Chapter 37 Noisy
Ye Xingguo frowned, then quickly smiled.
"Hurry and bring the child inside. Coming this late must be for a reason."
Before Li Xiumei could move aside, Ye Shengsong spoke again.
"Mom just said you weren't home, so I didn't know I've even lost the right to return to my own home now."
Li Xiumei immediately flared up. She shoved Ye Shengsong and slammed the door shut.
Ye Shengsong wasn't angry. She steadied herself and burst into tears.
"Dad, why, why can't I come home? Everyone else has their own parents, why do I always have to live at Grandma's? Am I not your biological child? If not, please tell me where my birth parents are." Sudanshu.com
Ye Xingguo couldn't stop what happened in an instant. The crying outside made the veins on his forehead bulge.
"You idiot, open the door quickly."
Li Xiumei immediately started cursing from inside.
"You little slut, go find your parents if you want to. Don't come to my house. Get out and stop disgusting me."
Ye Xingguo was held back by Li Xiumei. Every time he saw the slut outside, it was a pain in his heart, and further evidence of his man's betrayal, always making him sick.
"So Mom means I'm not really the Ye family's child. Then please tell me who my birth parents are? I'm begging you."
Li Xiumei, furious, yanked open the door, her face contorted with rage.
"Since you're here today, I'll make it clear once and for all. You are a bastard, and you have nothing to do with me. It's already our utmost kindness to have raised you this far."
Ye Shengsong quickly bowed to Li Xiumei.
"Thank you, Aunt Li, for telling me everything. Can I ask if I have a blood relation with Dad?"
Ye Xingguo pushed Li Xiumei aside and gave Ye Shengsong a pained smile.
"Shengsong, don't listen to this crazy woman. You are my biological daughter, Ye Xingguo's. Otherwise, why would we have raised you? Raising a child is not easy these days."
A crowd had already gathered around Ye Shengsong. After all, this was a dormitory building with many residents on each floor, and everyone came out to watch the excitement when there was nothing else to do at night.
"Xingguo, why don't you keep this girl by your side? And Xiumei, why would she say such a thing? Even with a preference for boys, you wouldn't mistreat your own child like this."
"Exactly. I haven't seen this girl in so many years. She's also pitiful, never even going back to her own home."
"Could it be that Ye Xingguo had a child with another woman outside?"
"Oh dear, if that's true, Ye Xingguo has made a serious mistake."
Ye Xingguo shot a fierce glare at Li Xiumei, who was still in a frenzy. What a useless woman.
Li Xiumei now knew she had messed things up, at least damaging her husband's reputation.
"Dad, just tell me. In these fifteen years, I've only been to this house three times. I've never even eaten an egg at Grandma's, and I only get half a bowl of congee a day. Look how thin I've become. Dad, if you let me find my birth parents, I will repay you well. Please, don't torture me like this anymore. At least let me understand everything before I die."
As she spoke, Ye Shengsong clutched her chest, feigning illness.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
"I think my heart condition has flared up, and I can't live for many more years. I just beg Mom and Dad to tell me the truth."
"Oh dear, what a misfortune, to have heart disease at such a young age."
"No wonder Li Xiumei didn't want to raise her. Maybe she's her biological child, and they're intentionally saying she's not."
