Chapter 27: Blame It On Me

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although she now knew that she was the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, she didn’t know anything before she turned sixteen.

Before she was sixteen, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai raised her as if she were their biological daughter.

Senior Master Jiang assumed that Jiang Siyou was in fact Ye Xingbei, his elder son’s daughter. With Senior Master Jiang watching over them, Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai didn’t dare treat Jiang Siyou unfairly.

In order to cover up the fact they switched Ye Xingbei and Jiang Siyou, they treated Jiang Siyou even better than their own three children.

At least, on the surface that’s how it seemed.

So, Jiang Siyou, was pampered and doted upon in the Jiang family, never even having been scolded as a child.

However, just now, Xu Yanlai slapped her without any explanation.

She touched her face in disbelief, stunned at the stinging pain and gazed at Xu Yanlai incredulously.

Xu Yanlai’s demeanor changed drastically from the tenderness she showed Ye Xingbei earlier. She harshly scolded and slapped Jiang Siyou again, rebuking her, “Jiang Siyou, kneel down and apologize to Beibei! Had you not listened to the rumors that Beibei had a child outside when she was just a teenager, your father and I wouldn’t have thrown Beibei out in a fit of anger. Our poor Beibei, she suffered so much because of this!”

Xu Yanlai’s words were gradually choked with sorrow, and she began to wipe her tears, “My poor daughter! All of this is because of you. From a young age, she couldn’t return home, and she suffered a lot. Your father and I were not unfair to you all these years. How could you bully our Beibei like this? Kneel down and apologize to our Beibei!”

Jiang Siyou looked at Xu Yanlai in disbelief, a sense of despair spreading across her face.

In this her mother?

Was her mother so easily abandoning her and making her the scapegoat?

Yes.

She was afraid that Ye Xingbei, the biological daughter, would take her place as the adopted daughter. So, she deliberately framed Ye Xingbei.

Yet Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai knowingly allowed her to do this.

Though she didn’t understand why Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai would be so cruel to their biological daughter and so nice to her, their adopted daughter, she was very happy about it.

She guessed that it was because she had been raised by Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai since she was a child, and they had developed feelings towards her.

Moreover, she was intelligent, cute, quick-witted, and beautiful with a sweet mouth, much more likable than Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei, on the other hand, had been homeless since childhood, experienced numerous hardships and was uncouth and clumsy. Having a daughter like that would only cause embarrassment for Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai!

She thought that Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai were annoyed by Ye Xingbei and agreed to frame her and kick her out of the house.

But what about now?

The misdeeds they committed together, even her sibling Jiang Lingyu and her younger brothers agreed upon.

But now, they were making her the scapegoat, letting her bear all the blame!

Was this still the mother who loved her so much?

“What are you still looking at?” Xu Yanlai, with a secret in her heart, snapped in fear and anger, slapping Jiang Siyou again to vent her inner unease and fear. “Kneel down and apologize to Beibei, beg Beibei to forgive you!”

Easily frightened by the punishment, Jiang Siyou “plop” quickly knelt in front of Ye Xingbei, sobbing uncontrollably, “I’m sorry, Beibei, it’s all my fault. It had nothing to do with mom and dad. I heard some nasty rumors outside and told them about it when I got home. They mistakenly thought the child was yours because of me, and that’s why they kicked you out of the house. It’s all my fault, it’s not mom and dad’s fault.. Please don’t blame mom and dad, if you want to blame anyone, blame me…”
