Chapter 64 The Madman of the Rich Family Criticizes the Fake Heiress 8
The ride-hailing driver parked the car at the entrance, and the rest of the way was up to them to walk. It was also Shen Ci's first time in this place, but Ye Jixue, who got out of the car, was stunned when she saw the solemn black gate in front of her.
"This...isn't this my home? My home is here too."
No, this is no longer her home; it's the Ye family's home.
Ye Jixue added sheepishly, "I mean, the Ye family also lives in this area."
Shen Ci asked the system, "Give me the detailed address."
Soon, Shen Ci calmly told her, "Yes, our home is inside, but this is my first time here, so I'll need you to show me the way. You should be more familiar with the area."
"Our home is at Platinum Bay No. 1, please lead the way."
The system really knows how to arrange things. The villa they gave us is in the same community as the Ye family's house, both belonging to the "Cloud Top Manor" area, which is heavily guarded and has very high-quality security personnel.
"Madam, please show your information."
Shen Ci took out her identity information, while Ye Jixue looked at the doorway with a sense of sadness. Why had she come back again?
"Madam, it's still a distance to Platinum Bay No. 1. Please wait a moment while we arrange a shuttle to take you back."
The security guard said respectfully that a shuttle bus would be arranged soon. After the mother and daughter got on the bus, they crossed several small lakes, bypassed Danfeng Trail, and finally arrived at their doorstep.
Ye Jixue was a long-time resident of this area, so of course she understood the value of this villa—it was number one!
Her face showed shock. "Is this your home?"
Is this your first time here too?
What exactly is this biological mother's identity? Didn't the Ye family say that her biological parents were just despicable thieves who switched her with a rich family's child so that their own daughter could enjoy wealth and luxury?
Thinking about it this way, her biological parents shouldn't be rich, right? If her biological parents were richer than the Ye family, why would they switch the child?
Shen Ci swiped her card to open the door. "Come in. This is a house I bought specifically to find you, since you grew up here."
So, this is my first time here too.
A strange force struck her heart, and Ye Jixue was stunned. She said she bought the house here for her own sake?
Is it because she grew up here and always considered this place her home, and was worried that she wouldn't be used to leaving, that she bought an expensive villa here to live in?
In Ye Jixue's world, very few people would do anything for her, never. She was just an insignificant person, neither more nor less important.
"You must have been through a lot during this time. I've heard about it. Get some rest tonight."
Don't worry about anything, with me here, you won't be homeless.
I'll have someone do a paternity test tonight.
As she spoke, Shen Ci plucked a long hair from Ye Jixue's head. This child had a volatile temper and lacked affection. Before she could warm her and change her little by little, she had to first determine if they were biological mother and daughter. If not, Ye Jixue would not accept her help.
Ye Jixue sat down uneasily. She had lived here for so many years but had never set foot in this area before. Although the Ye family was also a member of the Ye family, their status was not high enough to allow them to live in Platinum Bay No. 1.
Even in wealthy neighborhoods, there are different classes; in Rome, there are inner and outer cities; and even under the emperor's feet, there are toes and heels.
"I have one more question. I'll go rest after I ask it!"
They say... my biological parents secretly switched my identity with Ye Canxing's so that I could enter the Ye family and enjoy a life of luxury. Is that true?
If you are my biological mother, then you should know, right?
Although Ye Jixue was spoiled, she was kind at heart. She didn't dislike Ye Canxing from the beginning. When she first heard about her background, she felt apologetic.
She felt guilty for occupying eighteen years of another person's life, but feeling guilty is different from being pointed at and scolded.
Everyone said bad things about her and blamed her, so her rebellious nature came to the fore. In addition, Ye Canxing kept making sarcastic remarks after returning to the Ye family, which caused the family to take her side and blame her.
In this way, Ye Jixue's guilt towards Ye Canxing was completely erased, and she even began to hate him.
"Do you think, given my circumstances, I need to exchange children to improve my life?"
She didn't answer, but asked in return. Ye Jixue curled her lips and said that made sense. Buying a house casually would be better than the Ye family had lived in for decades. The conditions were definitely much better than the Ye family's. Did they need to change the child?
"Then... how did I become a child of the Ye family?" she pressed.
Shen Ci stared intently at Ye Jixue, her gaze deep and unfathomable. She hadn't yet figured out how to make up a story.
"Since you've asked this far, I won't hide it from you anymore."
There are some things I haven't told you because I'm afraid you'll be even more heartbroken if you know. I didn't switch the child; the ones who switched the child... were the Ye family.
So you don't need to feel the slightest bit guilty, because you did nothing wrong. Whatever the truth is, you did nothing wrong. After all, you were just a child then; how could you possibly control your own destiny?
Ye Jixue sat there in a daze, listening to these words, her astonished expression impossible to conceal.
She claimed that she wasn't switched by her biological parents, but was stolen by the Ye family, meaning the Ye family actively stole the child!
"Why?
But they clearly said they were my biological parents, that's why they did such a thing!
Please tell me the truth. If you can find me, you must have already found out the truth. I beg you.
She didn't want to bear any guilt or self-blame, but her conscience told her that if she was a child switched at birth by her biological parents, then she should feel guilty. Even if she didn't show it, she would always remember it in her heart, after all, she had indeed lived a life of comfort and ease for eighteen years.
Okay, I'll tell you.
You are my daughter. At that time, I broke up with your biological father and found out that I was pregnant with you. I decided to leave the father and keep the child, and raise you on my own.
But can you imagine how difficult it was for a woman to raise a child alone decades ago, when technology wasn't as advanced?
So my child, you were stolen by the Ye family. Why did they steal you?
Because Ye Canxing was born prematurely and almost died, the fortune teller said that someone needed to take the fall in order for her to survive and grow up. So they set their sights on you, who was born on the same day, month, and year. Your birth chart indicates a naturally good life, a life of peace and worry-free existence. That's why you were targeted and stolen.”
Shen Ci simply sat down next to her and told her everything in one breath. This was truly a child with a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to explore; she was determined to know the truth.
The truth is often so surprising.
