Another one calling him ’brother’? Ye Shuai’s roommates looked at Ye Xiaoxiao and then at Yan Shanshan. Seeing Ye Shuai’s actions, they suddenly realized who the real one was.
Ye Xiaoxiao suspiciously glanced at Yan Shanshan. From afar, it seed like she was talking to her brother. How does her brother know Yan Shanshan? Rembering the reputation against her at the Affiliated Middle School, she couldn’t help but frown.
"Brother, do you know each other?"
"No, I don’t." Ye Shuai answered decisively.
Hearing his blunt words, Yan Shanshan, being just a twelve-year-old girl, couldn’t keep her expression calm.
"Brother, how can you not recognize ? I’m your real sister!" she said, almost breaking down.
Ye Shuai looked at her coldly, "I only have one sister, and that’s Xiao Xiao. Please stop saying things that cause misunderstandings."
"How can it be a misunderstanding? We are clearly siblings from the sa mother. We have blood ties! Are you going to deny this? Do you only recognize Ye Xiaoxiao? Is a sibling from the sa father really more important than one from the sa mother?" She nearly shouted as her voice grew louder, attracting more and more students around. Especially given the person in the center of all this was Ye Shuai, a prominent figure at the academy, it drew even more attention.
Ye Shuai’s gaze turned even colder, "I don’t know how you found , nor do I know where you heard those things, but my biological mother abandoned when I was three. All these years, it has been my current mom who raised single-handedly. Even back then, before leaving, my biological mother frad my father. Even if she ca herself, I wouldn’t acknowledge her, let alone a half-sister I don’t know from where."
Upon hearing this explosive revelation, the surrounding students gasped in surprise, then their expressions towards Yan Shanshan turned peculiar.
Yan Shanshan’s face turned unpleasant. At her young age, she didn’t know how to defend her mother. Eager to show her best side in front of Ye Shuai, she nervously said, "Mom realizes her mistakes now, and I was unaware of what happened back then. Brother, how can you bla ?"
Saying these words only made things worse, as the people around her began to view her even more critically. All of them were high achievers; none were confused. This girl’s logic seed odd. Her mother did such horrible things to her ex-husband, yet she hopes the person will recognize her? Plus, she only seems concerned with distancing herself, not speaking up for her mom at all?
"Realizes her mistakes?" Ye Shuai sneered sarcastically, "My parents and I incidentally ran into her before school started. At that ti, she was proud and arrogant. Not only did she not show the slightest concern for , whom she abandoned, but she was also worried I might cheat her out of money? What’s made her repent in such a short ti? I don’t think it’s out of genuine remorse. She probably realized my father’s current wealth and sent you to win over!"
When Ye Shuai put it like that, his classmates didn’t have many doubts. After all, they had observed Ye Shuai’s usual deanor. His manner and lifestyle certainly weren’t those of an average person. Not to ntion the clothes he wore, which cost tens of thousands, and the watch on his wrist, priced in the hundreds of thousands. Rumor had it he owned an apartnt off-campus, where property prices around Jing University were steep enough on their own. The Ye Family could easily purchase a house, showcasing their wealth.
Just not long ago, she ignored him and questioned his intents, and now she claims to realize her mistake? Maybe Ye Shuai is right; this might indeed reflect ill intentions!
"I..." Being stared at with such suspicion by so many, Yan Shanshan felt ashad and didn’t know what to do.
Ye Shuai still held so pity, or rather, he didn’t want to deal harshly with a young girl, so he said, "Go back, don’t co looking for anymore. I have no relation with your mom, and thus no relation with you."
"But you’re my brother! I’ve always wished to have an older brother. Can’t that wish co true?" she shouted at Ye Shuai’s back.
Ye Shuai had no intention of responding, so he held Ye Xiaoxiao’s hand and kept walking.
When Yan Shanshan thought about how Ye Shuai’s future assets had nothing to do with her, she felt heartbroken and confused. Why wouldn’t her biological brother acknowledge her but only recognize Ye Xiaoxiao?
"It’s her, isn’t it? Did she speak ill of in front of you?" She angrily pointed at Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao’s mouth opened wide, baffled by such an unexpected accusation. What did it have to do with her? She had no idea Yan Shanshan and her brother shared a mother, alright?
"What does this have to do with Xiaoxiao? Not to ntion Xiaoxiao, if you hadn’t co out of nowhere today, I wouldn’t have known about your existence, let alone Xiaoxiao. Step aside and stop testing my patience!" Ye Shuai growled.
Seeing him like this, the nearby students were all startled. They usually saw Ye Shuai as pleasant and cordial, having never seen him lose his temper like this. It seed this girl genuinely displeased him.
Indeed, if you thought about it from their perspective, if they had a mother who abandoned them, and then ca a half-sister scheming with ill intentions, they would have likely reacted the sa way.
Who would want such a person in their life? Before knowing about the assets, they are not recognized, but once they know, they co to curry favor. Do they think people are that easily impressed?
Moreover, Ye Shuai already has a loving stepmother who cares for him and a cute, sensible sister. Why would he need a half-sister with ulterior motives?
"You..." Being an immature young girl at heart, Yan Shanshan ca over full of confidence but was t with ruthless rejection. With so many people watching her embarrassnt, she couldn’t take it any longer and burst into tears, not leaving, just standing there crying silently.
Yet, this move seed to work; she was young, and to present the best impression for Ye Shuai, she dressed plainly and purely. Her crying might elicit so sympathy, but that sympathy wasn’t shared by Ye Shuai. But if she insisted on staying, it would indeed be troubleso for him. After giving it so thought, he first called his counselor and then dialed his father, Ye Qiu.
Watching Yan Shanshan continuously cry, Ye Shuai gave a bizarre smile, "Do you really want to acknowledge ?"
Yan Shanshan seed hopeful and quickly nodded.
"Then have your mom co out. My dad wants to have a detailed talk with her."
"Talk about what?" She felt a bit of fear about the imposing man she saw briefly when Ye Xiaoxiao was picked up.
"To talk about how your mom abandoned , how she frad my dad, and now what her intentions are," His eyes grew more profound, "I heard your biological father had a stroke and is in the hospital. Instead of staying with him during the school break, you co and reconnect with . I’m curious about what the Yan Family thinks. Why not bring them over too for a chat?"
