Daughter

Chapter 1

Oh? So I am the unlucky rich man whose life was changed in this book?

...

Taylor flipped through the pages of the book casually, and when no one answered, he kicked his head lightly and said, I'm asking you a question.

The head lying on the ground shook, turned his face with difficulty, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito, Yes, yes...

Tsk. Taylor's eyes were full of disgust. Speak louder. What's going on? Brother, aren't both of your friends capable of shouting? How did you become their companion with such a small voice?

The head lying on the ground didn't dare to move, let alone refute.

The woman sitting on the main seat didn't even look at it. The corpses of his colleagues who could shout were still not far away, and his head was still under her feet. Faced with this situation, he dared to speak loudly. ?

As the only living head in the main god's space other than Taylor, he just had to have someone who knows the current affairs carved as a hero on his forehead, This... you, you can regard it as something that happened in your last life.

Seeing that Taylor didn't interrupt him, the living head - the librarian of the Lord God Space wanted to start thinking, Now that you have defeated the previous system administrator, you are the new one...

The Lord! Seeing Taylor's eyes falling on him lightly, the librarian quickly changed his words and changed his title to a noble one.

After saying that, he shook unconsciously.

The fresh smell of blood mixed with a faint murderous aura filled the pure white space of the main god, making it nauseating.

In the silence, there was a sudden pop, and the librarian's heart almost jumped into his throat.

I saw Taylor closing the book in his hand——

When she returned, she was the long-lost daughter of a wealthy family, with a seven-digit pocket money every month, and subsidies from time to time. Based on this, every second she hesitated was a sign of disrespect for the seven-digit pocket money.

Compared to being a leader in this cold, white space of the main god, of course it is better to go back to the world of flowers and lie down and bask in the sun.

After working hard for so many years, Taylor just wants to retire.

Da da da......

As the footsteps slowly faded away, the librarian dared to raise his head secretly, and saw Taylor walking directly into the light door back to the real world with blood-stained footsteps, without even giving the corpse a look. A glance at the main god space of Mountain Blood Sea.

**

When he opened his eyes again, Taylor was sitting in a dilapidated rental house.

There are indelible black marks on the gray walls, and the peeling paint at the corners exudes a sense of moisture.

Sitting on the simple wooden bed, Taylor was stung by the sunlight coming from the window and subconsciously squinted his eyes.

here it is......

While she was still in a trance, the doorbell rang.

even 0.1 seconds, Taylor focused his eyes and went to open the door soberly.

The person who came was the housekeeper of the Tan family. He looked like he was in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a crisp suit and had a perfect smile. He was gentle and courteous, with a measured advance and retreat.

Hello, Miss. I am the housekeeper of the Tan family. My surname is Zhong. You can just call me Lao Zhong. Because of the hospital's mistakes, the Miss has been living outside for many years. The master and his wife are very heartbroken. Fortunately, God has eyes. After so many years, After hard work, I finally found you, Miss.

Miss, the master and his wife wanted to come and pick you up in person, but it was an unlucky coincidence that they happened to have a business summit abroad. The master and his wife went abroad on a business trip a few days ago, so they had no choice but to send me to pick you up first.

Now, the master and his wife have boarded the plane back to China and are expected to return tomorrow. Miss, do you think I should take you home first?

Butler Zhong’s attitude is refreshing, but...

In the personal information database of the main god's space, Taylor saw that the reason for the exchange between her and the fake daughter was not a mistake of the hospital.

She raised her eyes and looked directly at Butler Zhong, who was looking at her secretly.

Just one glance.

Butler Zhong froze.

Thin beads of cold sweat broke out uncontrollably on his forehead. Butler Zhong's pupils shrank subconsciously, and he seemed to be able to hear his breathing becoming rapid.

The investigation showed that this real daughter who was taken away by someone with a caring heart didn't grow up in an orphanage? Why do you look so scary? !

Butler Zhong tried to regain his professionalism, but he didn't realize it himself. His voice was much more panicked than before, Miss, what I said is true! The master and his wife really want to pick you up in person. Madam is here I cried for a long time after knowing that my biological daughter was taken away by someone. After learning the truth, I immediately hired an investigation company to find your whereabouts.

It's just that after more than 20 years, there are too few and scattered clues, so it took so long to find you. It's really a coincidence that the master and his wife were on a business trip and couldn't come to pick you up in person! The master and his wife really I’m waiting for you to come home!

After the Master and Madam found out that they found you, they stopped attending the following summits and just caught the nearest flight back home!

Seeing the butler's back tense, Taylor slowly withdrew his gaze and smiled kindly, It turns out my parents are so looking forward to my coming home. I'm so touched.

Every word, without any ripples.

Butler Zhong choked and quietly raised his eyelids to take a look at Taylor. He always felt that this real daughter who grew up in an orphanage was different from the one in the investigation report.

Isn't it said that he is a chuunibyou who has a sensitive and irritable personality, but is also timid and afraid of getting into trouble? No matter how you look at this, I feel...

Taylor: Let's go then.

Butler Zhong was stunned, somewhat unresponsive.

Taylor stood up and looked at him condescendingly, What's wrong? Didn't you say you would take me home first?

Ah, yes, yes! Butler Zhong quickly stood up and led Taylor the way.

Should this true daughter be said to be resolute and resolute? Or is she telling the truth? Anyway...

The feeling of oppression is so strong!

Butler Zhong paid extremely close attention, but he himself did not realize that, facing this real daughter, whom he knew little about, his attitude had unconsciously changed from observing and sizing up to being more respectful than when he was facing Betha, the head of the Tan family .

Taylor followed him leisurely, got into the spacious luxury car with a small refrigerator, drank soda water that she had never drunk before, and looked out the window with her bottomless eyes without focus, until the messy and crowded streets slowly disappeared behind her, and the quiet and spacious boulevard slowly came into view——

Wow, this house is quite big. Standing in front of the Tan family's mansion, Taylor exclaimed in admiration.

Butler Zhong was professional and would not let any of Taylor's words fall to the ground. As long as the lady is satisfied, please come this way.

