Chapter 3 Gold
Chapter 3 Gold
Xia Xue blinked, then blinked again, and pointed to herself with her index finger.
"Me, a real heiress?"
Xia Yao chuckled and nodded, saying, "Yes, you are the true daughter of the Xia family who has been separated for eighteen years."
Xia Xue and Fang Rou exchanged a glance.
"Is she a real or fake heiress?"
Fang Rou glanced around, then whispered in Xia Xue's ear, "Xiao Xue, is this some kind of prank?"
Xia Xue frowned and concentrated, sensing for a moment before shaking her head slightly.
"I didn't find any cameras."
Since practicing the "Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong" (a type of Taoist exercise), his five senses have become increasingly acute.
She can clearly sense when others are looking at her, even through cameras; if she concentrates, she can sense it.
Fang Rou glanced at Xia Yao, maintaining her smile, and said softly through gritted teeth, "Xiao Xue, do you think this isn't a new type of scam?"
Xia Xue carefully examined Xia Yao, using her innate ability to discern character to make a thorough assessment. After receiving the answer that Xia Yao was "proud, confident, and disdainful of lying," Xia Xue whispered in her ear, "She doesn't seem like a liar."
Of course, more importantly, she received a system notification.
Even so, she couldn't be sure, fearing it might just be a false alarm.
This was to serve as a foil for the real heiress who appeared later in the series.
After all, her roles have always been cameos.
The real heiress in the real and fake heiress story—this role doesn't really fall into the category of a cameo, right?
Xia Xue then thought of something.
It's hard to say.
After all, the title of the work doesn't mention the real heiress.
Who knows, this real heiress might actually just be a background character or extra, indispensable but with virtually no screen time.
Xia Yao squinted, standing there aloofly, letting the two whisper among themselves. Then, she gently raised her hand, and immediately a young woman in her mid-twenties, wearing the same suit and carrying a briefcase, walked over quickly, took a folder out of the bag, and handed it to Xia Yao.
"This is the DNA test report."
Xia Xue took the folder.
I read it carefully once.
Two of the documents were between her and Shen Wanyi and Xia Yun, and the other two were between her and Shen Weiyi and Xia Jun.
The results for the first two cases were that the parent-child relationship was not established, while the results for the latter two cases were that the parent-child relationship was established.
The document has an official seal, so it should be genuine.
Xia Xue handed the document to Fang Rou, who had been peeking at it from the side, and then looked up at Xia Yao, asking, "Only mine?"
She wasn't surprised that the Xia family could so easily obtain her, Shen Wanyi's, and Xia Yun's DNA samples.
In this world's Dragon Kingdom, certain customs have been almost completely preserved.
The influence of the wealthy and powerful is incomparable to that of the nouveau riche in my previous life.
Xia Yao maintained her smile, shook her head, and said, "I won't show you mine; after all, it's my privacy."
Xia Xue was speechless.
So her privacy isn't privacy anymore?
Xia Yao looked up again, and the female assistant standing next to her quickly took out a folder from her briefcase and handed it to Xia Yao.
"This is the account of the incident I investigated back then. It wasn't premeditated; it was just an accident. After all, our parents' names were too similar, and our cribs were right next to each other. It's understandable that a young nurse who had just started working might have made a mistake."
Xia Xue didn't answer, but just glanced at Xia Yao, took the folder from Xia Yao's hand, and started looking at it again.
It contains complete witness testimonies and physical evidence, and even documents from that time, making the chain of evidence very complete.
Xia Xue handed the document to Fang Rou and looked up at Xia Yao, saying, "I want to do the DNA test again myself. Also, I will double-check this evidence."
Although the probability of this being true is almost 100%, Xia Xue decided to double-check it just to be on the safe side.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding in the end. Xia Yao and the others didn't care, but she was embarrassed.
A hint of appreciation flashed in Xia Yao's eyes, and she nodded, saying, "That's only right. If it were me, I would do the same."
Xia Yao then asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Xia Xue shook her head and said, "There's no rush. We have plenty of time. I'll ask you if you want to know anything later."
Xia Yao scrutinized Xia Xue for a moment, then pondered, "There are significant discrepancies between what you said and the information I gathered."
Xia Xue raised an eyebrow.
"Data is subjective, biased, and outdated. It is not wise to make judgments based solely on data."
Xia Yao nodded thoughtfully.
"Been taught a lesson."
Putting on sunglasses, Xia Yao said firmly, "I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned and left with a flourish.
"etc."
Xia Xue remembered something and called out to her.
"My parents' side..."
Xia Yao waved her hand with her back turned and said, "My parents went to see them. By now, they should already know the truth."
Then, Xia Yao raised her hand and beckoned with her finger.
The female assistant who had been carrying the briefcase quickly walked up to Xia Xue and handed her a business card.
"This is our CEO's business card. Please keep it safe."
Xia Xue glanced down.
"Founder, Chairman and CEO of Yaoguang Technology".
"Yaoguang Technology?" Fang Rou peeked inside and exclaimed, "Isn't that the AI company that's been all the rage lately? I'm using their products, and they're really great!"
As she spoke, Fang Rou took out her phone and pointed to an app that looked like a girl's ID photo, saying, "Look, isn't this it?"
Xia Xue glanced at it.
The AI's name is Yaoguang.
"Xia Yao, Yao Guang, ha, so narcissistic."
Xia Xue silently murmured something to herself.
Xia Xue quickly searched for information about Yao Guang on her phone and found relevant information about Xia Yao.
Xia Xue then searched for information about Xia Jun and Shen Weiyi. Both of them were well-known figures, and there were even encyclopedia entries about them.
Xia Xue flipped through the document briefly, gained a general understanding of the Xia family.
The Xia family started their fortune in the stock market, later established a financial company, began accumulating shares, expanded their scale, established funds, continued to dominate the stock market, and later switched to investment. During the years when the Internet was booming, they discovered many unicorn companies. In recent years, they have begun to get involved in the real economy, completed several well-known mergers and acquisitions, and established their own group company.
"Tianhe Group".
Ha, what a grand name.
"Valued at 200 billion!"
Yes, it truly lives up to its name.
Fang Rou was still dizzy at this point.
"Xiaoxue, you're a rich heiress who was switched at birth? That's too surreal! It feels like a short drama."
Hehe, little girl, remove the word "seems".
This world is inherently a female-oriented world.
Hey hey hey.
Maybe your life is a short drama.
"Wow!"
Fang Rou exclaimed in surprise, hugging Xia Xue and cheering, "Haha, my best friend has become a rich heiress, haha!"
Xia Xue rolled her eyes.
Will I become a wealthy heiress, or will you?
Why do you seem even more excited than I am?
