As soon as An Rugu finished speaking, the comments in the live broadcast room exploded.

[Holy shit, I can’t believe I’m really here with a real vs fake daughter scenario.]

[What is the answer? I don’t understand at all. What riddles are you talking about? Isn’t it just a simple hatred for the rich that led to the exchange of children?]

[Ah ah ah ah don’t be the Riddler! The Riddler get out of Gotham!]

The atmosphere of the barrage was as hot as boiling water, and the person involved in the topic herself was even more agitated.

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> was not a fool. Her high IQ, emotional intelligence, and experience honed from her many years of wading through the circle of wealthy ladies—all these allowed her to quickly filter through countless conjectures in her head.

She simply didn’t think in this direction before because normally no one would doubt their child. But once she started thinking in this direction, her thoughts were like rampaging wild horses and could no longer be stopped.

This nanny was so cruel that she sent her daughter to their home, and she didn’t show up until her daughter was in college.

The reason may indeed be that the nanny simply hated the rich.

But she didn’t believe that there was such a coincidence in this world. How could a person who had nothing to do with them dare to be so ambitious?

Although normal people would not do a paternity test for their children, the matter would be exposed sooner or later. Wasn’t the nanny afraid of retaliation from the family?

Could it be that the nanny thought their family would develop feelings for the ‘adopted’ daughter that they have raised for many years, so they would be reluctant to take revenge?

This possibility was somewhat slim.

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> tried to lower her bottom line and put herself into the nanny’s perspective. From a purely profit perspective, what she gained was far less than what she lost. She didn’t have to take such a big risk and be separated from her own flesh and blood for nearly twenty years.

The nanny definitely wanted more than just a little money.

“Could it be…” 

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> suddenly felt an outburst of anger. She received one shocking block after another, and her body already felt numb, but her mind was running at high speed: “That nanny is good-looking and of a style my husband would have liked when he was young. Xiaomin is only indifferent to me, but she is still very close to my husband…”

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> felt like she had grasped the truth, but in her heart she couldn’t fully believe this truth because it would lead to their family going down in ruins.

“Master, you only said earlier that Xiaomin is not my daughter, but you did not say that Xiaomin is not our daughter—me and my husband’s. I seem to understand what you mean now,” <Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> murmured to herself. 

With her face pale and her breath faint, she asked, “Xiaomin is my husband’s daughter, right?”

It was the most reasonable conclusion she could think of.

For the nanny, the child may no longer live with her, but she still lived with her father, so the pain of separation was tempered. Even if she was exposed one day, Xiaomin was still her husband’s child. Even tigers do not eat their children. No matter how cruel her husband was, there was no way he would be cruel to Xiaomin.

An Rugu’s faint sigh could be heard. “You are very keen.”

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea>‘s heart skipped a beat. As if something had completely drained away all the strength from her body, she almost slipped off the chair, and it took a lot of effort to hold herself upright.

More than 10,000 people in the live broadcast room helplessly watched <Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> as she struggled with this revelation. They didn’t know what she was thinking. If the clock on the wall wasn’t still moving, they would even think that it was a still picture.

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> was recalling things. She remembered that one night when she was pregnant with her little daughter, she suddenly discovered lipstick marks and an unfamiliar scent of perfume on her husband’s clothes, which was a clear provocation.

When she asked her about it, her husband was vague. It wasn’t until she repeatedly pressed and threatened to divorce that her husband admitted that he had gotten carried away while socializing for business.

She and her husband had been classmates and had a deep relationship. Her husband was unwilling to divorce her, promising that he would never stray again and hoped she would forgive him.

She was devastated at the time and desperately wanted a divorce.

But <Warm Up Wine and Make Tea>’s family disagreed—her husband’s family background was so good that it allowed her entire family to achieve a leap in status.

“After your divorce, can you find someone better than him?”

“Once you get divorced, how big of a shadow will it leave on Xiaojun?”

“With their family’s power and money, they will never let you take Xiaojun away. Your husband is young and talented, so it would be easy for him to find another partner. If he finds an unreliable stepmother for Xiaojun, it would be strange if she didn’t press down on Xiaojun. Even if you don’t think about yourself, you still have to think about Xiaojun.”

At that time, the young Xiaojun cried until he almost fainted when he heard that she was getting a divorce from his father.

<Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> faced the pressure from her husband’s family, her natal family, and her son. Although she was unwilling to give in, she finally chose to bow down to reality.

The husband abided by their agreement and broke off with the orioles and the swallows outside. After several years, their relationship gradually returned to its original state. However, <Warm Up Wine and Make Tea> understood that the incident had become a thorn in her heart, and she could no longer trust her husband unconditionally as before.

She always thought that she would continue to live with this thorn in her heart, but she never expected that her husband not only put a thorn in her heart but also directly led someone to completely crush her real daughter.
