“Don’t talk nonsense!” Senior Master Gu’s face darkened somewhat, he glanced at Ye Xingbei, “I think the master is right, you and the girl from the Jiang Family are heaven-sent partners. After spending one night with Bei Bei, you looked better and even smiled. This proves that the master is right, you and Bei Bei are a match made by heaven. All this is thanks to Bei Bei!”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

Does she really want this gratitude?

She asked patiently, “Uncle Gu, I’ve been working overseas for five years. I came back from overseas yesterday. Before I could go home, Jiang Siyou ambushed me and made me unconscious. Can you tell me what’s going on?”

Senior Master Gu frowned, “You don’t know?”

Ye Xingbei shook her head. “I know nothing. I was doing very well overseas. If the Jiang Family hadn’t posted a missing person notice around the world, saying that my grandfather was critically ill and wished to see me one last time. I would never have come back here in my life!”

Senior Master Gu furrowed his brow even deeper, slamming his palm onto the table, “This old Jiang, really confused! How could he do such stupid things!”

He sighed, looking at Ye Xingbei, and earnestly said, “Girl, the Gu Family and your Jiang Family were meant to be in-laws, but my daughter called off the marriage, so that connection did not materialize. Since my daughter called off the marriage, we’ve encountered a series of unfortunate events, with constant misfortune and loss of family members. I consulted a master who said that our Gu Family owed the Jiang Family a marriage. Only by fulfilling this marriage obligation would our Gu Family be able to avert disaster. Hence, I went to Gu Family to ask for the hand of a girl from your Jiang Family for Ah Zhu.”

Speaking of this, he slapped the table regretfully again, “At that time, I made it clear, completely up to the willing party, no coercion. I didn’t know that they didn’t tell you anything and forcibly sent you over. No wonder the Jiang Family keeps deteriorating, this old Jiang is getting more and more clueless!”

So this is it!

Ye Xingbei suddenly realized.

No wonder the Jiang Family, who had not cared about her for five years, suddenly put in great effort to find her.

It turned out that the family was looking for a marriage tool.

Jiang Siyou was their treasure.

Jiang Lingyu was their darling.

Only she, Ye Xingbei, was the tool that the Jiangs were willing to sacrifice.

She clenched her fists and asked Senior Master Gu, “May I know, what benefits did the Jiang Family receive for agreeing to marry a daughter to the Gu Family?”

Senior Master Gu looked a bit embarrassed, and coughed while saying vaguely, “There wasn’t any special benefit; the Jiang Family’s company was facing bankruptcy due to poor decisions. I promised your grandfather that as long as the Jiang Family was willing to send over a girl, I would help your Jiang Family get through this crisis.”

Ye Xingbei nodded, “just as I thought!”

The Gu Family gave huge benefits to the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family neither wanted to let go of the substantial benefits promised by the Gu Family, nor were they willing to marry Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu to Junzhu, who was “on his deathbed.” They thought of her, who had been wandering outside for years, and tricked her into coming back using the news of her grandfather’s illness.

What a vicious heart.

Yes.

She didn’t grow up by their side.

But was it her choice to be swaddled and mistaken as their child at birth?

They forcibly recognized her as a Jiang, but did they ever consider her feelings?

Jiang Siyou took her identity and enjoyed the affluent lifestyle that originally belonged to her in the Jiang Family.

She, on the other hand, had to starve and shiver in her adoptive parents’ home from a young age.

The Jiangs discovered the mix-up of children back then and, despite her crying, forcibly brought her back to the Jiang Family.

Once back in the Jiang Family, they disdained her for growing up in a humble family, calling her a “wild child,” and deliberately made life difficult for her.

Until she was sixteen, Bai Mengluan forcibly gave her a child, and the Jiang Family cut ties with her, driving her out of the house.

If it weren’t for her grandfather’s hint of love for her and her desire to see the old man for the last time, she might never have set foot in the Jiang Family again in her life.

Back then, she never thought of taking revenge on the Jiang Family for their ill-treatment. But that didn’t stop them from deceiving her into coming back, drugging her and making her marry a “seriously ill, nearly dead” man.

She was only twenty-one, and the Jiangs wanted to make her a widow!

There’s a saying that even a tiger won’t eat its own child, but the fact that Jiang Zhengxing and his wife could be so cruel to her showed they never saw her as their own daughter.

Since that’s the case, don’t blame her for paying them back in their own coin!
