Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1110
Whether it was Serenity’s hometown or the neighboring villages, the young worked in the cities while only the older generation
stayed behind. The elderly could not do much farm work, so the fields were deserted. Since there was someone rich who wanted
to rent the fields from them, they would not refuse the opportunity to earn money.
Serenity and Jasmine were very pleased to hear this.
After Elisa finished updating them about the investment project, she looked at Serenity and hesitated a moment before saying,
“That was the good news. Time for the bad news. Seren, I also got someone to inquire about what your relatives were up to
while talking about contracting the land.”
“Everything they’ve done has been bad news. Just say it, Elisa. I’m prepared to hear whatever it is they’re doing recently. At
most, they hauled away the bricks, sand, and gravel and sold them.”
“The trucks of materials you sent to rebuild the house were still there. They were stacked properly untouched. Your relatives
didn’t try removing them or selling them.”
Serenity said, “It seems my threat against Noah worked.”
Noah was not his grandparents‘ favorite, but he had his own advantages as the youngest.
She told Noah to keep an eye out and not allow the Hunt family to move the materials she had delivered. Noah probably took it
as an order because he was terrified of her.
“Back then, you said that you’ll be filing a lawsuit to get your parents‘ house back. Although the two old ones don’t know much
about the law, the younger ones do. After they explained, your grandparents realized what a lawsuit meant. They know that they
won’t benefit from a lawsuit.”
Elisa continued, “Your grandparents were displeased, so they started spreading rumors in the village, saying that you and your
sister were not their biological granddaughters. Since you’re not biologically related, you have no right to compete for the family
property.”
Jasmine was speechless.

Serenity was stunned and then sneered. “They’re going that far? They said I’m not my father’s biological daughter? I take after
my father. The only way for Liberty and I not to be their biological grandchildren is if my dad wasn’t their biological son either.”
“The other villagers also said that you look like your father, and it’s impossible that you’re not his flesh and blood. They also said
that your parents had a good relationship when they were alive. Your mother would never have had an affair behind your father’s
back.
“So, the final version of the rumor they spread is–your father wasn’t their biological son. He was adopted. They said they raised
him and helped him marry and have children of his own when he grew up, so he owed them. Thus, after your father died, the
property he left behind, which was the house, should be given to them, his parents, instead.
Jasmine looked at her best friend sympathetically. How unlucky was Serenity to have such vile relatives? They sought nothing
but profit.
Serenity sneered. “Do they think they can take my parents‘ inheritance by spreading such rumors? That old man probably forgot
that out of all of his children, my father took after him the most. The others favor the old woman.”
The two elderly went too far. Serenity did not even want to call them her grandparents anymore.
Old Mr. Hunt was older now. His face was full of wrinkles, and he looked much more different than how he did when he was
young. However, Serenity took after her father, and her father took after Old Mr. Hunt. Thus, there was some facial resemblance
between Old Mr. Hunt and her.
“If he claims that my dad was adopted, then how will he explain their similar physical features? They’re really doing everything
they can to twist the facts. They even denied their relationship with their own son. Do they think they can get away with it
because my dad is no longer around?”
In fact, their spreading these rumors would not affect the outcome of the lawsuit. Whether Serenity and Liberty were their
parents‘ biological children, or whether their father was Old Mr. Hunt’s biological son had no effect on the verdict.
Her parents raised her sister and her for so many years. Even if they were not biologically related, they had a legal adoptive
relationship. Either way, the truth remains they were their parents‘ biological children.
The Hunt family spread such rumors because they wanted to use morality to get the sisters to voluntarily give up fighting for the
legacy left behind by their parents.
