She pushed Xu Yanlai away, stepped back a few paces, and coldly told her, “Mrs. Jiang, you’ve mistaken the wrong person! I am not your daughter, your daughter’s na is Jiang Siyou, and my na is Ye Xingbei! I have nothing to do with you, I ca today to see my grandfather.”
Xu Yanlai paused, forcibly wiping the tears from her eyes, crying as she said, “Child, are you still blaming your parents? Youyou is soone else’s child who got swapped, you are the biological daughter of your father and ! You are the one I carried and gave birth to. This… your grandfather explained it to you six years ago. We still have the paternity test from back then; it cannot be wrong!”
“Really?” Ye Xingbei looked at her, raising an eyebrow in a cold, sarcastic smile, “Cannot be wrong?”
Xu Yanlai felt a flutter of unease at Ye Xingbei’s insinuating cold smile, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over her.
Could it be… Ye Xingbei already knew about that year’s incident?
No.
Impossible!
The Senior Master was afraid that the Xie family would co to take the child, so the matter of him sending Ye Xingbei to the second branch was known only to them and the doctor who treated Ye Xingbei.
The doctor who treated Ye Xingbei was given a hefty sum by the Senior Master to emigrate abroad with his family.
The only one who knew, took the money from the Senior Master and went abroad.
The baby swapping incident happened twenty years ago. How could Ye Xingbei possibly know sothing that happened so long ago?
As long as Ye Xingbei doesn’t know the truth, she would have the confidence to change Ye Xingbei’s mind.
After all, when the Senior Master had brought Ye Xingbei back to the Jiang family, she had especially yearned for the love of her biological mother and had done many things to please her.
It’s a pity, she hated Xie Qingyue.
Thinking that this was Xie Qingyue’s daughter, yet she had been asked to raise her and to share her inheritance when she grew up, she despised the idea so much that she took a chance and swapped her with Jiang Siyou.
She would rather raise an adopted daughter with no blood ties over Xie Qingyue and Jiang Zhengwei’s daughter!
Back then, she had done it very secretly. Besides Jiang Zhengxing, no one knew that Xie Qingyue’s daughter, Ye Xingbei, had been replaced with a girl bought from outside.
Until fifteen years later, the Senior Master suddenly found Ye Xingbei, who bore a striking resemblance to Xie Qingyue when he was outside.
Uncertainty growing in the Senior Master’s mind, he secretly investigated and found out the truth. Ignoring her and Jiang Zhengxing’s objections, he acknowledged Ye Xingbei as their daughter and brought her back into the Jiang’s family.
This matter stuck in their throats like a fishbone.
The sa sentence, they would rather raise a wild child with no blood ties than to raise Jiang Zhengwei and Xie Qingyue’s daughter!
So, they agreed to Jiang Siyou’s proposal, took advantage of Senior Master’s illness and unconsciousness, bribed Bai ngluan, forced Bai ngluan’s unwanted child on Ye Xingbei, frad her for misconduct and chaotic personal life, and drove her out of the Jiang family.
By the ti the Senior Master’s health improved, Ye Xingbei had disappeared.
The Senior Master sent people to search for a long ti but couldn’t find her.
Even though the Senior Master was angry, among his three sons, only Jiang Zhengxing was left now. No matter how angry, he could do nothing more than just scold, not even dare to beat.
They were fearless, due to their backing.
Originally, they thought they had completely got rid of the nightmare that is Ye Xingbei.
But they didn’t expect the Gu family to suddenly propose a marriage alliance with their daughter.
Neither Jiang Siyou nor Jiang Lingyu wanted to beco widows, and the Jiang family indeed needed to ally with the Gu family.
Jiang Siyou then ca up with a plan to bring back Ye Xingbei and marry her to Gu Junzhu.
In her mind, after all, Gu Junzhu was a dying man who wouldn’t live much longer. The Senior Master Gu was also old. The Gu family’s affairs would be eventually governed by Gu Yuanfang.
Bai ngluan was her niece and is now Gu Yuanfang’s wife.
Gu Yuanfang is her nephew-in-law.
Once Gu Yuanfang becos the Family Head of the Gu family, what good days would a widow like Ye Xingbei experience in the Gu family?
Marrying Ye Xingbei to Gu Junzhu would save her daughter from becoming a widow while making Xie Qingyue’s biological daughter a widow, dood to live a lonely life. It was a win-win situation, so why not go for it?
And so, Ye Xingbei was cunningly married off to Gu Junzhu..
