Chapter 38 The Farce
Ye Shengge’s intention was to ruin the reputations of both of them, whether they were her biological parents or adopted, it would incite unfavorable gossip.
Ye Xingguo’s anger was almost uncontrollable as he listened to the increasingly outrageous public discourse.
"Shengge, don't listen to your mother’s nonsense. She’s just biased towards males. You were born of her ten months of pregnancy."
Ye Shengge’s face was pale, appearing weak and heartbroken.
"Is that so? But I don't resemble you at all, not even Grandma. Is what Mother just said true? Father, please tell me."
"Looking at her now, she really doesn't resemble you. Shengge girl is truly beautiful. Li Xiumei couldn't have given birth to someone like her."
Li Xiumei was so enraged she wanted to curse, but then she considered that the more she spoke, the worse it would get, so she could only sulk.
"Heh, you’ve all misunderstood. Shengge takes after her maternal grandmother."
"Xingguo, don't try to deceive us. We’ve all met your mother-in-law. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her sharp and mean-looking."
"Hahahaha, isn't Li Xiumei exactly that, sharp and mean-looking?"
Li Xiumei could no longer contain herself and put her hands on her hips, yelling.
"Bullshit! You’re an old cucumber but have the nerve to call others names. When I was young, I was so beautiful."
"Pah! If you were beautiful, then no one else would be ugly."
Hearing the conversation drifting further and further off course, Ye Shengge immediately stepped forward and tugged at Ye Xingguo’s sleeve.
"Father, I'm grown up now, and I understand everything. I never came home since I was little. At Grandma’s house, I never ate a single egg, never ate white flour, and was only allowed half a bowl of rice for every meal. That's why my body has always been sick. Even when I went to the hospital, you wouldn’t buy me medicine, even though I could have continued to live if I had taken it. All of this makes me very suspicious."
"Father, just tell me what’s going on. I don’t want to die without knowing who my biological parents are. Was I kidnapped? If you don't tell me, I will definitely seek help from the relevant authorities. I just want to know the truth before I die!"
Ye Xingguo’s pupils contracted. This girl was completely out of control. He took a deep breath and put on a loving expression.
"Don't think nonsense, girl. I am your biological father. Although we haven't cared for you much, it doesn't erase our kinship.
It’s too late. I'll take you back to your grandmother’s house."
Ye Shengge’s tears flowed as if she had lost her soul, revealing a tragic smile.
"You say I'm your biological daughter, yet I don't even have the right to stay in this house for one night. Never mind. I will find the answer I seek."
Ye Shengge shook off Ye Xingguo's hand and turned to go downstairs.
"Oh dear, at this late hour, something bad might happen."
"Xingguo, why aren't you chasing after her? If something really happens, you'll regret it."
Ye Xingguo was also worried that Ye Shengge might get into trouble, so he quickly hurried downstairs.
Ye Shengge hadn't actually left. Instead, she found a dark corner to hide in. She wanted to see if tonight's farce would force Ye Xingguo to go find Wan Qiong. Su Dan Novel Network.
But after following him for a while, Ye Xingguo returned home without taking any detours, much to Ye Shengge’s disappointment. However, she wasn't afraid. She would stir up trouble from time to time, and eventually, she would force Ye Xingguo to find Wan Qiong to discuss countermeasures.
Ye Shengge rode her bicycle around the streets. As she passed by a dilapidated house, she thought of the old woman. She quickly flashed into her space and tidied up one thousand jin of white flour, one thousand jin of rice, one hundred jin of dried cured meat, and two hundred eggs.
