He stared at Ye Xingbei for a while, then turned to look at Gu Junzhu, his throat was choked up, his voice scratchy: “Fifth Brother, the reason my sister was mistaken for ‘Jiang Siyou’ years ago was not due to negligence or carelessness, but it was intentional by Jiang Zhengxing, correct?
Jiang Zhengxing preferred to raise a child with no blood relation to himself rather than my sister, so he abandoned my sister and took Jiang Siyou, right?”
Gu Junzhu’s lips twitched up a bit, but he didn’t speak.
This Senior Xie was a smart man, penetrating the truth with one point.
No wonder Senior Master Xie would prefer his adopted grandson, fighting to give him the Xie surname, and cultivating him as the heir of the Xie family, rather than his own grandchildren.
From Gu Junzhu’s perception, Xie Yunlin knew he had guessed right.
His face turned pale with rage, his fist clenched tightly by his side, his teeth grinding and gritting.
The surge of hatred in his heart drowned him entirely.
If Jiang Zhengxing was in front of him right now, he would undoubtedly plunge a knife into his heart, dismember him, and scatter his ashes!
He still remembers how Ye Xingbei looked when she was brought back to the Jiang Family six years ago.
The fifteen-year-old girl, pale and skinny, looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, clearly a product of malnutrition.
She wore old, outdated clothes, though clean, yet you could tell she was poor and struggled just by looking at her. She grew up in a poor environment.
As he had always been watching attentively over the Jiang Family, he knew quite a lot about Ye Xingbei.
He knew that Ye Xingbei’s adoptive parents had died a long time ago. There was a brother in her adoptive parents’ family who had enlisted in the military shortly after the death of their parents. After he left, there was no news from him.
Ye Xingbei’s adoptive parents’ home was occupied by her uncle and aunt.
Those two had to raise Ye Xingbei if they were going to live in her parents’ house.
They were two extremely wicked and merciless people, treating Ye Xingbei like a domestic slave.
After Ye Xingbei finished elementary school, they made her quit school and become a child laborer in a small factory in their town.
Ye Xingbei was beautiful from a young age, even when very young she was considered one of the most stunning beauties in the town, and a lot of men there had their eyes on her.
At only fifteen years old, there were already many people proposing marriage on her behalf.
Among them, the son of the town’s deputy mayor.
Due to a car accident in childhood, the vice mayor’s son had a broken leg and limped. He had a bad temper, accomplished nothing, yet since his home conditions were good, he wanted to find a perfect wife. Despite all the searching, he was still unmarried at the age of twenty-six.
He happened to see Ye Xingbei one day, thought she was heavenly, and fell in love at first sight. He sent someone to propose marriage to Ye Xingbei’s uncle and aunt.
Ye Xingbei was only fifteen, not nearly old enough to get married.
The deputy mayor’s son said he didn’t mind, he could provide betrothal gifts first, take Ye Xingbei home and foster her until she was of marriageable age, then take Ye Xingbei to register for marriage.
Ye Xingbei’s uncle and aunt, tempted by the large amount of betrothal gifts from the vice mayor’s family, agreed without hesitation.
When Ye Xingbei found out, she fled from the small town to Jiang City in the middle of the night.
By chance, she met Jiang Huan in Jiang City.
Jiang Huan thought Ye Xingbei looked like his deceased wife, so he took Ye Xingbei to have a DNA test.
Latter on, Jiang Huan brought Ye Xingbei back to the Jiang Family, claiming that Ye Xingbei was Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter.
Back when Ye Xingbei was hospitalized due to an illness, due to the negligence of the nurse, she was mistakenly switched with Jiang Siyou when they were bathing..
