"Get in the car." Ye Bai opened the passenger door for his wife, and after getting into the driver’s seat himself, he realized that Zhao Yao hadn’t gotten in yet. Noticing her standing awkwardly, he spoke a bit uneasily.
When it comes down to it, seeing his daughter raised this way made him a bit disappointed and also very angry. Back when he was young, he even liked Qian Lan Ya, but fortunately, she didn’t fancy him. How could such a venomous woman be so heartless? How could he bear to hand over the excellent Xingyan back to her?
Zhao Yao cautiously opened the car door and then carefully sat down, afraid her clothes and shoes might dirty the luxury car.
Seeing her timid and unimpressive demeanor, Shen Huiran was holding back a breath in her chest. How could Shen Huiran and Ye Bai’s biological daughter be like this? If they took her out, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock?
"You are now Lady Ye, so loosen up a bit in the future." Shen Huiran couldn’t help but start lecturing. No one knew this wasn’t the first time she had seen her biological daughter, but that time left a bad impression, so she refused to admit it was her biological daughter.
She would never forget that day, hearing students after school say that Zhao Yao cheated on an exam. Her face burned as if on fire. How could Shen Huiran’s daughter do such a thing? Can grades be faked? The real results would be revealed during the college entrance exam anyway, so who was she planning to deceive with cheating then?
What made her angrier was that when she went into the school and saw Zhao Yao being bullied, she didn’t even know how to fight back. Such uselessness—how could she be the eldest lady of the Ye family?
Then there was the utterly unremarkable face, combined with the feeble and inept demeanor. On top of that, she thought of the dismal character that resorts to cheating on exams, and Shen Huiran suddenly had second thoughts.
At that time, her husband had just been taken back to the Ye Family’s main residence. If it was discovered then that their daughter wasn’t biological and that the biological one was so subpar, would her in-laws think they were overstepping? Would they think they didn’t deserve the Ye Family name?
So Shen Huiran backed down, thinking that perhaps it was better to let the error persist. Her daughter, Xingyan, was nurtured with great expense and care, and everyone had to praise her when they saw her.
When their whole family faced disapproval from the new mother-in-law, only daughter Xingyan received a different kind of treatment. She knew it wasn’t right for her biological daughter, but she had already planned it. When Zhao Yao got married, she would give a house as a wedding gift as compensation.
But she didn’t anticipate that her brother-in-law would expose everything. When she no longer cared, why should her brother-in-law meddle?
In the end, it’s the grandfather’s biological granddaughter; if they’re not reunited after being exposed, then it’s their wrongdoing.
But she was confident that the more popular and beneficial for the Ye family in the future would certainly be Xingyan, so she resolutely refused to send Xingyan away. Her biological daughter was already set in her ways and difficult to cultivate anew, and she didn’t have the patience to do it all over again.
Zhao Yao was quite sensitive and had a vague feeling that maybe her parents didn’t like her very much. She was somewhat puzzled—why? Wasn’t she their biological daughter? Did not growing up by their side mean there was no affection? Then why would the adoptive mother rather commit crimes for her biological daughter?
Even before meeting, Zhao Yao was already a bit jealous of the girl named Ye Xingyan.
"Is your name Zhao Yao?" Ye Bai asked while driving.
"Yes," Zhao Yao replied in a muffled voice.
"Then you’ll have to change your surname to Ye, and from now on, you’ll be called Ye Yao. Are you alright with that?"
"Yes, I can."
Shen Huiran mentally rolled her eyes. What’s there to be unwilling about? She’s going to have a good life now; who would possibly refuse?
But she ultimately kept those words to herself. Although she couldn’t fully accept it, after all, it was her biological daughter, and Shen Huiran didn’t want to be seen as a malicious mom.
"Neither you nor Xingyan are at fault for the identity switch, so I hope you can understand why we aren’t sending Xingyan back. After all, she has lived with us for fifteen years, we have formed an emotional bond with her." Ye Bai spoke warmly, sounding more gentle than Shen Huiran.
Zhao Yao—no, she should be called Ye Yao now—felt slightly more at ease and forced a tense smile: "I understand."
"It’s good you understand. Let me introduce the family situation to you. Besides your mom and me, there’s your Sister Xingyan and Brother Xingyun, along with your grandparents and uncle. Remember, speak and act less in front of your grandparents and uncle, just show enough respect and courtesy, understood?" Ye Bai said with great seriousness.
Seeing his serious expression and tone, Ye Yao also felt a bit tense, then nodded seriously and agreed.
However, Shen Huiran still wasn’t reassured and added, "Don’t blame us for not warning you; if you upset your grandparents or uncle, even if they don’t punish you, we won’t let you off easily. We don’t ask you to win them over; just don’t offend them, understood?"
"I understand, I’ll be very careful," Ye Yao replied, biting her lip. Already unfamiliar with the Ye family, she now felt even more fear and rejection, feeling like there was no place for her anywhere.
At this moment, Ye Xingyan also felt very uneasy. Even though her parents promised that after bringing back their biological daughter, they wouldn’t neglect her, she still felt awkward. No matter what, she didn’t have Ye family bloodline, and if she made a mistake in the future, would no one forgive her?
Moreover, how could she face her friends in the future? Would they laugh at her for not being the Ye family’s biological daughter?
Ye Xingyan couldn’t help but blame the heavens. Why did fate have to play such tricks on her? Why say she’s not biological after being the Ye family’s daughter for so many years?
But she also understood that if there was no mix-up initially, she could only have lived a poor life, which she was even more unwilling to face.
"Uncle, will you and everyone else not like me in the future? I know I’ve taken over her life for over a decade, but it wasn’t intentional, I was kept in the dark. I didn’t stay out of greed for wealth, it’s because I’m not willing to leave you all. Uncle, when compensating that girl in the future, could you also treat me a little better, just a little? I know it’s shameless to ask, but I’ll also treat her well. I’ll do my best to teach her everything I’ve learned and help her integrate into our family’s life as quickly as possible."
Ye Xingyan’s expression was utterly helpless and disoriented, and her charming appearance easily stirred goodwill, but was Ye Qiu an ordinary person? Why should Ye Xingyan be pitied by him?
