Different from the heroines in romance novels, she was the billionaire who proposed to her dream love. She even took him away without his agreement after he turned her down. When he was overwhelmed by rumors, she stood up with top publicists and announced to the public that she was his wife. All the women in the city were envious of her because she married the charming CEO. However, she was not a Cinderella but a true legend. The teacher of the top doctor in the world was her student, and the powerful four families were her descendants... In front of her husband, she was just a sweet wife.
It was already dawn, but the sky was still dark. The thick fog overwhelmed the surroundings, making the road misty and reduced visibility to almost zero.
On Ten Square Mountain, thirty miles away from Imperial City, a black car was waiting outside a simple bamboo house. An old man in a gray robe stood in front of the car, looking in the direction of the bamboo house expectantly.
All of a sudden, his bleary eyes got wet. He knelt down in front of the bamboo house with his body trembling, put his hands on his forehead, and bowed devoutly.
"I'm Jordy Qin, the eighty-fourth generation of the Qin family. Welcome back, Ma'am."
A woman walked out of the bamboo house in light steps. She was wearing an exquisitely designed gray cheongsam, and her hair was tied into a simple bun. It perfectly outlined her figure. This was Ansley Luo.
She had delicate facial features, and her skin that glowed in the faint cold light of the foggy mountain forest was as smooth as milk. She was like a fairy who came to the mortal world. Her ethereal beauty could fill people with awe.
"Get up," she said in a voice that was even more ethereal in this quiet mountain.
Jordy trembled and stood up. Looking at Ansley Luo's face that hadn't changed in the past sixty years, tears filled his eyes.
"Ma'am, you are finally awake."
Ansley glanced at Jordy and noticed the car behind him. It was a new model that she had never seen before.
Then she asked, "What year is it now?"
Jordy followed the direction of Ansley's gaze and replied quickly, "Ma'am, we are now in the 21st century. It's the year 2020."
'The 21st century? I can't believe that my slumber was trans-century, ' Ansley thought inwardly.
Ansley didn't know how long she had lived in this world. It seemed that her lifespan was as long as heaven and earth, or even longer. It seems that she was destined to follow a man's footsteps. When that person was alive, she would wake up. But when that person died, she would fall asleep.
The last time she fell asleep was sixty years ago, and she had already forgotten how the person died. All she could remember was that after his death, she left the Luo family alone, hid in the remote mountain, and went into a deep slumber.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years had passed. The seal on that person's body had been removed, and she was awake once again.
"Have you found him?" Ansley Luo asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, he is the third son of the Yan family in Imperial City. His name is Wilson Yan," Jordy replied and bowed to her.
"Okay. Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Jordy Qin hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door for Ansley.
"Ma'am, please."
After they both got in, the black Maybach then drove down the winding mountain road.
While in the car, Ansley Luo closed her eyes to rest.
When she woke up, Jordy Qin asked, "Ma'am, are we going to the Luo family this time as well?"
"Yes."
"Why do you go to the Luo family every time after you wake up? Our Qin family has been protecting you for generations. Won't it be more convenient for you to live with us?" Jordy said cautiously.
"Their surname is Luo," Ansley Luo replied.
Jordy was rendered speechless. 'She always wanted to go back to the Luo family just because they had the same surname? They are so lucky, ' Jordy thought.
He looked at her. Seeing that she was reticent to talk about her personal life, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The car jolted along the rough and wet roads through the mountain forest and finally arrived in Imperial City. Ansley asked Jordy to directly send her to the Luo family's villa.
Jordy was reluctant to leave, but Ashley insisted on sending him away. Then she stood in front of the Luo family's villa, scanned it with her eyes, and muttered, "This house is a little small, but the location is good. I can make do with it."
She was lost in thought when a middle-aged man suddenly bumped into her.
"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" The man apologized again and again.
Ansley glanced at him and said indifferently, "I'm fine."
The middle-aged man took a quick look at the piece of paper in her hand and left in a hurry.
Ansley watched the man's receding back. Then she slowly walked to the gate of the Luo family's villa with a trace of coldness and seriousness in her eyes.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had disappeared from her sight poked his head out behind the bushes. Then he took out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Hello, editor-in-chief! All my efforts are not in vain this time. This news is going to hit the headlines and will definitely generate great publicity. We stand to make a lot from this." His voice was low, but it was hard for him to stifle his excitement.
He came to this area where many rich and powerful people lived to try his luck. And he didn't expect to discover such startling news. The piece of paper in that woman's hand was actually a result of a paternity test.
