Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Want to Take Him Down Right Now
Xi Huarong said, “I should be Type A blood; I got tested at the hospital when I had to give a relative a blood transfusion.”
Li Shirui said, “I’m Type B. I was there during the transfusion too, and I couldn’t donate because our blood types didn’t match.”
Xi Wanlin asked, “Then what blood type am I?”
The couple couldn’t answer; they had never had Xi Wanlin’s blood tested.
Xi Wanlin was actually curious. Since she was young, she’d heard people say she didn’t look like her parents and feared she might not be their biological child.
By chance, she was called by another female classmate to the hospital to have her blood tested because at that time, it was popular to predict fortunes by blood type and even match them, but many in her class didn’t know their own blood types.
When Xi Wanlin learned she was Type O blood, she was shocked beyond belief.
“Doctor, how could I possibly be Type O blood?” she asked.
Just then, that female classmate said, “Because your parents are Type O blood, so you are Type O blood too. What’s the problem? Honestly, I’m quite envious of your reincarnation skills.”
“Reincarnation skills?” Xi Wanlin asked.
“Isn’t it? Look at how high-ranking your dad is.”
At that moment, Xi Wanlin was shocked deep inside. Until then, she always saw herself as the precious daughter of the family. Though they weren’t incredibly wealthy, many rich people would try to ingratiate themselves with her father and please her, so she felt she could possess many things others wouldn’t achieve in a lifetime without any effort.
Just like this classmate, who came from a very wealthy family but always envied Xi Wanlin, always talking about how impressive her dad was.
Xi Wanlin thought, if she was not her parents’ biological child, what would that mean for her?
She didn’t dare to tell her family about her blood type but kept comparing her looks with her parents and realized she didn’t resemble them at all, except for having eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
Contrarily, her younger sister was often said to look like their dad.
Xi Wanlin also asked her mother, “Mom, do you think I could be a child you accidentally switched at birth?”
Li Shirui was very angry and forbade her from bringing it up again.
Later on, during a blood donation event, both her father and mother went to donate blood, and she saw their donation certificates — indeed, neither was Type O blood.
The school also organized blood tests later, some of which displayed blood types, and she was indeed Type O blood, but she never showed the reports to her parents.
She confirmed that she indeed was not the biological child of her parents.
But who was she really?
She didn’t dare to investigate further. Looking around Yun City, there were very few people with her father’s status. What if her biological parents were sanitation workers or construction laborers?
She couldn’t possibly be a martyr’s orphan either, because Li Shirui had mentioned several times how difficult her birth was, with severe bleeding, nearly resulting in death.
Her grandmother also said that her mother’s health significantly deteriorated after giving birth to her, eventually forcing her to quit her job.
She didn’t know what went wrong, but she knew that if she wanted to stay with her parents forever, she had to excel.
That’s why she started to study hard and aimed for excellence in everything since junior high.
She was genuinely afraid that one day, her parents’ biological daughter would come back, and she, a worthless adopted daughter, would be thrown out of the house.
Now, she was almost 30 years old.
She felt fortunate to have been able to stay in this family until the age of 30, having enjoyed all the resources the family could offer, and even under her parents’ matchmaking, she had found a fiancé who, though not quite a perfect match, was suitable for her.
As long as she got married, even if her parents’ biological daughter returned, she wouldn’t lose out.
But was Su Meixi the Xi family’s biological daughter?
In both domestic and international circles, Xi Wanlin had seen many who looked like their fathers or mothers. She didn’t dare mention it, but instead slowly made contact with them, only to eventually realize it was merely a coincidence.
These people also resembled someone else’s parents, perhaps only resembling her parents in certain features.
She blamed her own sensitivity.
But today, upon seeing Su Meixi, she couldn’t remain calm.
Su Meixi’s facial features were indeed exactly like Li Shirui’s, generically described as “carved from the same mold.”
…
Xi Wanlin was drinking one glass after another.
The bartender notified the bar owner, who soon arrived.
The owner, named Li Hengze, was around 30 years old, chubby and fair-skinned, with gold-rimmed glasses that gave him a naïve yet festive look.
“Why did you drink so much?” Li Hengze walked over, trying to embrace her.
She instinctively dodged, but after a while, she leaned on Li Hengze’s shoulder and said in a coquettish tone, “I was feeling down, so I came out to have a few drinks.”
Li Hengze, the fiancé of Xi Wanlin.
Hearing this, Li Hengze asked anxiously, “Why are you feeling down?”
“When I’m feeling down, I’m just down. Why ask so many questions?” Xi Wanlin moved away from his shoulder and took another sip of her drink.

Li Hengze reached out to stop her but hesitated.
In front of Xi Wanlin, he always felt like a younger brother.
Although she often spoke to him in a coquettish tone, he knew it was all an act.
He also knew that she was reluctant about their engagement; it was their parents’ decision, yet she still agreed.
Was it because of his family’s wealth?
His family was rich and held some status in Yun City, but compared to her father, they fell short.
Was it love?
Li Hengze himself didn’t believe it. Although many girls chased after him, he knew they were after his money, but what was Xi Wanlin after? She was not lacking in money herself.
As he pondered, Xi Wanlin leaned closer again.
Normally indifferent to him, today she seemed flirtatious. “Hengze, I think I’m getting drunk.”
“Then… should I take you home?”
“I want to go to your house.”
“My house?”
“The one in Hu Ban Bay.” That was the villa Li Family had bought for him to live in after their marriage.
Li Hengze couldn’t help but laugh, “We are engaged, isn’t that your house too?”
After saying this, he helped her up.
Xi Wanlin was 172 cm tall, and Li Hengze was only 175 cm; with her heels on, Xi Wanlin appeared even taller than him.
Fortunately, Li Hengze was chubby, so they still looked well-matched.
The bartender watched them leave and couldn’t help but remark, “It’s like fresh flowers on cow dung.”
…
At the Hu Ban Bay Villa.
After helping Xi Wanlin inside, Li Hengze had her sit on the sofa while he went to brew some hangover tea. Owning a bar and occasionally drinking with friends meant he always had such tea on hand.
After busying himself, he brought the tea over to her.
But he saw her staring at him intently, sending a shiver down his spine.
“Wanlin, what’s… what’s the matter?”
“Hengze, do you like me?” Xi Wanlin asked, then pulled him close by his collar.
“Of course, I—I’ve liked you since I was young.” Li Hengze didn’t know what she wanted to do; he swallowed nervously, feeling overheated.
Xi Wanlin glanced around the villa, thinking of the Li Family’s wealth.
She didn’t really love her fiancé. She was marrying him because she knew that even if the biological daughter of the Xi Family returned one day, she could still possess such wealth.
And Li Hengze, who was romantically naive, would definitely be loyal to her.
She decided she would secure him now.
