Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

If Feng Ruo was innocent, then wasn't Kathryn just as innocent?

What angered Feng Yue the most wasn't just that her daughter had been switched at birth-it was that the people who took her didn't even treat her well. If they had shown her daughter just a little kindness, she wouldn't have hated them so much.

Other people's daughters grew up spoiled, surrounded by wealth and luxury, while her own daughter suffered abuse and was nearly sold off. How could any mother not be filled with hatred after learning the truth?

Zheng Hua's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Ah Qing, you're about to get your marriage certificate. I assume you've already set the date. Don't let Dad hold you up-just hurry up and give me the betrothal money. Once you do, I'll head back home immediately."

"I won't come looking for you again this year."

Kathryn scoffed internally.

Once she got married and moved away from Jiangcheng, her father would have a hard time finding her. He wouldn't see her unless she wanted him to.

She looked at him coldly. "Isn't the betrothal money supposed to be for me? Traditionally, when a woman gets married, the money belongs to her. I didn't even ask my dad for a dowry, so how does he have the nerve to demand my betrothal money?"

When parents are financially stable, they don't take their daughter's money-they give it back to her. But I'm already
