HBWMA -Chapter 198 Who Am I?

Sunlight shimmered with rainbow halos. Two imposing educational buildings stood facing each other from a distance. Students in the Decai Building were already immersed in intense study, while the Yingcai Building was filled with students chatting and chasing each other around, radiating a relaxed, carefree atmosphere.

Jiang Huashan and Fu Sui’er were talking and laughing when they walked out from under the wisteria trellis. Ahead, they saw a dense crowd gathered around something. Su Miao stood in the center, clutching a piece of paper in her arms, her expression furious.

As they got closer, they heard Su Miao pointing at an unremarkable girl in front of her and scolding her harshly.

“Are you blind? There’s such a wide path and you still ran into me—what is wrong with you?”

The girl being scolded didn’t even dare to lift her head, while her friend beside her kept apologizing repeatedly.

“I’m sorry! We were carrying too many things and didn’t notice. We’ve already picked up your bag. We’re really, really sorry.” The girl’s friend bowed a full ninety degrees to Su Miao and handed the bag over with both hands.

Su Miao still looked furious. “Everything inside got scattered on the ground, and now you’re just handing me the bag like this? It’s filthy!”

The girl’s friend looked embarrassed. There was no way they could afford to compensate the Su family’s young lady’s bag. She could only force a smile and say carefully, “How about… we clean it for you?”

Jiang Huashan and Fu Sui’er exchanged a glance and walked around the crowd.

Seeing that Su Miao still wouldn’t let it go, the girl’s friend turned awkwardly to the girl beside her. “Su Yun, what do we do?”

Jiang Huashan’s steps paused slightly. She turned her gaze toward the crowd. The girl called Su Yun was wearing oversized sportswear, with braided pigtails and blunt bangs. She also wore thick, unfashionable black-rimmed glasses.

Su Yun looked up at Su Miao and bowed slightly. “I’m sorry. I really didn’t do it on purpose just now.”

As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, Su Miao became even more irritated. Why were they all gathering around her? Did they think she was some kind of spectacle?

She was about to lash out again when she suddenly spotted Jiang Huashan outside the crowd.

Her expression immediately darkened. She snatched her bag back and snapped, “What are you all looking at? So free, huh?”

After shouting, she pushed through the crowd and walked straight past Jiang Huashan without even lifting her eyes.

Fu Sui’er looked at Su Miao’s back. “What was she holding against her chest?”

Jiang Huashan shook her head, thoughtfully looking toward the gray, unremarkable girl in the crowd.

The future… a nationally renowned goddess shining brilliantly?

And the girl next to her—wasn’t that Zhao Tang? So the female lead and Zhao Tang already had connections?

The onlookers, seeing there was no more drama, gradually dispersed. Zhao Tang sighed and crouched down to help Su Yun pick up the scattered books.

“A-Yun, that was close. Why did you suddenly bump into the Su family young lady? Good thing she isn’t as picky as Fu Xiaoxiao, otherwise…”

Su Yun kept her head lowered, staring at the books in her hands without moving.

Zhao Tang noticed her strange behavior and paused, quickly changing the subject. “A-Yun, what’s wrong? You’ve been out of it since this morning.”

Su Yun blinked and snapped back to reality. She hugged the books casually. “Nothing. I probably just didn’t rest well.”

Zhao Tang still looked worried. “You—”

Su Yun interrupted her. “Let’s hurry up. The filming crew is still waiting. If we delay the progress, that young lady will probably throw another tantrum.”

“Alright.” Zhao Tang immediately shifted her attention and sped up her movements, muttering, “These rich young ladies really never stop making things difficult for people.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of hands—so fair they looked almost unreal, like something out of a manga—reached into her field of vision and casually picked up a book, tossing it into her arms.

Zhao Tang froze and looked up, only to meet a pair of peach blossom eyes shimmering like spring water.

Jiang Huashan?

This was someone even more untouchable than Fu Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Tang shivered violently in fear and instinctively hid behind Su Yun.

Ever since she had witnessed Jiang Huashan’s methods of dealing with people, Zhao Tang had been avoiding her at all costs, terrified that this “ancestor” would suddenly remember the earlier grievance and take revenge on her the same way she had dealt with Fu Xiaoxiao.

“What are you afraid of? I don’t bite.” Jiang Huashan clicked her tongue lightly and looked at Su Yun with a smile. “You’re Su Yun?”

Su Yun’s expression carried a hint of caution as she nodded slightly.

Jiang Huashan said, “Don’t be nervous. I just have a question I want to confirm.”

Su Yun asked, “What question?”

Jiang Huashan said, “Did you deliberately bump into Su Miao just now?”

Su Yun froze for a moment, quickly reacting, and immediately shook her head. “No, I was distracted. I accidentally bumped into her.”

Jiang Huashan smiled faintly. “Got it.”

Just when Su Yun thought she would ask more, Jiang Huashan tilted her head, waved at her, then turned back to her companions and left without another word.

Su Yun suppressed her racing heartbeat. For some reason, when Jiang Huashan smiled at her just now, she felt as if the other girl had already seen through everything.

Because she had indeed done it on purpose.

It was because… she felt she had accidentally discovered a recording on Su Wanzhu’s phone.

Su Wanzhu had never come to school for award ceremonies, yet that day she had made an exception. That alone had already raised Su Yun’s suspicion. After returning home, she secretly observed Su Wanzhu, and indeed, the woman began revealing more and more flaws.

For example, she was gambling with increasingly large stakes, even daring to borrow from loan sharks. At first, Su Yun only suspected that this woman might once again be planning to sell her off to someone.

To prepare herself, Su Yun waited until Su Wanzhu was dead drunk and secretly searched her phone.

She had only intended to find out how much she might be sold for this time, but instead discovered an encrypted recording.

This wasn’t the first time she had searched Su Wanzhu’s phone, so she had already figured out the password.

Given Su Wanzhu’s personality, if the recording was encrypted, it must contain something unspeakable.

Afraid of being discovered, Su Yun secretly sent the recording to herself and deleted all traces of the transfer. Only after erasing the evidence did she slip back into her room.

That night, curled up under her blanket, Su Yun listened to the recording—and felt like her entire world collapsed.

At first, she only thought Su Wanzhu was planning yet another scheme to abandon her. She never expected it to involve a shocking secret about switched identities.

But then one sentence in the recording made her collapsing world suddenly regain light.

“Alright, since we have nothing more to discuss, I’ll go find Madam Su. I’m sure she’ll be very interested in who her biological daughter is.”

Madam Su’s biological daughter?

A strange thought began to form in Su Yun’s mind—could it be her?

Over the years, Su Wanzhu had treated her with extreme cruelty, so much so that she often wondered whether Su Wanzhu was even her real mother.

What if she wasn’t?

What if her life had truly been stolen?

The recording also mentioned that Su Wanzhu had given Su Miao a strand of hair for a DNA test. Coincidentally, Shen Qingyu’s fight at Yingcai Building with Guan He had caused a huge stir, with rumors spreading that Gu He had taken Su Miao and Jiang Huashan to skip school and got beaten because of it. From this, Su Yun inferred that Su Miao might have gone to the hospital.

After hearing the recording, she spent the entire night tossing and turning. The moment she saw Su Miao in the morning, she lost control and bumped into her without thinking.

She desperately wanted to know the truth.

Who was she, really?

Was her life being stolen…?
