Xu Yanlai’s face instantly resembled having been struck by lightning, with a stunned widening of her eyes.
If the words Ye Xingbei said to Gu Junzhu just now carried a hint of uncertainty.
Now, at this moment, Ye Xingbei was in no doubt!
Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai are not her biological parents!
It was ridiculous that six years ago, when she was brought back to the Jiang family, she yearned so much for their approval and affection because of her deep desire for a family, only to find out they were not her parents!
Her real parents… are already dead…
With the thought of her parents, whom she never had a chance to meet, Ye Xingbei suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain, her face turned as white as a sheet.
Gu Junzhu pulled her into his embrace, gently patting her shoulder like she was a baby, “Beibei, don’t be sad. It’s okay if you don’t have parents, as long as you have a husband! From now on, I will love you, and will even love you with the portion of love your parents were supposed to give you. I will pamper you into the happiest little princess in the world!”
His originally proud and icy eyes softened like water when he looked at Ye Xingbei.
His voice was originally splendid and melodious. When coaxing Ye Xingbei, he deliberately softened his tone, making it as charmingly sexy as a soft feather scratching a person’s heart, arousing an endless yearning, hoping it is themselves he is comforting.
Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu were greedily staring at Gu Junzhu’s flawlessly handsome face, their eyes turning red with jealousy.
He should have been theirs!
This man should have belonged to them!
Both Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu thought the same.
In their eyes, the other person simply had no competitive strength.
Jiang Siyou thought Jiang Lingyu was a fool, who would give up Gu Junzhu after a few words from her.
Jiang Lingyu felt that Jiang Siyou was just an adopted daughter, while she was the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family.
How could Jiang Siyou be worthy of the Gu family’s doorway?
Both thought that without Ye Xingbei, Gu Junzhu would definitely be theirs!
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world!
Therefore, Gu Junzhu married Ye Xingbei, not them.
Right now, their hearts ached with regret to the point where they could almost vomit blood.
They had given away such a wonderful man with their own hands.
And they had given him to Ye Xingbei, whom they hated most.
This man was not only tall, handsome, and wealthy, but also gentle and considerate, almost perfect in every aspect.
Watching him gently coax Ye Xingbei, treating her like a treasure, they wished they could go blind and deaf just to avoid witnessing such a heart-wrenching scene.
“And you, Jiang Siyou!” Ye Xingbei’s gaze shifted, looking coldly at Jiang Siyou: “Back then, you collaborated with Bai Mengluan to defame me using a child from nowhere, resulting in me getting kicked out of the house. Now, isn’t it time for you to explain this to me?”
Yan Siyou was frightened by Ye Xingbei’s cold and sharp gaze so she shrunk back, scanning her tear-filled eyes as she pitifully looked at Ye Xingbei and said, “Beibei, I’m sorry, it wasn’t my fault back then… I was also… ah…”
Jiang Siyou was unable to finish her sentence when Xu Yanlai slapped her fiercely across the face.
Jiang Siyou stumbled and almost fell, covering her aching slapped face, she looked at Xu Yanlai in shock, “Mom… why…. why did you hit me?”
