Chapter 1: You’re Not My Biological Child, But You Have to Give Your Job to My Biological Daughter

BOOM!

Thunder roared.

Dark clouds gathered.

Shen Anan, who had just passed the exam to become a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative, happily returned home to share the good news. Upon opening the door, she saw a stranger she had never met before.

“Anan, you’re back?”

Shen Anan’s mother, Liu Cailan, came out.

“You passed the exam, right?”

Shen Anan nodded.

Her gaze remained fixed on the stranger’s face.

The stranger was about the same age as her.

She also bore a slight resemblance to her mother.

Could she be a relative?

Strange.

Liu Cailan breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Shen Anan had passed the exam.

She pulled the strange girl to her side.

“Anan, there’s something I need to tell you.

When you were at the hospital, you and Xiuxiu were switched at birth. She is my biological daughter with your father.

We only found out after she came looking for us.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Anan was stunned.

What?

She wasn’t her parents’ biological child?!

And this person was?

“Mom, are you sure? How is that possible?”

Shen Anan looked at her mother, her eyes full of disbelief.

She even wondered if she had misheard.

“Anan, Mom isn’t mistaken. It’s been confirmed.”

Liu Cailan said in a low voice.

Impatience flickered in her eyes.

But ultimately, she suppressed it.

“Anan, don’t be afraid. Even if you’re not our biological daughter, your parents will never kick you out.”

Stepping forward, Liu Cailan grabbed Shen Anan’s hand.

Shen Anan was still in a daze.

However, her mother’s words helped her calm down slightly.

“Come, sit here and eat. Mom made your favorite braised pork today!”

Liu Cailan pulled Shen Anan to sit down.

She also asked the newly reunited Shen Xiuxiu to sit down.

“Anan, eat.”

Shen Xiuxiu pushed the braised pork towards Shen Anan.

Seeing the other’s actions, Shen Anan was somewhat moved.

“You eat too.”

Shen Anan said softly.

Seeing this, Liu Cailan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Anan, your mother isn’t heartless.

You may not be my biological daughter, but eighteen years of affection can’t be changed!

Rest assured, I will still treat you as my own daughter!”

She grabbed Shen Anan’s hand again.

Tears seemed to glisten in her eyes.

Seeing her mother like this, Shen Anan nodded emphatically.

Even if she wasn’t biological, her mother’s words were enough.

Liu Cailan picked up a piece of braised pork for Shen Anan and sighed.

“Anan, with your parents, although we weren’t rich, you were able to go to school, even to high school, and now you’ve gotten a job at the supply and marketing cooperative!

Xiuxiu wasn’t so lucky. After being switched at birth, her adoptive parents disappeared.

She was left to be raised by her grandparents, working in the fields every day to earn work points. It was incredibly hard!”

As she spoke, tears flowed down, falling onto Shen Anan’s hand.

Hearing these words, Shen Anan looked at Shen Xiuxiu.

Working in the fields every day to earn work points?

Why was she wearing clean clothes, without a single patch, looking white and plump?

Were all people who worked in the fields like this?

She harbored doubts but didn’t voice them.

Seeing Shen Anan’s lack of reaction, Liu Cailan frowned.

“Anan, you see, Xiuxiu had such a hard life. If she hadn’t been switched at birth, she wouldn’t have had to live like that!

Now that you’ve gotten a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, why don’t you give the job to Xiuxiu, as compensation? Okay?”

Clatter!

After hearing her mother’s words, Shen Anan’s chopsticks fell to the ground.

Give the job to Shen Xiuxiu?

“Anan, Mom knows you’re the most obedient. Just pity Xiuxiu. If she doesn’t have a job, she’ll have to go back to the village!

She finally came to Hecheng from the village to find her biological parents. If she’s sent back, what will happen to her!”

Liu Cailan wailed.

She clutched Shen Anan tightly.

But Shen Anan remained silent.

“Anan, I’m sorry.

But if we hadn’t been switched at birth, it should have been me studying and working in Hecheng!”

Shen Xiuxiu’s eyes were full of resentment.

Everything should have been hers!

In her previous life, she stayed in the countryside her whole life, and before her death, she learned that she was the biological daughter of the future richest man in Hecheng!

And that Shen Anan had enjoyed everything that should have been hers, Shen Xiuxiu’s!

After being reborn, she left the husband she was about to marry, took the betrothal gifts money, and finally came to Hecheng after much hardship to find her biological parents!

To completely drive Shen Anan away, she told them that she was a lucky star, and with her around, their family would become the richest in Hecheng.

Shen Anan, on the other hand, was a disaster star that would hinder the family’s prosperity!

But unexpectedly, upon arrival, Shen Anan had just passed the exam to become a salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Why?

Everything should belong to Shen Xiuxiu!

Even if Shen Anan had to leave, she had to get the job first!

Shen Anan ignored Shen Xiuxiu and looked at her mother.

“What will I do if I give her the job?

Mom, I worked so hard to get this job!”

It was originally a radish position, but Shen Anan was lucky, the person who originally got the job suddenly didn’t want it, allowing her, who had the top score, to get it.

She was planning to come home to share the good news, but instead, she learned that she wasn’t their biological daughter, and even had to give the job to her biological sister.

Why?

“Shen Anan, do you even have a conscience?!”

Liu Cailan lost her patience.

“Can’t you take another exam if you lose this job? If not, you can look for other jobs!

You’ve enjoyed the good life for so long, is it so hard to give up a job?!”

Liu Cailan stood up, her eyes wide open, staring at Shen Anan.

She had raised a white-eyed wolf!

“Mom, is getting a job that easy?

If I give up this job, will other positions still want me?

Moreover, there are no job openings now. If I give up this job and it’s discovered, I’ll have to go to the countryside!”

Currently, any city dweller who graduated without a job or marriage, once discovered, would basically have to go to the countryside.

Unless your family already has someone in the countryside!

Shen Anan had long understood that her parents wouldn’t let her younger brother, Shen Yaozu, drop out of school to go to the countryside, so she tried her best to get this job.

However, she finally got it.

Just because Shen Xiuxiu was the biological daughter, Shen Anan had to give up this job?

This job wasn’t bought by her family, it was earned by Shen Anan herself!

Tears of resentment flowed down.

Drip, drip, drip.

They fell onto the braised pork on the table.

But Liu Cailan’s face showed no pity.

“Your father and I raised you for so many years, don’t you know how to be grateful?

Fine, you’re not our biological child, so you can’t be raised. What’s the difference between you and a white-eyed wolf?

These things should have belonged to Xiuxiu anyway. We didn’t kick you out of the house, and now you’re not willing to give up a job?

What’s the use of raising you?!”

Liu Cailan’s words pierced Shen Anan’s heart.

Shen Anan wiped her tears, met her mother’s disgusted gaze, and her lips trembled.

“Did I deliberately cause you to make a mistake? Did I insist on being your daughter?”

However, as soon as she finished speaking.

Slap!

A slap landed on her face.
