1 The Real Daughter Returns Home

"Let's go," he said.

In front of a dilapidated thatched house, the beautiful Lu Ming was carrying a small package as she spoke to the middle-aged couple.

The thatched cottage was on the verge of collapse, and weeds had even grown on the roof of the thatched cottage. The stove was turned off in the dark central room, and a few wisps of green smoke floated out of the chimney.

Lu Ming's calm voice forced back Lu Yuan and his wife's tears.

Su Li choked on her sobs and let out a loud burp due to her daughter's calmness.

As she approached Su Li, Lu Ming could not help but frown. She could smell a fishy smell on her parents. Wizards had very sensitive noses. This faint, almost non-existent smell might be able to escape the noses of other Wizards, but it would definitely not escape her.

However, Su Li's expression changed. She immediately blamed herself and thought that her daughter must be unhappy that the couple had lost her.

Lu Yuan also noticed it. The husband and wife exchanged expressions, and both secretly made up their minds that when they returned, they would double the compensation for the daughter they found.

The two of them had only recently received a notice from the police. They learned that the nurse who had delivered Lu Ming back then was a psychopath with a dark heart. Over the years, she had switched over a hundred children one after another, and poor Lu Ming was one of them!

When the two of them found her, Lu Ming was already 17 years old!

However, Lu Ming did not take the matter of her being switched to heart. Her adoptive parents had also raised her as their own daughter. Even until their death, they did not know that their child had been switched!

It was just that her foster parents passed away early, and Lu Ming had been living the life of an orphan since she was six.

She had once read her fortune and knew that her parents' relationship with her was thin before she turned seventeen. Even if Lu Yuan and his wife found her, their luck would be affected. They would suffer from minor illnesses, serious injuries to their bones, and even lose their lives.

Hence, Lu Ming cast a small spell, which made Lu Yuan and his wife look for her only after she had celebrated her 17th birthday.

The few of them returned to the Lu family home in peace.

As soon as she entered, Lu Ming smelled that familiar fishy smell again, which was far stronger than the one she had smelled on her parents.

Lu Ming steadied her steps. Fine! Since they dared to play tricks under her nose, then they shouldn't blame her for being impolite!

Lu Yuan and his wife, who noticed that Lu Ming had stopped in her tracks, could not help but feel nervous again. Lu Xian and Lu Xiu, who had been waiting at the main entrance for a long time, also reacted.

"Sister, this is our house. Xian Xian and I have already prepared a room for you. Come and see if you like it."

The one who spoke was her older brother, Lu Xiu. He was three years older than the real and fake heiresses and was already in his second year of university.

Lu Xian had wanted to welcome Lu Ming as well, but then she laughed at herself.

The real daughter had returned. Wasn't it a little inappropriate for her, the fake daughter, to move forward?

"Hello, I'm Lu Ming."

However, Lu Ming extended her hand toward Lu Xian. Lu Xian looked at the slender and long hand in front of her and finally reached out to shake Lu Ming's hand.

"I'm your older sister, Lu Xian."

"Hey! Why is everyone ignoring me? I'm your big brother!"

Lu Xiu shouted and jumped up and down, causing Lu Yuan to pat his back and chide him for being improper. However, the slightly awkward atmosphere was finally broken.

"Lu Ming, you just got home. If you need anything, you have to tell us!" Su Li pulled Lu Ming's arm affectionately and led her to the living room.

"Oh, I'm short on money. If possible, please transfer some money to this account." Lu Ming's expression didn't change and her heart didn't skip a beat as she took out a bank card. The atmosphere that had just broken the ice immediately became awkward again.

Lu Yuan was speechless.

Su Li was speechless.

Lu Xiu was speechless.

Lu Xian was speechless.

After that, Lu Ming's phone beeped with a few text message notifications.

[100,000 yuan has been transferred into your bank card ending with 8899. Your balance is 100,000 yuan.]

[100,000 yuan has been transferred into your bank card ending with 8899. Your balance is 200,000 yuan.]

[50,000 yuan has been transferred into your bank card ending with 8899. Your balance is 250,000 yuan.]

[50,000 yuan has been transferred into your bank card ending with 8899. Your balance is 300,000 yuan.]

Looking at the 300,000 yuan that had been transferred to her account in an instant, Lu Ming finally put on a sweet smile. "Thank you, Dad, Mom, Brother, and Sister, for your donation to the charity. You guys are making me feel like I'm the kind of group pet in novels!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored the excited expressions on their faces and went upstairs by herself, accurately finding her own room.

Actually, Lu Ming wasn't really lacking in money. She was just lacking in good fortune.

Fortune was a divine product that depended on luck. However, since her original family was so rich, Lu Ming did not mind taking a shortcut.

Wizards could not have too much money. Their money came from society and they had to give it back to society. If they had too much money, it would damage their good fortune.

The account number she gave out was actually a charity account. As the custodian, she was only responsible for screening people who needed help and distributing the money.

Lu Ming's room was located on the second floor. It was decorated according to the most popular bedroom style for female high school students. However, the Lu family did not pay much attention to the atmosphere and the furniture was placed randomly.

The parquet flooring was light-colored, and the wallpaper was fresh. The furniture was all in a romantic French style, and there was a huge Disney doll on the bed.

Lu Ming looked around the room casually, but her gaze was suddenly attracted by a vase of flowers on the desk.