Taylor looked around calmly.

Wow, I knew the Tan family was a wealthy family, but I didn’t expect it to be so wealthy.

Although Taylor had been in the infinite flow world for who knows how many years and she almost forgot what the real world was like, she had to admit that in her previous poor imagination, the place where the rich lived was at most a larger villa, farther away from the neighbors, with better greenery and so on.

But now, what she saw before her was not so much a villa as it was——

castle.

The greenery is quite good. There is not only a private forest around it, but also a private lake.

As for the neighbors...

Anyway, she didn't see any buildings other than this castle on her way here.

Taylor nodded with satisfaction: It seems that her retirement life will be quite comfortable.

The Tan family who lives in this castle is worthy of its seven-figure monthly pocket money.

This satisfaction went to a higher level after she entered the castle.

As a well-known old-money family in the country and even the world, the Tan family demonstrates its low-key luxury in every aspect.

Lamps that looked very expensive at first glance, paintings that looked very expensive at first glance, porcelain that looked very expensive at first glance, and carpets that looked very expensive at first glance. Taylor, who had no sense of art appreciation, looked at the furniture that was visible to his eyes. It's expensive and beautiful, and every angle is carefully calculated.

The only thing is that Taylor is still not used to it.

Welcome home, Miss——

Welcome home, Miss——

Neat and unified, as if trained.

Taylor originally thought that having a butler in a suit and tie in a rich family was beyond her imagination. Unexpectedly, the butler Zhong who came to pick her up was just the tip of the iceberg!

There is a row of well-groomed maids on the left, and a row of clean and refreshing housekeepers on the right. She holds her hands in front of her belly and bows slightly. She stands in the middle, facing the smiling faces that are just right.

Her imagination was still shallow.

However, it's not a big problem.

Taylor considered himself to be very adaptable, something he was not used to in the imagination of wealthy families, but in just two or three breaths, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Taylor corrected her attitude as the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, and calmly glanced at the two rows of maids and butlers who seemed to bow at calculated angles, and glanced at Butler Zhong who was two steps behind her.

Butler Zhong was excited, Miss, may I show you around first?

Taylor nodded reservedly.

Walking through the red carpet-covered corridor, the spacious dining room is decorated with long carved tables, decorated with seasonal flowers and exquisitely carved candlesticks. Taylor's figure is clearly reflected on the glass window of the red wine cabinet. and a long line of housekeepers and maids following behind her.

This table...if two people sit at opposite ends, they have to shout to hear what the other person says, right?

Rich people have a lot of lung capacity.

Taylor looked at the size of the wine cabinet up and down. If the entire wall of red wine fell down, the damage would be huge.

Taylor: Not bad.

Seeing that Taylor was satisfied, Butler Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, There are three chefs in the kitchen, who are good at Chinese, French and Japanese food respectively. There are also other chefs who are good at different cuisines from different countries, as well as those who are good at Western desserts and Chinese pastries. Master, if you are interested, you can give it a try.

If it doesn't suit your taste, or if you have other needs, you can tell me directly and I will arrange for a new chef to take over immediately.

Taylor recalled his life of eating just to be full over the years, and said seriously, Then let each chef serve me a specialty dish tonight.

Butler Zhong: Okay, Miss, do you have any taboos?

Taylor waved his hand.

Even if she had any taboos a long time ago, they are gone now after so many years. After all...

Taylor paused while waving his hand, then opened his mouth and said, No coriander, no mushrooms, no bloody meat, and...

She said extremely seriously, Don't smell of alcohol.

She is now a rich lady, the kind of rich lady who lives in a castle. There is no taboo against her status as a rich lady.

Butler Zhong wrote them down one by one and said respectfully, Okay, Miss.

After he gave Taylor's request, he continued to show Taylor around.

Walking out of the restaurant, you will see a high ceiling, gorgeous and exquisite crystal lamps hanging down, the light of crystal flakes refracting on the bright floor, polished leather sofas, and a classic and luxurious bar, which looks good and comfortable to sit on. Expensive bar stool.

Butler Zhong: This is the reception room, which can be changed into a banquet hall of different styles according to needs.

Taylor looked up at the overly beautiful crystal chandelier, vaguely recalling his long-ago imagination of a wealthy and prestigious family.

Just right.

You need a crystal lamp like this.

There was also a long dining table in the restaurant, a princess bed with a canopy, a bathroom that was larger than her entire rental house, a bathroom that could be used as a swimming pool, and a dressing room filled with clothes, jewelry and bags.

Taylor discovered that this castle completely matched her previous extravagant imagination.

She was young at that time and had watched too many idol dramas and comics. She dreamed of being the precious daughter of the world's richest man who had been abandoned for many years. One day, she would return to her roots and live a life of luxury, with dozens of handsome guys fighting for her.

Sometimes she is annoyed by life and thinks about the end of the world and the social class reshuffle. She has become a hero who saves the world and enjoys the respect of the world.

But later, before she was recognized by the richest man, her doomsday fantasy came true...

Butler Zhong: There is a personal cinema, bowling alley and winery on the first floor of the basement. The second floor is the garage. The master has given instructions. You can use the cars inside as you like. There is a sky garden and an infinity swimming pool on the top floor. There are tennis courts and outdoor The greenhouse, golf course and horse farm are in the other direction. If the lady wants to visit, we can arrange it for you immediately.

I have prepared some clothes and jewelry for you in advance. The master has told me that if the size is not suitable or you don't like the style, you can change them all and buy them again. Do you think it is necessary to arrange for someone to come to your door now to let you choose?

Taylor was stunned for a moment, Okay, let someone come over.

She even learned to push her limits without any teacher, By the way, can we also arrange some kind of full-body beauty massage? Arrange one for me too.

Put a game console and high-definition projection screen in my room...

Although it is beyond her imagination, Taylor is accepting her retirement life well, but her only regret is that her imagination on how to spend her money is too weak.

Taylor regretted, I'll think about the rest and tell you when I think of it.

