Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

These words immediately caused an uproar in the live stream, with the chat flooded with comments.

[No way? Could it be a pig butchering scam?]

[If someone can even fake their parents' identities, what truth can they possibly have to tell?]

If we're discussing marriage in the future, are we going to have to hire people to impersonate our parents? That's terrifying to think about!

Chu Xia shook her head repeatedly, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Impossible, how could he lie like this? He and the woman in the photo look very similar, any outsider would think they are mother and son."

"Has your boyfriend already set off to pick up these 'parents' from the hotel?" Shen Jingshu asked calmly.

"That's right. He dropped me off at the private room on his way, since my company is close to the restaurant. He's going to pick someone up now, so he should be there soon."

"That initial elevator encounter was all part of his carefully planned scheme. I'll tell you the truth about him. He really did come from a small town in the south, and he got into university on his own merit. His biological parents were farmers all their lives. The people you're meeting today aren't his parents at all, but his aunt and uncle. They're related by blood, and he and his aunt look somewhat alike, so outsiders would naturally mistake them for mother and son at first glance."

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

My goodness, they directly asked their aunt and uncle to pretend to be their parents; that's incredibly cunning.

They deliberately concealed even their family background, showing they never intended to be honest from the start.

[This guy tried to fool everyone by using his resemblance to someone else, but his true intentions are impossible to hide.]

"Don't you understand? From the very beginning, his intentions when he approached you were not pure. He worked his way up from a small county town and knew in his heart that his family of origin could not provide him with any help. If he wanted to achieve upward social mobility, he had to find a partner from a wealthy family."

While working in the office building, he secretly observed the single women around him. The girls in his company were either already in relationships or their family backgrounds didn't meet his expectations. During lunch break that day, he overheard colleagues from the next department chatting about your designer bag, jokingly saying that the bag was worth a small apartment in a small town. He immediately set his sights on you.

Afterwards, he went to your company to investigate, confirming that you were single and came from a wealthy family, before meticulously planning that chance encounter in the elevator. For several days in a row, he waited in the elevator during your work hours. On that day, you were in a rush and almost late, which happened to fall into his trap. Countless subsequent coincidental encounters were all deliberately orchestrated by him.

Later, he confessed that the chance encounter was intentional, and you actually felt he was honest and devoted, developing a liking for him. But this was just a tactic he used to gain your trust.

The so-called parents who are here to meet you today are actually his aunt and uncle. He has a distant relationship with his biological parents. For six years, from junior high to high school, he lived with his aunt. His aunt had no children of her own and treated him as her own son. The two are related by blood and have similar features, so outsiders could easily mistake them for mother and son.

This meeting was also something he begged his aunt and uncle to do in a pretense. In his plan, he had been with his aunt and uncle for many years and they were like parents to him. In addition, he deliberately exaggerated his feelings for you and pointed out that your family was well-off. His soft-hearted aunt and uncle couldn't resist his pleas and agreed to cooperate in hiding the truth.

His plan was crystal clear: once you met these fake parents and developed a better impression of them, he could then conveniently visit your parents, finalize the marriage, and use your family's resources to achieve upward social mobility.

Chu Xia felt stiff all over after hearing this, her fingertips gripping the tablecloth tightly, her mind blank.

The live stream chat was filled with a dense barrage of warnings and messages.

[From beginning to end, every step was calculated; this wasn't love at first sight, but rather a calculated hunt targeting someone's assets!]

[They even find someone to impersonate their elders; they're inherently insecure and greedy—it's terrifying.]

【Miss, don't be soft-hearted. When he comes with his aunt and uncle, you must expose his lies.】

The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Chu Xia subconsciously turned her head to look, only to learn the whole truth. Her face was still pale with shock. She turned the phone she was holding around, pointing the camera directly at the door. All the viewers in the live stream saw three figures standing outside the door: two men and a woman.

The middle-aged woman and Zhang Wei did indeed share some resemblance in their features. An ordinary person meeting them for the first time would instinctively assume they were mother and son, and would never associate them with each other by blood.

Zhang Wei caught a glimpse of Chu Xia's pale face and immediately strode forward, his eyes filled with just the right amount of anxious tenderness. He reached out to help her, asking, "Xia Xia, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Looking at his feigned worry, Chu Xia felt a chill run down her spine, finding the man before her utterly terrifying. His words, so full of tenderness and affection, had been a carefully crafted lie from their first meeting to their time together and meeting each other's parents. Now, she dared not believe a single word he uttered.

She abruptly turned to the side, forcefully breaking free of his hand, and said calmly, "I'm fine."

Zhang Wei assumed she was just nervous meeting her elders for the first time and didn't think much of it. He smiled and eased the tension, saying, "Don't be nervous, Xiaxia. These are my parents. They're very easygoing and approachable."

After saying that, he turned to the two people beside him and introduced her with great enthusiasm: "Dad, Mom, this is Xiaxia, the girlfriend I often mention to you."

The aunt, who was pretending to be the mother, immediately stepped forward, adopting a kind and loving demeanor, and looked at Chu Xia affectionately: "You must be Xia Xia. Xiao Wei has been talking about you at home all the time. Today I finally meet you in person. Please sit down and don't be shy. Let's chat and eat like a family."

Chu Xia's gaze darted back and forth between her hypocritical aunt and Zhang Wei. Suddenly, she chuckled softly, her tone chillingly cold: "I'm not nervous at all. You're the ones who should be nervous, aren't you? I bet you've rehearsed countless times on the way here, figuring out how to conspire to deceive me."

As soon as Chu Xia finished speaking, the faces of her aunt and uncle, who were pretending to be her parents, turned pale instantly. Her aunt panicked and looked at Zhang Wei instinctively.

A flicker of guilt flashed across Zhang Wei's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, feigning confusion as he frowned. "Xiaxia, what nonsense are you talking about? When did we lie to you? What's wrong with you today?"

"Stop pretending, Zhang Wei. I know everything. From the very first time we met, every step you took was meticulously planned. You schemed and plotted to get close to me."

Hearing her mention the deliberately arranged encounter, Zhang Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his tone gentle and aggrieved: "I've already told you this before. I fell in love with you at first sight, which is why I went to the trouble of arranging the meeting. Ultimately, it's all because I like you. Don't throw a tantrum in front of my parents and make them laugh at us."
