The truth was right before her eyes. Gu Ruochu realized that her guess was correct. It was too crazy and unbelievable, yet the evidence was right in front of her.
Her name was particularly eye-catching on the adoption certificate. Gu Ruochu's heart suddenly sank. She did not know what to feel.
Gu Ruochu realized that she was the girl that Zhou Yunxi had adopted.
Gu Yanwei was Zhou Yunxi's biological daughter.
The adoption certificate slipped from Gu Ruochu's hand. She felt dizzy and sat on a nearby stool. The truth was too much for her to handle, and she leaned against the table.
'Why is this happening?'
Gu Ruochu did not understand why Zhou Yunxi would treat her biological daughter as her adopted daughter.
Everyone thought that she, Gu Ruochu, was Zhou Yunxi's biological daughter. Even Gu Ruochu herself thought so. Thinking back to everything Jin Ye had said, Gu Ruochu suspected that his theory about her accident was also true.
Zhou Yunxi knew that she was not her biological daughter, but she had repeatedly made Gu Ruochu take the blame for many false things and endure a lot of pain. Her mother had treated her as a stepping stone for Gu Yanwei.
Gu Ruochu finally understood why Zhou Yunxi had been so harsh to her.
Zhou Yunxi was selfish and had used her to make Gu Yanwei's life more comfortable.
Gu Ruochu did not know if Zhou Yunxi had tortured her because she was jealous of her real parents.
Apart from finding the adoption certificate, Gu Ruochu also found a bank card. When she looked closely at the card, she saw that it had her name on it.
The bank card also looked familiar to her.
It seemed that she had used it frequently before the car accident. After her car accident, she had forgotten about the card since she did not have the original Gu Ruochu's memory.
Now that Gu Ruochu saw the card, she had a slight impression of it.
Her phone suddenly buzzed and interrupted her thoughts. She glanced at the screen and saw that it was Huo Nanchen. "Why are you calling me at this time?"
"Are you still on set?"
Gu Ruochu stroked her hair and looked around. "Yes. Have you gone home?"
"No. I'm still waiting for you to pick me up?" Huo Nanchen spoke in a casual manner, which left Gu Ruochu speechless.
"Stop fooling around. If you don't drive home, I'll call Uncle Wang to pick you up at the office." Gu Ruochu tried to remain calm, but her emotions were already starting to overwhelm her. "I'll hang up now. I'll call you when the time comes."
Huo Nanchen did not say anything, but he had no intention of hanging up the call. However, his breathing was a little heavy.
Gu Ruochu was just about to hang up when she heard him whisper, "What an ungrateful little wretch."
"..."
After hanging up, Gu Ruochu took the adoption certificate and went downstairs. Only then did she see Gu Qiang lying drunk in front of the second-floor door. She quickly stepped over him and went out of the house.
Gu Ruochu went straight to the hospital where Zhou Yunxi was yet to be released. She had not cleared her hospital bill, and she was working as the hospital's janitor until she paid off the debt.
Gu Ruochu stepped into the hospital with a calm expression on her face. Her coat was wrapped around her skirt, and her face looked elegant and noble.
A young female nurse saw her and immediately walked over with a smile on her face. "Mrs. Huo, how may I help you?"
"Hello. Is Zhou Yunxi off work?"
The nurse shook her head, "Mrs. Zhou will finish her shift at seven in the evening. Do you need me to call Mrs. Zhou over?"
"Yes. Thank you."
