Chapter 5: Turns Out They Aren't Kin
Jiang Mengyu couldn't understand at all.
Normally, her parents favoring her younger sister was one thing, but selling her into the mountains to be a Shared Wife, that was not just favoritism – it was destruction!
Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, what were they thinking?
Thus, when her legs felt nearly recovered, she didn't hear any voices from the cliff above, it seemed the people who captured her had given up on her.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the vines and climbed up the cliff.
Seeing the road that led out of the mountains, Mengyu's heart surged with excitement: she was finally free. Even though she had jumped off a cliff, she didn't die, she was free!
She ran wildly to the road.
She saw a sedan parked there, its engine still running, as if it knew she would escape today and came to pick her up.
She dashed towards it: once she got on this car, she could escape. She took out a jade hairpin, ready to use it as a fare.
The car window rolled down, revealing a beautiful face.
It was her younger sister, Jiang Huaiyu's face!
Seeing that face, Jiang Mengyu instinctively wanted to run.
"Now you still want to run? Too late!" Jiang Huaiyu's voice came from behind.
With the engine still running, Huaiyu drove the car and hit Mengyu from behind.
Mengyu was seriously injured and fell to the ground. She wanted to use medicine, but her hands wouldn't move.
Feeling the vitality rapidly draining from her body, she knew, this injury was different from the previous cliff jump, this time, she was really going to die.
After all the hardships of escaping the mountain, to be killed by her own sister, it was unbearable.
"Why did you hit me?" She struggled to lift her head, looking at Jiang Huaiyu.
Ever since they were children, she, as the older sister, had never treated this younger sister poorly. She let Huaiyu have the best food and toys, and stood up for her when others bullied Huaiyu.
Jiang Huaiyu stepped on Mengyu's chest, looking pleased as blood gushed from Mengyu's mouth.
She looked down at Jiang Mengyu, her face full of disdain: "Why? Of course, to let you die."
"Why?" Mengyu stubbornly asked: "We are real sisters!"
"Real sisters? Who is your real sister? You are nothing but a wild child my mom adopted when she couldn't have children after three years of marriage, who is your real sister?"
What, she is not the daughter of Jiang Haidong and Li Chunhua, but their adopted child?
If that was the case, everything made sense.
But even if she was adopted, she wasn't an enemy, why destroy her?
Moreover, she really treated Huaiyu with all her heart, why did she come to kill her just as she had managed to escape?
"Why do you want to kill me? Haven't I been good to you?"
Jiang Huaiyu straightened up, looking Mengyu in the eyes: "You being good to me is your duty. My mom and dad raised you; you should serve me, be my servant. But why do you have to be prettier than me, even though you had no time for school, how come you performed better in studies than me?
Tell me, could I not be jealous?"
"Heh, my mom really is far-sighted, selling you not only makes money but also secures your hard-earned university spot for me.
The bigger surprise is your identity even brought me more benefits – your real mom is a rich woman."
"My, real mom, came looking?"
"Yes. Just over a month after you were sold into the mountains, your real mom showed up. Do you know? your real mom is a rich woman, this luxury car, she gave it; the villa I live in, she also gave it; her company, will also be mine!
Originally, if you stayed obediently in the mountains as those brothers' wife, I would have spared your life, but you, you just had to run out again.
Tell me, would I risk the danger of your real mom discovering her real daughter was switched, to let you go?
Tell me, running out, isn't that seeking death?"