And it was such big news! The middle-aged man had been a paparazzo for half his life, but he had never been this excited. He was so thrilled that he even spluttered.
Ansley walked into the Luo family's villa without knowing that she had already been targeted.
She stood at the door and looked down at the paternity test result that Jordy Qin gave her. A trace of helplessness flashed through her cold eyes. She didn't expect that this piece of paper could determine blood relationships nowadays.
She then stretched out her other hand and rang the doorbell.
The early morning, Eddie Luo called all the members of the Luo family back. When everyone gathered around, he looked at the woman leaning against the sofa with a trace of dismay.
"Dad, I still have to go to the company. What's so important that we had to be here?" Being called back so early in the morning, Andres Luo, the second son of the Luo family, was very dissatisfied. Although he was over fifty years old, he was still a feckless and irresponsible man. It was not surprising that he showed little respect for his father.
Eddie glared at him and said crossly, "Andres, don't you know what you've done outside? How dare you question me now!" Eddie was a composed man, and he rarely lost his temper.
But why did he scold Andres in front of an outsider? What was wrong with him? And what did he mean by what he said just now?
"Dad, if you have something to say, just say it." It seemed that Andres had no respect for Eddie Luo at all.
Eddie was not in the mood to argue with Andres Luo, so he just threw the paternity test result in his face.
"Open your damn eyes and take a good look."
As soon as Andres looked at the document, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he stuttered, "This... This can't be true. I don't even know who Ansley Luo is." He eagerly denied it while beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. He didn't dare to look at Cecelia Liu, his wife, who was next to him.
The smile on Cecelia's face froze when she looked at the paternity test result. Upon seeing that Andres and Ansley were ninety-nine percent related by blood, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.
The woman leaning against the sofa casually turned out to be Andres' daughter. His illegitimate daughter!
If Crosby Luo, Andres Luo's elder brother, and his family weren't here, she wouldn't have held back her anger. But she was afraid that Crosby and his family would mock them.
"Dad, this test result must be fake. She must only be coveting our family's wealth. I don't have a daughter. Cecelia, listen to me. I've never cheated on you." Andres threw the document on the floor and hurriedly coaxed Cecelia.
Seeing Andres and Cecelia's reaction, Crosby and his wife could roughly guess what was going on. However, they were not involved in this matter, so they didn't say anything. They just looked at the woman on the sofa opposite them.
The woman had skin as white as snow and eyes as clear as water. She was also graceful and elegant. It seemed that a delicious languor was stealing over her.
For some reason, they instinctively felt that she was unfathomable.
As they looked at how she managed to sit there leisurely in such a chaotic situation, they couldn't help but admire her a lot.
Andres resolutely refused to recognize Ansley as his daughter. Cecelia kept silent but pulled a long face while Eddie felt annoyed.
"Well, I'm just here to inform you," Ansley suddenly said in a low but clear voice. Everyone immediately quieted down upon hearing her words.
'What did she just say? She only came to inform us? How arrogant!' the people of the Luo family thought.
"Who the hell are you? You just marched into our house without so much as a by your leave. We don't even know where you've come from. I don't care whether the paternity test result is true or not. And even if it is true, the Luo family will not recognize you," Cecelia finally roared at Ansley with a flushed face. She couldn't contain her anger anymore.
But Ansley, who was playing with her nails, didn't even look at Cecelia.
Instead, she glanced at Eddie, who was sitting there obviously infuriated by Andres' behavior.
"Eddie, I will only give you one day,"
Ansley said before she stood up and left. Watching her receding figure, the members of the Luo family were in a daze. She was indeed unpredictable.
Seeing her leave, Andres became more unscrupulous. He cursed, "Who the hell is she? How dare her play tricks on me! Dad, this test result must be fake. If that bitch dares to show up again tomorrow, I will kill her!" He looked very vicious as he spoke.
A mere test result had dented Andres' reputation and caused the Luo family a mess. Eddie knew his son. Although Andres was unworthy, he wouldn't have the guts to do such a nasty thing.
"That's nonsense! Think about it carefully. Have you..."
"Dad, I haven't done anything!" Andres interrupted firmly.
Of course, Eddie was more willing to believe in his own son than in an outsider.
"Okay, I believe you. Don't just stand there. Go ahead with your work now." After sending them all away, he began to investigate the authenticity of the test result.
The girl looked so confident just now and didn't show even an ounce of fear, so he was afraid that she came well-prepared. He guessed that Ansley was doing this for the sake of money and power.
