Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Heartache Like Twisting
Translator: 549690339
Back then, he never expected that Ye Xingbei wasn’t Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter, but was instead his own younger sister.
He didn’t care about any of Jiang Zhengxing’s stories or dramas regarding his biological and adopted daughters.
But he knew that after Ye Xingbei returned to the Jiang family, life was very tough for her.
Jiang Huan sent her to school.
Becoming a freshman at fifteen, she was older for her grade and was looked at by many with strange eyes.
Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu were popular figures at school, and they both combined forces to ostracize Ye Xingbei.
Ye Xingbei had just returned to the Jiang family when her reputation became tarnished.
Everyone outside the family heard tales of Ye Xingbei, of how she would steal Xu Yanlai’s, Jiang Siyou’s, and Jiang Lingyu’s jewelry to sell, and how she was a thief.
She was known as a bad student who didn’t return home after class and would kiss older boys in the alleys.
She was a malicious girl that would ruin the beloved clothes of Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu.
Back then, he would hear these stories and snort, thinking they were befitting of someone raised by Jiang Zhengxing.
But at this moment, as he reflected on it all, he felt a mix of anger and regret, a pain that struck his heart.
At that time, he believed the rumors without hesitation.
But now, he realized that those rumors were fabricated by Jiang Siyou and Jiang Lingyu, under the deliberate indulgence of Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai, intentionally defaming Ye Xingbei’s name.
He still remembered the way Ye Xingbei looked when she was occasionally seen at the Jiang family home.
A fifteen-year-old girl, skinny and reticent, living by carefully observing the expressions of those around her, trying hard to please others, but still being disliked by everyone.
The two beasts, Jiang Zhengxing, and Xu Yanlai, of course, wouldn’t like her.
Because she wasn’t their daughter.
Even worse, their parents could have been murdered by Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai!
How could Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai dare to raise the daughter of the people they had murdered?
So, they hatched a poisonous plan, gave Ye Xingbei a wild child that Bai Mengluan didn’t want, smeared her name by accusing her of having a promiscuous life, and drove her out of the Jiang family.
As he thought of all this, Xie Yunlin felt like his heart was being cut. He was deeply ashamed of himself.
He considered himself smart, even a genius, yet his own sister had been so close to him, and yet he didn’t recognize her.
There were so many anomalies and loopholes in what Jiang Zhengxing and Xu Yanlai did to Ye Xingbei, but just because he thought that those two beasts could do anything irregular, he didn’t investigate further.
He watched Ye Xingbei be oppressed and humiliated in the Jiang family for a year, and then she was smeared with dirty water and driven out of the Jiang family, left destitute on the streets.
At that time, when he heard the news, he just sneered and muttered ‘a dog biting a dog’, and then he put the matter out of his mind.
But now, he knew that the one who was so wronged, so miserable, so framed and bullied, was his own sister!
It was his dear sister who he loved holding and kissing when they were kids; the one that their parents and he had adored so much!
He hadn’t shed tears for many years.
But at this moment, looking at Ye Xingbei, his eyes were moist and filled with tears.
His lips quivered, and his voice choked, “Beibei…”
His sister, her name wasn’t Jiang Sibei, but Jiang Nianbei.
Because their mother’s nickname was Yin Xin, and Beijing is to the north of Jiang City.
So, when his father was naming his sister, he composed her name by combining two characters from their mother’s name to form ‘Nian’, naming her… Jiang Nianbei..