Unexpectedly, one day she would have such troubles about how to use money to do whatever she wanted.

Life is full of twists and turns.

chapter 2

On her first day back at the wealthy family, Taylor took a comfortable bath in a bathtub that was as big as a swimming pool and enjoyed a drowsy full-body essential oil SPA. While a specialist was taking care of her hair, four people gathered around her limbs to help her with nail care and manicure.

Before she finished her nails and hair, the mall’s VIP-only door-to-door service arrived.

From the new styles of the season to limited editions, from pajamas to casual wear to dresses, according to her size, a batch of clothes came in, went out, and then changed again, which made Taylor's eyes dazzled.

Taylor let the hairstylist and manicurist continue, indicating with his chin, The blue one, the red one, the yellow one, and the white one, all of them.

The store manager who delivered the goods to my door showed a standard eight-tooth smile, Okay, Miss Tan, do you need to see anything else?

Um? Does this imply that she is not wealthy enough?

Taylor thought for a while, put away his shallow imagination, and corrected his attitude as a wealthy daughter, Then let's take it from one row to another.

Wow, it feels like paying without looking at the numbers——

Cool!

Up here!

Although Taylor was mentally prepared to calm down and spend money, when it came time to choose jewelry, she really didn't have the energy.

Spending money is still a physical job!

She pressed her fingernails and pointed casually, Let's get it from here to there.

It wasn't until Taylor went back to her room to rest when she was tired of spending money that Butler Zhong was shocked to realize that this newly found real daughter had never asked her who her biological parents were, and who was the wrong one. What kind of person is the fake daughter?

She just...

I just felt comfortable spending millions of dollars in one afternoon.

**

So she spent so much money right after she came back?

Xiao Li has suffered alone for so many years, this little money is nothing!

This amount of money is really nothing for a family like ours, but for Xiaoli's upbringing, it is already a huge sum of money. She has no self-control, I'm afraid this child...

What's wrong with this child? What's wrong?! If we hadn't lost her, she would have grown up like a princess. As long as Xiaoli is happy, she can even throw the money into the sea to play with it!

Wife, you can't say that. We are still here and can protect her, but how long can we protect her? One day we will be one step ahead of her. If this...

...I know, I know, but...husband, when I think of how much Xiaoli has suffered over the years...I, I...

The woman's muffled crying sounded clearly in Taylor's ears, and she opened her eyes calmly.

It’s not that the room has bad soundproofing, it’s that she is too sensitive and will wake up at the slightest disturbance.

Listening to the argument between the man and the woman downstairs, Taylor thought, did she spend too much money yesterday?

It seems that even the rich can't always experience the joy of spending money without looking at the numbers...

Taylor slowly got up from the bed and picked out a golden, long-skirted evening dress that was obviously not for everyday wear from the pile of clothes she bought yesterday that she hadn't even taken a look at yet. She also picked out a pair of high heels that looked difficult to walk in but were very gorgeous.

Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and a diamond clutch that can’t hold anything, all of them are indispensable.

Coupled with the careful grooming of her hair yesterday, until she looked like a moving Christmas tree, Taylor nodded with satisfaction.

Hahahaha, it's obvious that this is not something she would wear. If she encounters a natural disaster or man-made disaster with this outfit on, she won't be able to escape and will be the first cannon fodder! Hahahaha.

Taylor wore a particularly pleasant smile, held up her skirt modestly, raised her chin proudly, and walked out of the room with my very expensive steps.

Unfortunately, she stumbled on the first step because of those beautiful but rebellious high heels.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and managed to grab the handrail, preventing herself from rolling down the stairs in her evening dress.

But her diamond-encrusted clutch wasn't so lucky.

Seeing it dong, dong, dong jumping down the steps, the small diamonds on the bag had never suffered such injustice. One or two of them fled desperately and fell all over the floor. Taylor felt in his heart He said regretfully without any hesitation——

If this diamond can't stick back, will the money I just spent yesterday just be wasted like this?

The sound of money being wasted... is beautiful!

The sound of a handbag falling attracted the attention of people on the first floor. Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, a woman in a pink knitted dress ran out. She was wearing a snow-white shawl and her long, slightly curly chestnut hair was pulled up to one side. From the side, revealing a slender white neck, graceful figure, and a face that is very age-deceiving.

Wow, what a beauty.

Taylor had just finished praising him, and he was so caught off guard that he looked into those beautiful eyes that were filled with tears.

Taylor took the initiative to raise his hand, Hello?

In one sentence, I felt pity for the beautiful lady and her eyes were full of tears.

The beauty stretched out her hand tremblingly, as if she wanted to get closer but didn't dare.

The man who appeared next was wearing a straight suit and vest, and he hugged the beauty gently. He looked at Taylor along the beauty's hand with a pair of eagle eyes, and frowned slightly.

The beautiful woman leaned in the man's arms, with water drops filling her eyes, Xiao Li, my Xiao Li...

Seeing that his wife's voice was tinged with tears, the man knitted his brows and tried to speak as softly as possible, Xiao Li, we are your parents.

Taylor grabbed the handrail of the stairs and nodded, Hello, daddy, hello, mommy.

Bertha and Zoe were both stunned.

Zoe trembled and looked at her biological daughter who had just been found. Her daughter was currently half-sitting on the stairs, calling her mother obediently.

The tears in Zoe's eyes finally couldn't help falling. She broke away from Bertha's arms, and she, who was usually gentle and dignified, rushed to Taylor's side at a speed she could not imagine.

He took Taylor into his arms.

Zoe: Yes, I am your mother, my Xiaoli, my baby girl...

Ah this...

Taylor was slightly absent-minded in that warm and soft embrace, not knowing how to react for a moment.

Please ask, what should she do when she is held in someone's arms and that person is still crying?

Taylor looked at the ceiling, stretched out his hand and patted Zoe on the back, If you can, can you call me Bertha?

The title Xiaoli is a bit embarrassing for a pragmatic person like her.

Zoe's tears paused, D-Bertha?

Yeah. Taylor nodded seriously, I'm quite strong.

