After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Su Li's heart was beating fast. The photo and the document seemed like hot potatoes. She hurriedly stuffed them into the drawer. She rejected Gu Jinyan's concerns and inquiries with the excuse of being tired. At night, after Gu Jinyan fell asleep, Su Li got out of bed quietly. She opened the drawer and took out the photo and the document again. The woman in the photo had a striking resemblance to her, and the appraisal report was so overwhelming that she couldn't breathe.

Su Li could no longer deceive herself, she had to find the truth. She decided to start with the woman in the photo - Lin Wan. With faint clues, she began to trace Lin Wan's past. During the day, she went out for various reasons, running around the library, archives, and even found the hospital where Lin Wan gave birth.

After a few days, Su Li looked much more haggard, but her efforts were not in vain. She found a yellowed medical record from the hospital's archives, which recorded the information of Lin Wan's delivery, and the column for the child's father was written as "Gu Zhenhua" - Gu Jinyan's father, the founder of Gu Group! Su Li's fingers trembled, and she could hardly breathe. This medical record, plus the paternity test report, the truth was about to be revealed.

To further verify the facts, Su Li found the nanny who was responsible for taking care of Lin Wan. Although the old nanny's memory was a little fuzzy, she finally recalled some past events after Su Li's repeated questioning. "When Miss Lin Wan gave birth to the child, she was very weak, and Mr. Gu often came to the hospital to visit her. But later, Mr. Gu suddenly stopped coming, and Miss Lin Wan's spirit became worse and worse..." The nanny sighed when she said this, "Later, Miss Lin Wan left the hospital with the child, and there has been no news since then."

The nanny's words confirmed Su Li's guess. She was almost certain that she was Lin Wan's daughter, that is, the child of the Gu family! But why did Gu Zhenhua abandon Lin Wan and her daughter? Why did she end up in the Su family? Su Li's heart was full of questions. She decided to find Gu Zhenhua to ask clearly, but when she arrived at the Gu family's old house, she was told that Gu Zhenhua had passed away for many years.

Su Li stood in front of the door of the Gu family's old house, feeling that fate had played a huge joke on her. Just when she was in despair, a black car stopped in front of her. The door opened, and a majestic middle-aged man got out of the car. It was the head of the Gu family. "Su Li, come with me."

The head of the Gu family brought Su Li to the Gu family ancestral hall. The ancestral hall was solemn and majestic, with portraits of Gu family ancestors hanging on the walls and incense burning, adding a bit of majesty. Su Li had never set foot here before, so she felt a little uneasy.

"My child, you have suffered." The head of the Gu family spoke in a low and apologetic voice, a completely different person from before. He looked at Su Li, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes, "It is our Gu family's fault that you have been living outside for so many years..."

Su Li looked at the head of the Gu family in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly changed his attitude. The head of the Gu family sighed and told the story of Gu Zhenhua and Lin Wan. It turned out that Gu Zhenhua loved Lin Wan deeply, but was strongly opposed by the family. Lin Wan was of humble origin and was considered unworthy of the Gu family. Under tremendous pressure, Gu Zhenhua was forced to marry a wife of equal status, Gu Jinyan's mother.

"But your father never forgot Lin Wan." The head of the Gu family continued, "He placed Lin Wan in a secret residence and often visited her and the child secretly. But later..."

The head of the Gu family did not say anything more, but Su Li had already guessed the rest of the story. Something must have happened that caused Gu Zhenhua and Lin Wan and her daughter to lose contact.

"Child, you are the real Miss Gu." The head of the Gu family held Su Li's hand, his eyes full of love, "From today on, you will return to the Gu family, and I will seek justice for you."

The news soon reached the ears of the representative of the marriage family. He had originally hoped to gain the support of the Gu Group through the marriage, but now that Su Li's identity had changed, the marriage was naturally hopeless. His face turned pale, and he angrily threw the documents in his hand on the table, "I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing! It seems that we have to reconsider our partners..."

Su Li returned to the Gu family villa with mixed feelings. She pushed open the bedroom door and saw Gu Jinyan sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face and no words.

