Chapter 1 - 1-thanks grandpa

Mo Yourou had been raised her entire life in the Tang family. When she turned 18, she discovered she was not actually a Tang daughter. Her surname was Mo, and according to what the Tang family told her, her real family was just a bunch of poor merchants.

It all began when Mo Yourou was still 17 and a girl with frightened eyes entered their home. This was Tang Yueran. At first, she was introduced as a guest. Back then, she still carried the surname Mo, so she was Mo Yueran. The cheerful Tang Yourou didn't notice anything — or at least pretended not to. She pretended not to see how the Tang family treated this "simple guest" whom they claimed to have met by chance.

Then, on the eve of her birthday, she overheard what she thought was her mother, Mrs. Tang, talking to Tang Zhimei.

"Zhimei, the results are in. Mo Yueran is our daughter, she's a Tang."

"And what about Tang Yourou?" he asked.

"She's a daughter of the Mo family, but not the same Mo family we know. She belongs to the wealthiest Mo family in the country. Her father is Master Mo, and her brothers are Mo Yesi, Mo Chen, and Mo Shixiu. They lost her 18 years ago when she was kidnapped at birth. All this time, they've been looking for her. It seems it was the second son's wife — the old matriarch's daughter-in-law — who abandoned her and somehow swapped her with our child."

"So what will we do?"

"Obviously we're not telling her the truth. Because of that idiot aunt of hers, we spent 18 years without our daughter. We'll just say she's the daughter of the poor Mo family that Tang came from."

"You're right. Let's do it. From now on, we only have one daughter: Tang Yueran."

Mo Yourou had never been so grateful to overhear a conversation. The next day, when on her birthday they announced they'd found the "true heiress" and told her the lie, she played along. She said she wanted to go to her biological parents' home. When they offered to help, she quickly dismissed it, saying she would visit a friend first.

She left the Tang house and went straight to a house that was in her name — that's right, her very own house. She wasn't ready to go to the Mo family yet. First, she needed to find out what challenges awaited her there.

Almost no one knew that Mo Yourou was a top-tier hacker. In no time, she had gathered all the information she needed.

"The Mo family…" she whispered.

Mo Yesi, 28, single, an actor. Sharp, quick to understand things. Already knew it was his aunt who made his sister disappear and hated her for it.

Mo Chen, 25, single, CEO of Mo Group. Imposing, a genius. Also knew the truth like his brothers. Desperately searching for his sister, the most explosive of them.

Mo Shixiu, 20, e-sports player, skilled hacker. He was the one who discovered the aunt's betrayal. Like his brothers, eager to find his sister and take revenge on anyone in their way. Has mild autism.

Master Mo, knew his daughter-in-law was behind his daughter's disappearance but did nothing yet, fearing retaliation against the girl. Hated her deeply. Loved his four children and was very fond of the adopted daughter, though the brothers disliked her, sensing she wanted to take their sister's place.

Mrs. Mo, missed her daughter every day. Her sons were her joy and reminded her that her daughter would come back. Hated her sister-in-law and plotted revenge. Took care of the adopted daughter to ease the pain, but sometimes suspected the girl.

Old Matriarch, loved her granddaughter and dreamed of seeing her one day. Like the others, knew who had kidnapped the girl and hated her for it. Disliked the adopted granddaughter, who tried to manipulate everyone.

Old Master, the true head of it all, knew more than anyone. Always knew where his granddaughter was but waited until she was old enough to protect herself and learn the truth. Had already taken revenge on his son's wife — no one even noticed her disappearance. His second son was his only ally, since he was the one who discovered and reported Mo Yourou's whereabouts.

Mo Yucheng, second son, his father's confidant. The person who hated that woman most in life. Always watched Mo Yourou from afar, taking photos so he could later show his brother and sister-in-law. Wanted a chance to be happy in love.

After Mo Yourou learned all this, she chose not to look up anything about the girl trying to take her place. She was happy to have such a good grandfather. He had protected her silently for 18 years until she was old enough to defend herself and return home. This time, she felt it was finally time.

She took a taxi and gave the driver the Mo family's address. Soon, she arrived at a gated community, got out of the taxi, walked to the guardhouse and said:

"I'm looking for the Mo residence. I'm Mo Yourou, the missing daughter. Could you take me there?"

The guards looked at her, seeing how certain she was, speaking as if she truly knew the Mo family had a lost daughter. Seeing also how much she resembled Mrs. Mo and her sons, they called the Old Master directly. When he heard, he asked to speak with her.

"Give me proof that it's really you!"

"Thank you for protecting me all these years, grandpa."

She handed the phone back to the guard. Immediately, they heard the Old Master say:

"Bring my granddaughter home."

Surprised, the guard simply obeyed, taking her to the Mo family house. He fetched a car, opened the door for the young lady, and drove her there.