I don’t know where these words touched Zoe’s tears. Tears rolled down her eyes, and the hand holding Taylor tightened slightly, as if she wanted to rub her into her bones and blood.

My daughter...my baby girl...

Rao is a person like Taylor who has experienced many battles. Faced with this kind of hug that is difficult to refuse, she doesn't know how to react for a moment. She looks blankly at Bertha who is still downstairs.

Your wife, won’t you come to coax her?

Maybe there really was a connection between blood, Bertha walked up the stairs and held Zoe and Taylor into her arms, Okay, okay, our family is finally reunited. It's such a happy day, don't cry.

Before Taylor could break free from the first embrace, she was overwhelmed by the second embrace, and she stared at the ceiling blankly.

...Okay, it's time to show her strong adaptability.

Taylor pulled out his arms, put his left hand on Bertha's back, and his right hand on Zoe's back, Oh! I'm not living well! I have neither broken hands nor broken feet... ...

Before she finished speaking, Zoe cried louder.

...

Numb.

Taylor shut her mouth, OK, isn't it just holding her on the left and right to cry? It's such a big deal. With her physical ability, even if she is held and cried for a day and a night, it won't be a waste.

But fortunately, Bertha and Zoe didn't really hold her and cry all day and night, because——

With a gurgling sound, Taylor's stomach growled.

Taylor didn't take it seriously. After all, being hungry was too normal for her. Let alone this short period of time, even if she was hungry for three days and three nights, she could grow a beast with one knife in the [Beast Paradise]. Tailed leopard.

But she didn't care, but Zoe suddenly let go of Taylor's hand.

She wiped her face haphazardly, Our little one, Bertha, must be hungry. It's all mom's fault. Let's go eat first, okay?

Taylor nodded reservedly.

Although she could bear being hungry, it didn't mean she was comfortable. She could not be hungry or not.

The tears were not dry on Zoe's face, but she tried her best to smile, What do we, Bertha, want to eat? Your father has found a lot of chefs for you, and they have every cuisine. You can eat whatever you want.

Taylor: Well, I ordered the dishes last night and asked each of them to have a specialty dish.

Although she had already eaten a table full of specialties last night, Taylor felt that a chef in a castle like this should have more than one specialty. So, Taylor, who was very satisfied with last night's specialties, asked the chefs in the kitchen to continue preparing specialties for this morning after dinner.

Okay, okay, if Bertha likes it, Mom will give them a bonus.

Taylor: ? Why not just give the bonus to her?

Zoe took Tyler's arm and walked towards the restaurant affectionately. Does Bertha like it here? If there's a decoration you don't like, just tell mom and dad and we'll change it right away. If you don't like this house, we can change to another one. As long as Bertha likes it, that's the most important thing.

With Zoe's arm around her, Taylor was finally able to walk in those 10cm high heels. She thought for a moment, Can we get one with an elevator?

The castle is nice, but there is no elevator and it is difficult to go up and down the stairs.

Taylor, who is determined to retire, adheres to the principle of never sitting when he can lie down, and never standing when he can sit.

and......

Taylor: Why not just move back to your old home?

Zoe's smile froze.

Bertha looked at Taylor in surprise, Why do you say that?

Taylor pointed to his ears and said, I heard it.

Taylor woke up countless times during the night because she was alert when she slept. She heard these words from the two cleaning maids outside the door when she woke up in the early morning.

Taylor: You should have investigated me. You think I like this kind of big castle that only rich people live in, with a house full of maids and butlers.

Following Taylor's words, Zoe gave Bertha a hard look.

Taylor did not reveal the quarrel between the two of them, I heard that you originally lived in Jiangcheng. You bought a piece of land to build a castle in the city where I live because of me. You want to make it up to me.

But your investigation report may be out of date. Compared to a big castle, I now prefer a modern community with elevators and convenient living.

Of course, if you don't want me to disturb your original life, I can continue to live in this castle.

Where is the place to live? With a seven-figure pocket money in place every month, everything is easy.

The little pearls in Zoe's eyes fell involuntarily again. She hugged Taylor and said, Why bother? Bertha, are you willing to live in Jiangcheng with your parents? It's not too late for your parents to be happy.

She glared fiercely at Bertha behind her, It's all your fault! Bertha is even sad.

Ah...no, she wasn't sad.

Taylor didn't bother to explain, but Bertha lowered her head and admitted her mistake, Yes, yes, it's my fault.

Zoe lightly hammered Bertha's chest, It's just your fault. You found out about Bertha so early, but you didn't tell me, and you secretly took me out of the country so that I couldn't see you at the first time. ’s baby girl!"

Bertha was scolded obediently, I know I was wrong. I wasn't worried that you would be irritated for a while, I just wanted to find out more clearly before telling you.

And I only chose this castle because my daughter likes it...

The words of explanation became lower and lower in Zoe's burning eyes, and finally, Bertha closed her mouth.

Zoe gave him a cold hum, but when facing Taylor, she became as gentle as water, Bertha, don't get me wrong, your father is such a suspicious person, although mother is also very angry that he found You didn’t tell me, but he really wanted you to like him when he built this castle, not that he wouldn’t take you home.

Taylor nodded obediently, I understand.

Although she didn't understand this brain circuit, it didn't stop her from following Zoe's words. Anyway, she just wanted to find a comfortable place to retire and lie down. If it weren't for the fact that the castle didn't have an elevator and it was difficult to walk, she wouldn't have brought it up. thing.

Zoe: Bertha, mom and dad have really been looking forward to getting you back. We waited 10 months for you to be born into this world. You are not abandoned. You are the most precious thing to mom and dad. 's baby."

Taylor was stunned.

She looked at Zoe's deep eyes and said seriously, I understand.

In short, when she was born, she was indeed born with the love of her parents, but now...

Taylor said calmly, Let's go have breakfast, I'm hungry.

Okay, okay. Zoe wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued walking to the restaurant with Taylor in her arms.

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant, Taylor took the main seat as a matter of course and pointed to a table of more than 20 dishes of breakfast, like a host, You're welcome.

