Ye Linlin, on the other hand, was raised by her to be sweet, gentle, and considerate.
She couldn't help but wonder if Xixi would be as considerate and well-behaved as Linlin if she hadn't been switched at birth.
Her heart was torn apart by emotions and morality.
Seeing that Shi Wanwan was wavering, Ye Linlin inwardly cried out in alarm. She grabbed Shi Wanwan's arm, her round, pearly eyes brimming with tears, her voice hoarse and soft:
“Mom, Qiqi is right. My sister has suffered so much in my place, how can I ask for more? Don’t worry, Mom, Linlin will miss you a lot when she’s away. When Linlin grows up and earns money, she will be filial to both of us.”
As Ye Linlin spoke, her chest heaved, she gasped for breath, her face flushed and her head throbbed, and she fainted.
When Ye Ji saw Ye Linlin faint, he hurriedly knelt down and helped her up. "Housekeeper, quickly go and call the family doctor!"
The butler stepped forward: "Sir, the family doctor is on leave and has gone home today."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ji had no choice but to pick Ye Linlin up in his arms and say, "Wife, I'll take Linlin to the hospital first."
"Okay, go and come back quickly." Shi Wanwan's face was full of worry.
Shi Wanwan originally wanted to leave with Ye Ji, but when she saw her biological daughter standing there with an increasingly disappointed expression, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks.
Shi Wanwan stepped forward and pulled Ye Zhixi and Ye Qi to sit down on the sofa, her face gentle: "Children, can you tell your mother how you used to live?"
Ye Qi sat a little further away and took out the sunflower seeds she had left over from yesterday from her pocket.
Ye Zhixi said shyly, "I... I usually work part-time and stay at my teacher's house. My teacher is very kind to me and hopes that I can continue to study. When I'm not in class, I work at a convenience store, collect bottles on my way home to sell, and deliver food on weekends."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wanwan's eyes filled with tears. She never imagined that her biological daughter had raised her alone, enduring hardship and struggle to survive. The thought of her daughter picking up bottles made Shi Wanwan feel as if ants were gnawing at her heart, filling her with bitterness.
Ye Qi: "Cackling and clicking."
Ye Qi's cracking of sunflower seeds mercilessly interrupted Shi Wanwan's sorrowful moment.
Shi Wanwan finally snapped out of her sadness and asked, "Xixi, your teacher is usually very nice to you, right?"
Upon hearing the word "teacher," Ye Zhixi's eyes lit up: "Yes! My teacher is very good! If he hadn't found me, I might have frozen to death in the winter."
Hearing this, Wanwan became even more upset, and she gripped Ye Zhixi's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Ye Qi: "Chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew."
Shi Wanwan was interrupted again, so she said gently, "Qiqi, baby, can you stop eating sunflower seeds for a moment? Mommy is talking to your sister."
"Okay." Ye Qi resealed the bag of sunflower seeds.
Instead, he took out his phone and started watching short videos.
Shi Wanwan took Ye Zhixi's hand and patted it twice to comfort her, then earnestly advised her:
“Mom knows you’ve suffered. Xixi, come home and I will do my best to make it up to you. But Linlin has been with us for a long time and doesn’t know anything about it. Mom hopes you can get along like sisters.”
Ye Qi's phone rang: "Your Highness, please wait! A captivating story about a real and a fake heiress is here! The princess who likes this post will lose 15 pounds, the princess who comments will grow 11 centimeters taller, and the princess who saves it will have legs that become thinner, longer, and straighter, captivating countless young men and women."
"Now the main story begins. I have been reborn. I am the true heiress of the richest family who was abandoned. In my previous life, I returned home full of joy, thinking that my whole family would love me. But they only loved my younger sister, and only liked that fake heiress sister."
"They even told me to get along well with the fake heiress. I thought that if I listened to my parents and got along well with my sister, the whole family would be happy. But I forgot that a child who is not loved is an abandoned child. My parents only love the fake heiress, and the fake heiress deliberately framed me for pushing her downstairs."
“My father kicked me out, and my mother, with red eyes, scolded me for being an uneducated beast. But my mother, I was abandoned outside when I was a child. Who was going to teach me? It was hard enough for me just to survive.”
“My brother hates me for being jealous of my sister, but I’m not jealous of her! It was clearly my sister who framed me on purpose, so why doesn’t anyone believe me? I was kicked out of the house by my parents, and I was killed by someone bribed by the fake heiress. I’ve been reborn, but I’ve given up. I don’t love them anymore. I will leave on my own and love myself.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhixi lowered her head, her eyes reddening. She was afraid that she would end up like the voice in Ye Qi's phone, kicked out and left to wander the streets.
Shi Wanwan felt heartbroken when she saw Ye Zhixi with red eyes and her head down.
With a sigh and a sorrowful expression, she softly asked her youngest daughter, "Qiqi, could you please not watch this?"
"Okay, Mom."
Ye Qi swiped the screen.
The phone rang again: "It's not that I look down on member-only novels, but completed free novels are more cost-effective. Raspberry Butt reminds you to turn on WIFI, prepare some snacks, and the main story is about to begin~ I've been reborn, and this time I've awakened my consciousness."
"It turns out I'm in a story about a real and a fake heiress. I'm the real heiress, and my sister is the fake one. In the story, my sister is gentle and unassuming, and she's loved by my parents, brother, and even my fiancé."
"And I was arrogant and domineering, jealous of my sister's love, and always deliberately courted death. In the end, I died in a basement of less than ten square meters. Reborn, I don't want them anymore..."
Shi Wanwan: "..."
Shi Wanwan's face turned pale. Why do these short video platforms always like to promote these random things?
But Ye Qi is his youngest daughter, so he couldn't really scold her, could he?
"Qiqi, can you stop playing on your phone for a moment?" Shi Wanwan said softly.
"Oh, okay, Mom."
Ye Qi put her phone back in her pocket.
Seeing that this dad had finally stopped playing on his phone, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But she had no desire to persuade Ye Zhixi and Ye Linlin to get along amicably anymore.
How could she not know her youngest daughter's little scheme?
But she was also in a dilemma, torn between her biological daughter and the daughter she had raised for fifteen years.
Both are my flesh and blood, how can I choose between them?
She rubbed her aching temples, her face full of worry.
Ye Zhixi noticed that Shi Wanwan seemed embarrassed by her arrival.
He decided to back down and see things through: "Mrs. Ye, I am very grateful to have given birth to me, allowing me to experience the beauty of the world. Since my existence is interfering with the relationships in your family, I will leave on my own."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qi suddenly felt that Ye Zhixi leaving the Ye family wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Since being stifled in the Ye family can lead to turning to the dark side, leaving the Ye family might be a viable option.
So Ye Qi decided to wait and see.
If Ye Zhixi wants to leave the Ye family, she will secretly mediate and help Ye Zhixi leave. In any case, Ye Zhixi's ten personalities will help her live well no matter what.
But Shi Wanwan didn't think so. How could she let her biological daughter, whom she had finally found, go out and suffer again?
Her voice choked with sobs: "Xixi, please don't leave Mommy, okay? Mommy finally found you, and Mommy doesn't want to lose you again."
