking, healthy, strong, and had a gentle and considerate temperament. He met her standards.

Thus, she accepted him as her husband. Later, Zuo Yuanyi did not disappoint her.

However, she did not expect him to have an affair with Luo Fangfei long before, becoming the son-in-law of the Tong family. He sought to elevate his father’s status through his son, hoping that Tong Sinian would seize the power of the Tong family and eventually bring his beloved Luo Fangfei to his side.

Although Zuo Yuanyi was outstanding, his horizons were limited by his family background. Initially, he did not dare to dream of seizing the power of the Tong family.

It was Luo Fangfei who instigated him to entertain such ambitions.

Luo Fangfei was different from him. She was the adopted daughter of the old master of the Luo family and the god-sister of the current head of the Luo family, Luo Wen.

Though she was referred to as an adopted daughter, she was effectively the exclusive property of the father and son.

She managed to survive in the presence of the Luo father and son because of her skill in perfume-making.

The Luo Clan was an aristocratic family known for its perfume-making, but talent in this field was highly dependent on natural ability. Nurturing a skilled perfume maker was not an easy task.