Zoe naturally sat under her, holding chopsticks and eager to try, Which one does Bertha like to eat? Mom will pick it up for you.

Bertha looked at the dishes on the table and frowned again.

Just as he was about to speak, Zoe glanced at him, and Bertha had to sit down obediently and eat without saying a word.

Although the Tan family is rich, Betha does not like extravagance. Whether it was the fact that Taylor spent millions in one afternoon just after being recognized, or that she wore such a golden dress and full of jewelry at home early in the morning, not to mention the breakfast on the table that was obviously not enough for one person, all of these accurately hit Betha's dislike.

the most important is......

Betha looked at Taylor calmly. Although her biological daughter had been calling her dad and mom since they met, her eyes and expression were extremely cold and she did not show any admiration at all.

Moreover, when he heard that the Tan family's headquarters was in Jiangcheng, he couldn't wait to ask to go with them...

Bertha was filled with mixed feelings. She always felt that her own daughter had been corrupted by the orphanage and had become a money-hungry person.

If that’s the case...

Bertha's eyes were sharp. After all, she was her and Zoe's biological daughter. She could keep her, but she couldn't give her any more.

Taylor didn't even raise his eyelids when Bertha looked at her from time to time.

Bertha's displeasure with her biological daughter has already been revealed in the book, but even so, will the seven-digit number be missing a zero?

Won't.

Taylor felt that even the self who was in control of everything in the book could have a stable seven-digit pocket money every month. Now that she was back, she could still be worse than the self whose brain was caught in the door. ?

Impossible!

Taylor leisurely... ate all the dishes on the table.

Hiccup ~ Taylor was stunned as he heard a full burp.

Zoe opened her mouth in confusion and struggled to say a word, Our Bertha has a great appetite. It's a blessing to be able to eat.

She subconsciously glanced at Taylor's belly, which was slightly bulging under the waist-hugging golden dress.

At the same time, Betha relaxed his frown. It turned out that her daughter ordered so much food because she could eat it. It was good that it was not wasted. There was hope!

Taylor said inwardly, I'm hungry. I ate a little too much. I'm not usually like this.

Zoe immediately suppressed the thought in her mind and said distressedly, It's okay, it's okay. Betha can eat as much as she likes. Your father is not incapable of feeding you.

Bertha also said in a friendly manner, Yes, Bertha, you can eat as much as you like. We will definitely not let you go hungry.

Taylor nodded perfunctorily.

——Another bad habit that needs to be changed.

**

Because Taylor clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the ridiculously large castle without an elevator, Bertha and Zoe, who had just arrived on an overnight international flight, took Taylor back to their old home in Jiangcheng by plane not long after breakfast.

This time, it was finally a mansion that Taylor could imagine.

After all, her imagination had been greatly improved through yesterday's big castle.

Even though there are no more well-trained maids and housekeepers, there are still several aunts. As for the housekeeper Zhong who came to pick her up, she changed into more casual clothes and turned into Bertha's daily assistant.

Swimming pools, indoor gyms, and personal theaters are all available here in the castle.

Outside the villa is a large green lawn with white courtyard tables and chairs. There is a beautiful and exquisite rose garden. Looking from a distance, you can see half of the roof of the neighbor's house.

Zoe smiled and introduced her one by one, In the future, mother and daughter can have afternoon tea together there.

Taylor nodded, Can I add a recliner if I want?

This place should be very comfortable to bask in the sun.

Zoe naturally responded to everything.

Sudden—

Mom and Dad, you're back. The smiling voice stopped abruptly the moment he saw Taylor.

Chapter 3

She has long, smooth black hair, a cheerful and bright smile, and a well-proportioned and slender figure. Looking at the texture distribution, it can be seen that she usually likes sports. She wears casual yet fashionable clothes. She has a calm temperament from the inside out, and is elegant and elegant.

Wow, another beauty.

Taylor whistled in her heart. Compared with her biological mother who looked like a young girl, this beauty, although young, had a more steady temperament. Her every move had both Zoe's exquisite beauty and Bertha's steadiness.

Wealth and honor nourish people, this is true.

While she was observing the other person, the other person was also observing her.

She had long, fluffy, airy curly hair, fiery red lips that seemed to be smiling, and sapphire earrings the size of pigeon eggs that refracted the sunlight, casting sparkles on her fair shoulders.

blue-gray strapless A-line tulle skirt, a loosely hanging fur shawl, a finger-wide diamond bracelet, and star-designed high heels, as if she was preparing to attend some important dinner party.

With that pair of indifferent eyes, beauty seems to have an aggressive power, and there is an inexplicable sense of the flourishing and withering of flowers.

This is the real daughter who was robbed of more than twenty years of happy life by her...

Wilhelmina looked away guiltily.

The moment Zoe saw Wilhelmina appear, she subconsciously laughed, but the motherly smile only stayed for a short moment and froze in mid-air.

She quietly looked at Taylor's expression——

calm.

Zoe was stunned.

In a daze, Bertha was the first to break the strange calm, Manman is back? Has everything in Ancheng been settled?

The tone is affectionate.

Wilhelmina glanced at Taylor, then hesitantly took two steps forward, Everything has been taken care of, don't worry.

Bertha smiled with satisfaction, Of course Dad can rest assured when Manman is doing things.

Wilhelmina smiled happily and was about to say something, but when she saw Taylor out of the corner of her eye, she took a step back stiffly.

Taylor raised her hand and tried to tidy up the hair around her ears that was slightly blown by the wind. Her hair now looked lazy and casual, but she spent more than an hour blow-drying it, and she couldn't let the wind ruin the style.

Before she raised her hand, Zoe's hand got there first and helped her tidy up the hair around her ears.

The tenderness in Zoe's eyes seemed to melt into water, Our Bertha is so beautiful.

Taylor paused as his hand was half raised, then slowly dropped it, Mom is beautiful too.

This is the truth.

