Chapter 57 The Madman of the Rich Family Criticizes the Fake Heiress 1
Beijing and Hong Kong: The coming-of-age banquet for the eldest daughter of the Ye family on her eighteenth birthday.
The Ye family was bustling with guests, their home a constant stream of visitors.
The Ye family is one of the most prominent families in Sihanoukville. This birthday party was a grand affair, and they had announced well in advance that they would give their daughter an unparalleled coming-of-age ceremony!
Ye Jixue, the daughter of the Ye family, is the legitimate princess of the entire Xigang. She has three older brothers and only one daughter in the Ye family. She has been pampered and spoiled since childhood, and is a golden branch and jade leaf. Therefore, it is well known that this little princess is spoiled and arrogant.
The lights were dazzling, and the light from the crystal chandeliers projected onto the floor, illuminating the entire banquet hall in a magnificent manner.
"Hello everyone, thank you all for attending my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony."
Our daughter is the apple of our eye. She's grown up so much, and today is one of the most important days of her life. Thank you all again for coming.
The Ye family's doting on their daughter is common knowledge in Sihanoukville, and you can tell from the decorations for today's birthday party that they spent a lot of money.
"Mr. and Mrs. Ye really dote on their daughter. This birthday hall must need to be booked more than a year in advance, right?"
"Who can disagree? Mrs. Ye and her husband dote on this daughter like the apple of their eye."
"That's a big spender. This birthday party probably wouldn't have been possible without spending tens of millions."
The guests offered their congratulations, but were inwardly surprised that the Ye family would be willing to spend so much money on a daughter. Their daughter was not an elite talent; in fact, her reputation was not very good. She was just a spoiled young lady who loved to fight for love and was extravagant.
Wearing a beautiful little black dress, Ye Jixue was touching up her makeup backstage. Looking at the lively scene today, she felt both happy and proud. Her parents were so good to her, and this time she was sure to make all the girls in Sihanoukville envious of her.
"Alright, time's almost up. I can't keep my parents waiting."
Ye Jixue raised her chin, waiting to go on stage. She always liked to be in the limelight and wanted to be better than others in everything. People said that she was competitive, willful and capricious, but she didn't care about these words.
She just needs to be herself and a good child to her parents and brothers. Let outsiders say what they want; her family will always believe in her.
"Now, let me introduce our biological daughter to you."
She was a very good and outstanding child. She turned eighteen today and has grown into an adult. We feel very guilty towards her all these years, and we will never leave her again.
The Ye couple stood on the stage, their eyes welling up with tears as they spoke.
Ye Jixue waited proudly behind the scenes, like a little swan. "Mom and Dad, really, why are you talking so strangely? Guilt? Your biological daughter?" It sounded odd.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Her parents probably realized how much they had neglected her all these years, and now they've had a change of heart.
Ye Jixue, who was waiting to be called on stage in her high heels, waited for a long time. After watching her parents say a lot of things, she finally leaned half of her body out.
However.
"Our daughter, Ye Canxing."
Welcome home.
Mrs. Ye extended her arms towards a corner with the gentlest and kindest smile she had ever given. A girl dressed in a white dress and wearing a white crown walked onto the stage with composure and grace, her proud head glancing disdainfully in Ye Jixue's direction.
With a meaningful smile, she stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Ye.
——
Ye Jixue's mind went blank, as if she had been electrocuted, and she was in a state of tinnitus. She stared in astonishment at the stage, one of her feet already halfway out.
What's going on?! Who is that person on stage? Why does Mom say that's her daughter...? Then who am I?
Panic, disappointment, and shock enveloped the girl who had just turned eighteen, and her freshly applied makeup instantly turned deathly pale.
If you are Miss Ye, then who am I?
"Hello everyone, I am Ye Canxing. Thank you all for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony. I hope you all have a great time."
Mom and Dad, I love you.
On stage, Ms. Ye gracefully posed for photos with her parents, her diamond crown gleaming brilliantly. Looking at herself, she wore a simple black short dress, the necklace around her neck was from last year, and her hair was tied in a simple bun.
Looking at it this way, I suddenly felt gloomy.
"Isn't Miss Ye named Jixue? And this is...?"
"Hehe, I remember seeing Miss Ye last time, she didn't look like this."
"Let's hear what Mr. and Mrs. Ye have to say first. This Miss Ye clearly looks more like Mr. and Mrs. Ye."
"I think so too. Miss Ye has such a refined air about her; she's definitely their biological daughter. So elegant, unlike that one..."
Ye Jixue had a bad reputation; in the eyes of outsiders, she was a spoiled princess, unreasonable, domineering, and arrogant. But today's new Miss Ye was elegant and proper, and so far she had been so noble and generous.
The whispers of the crowd reached Mrs. Ye's ears, as well as Ye Jixue's. The usually strong-willed woman frowned deeply, her hands trembling as she gripped her dress.
"I'm sure everyone has a lot of questions, right?"
Now let me explain. Our Ye family only has one daughter, Canxing. She has been in poor health since she was a child and has been raised abroad by us. Now she has finally grown up and can return to her family and reunite with us.
Canxing is our child, the little princess of the Ye family, and she will always be by our side.
Madam Ye's words were full of affection and doting, and it didn't seem fake at all; that was indeed her daughter! The mother and daughter did look somewhat alike when they stood together, and it was obvious that they were related by blood!
Something inside Ye Jixue suddenly collapsed. Judging from her parents' expressions, they had known about this daughter's existence for a long time.
So... is she her older sister or younger sister? She should be the only daughter of the Ye family!
How come she never knew she had a sister? Her parents never told her!
"Mrs. Ye, since this Miss Canxing is your biological daughter, was the original Miss Ye the older sister or the younger sister?"
How come we've never heard of another young lady in the Ye family all these years?
When asked, Mrs. Ye smiled gently.
"This matter stems from a misunderstanding 18 years ago. At that time, I had just given birth to my child, and I never expected that due to negligence, the child would be switched. We went through a lot of trouble to find Canxing, which is also the reason why Canxing's health is not good and he has to live abroad."
The original Miss Ye, Ye Jixue, was the child who was switched at birth. At that time, we couldn't catch the culprit, but we still couldn't bear to blame her for being such a young life.
They raised him as their own child for eighteen years.
