When Ye Siyao saw Ye Linlang’s stern gaze, she didn’t know why, but she felt a chill run down her spine.
Ptui, what did a little beggar from the countryside have to glare at her?!
If it wasn’t for the Ye Family’s good intentions to bring Ye Linlang back, she would probably have starved to death on the streets by now!
Ye Siyao was the best at following the wind. When she saw Ye Haifeng’s current attitude of not helping each other, she immediately stopped acting coquettishly towards him.
She grabbed Madam Ye, who was standing next to her, and her delicate face looked extremely pitiful.
“Mommy, look! Ye Linlang, that little jinx, is glaring at me!”
Of course, Ye Siyao knew best how to poke Madam Ye’s sore spot. If she wanted her mother to stand on the same side as her, she had to constantly remind her of Ye Linlang’s identity as a “little jinx!”
If it wasn’t for Ye Linlang snatching the chance of her younger brother’s birth, how could Madam Ye hate her so much?!
Who asked Ye Linlang to be born a jinx?!
…
Madam Ye naturally favored Ye Siyao. She lowered her head to look at her little daughter, whose hair was still wet. That look of hers was so weak that Madam Ye couldn’t help but feel sorry for her!
When she thought about her eldest son who died in her womb, Madam Ye was even angrier!
She looked at Ye Linlang, who was standing up straight, and her hatred for this young girl grew. If she could, she really wished that she had never been pregnant with Ye Linlang!
“Ye Linlang, why are you staring at Siyao! Why? Are you not convinced? Do you even see us as parents?”
When Ye Linlang heard Madam Ye’s words, a hint of bitterness flashed across her heart.
It was so laughable. She couldn’t even call her mother Mommy and could only call her Madam, but Madam Ye actually said she didn’t think of her as a mother!
Ye Linlang looked at Madam Ye indifferently. Her clear eyes were stubborn and proud. Her fragility had long been hidden in the depths of her heart, and no one could find it.
“Madam Ye, didn’t you ask me to call you Madam? Are you saying that now you suddenly want to be my mother?”
If Ye Haifeng hadn’t “defended” her just now, perhaps Ye Linlang wouldn’t even have him in the position of a father in her heart.
People’s hearts were soft. Ye Linlang knew that she had taken a step back, but she couldn’t be too tough on her biological parents.
Madam Ye saw that Ye Linlang actually talked back again and became even angrier. She pinched her palms in anger and almost cursed like a shrew!
“You –”
Madam Ye glanced at Ye Linlang in disgust and quickly averted her gaze, as if looking at Ye Linlang dirtied her eyes.
“Hmph! A jinx is a jinx. You even caused my precious Siyao to fall down. Do you think I want to acknowledge you just because of a few words?”
Ye Linlang’s delicate and pretty face seemed to be covered in a layer of ice and snow. She clenched her fists and looked at Ye Haifeng, Madam Ye, and the others with an indifferent expression.
“Madam, with what you said, do you still think that I harmed your precious daughter? Daddy already said that you can verify the surveillance footage. I dare go and check it, but does Ye Siyao dare?”
Hearing her own unbelievably calm voice, Ye Linlang was slightly stunned.
If Madam Ye hadn’t really broken her heart, why would she be so aggressive?
Clearly, she was a piece of flesh that had fallen off Madam Ye’s body!
…
Madam Ye snorted coldly. She almost agreed to checking the footage. Who was afraid of who?
It was still Ye Siyao who tugged at Madam Ye’s sleeve with lingering fear.
She had a guilty conscience, so of course, she didn’t dare to monitor the confrontation with Ye Linlang in front of her.
Thus, Ye Siyao pretended to be generous.
“Mother, forget it. Who wants to be so calculative with a little star of disaster? I’m afraid that if I look at her twice, I’ll be unlucky.”
Madam Ye thought about it and agreed. Her heart ached as she adjusted the half-wet hair on Ye Siyao’s forehead.
“Siyao, your dress is very uncomfortable, isn’t it? Let’s go. Mommy will bring you to change!”
Ye Linlang watched the mother and daughter sing along with each other coldly. Her expression was indifferent, and she didn’t want to say another word.
…
“Yay! I knew mother was the best to me!”
Ye Siyao held onto Madam Ye’s arm intimately. She responded sweetly, then turned around and left with Madam Ye.
When they left, Ye Siyao couldn’t help but turn around and wave her chin at Ye Linlang.
That smug look was like a peacock showing off its might.
It was as if saying to Ye Linlang, “so what if you were innocent?” Madam Ye had always been on her side, and even if Ye Haifeng knew the truth, he would definitely not say it.
Ye Linlang watched coldly as Ye Siyao took Madam Ye’s arm and left.
Even though Ye Siyao’s clothes and makeup were in a terrible state, Madam Ye didn’t mind at all.
Ye Linlang’s expression was very indifferent, but her heart was still throbbing with pain.
She also wanted a mother who loved her like this, who believed in her without asking for reasons. However, all of this didn’t belong to her.
Ye Linlang lowered her head and finally smiled bitterly as she prepared to leave.
When she passed by Ye Haifeng, Ye Linlang seemed to suddenly remember something and whispered to Ye Haifeng.
“Thank you.”
Without waiting for Ye Haifeng to answer, Ye Linlang floated away.
Ye Haifeng saw Ye Linlang’s straight back as she walked. His lips moved a few times, but in the end, he did not stop her.
Sigh, such a hedgehog-like elder daughter was really pitiful.
…
Ye Linlang quickly returned to her room. Although she had not lived here for a long time, unexpectedly, it was still spotless and there was nothing missing.
It seemed that the Ye Family still let the maids clean this place every day.
Ye Linlang locked the door, and then her body suddenly seemed to have lost some strength. She leaned against the door frame and directly collapsed.
She collapsed on the ground. Her previous pride and stubbornness had completely disappeared, leaving her only full of fragility.
A line of clear tears traced from Ye Linlang’s eyes and fell to the corner of her lips.
The tears were very salty and fell silently. There wasn’t even a trace of sobs.
Even if she was locked in the room alone, Ye Linlang didn’t dare to cry out loud.
Such a fragile self, just pretend that it didn’t exist.
The tears were just water that she drank too much of.
Ye Linlang wiped the remaining tears from the corner of her eyes and then returned to the table. She sorted out her homework for today and the competition questions that Jiang Qiran had arranged.
It was going to be the mid-term exam soon. How could she have time to mourn for the spring and autumn? It was better to brush up on a few more questions to be prepared.
…
The next day, it was the mid-term exam.
Although randomly assigned, Ye Linlang was much luckier this time. She was assigned to the same exam hall as Jiang Qiran, and they were sitting front and back from each other.
After entering the exam hall, Ye Linlang still felt that her legs were weak, and she couldn’t help but want to go to the toilet.
It was still Jiang Qiran who pulled her in amusement.
“You’ve already gone once.”
Seeing the youth’s teasing gaze, Ye Linlang was stunned and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
“Eh, is that so?”
Ye Linlang was just about to ask Jiang Qiran another knowledge point when suddenly, the examination room’s opening bell rang!