Judging from her age, Zoe is already in her 40s or almost 50, but she still wears pink dresses, and there seems to be no wrinkles around her eyes. The most important thing is -

The light in her eyes made her look better than Wilhelmina, not to mention her.

Her mother probably has never experienced hardships in life since she was a child.

Such a pair of clean and beautiful eyes should always be carefree.

Taylor said seriously, Mom is the most beautiful.

One sentence made Zoe's eyes filled with water.

Ah this...

Taylor closed his mouth and turned to look at Bertha.

Your wife, come and coax her.

Even if her two daughters, one real and one fake, were present, Bertha was still most concerned about her wife, who had been with her for half her life. He put his arm around Zoe's shoulders and stroked her gently to comfort her.

Taylor looked at the sky silently, pretending that he didn't know that he was the one who made him cry.

By the way, she didn't want to make Zoe cry. Who knew that Zoe's tear ducts were so developed that she would cry easily. It had been many years since she had met someone who could cry like this, and she was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden...

Hello.

Taylor turned her head and saw Wilhelmina extending her right hand to her.

Clean hands...

Taylor didn't want to hold it.

Hello.

Wilhelmina's hand froze in mid-air and she silently took it back.

Bertha frowned, Zoe's eyes stayed on Wilhelmina for a moment, closed her eyes, and put away the slightest bit of heartache.

Opening her eyes again, Zoe pushed away Bertha's arms and took Taylor's hand, Bertha, can mom show you our home?

Tyler: Okay.

Having said that, Zoe didn't even glance at Wilhelmina and Bertha, and she pulled Taylor into the villa intimately.

Of course she knew that her attitude would make Wilhelmina sad, and she also knew that it was unfair to her, but...

At this moment, the whole world is not as important as her precious daughter who was lost and found again.

Wilhelmina looked at Zoe and Taylor walking away, and lowered her head dejectedly.

Bertha patted her shoulder gently. Don't blame your mother. She just feels that she owes the child too much.

No... Wilhelmina shook her head fiercely, I won't blame my mother. I know, I know.

It was me who robbed her of her happy life for so many years. It was me who robbed her of her parents. It's all my fault.

Stubborn tears were in his eyes, insisting not to fall.

Bertha sighed, ...it's not your fault either.

Wilhelmina covered her face, tears leaking from her fingers.

**

Taylor didn't know what Wilhelmina was thinking. She was following Zoe to visit her future new home.

Well, not bad, very good.

Compared with the previous gorgeous but empty castle, this villa is more in line with her understanding of home.

Soft tones, warm colors, family photos everywhere, fresh flowers and foliage plants, and the faint smell of sweet soup in the air.

To put it simply, it has more fireworks.

Zoe held Taylor's hand and said, Betha, look, it was decorated according to mom's preferences before. If you don't like this style, tell mom and we'll find someone to change the decoration style.

Now that our Bertha has returned home, we need to take more photos in the future. Mom wants to make a photo wall for you. When Mom is old, she will be happy to look at it.

By the way, is Bertha hungry? Auntie has made some sweet soup in the kitchen. If Bertha is hungry, let's eat some first.

Taylor shook his head obediently, Not hungry.

[She didn’t pay attention and ate too much at breakfast], now she is going to become a picky eater who only eats until she is 70% full.

Zoe: Haha, it's okay to eat too much. There are so many beauty methods nowadays. Even if our Bessa eats that much at every meal, she can still be thin and beautiful.

Taylor: ?

She looked at the back of Zoe's head in confusion . How could she associate beauty treatments with the word never hungry?

Zoe turned her head and said cautiously, Bertha, mom wants to tell you something. Don't be angry, okay?

Taylor: Yeah.

She is the spokesperson for calmness, love and peace [the word angry does not exist in her dictionary].

Zoe was stunned for a moment and looked at Taylor's mouth in confusion.

Taylor:?

Zoe:?

The two people stared at each other.

Zoe shook her head, Bertha, did you just speak?

Taylor nodded, I said it.

Said Hmm.

Zoe breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to have been hallucinating just now. Taylor's mouth didn't move, but she seemed to hear Taylor's voice.

She thought about it and felt that it was because she hardly slept on the plane yesterday, so she felt a little dazed.

Zoe didn't want to worry her daughter, so she put on a healthy smile, but when she thought of what she was going to say next, the smile dimmed a little, Betha, can Xinman...

Xin Man is the one who took the wrong child with you. You just met in the garden.

She paused, Can Xinman continue to live in this house?

Zoe didn't dare to look at Taylor's expression, and said in a panic, I know you may not like Xinman, but she...

She...she...

Taylor tilted her head. What?

Zoe bit her lip and made up her mind, If you really don't like her, then mom will let her move out.

Bang.

Taylor and Zoe turned their heads, just in time to see Wilhelmina unsteady and leaning against the door frame.

Chapter 4

Wilhelmina's eyes turned red, I, I didn't hear anything... I didn't eavesdrop on purpose... I, I...

She subconsciously looked at Zoe, the person she had called mom for more than twenty years.

But Zoe was burned by her pleading gaze, and turned her head to prevent her struggling heart from falling on Wilhelmina.

The children she raised with her own hands were as precious as pearls. As the daughter she had loved and been proud of for more than 20 years, Wilhelmina was now like this. How could she not feel distressed.

But, but...

When she thought of Taylor growing up alone in the orphanage, when she and Bertha took Wilhelmina to the playground to play for a whole day, Taylor was alone in the orphanage, when she and Bertha held a birthday party for Wilhelmina, Taylor was alone in the orphanage, when she and Bertha went to Wilhelmina's parent-teacher meeting, Taylor was still alone in the orphanage...

When Zoe thought of this, she had only one thought: as long as Taylor was happy, it didn't matter if she was the villain.

It was never a difficult decision, Taylor was her only treasure.

Wilhelmina's expectant gaze fell to the ground. She took a deep breath and smiled uglier than crying, I'll move...

When Betha heard this, her face darkened. She was about to speak.

Taylor: Just live like this.

Am I indifferent, or do you want to move out?

Wilhelmina shook her head blankly.

