Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!-Chapter 1586: Disgraced Heiress vs Rising Mistress (Part 11)

She followed this man for over twenty years without a name or status.

It’s not like she’s never faced the strange looks from people around her; her daughter used to cry and ask why she didn’t have a dad.

She endured it all.

Finally, after waiting for more than half of her life, she outlasted that woman, Liu Qinghe.

She thought she’d finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, yet she didn’t expect that while she did enter the Chong family...

It was only as an unacknowledged mistress.

Her Wenwen also entered the Chong family, but couldn’t become Chong Minggang’s daughter.

If this is the outcome, then what was the purpose of waiting twenty years?

To put it bluntly, after twenty-some years, no matter how deep the love once was, it’s now mostly worn away.

What An Yan seeks now isn’t that vague, unreliable love.

What she wants is something tangible that can bring her identity and status, recognition, and benefits.

But if things remain in this awkward situation, should Chong Minggang meet any mishap in the future, the Chong family wealth will completely belong to Chong Yuji.

It would have nothing to do with her as the nameless mistress, nor with Wenwen as an outsider.

How could An Yan accept such a result?

At this moment, Chong Minggang, upset by his daughter, took it all out on her.

An Yan isn’t feeling this disparity in status for the first time.

If she were Chong Minggang’s legitimate wife, she could rightfully use words and actions to demand the respect she deserves.

But she’s not; she’s just an unacknowledged mistress.

She can’t anger Chong Minggang because doing so might lead to him dismissing her in a rage.

Once in such a state, it would truly mean losing everything.

So she can only endure, welcoming reproach with a smile.

An Yan told herself, she’s endured over twenty years.

Now that Liu Qinghe has been outlasted by her, what else can’t she endure?

Chong Yuji, the eldest miss of the Chong family, so what? Just a spirited young girl.

She now throws tantrums relying on her status and Chong Minggang’s indulgence.

Once she becomes Madam Chong...

Coldness flashed in An Yan’s eyes—she has a hundred ways to make her suffer losses without knowing the source of the trouble.

Seeing An Yan’s timid demeanor, Chong Minggang also realized his tone wasn’t good.

After all, she’s a woman aggrieved for over twenty years because of him, and Chong Minggang has a bit of first love sentiment for An Yan.

He pulled An Yan up, sighed, and said, "Don’t blame me; I just got too angry. You tell me, Wenwen, knowing Zhong Sheng is Yuji’s boyfriend, why did she do such a thing?"

An Yan knew Zhong Sheng, the eldest young master of the Zhong Corporation, is a rare and ideal suitor.

Her Wenwen couldn’t ask for a better match, yet Chong Yuji discarded him as if he was nothing.

An Yan gently closed her eyes, leaned against Chong Minggang, and tentatively said, "I think... Young Master Zhong seems quite fond of Wenwen; since Yuji doesn’t like him, why not?"

A long silence followed.

An Yan uneasily opened her eyes and met Chong Minggang’s probing gaze.

She forced a smile and said, "What is it, Minggang?"

Chong Minggang’s face lost its smile, his gaze lowered: "An Yan, I remember telling you that even if I brought you and your daughter back, Wenwen and Yuji are not the same."