"You know everything?" Su Li asked softly.

Gu Jinyan slowly raised his head, his deep eyes locked tightly on Su Li, and he opened his thin lips slightly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Su Li bit her lip and was about to explain when she heard hurried footsteps at the door, followed by a strange voice, "Li'er, my Li'er..."

A thin woman with a charming demeanor appeared at the door. With tears in her eyes, she stroked Su Li's cheek with trembling hands, "Li'er, my Li'er, it's really you..."

Su Li looked at the woman in front of him, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in his heart. He could vaguely see some of himself in the woman's eyes and eyebrows. Needless to say, the bond of blood has surpassed everything at this moment.

"Mom..." Su Li choked and threw herself into the woman's arms.

The scene of mother and daughter recognizing each other moved everyone present. Gu Jinyan watched this scene quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had always thought that Su Li was just an adopted daughter of the Su family, but he didn't expect that she was actually his...sister?

"Back then, I was forced by my family to leave your father." Su Li's mother Lin Wan burst into tears, "Later, I learned that your father had married someone else. I thought he really had a change of heart, so I took you away from home. Over the years, I have been living in regret and self-blame..."

"No, it's not your fault." Su Li held her mother's hand tightly and comforted her, "You are also a victim."

Lin Wan shook her head and looked at Gu Jinyan, "Jinyan, I was sorry to your mother and you back then. Can you forgive me?"

Gu Jinyan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Let the past be the past. Now, the most important thing is that our family can be reunited."

Lin Wan nodded with relief, and looked at Su Li with eyes full of love, "Li'er, you have suffered."

Su Li shook her head and snuggled in her mother's arms, feeling the long-lost maternal love.

Gu Jinyan looked at this warm scene in front of him, and a strange feeling came over him. He found that his feelings for Su Li seemed to be more than just a brother-sister relationship...

"Ahem..." The head of the Gu family coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room, "Now that the truth has been revealed, we should hold a banquet for Li'er and officially announce her identity to the outside world!"

"Banquet?" Su Li was a little confused.

"Of course!" The head of the Gu family said with a smile, "You are the only bloodline of the Gu family, so you must return to the family in glory!"

Su Li wanted to say something, but Gu Jinyan held her hand. He looked into her eyes and said word by word: "Li Li, you deserve the best."

Su Li looked into Gu Jinyan's deep eyes, and ripples appeared in her heart...

The Gu family villa was brightly lit, with elegant people in fine clothes and clinking glasses. A grand banquet was in progress. The guests were all well-known figures in City A. They gathered here for only one thing - the daughter of the Gu family who had gone missing many years ago had returned.

Su Li wore a moon-white dress, with her long hair tied up, revealing her slender white neck, and she looked elegant and noble. Gu Jinyan wore a black suit, with an upright figure and a faint smile on his handsome face, standing next to Su Li, like a perfect couple.

"Everyone," the head of the Gu family stood on the steps and said in a loud voice, "Today, I want to introduce someone to you. She is my granddaughter, Gu Suli!"

Thunderous applause suddenly broke out from the audience, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Li, with curiosity, inquiry, and blessings. Su Li smiled generously and greeted them, showing the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

"Lili, come here." Gu Jinyan took Su Li's hand and brought her to the crowd. "From today on, you are the only eldest daughter of the Gu family. No one can bully you or hurt you."

Su Li's heart warmed, and she turned to look at Gu Jinyan, her eyes sparkling with crystal light.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak with Su Li's return. Representatives of the married families came forward to congratulate her, their words full of awe for the Gu family and recognition of Su Li. The head of the Gu family was even grinning from ear to ear, as if he was ten years younger.

"Jin Yan," the head of the Gu family patted Gu Jin Yan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Li Li is back, you have to treat her well, understand?"

Gu Jinyan nodded slightly, his deep gaze always remaining on Su Li. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of Lili."

Su Li's heart trembled when she heard this, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Jinyan. The gentleness and determination in his eyes made her a little lost, and also made her look forward to the future life even more. However, at this moment, Gu Jinyan suddenly approached her, opened his thin lips, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "Li Li, I have something to tell you..."