Taylor was slightly confused, That's fine, isn't our family very rich? You won't be able to support one more child, right?

Isn't that crappy novel about the Lord God's Space a lie to her? If the Tan family were not a global wealthy family, do you believe that she would go back and crush that main god space into ashes?

The murderous look in Taylor's eyes flashed away, and he returned to his plain, lazy look.

Wilhelmina was still stunned, but Zoe had already hugged Taylor in surprise, I knew it, I knew it! Our Bertha is the best and best child in the world.

ah?

For a moment, Taylor felt the coldness on his exposed shoulders.

In the blink of an eye, he saw a tear finally falling from Wilhelmina's red eyes, and Taylor couldn't help but sigh -

[Both mother and daughter are crybabies. It’s not easy for the old man. 】

Crybaby Zoe and Wilhelmina's tears broke down, and Bertha, who was having a hard time, looked at Taylor in confusion.

Zoe slowly let go of Taylor and looked at her quizzically.

Wilhelmina's red and swollen eyes forgot that they were crying just a second ago and looked at her doubtfully.

Facing three pairs of doubtful eyes, Taylor was even more doubtful than them, Why are you looking at me like that?

There was silence after she closed her mouth.

Zoe shook her head, feeling that she was really hallucinating, It's okay, our Bertha finally came back, and mom can't get enough of it.

Mom, can I show you your room?

Taylor nodded.

But Bertha and Wilhelmina behind them had serious expressions.

**

Bertha and Wilhelmina were thinking about their own things. Tyler was affectionately taken by Zoe's arm and taken to a room on the second floor.

Judging from the structure of the house, this should not be the room with the best orientation on the second floor, but the decoration in the room is much warmer than that of the previous castle, and it can be seen that the person who decorated it put a lot of thought into it.

It's not the kind of mindset that only spends money, but the kind of mindset that spends feelings.

Zoe: This is the room that Mom started preparing after she found out... that you and Xin Man were taken away by mistake. I don't know if you like it or not.

I spent a long time choosing this bed. I wondered if you would like a princess lace bed, if you would be a cool girl who likes simple black and white, and if you would like a fairy tale style. I even thought about whether I should get you a mermaid shell bed.

Zoe was amused by her own words. She looked at Taylor as if she remembered something from a long time ago. She felt sad and relieved. Mom didn't know what you would like, and I was afraid that I would choose something you wouldn't like. But fortunately, I found you now. You can tell mom what you like.

If you don't like the style of this room, let's change it.

Taylor: I love it.

Although it wasn't the fancy and gorgeous style she wanted, but... it was too warm.

This room, from its materials to its colors to its smell, was so warm that she couldn't say no.

When Zoe heard that Taylor liked it, the corners of her mouth raised high, As long as you like it! As long as you like it!

Look at this lace curtain. Mom made it herself. Isn't it awesome?

Taylor: Awesome.

Zoe's eyes were bright, and she pointed to the cushions and dolls on the small sofa, This cushion was also knitted by my mother herself, and the little bear was made specially for us, Bertha, after my mother learned it!

Taylor laughed, I love it.

Zoe stared blankly at Taylor's smile, her joyful feelings intertwined with a sourness in her heart.

She finally saw her daughter smile from the bottom of her heart.

But when she thought of what she had just heard in her hallucination, Zoe still resisted the urge to drop the little pearl. She pulled Taylor and took her to the cloakroom, Here are the clothes that mother picked out for us Bertha.

Mom doesn't know our Bertha's specific size, so she always picks some loose ones. After saying this, she paused.

Zoe glanced at Taylor's pinch-waist dress and changed her tone, These Bertha can be worn as home clothes. We will go to the mall to buy some new clothes later. Does Bertha like skirts? Mom, wait a minute. Can I take you to pick out some beautiful dresses?

Taylor nodded, Okay.

She doesn't need loose clothes, she just wants a tight-fitting skirt or a big skirt that is inconvenient and flashy.

Zoe thought for a while, How about we do another beauty treatment together?

Taylor continued to nod, Mom is so nice.

Zoe's mind turned, and she felt that she had probably caught Taylor's preferences.

Zoe smiled and said, Since I bought a beautiful skirt, I have to buy some jewelry to match it.

Even Taylor felt a little embarrassed at this time, I bought a lot of jewelry yesterday.

Zoe shook her finger. Who can have too much jewelry? Yesterday's jewelry is yesterday's, and today's jewelry is today's. If you like it, you can buy more tomorrow.

Your father makes so much money, why doesn't he spend it?

Wow—

Mom is so generous!

**

Meanwhile, on the first floor.

Bertha did not ask Wilhelmina what she thought of Taylor, but first asked about the results of her business trip to Ancheng.

Originally, as Wilhelmina was the only daughter of him and Zoe, Bertha had been very concerned about her education since she was a child. After she grew up, she let her join the company. From the bottom to the management level, Wilhelmina's growth never disappointed him.

Bertha originally planned to hand over the management of the business to Wilhelmina within two or three years at most after she graduated from university. As Wilhelmina became more organized and steady in her work, he was slowly delegating power. , leaving Wilhelmina to deal with important projects in various branches and even the head office alone.

In his step-by-step process, the Tan family group was also convinced that Wilhelmina, the young crown princess, came to power.

Bertha originally thought that when Wilhelmina got started, he would take Zoe to travel around the world. Wouldn't it be wonderful?

But who knows...

Recalling the ridiculous past three years ago, even a scheming person like Bertha couldn't help pinching her brows.

How satisfied he was with Wilhelmina as the heir, how ridiculous the situation he faced at that time was.

The road was paved, and the major shareholders of the group also approved it. Once Wilhelmina graduated, the Tan family would be handed over to the new generation of helmsmen. Betha even secretly planned to travel around the world with Zoe...

All because of that woman, everything had to come to a sudden halt.

But even so, Wilhelmina's identity as a fake daughter cannot be made public.

Regardless of the fact that the long-lost biological daughter was not clear at the time, Wilhelmina's reputation had gradually grown over the years as the publicly announced legitimate heir of the Tan family. Once the scandal of the real daughter was exposed, the stock price would probably fluctuate and shareholders would be uneasy.

Therefore, Bertha kept the matter secret, and the search for the real daughter Taylor was also carried out under the surface.

Before finding Taylor, although Zoe had a grudge, after all, Wilhelmina was the daughter she had raised. How could the mother-daughter bond of more than 20 years be wiped out with a simple sentence that she was not her biological child? .

So after all these years, Wilhelmina is still the flawless eldest daughter of the Tan family, just as usual, except that the appointment letter of the group general manager has been temporarily shelved.

Bertha had discussed with Zoe that even if a biological daughter was found by then, Wilhelmina could continue to stay at home. Their family was not without money. Even if they had ten more daughters, let alone one more daughter, they would be able to raise them.

But now...

Bertha recalled Zoe's attitude just now and had some doubts as to whether the initial discussion was still worthwhile.

dad......

Wilhelmina's shout called Bertha's attention back. He closed the report in his hand and said, Very good. Your work over the years has made Dad more and more assured.

Oh, how nice it would be if this was my own daughter.

Although Bertha felt sorry in her heart, she did not show it on her face. Wilhelmina looked at her father who had been omnipotent since she was a child, and subconsciously returned to the mentality of discussing problems with her father. Dad, I just felt like...

She didn't know how to explain that she seemed to hear what Taylor was thinking.

Shh. Bertha's eyes darkened, stopping Wilhelmina from saying the next word.

What are you two talking about behind my back? Zoe stood at the corner of the stairs with Taylor's arm in arm, pouting.

Bertha raised her hands. No way, my dear wife, there is nothing that Manman and I cannot tell you.

As he said this, he also winked at Wilhelmina.

Wilhelmina quickly followed, Yes, yes, mom, dad and I didn't whisper! Mom and I are the closest!

Zoe snorted, her eyes curled up, Don't think I don't know what you father and daughter are doing secretly behind my back.

Their interactions are natural as a family has been close for more than two decades.

[Wow, I feel like the evil woman who broke up this family. 】

The three people present were stunned.

Chapter 5

Zoe's face turned pale for a moment, and she tightened her arm around Taylor, Bertha, mother has never thought of...

Wife! Bertha interrupted Zoe in time.

Zoe's lips trembled and she looked at Bertha helplessly.

Taylor quickly glanced at the three people with strange expressions. His back instantly tensed up, and the lazy temperament on his body disappeared instantly. The air was filled with a tense feeling ready to explode...

Just a moment.

Before Zoe and Wilhelmina could react, Bertha felt tiny goose bumps crawling up his arms, and the knife-like air suddenly relaxed.

Taylor leaned on the stair railing as if he had no bones, his eyes fixed on the carvings on the railing.

[Wow, this flower carving is very beautiful. ]

Whatever the three members of the Tan family think, it’s none of her business. She needs to get rid of this bad habit of seeing enemies everywhere.

Taylor glanced at the skirt she was wearing and said tsk in her heart. This fluffy gauze skirt was too good for her. Next time, she should wear something that doesn't allow her to move her legs wide. The fishtail skirt feels good, and the high heels should be two or three centimeters higher.

Thinking about it, Taylor said bluntly, Mom, didn't you say we were going to buy a skirt? Should we leave now?

Zoe dazedly withdrew her gaze from the stair railing and was about to agree -

No hurry. Bertha interrupted her, showing a fatherly smile, I have arranged a physical examination for our family this afternoon. Let's go shopping after the physical examination.

Zoe gave Bertha an odd look.

Physical examination?

These two words went around in Taylor's mind. She said indifferently, Okay, but I have to change my clothes first.

Indeed, Taylor's little dress is not suitable for a physical examination at all.

Thinking of this, not only Taylor, but also the three members of the Tan family changed into loose and light clothes.

Unexpectedly, when Taylor came out half an hour later, she had changed out of her blue-gray dress, but she had changed into a more inconvenient palace-style tight-fitting black floor-length fishtail dress, which she wore around her neck. Wearing a very long pearl necklace that was circled three times, she was graceful and graceful as she walked towards the crowd with three unsteady steps——

Okay, let's go.

Taylor originally wanted to change her hairstyle and get a manicure, but after all, it was the first family group activity, so she decided, for the sake of her seven-figure pocket money, to restrain herself and cooperate with others.

Love and peace in her heart, she is such a good person.

The corners of Bertha's eyes trembled, and she was about to speak, but Zoe held her down. She glared at Bertha, as if to say, as long as her daughter is happy, it doesn't matter what clothes the girl wears.

Bertha resisted the urge to lecture.

Whose little girl changes 3 sets of clothes in one day and they are all dress-style? How did his biological daughter grow up? Did she wear dresses as regular clothes as soon as she found out her family was rich?

Taylor didn't pay attention to Bertha's black face. In order to go out, she changed into a pair of super stiletto 13-inch high heels with a special ritual . In order to walk well on these high heels, she had spent all her attention.

**

After the group arrived at the private hospital owned by the Tan family, they walked through the special VVIP channel.

Taylor, on the other hand, took a special passage among special passages. To put it simply, she and the Tan family of three parted ways to undergo a series of physical examinations alone.

In this regard, Bertha's explanation is——

We have had regular physical examinations over the years. This time, we only need to check a few key items. Betha, you just came back, so you should still go for a comprehensive physical examination so that your parents can rest assured.

Taylor didn't care, Okay.

First of all, she wasn't the kind of girl who needed someone to accompany her for a physical examination. Secondly...

Those abilities that are not within the scope of human beings have long been lost. Even if they are still there, the hospital machines probably can't detect them.

The hospital arranged a personal nurse for Taylor. When the nurse with a friendly smile saw Taylor's outfit, which looked like he was going to attend a fashion week, even though she was well-trained, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Many VIP clients dress up for physical examinations, but it is rare to see someone as grand as Taylor.

"Hello, Miss Tan. Shall I take you to change
