Chapter 69 The Madman of the Rich Family Criticizes the Fake Heiress 13
A haughty voice came from behind. Shen Ci, holding a red booklet in her hand, walked over and naturally stood in front of Ye Jixue, not letting her face the Ye family alone.
"If you can't afford it yourself, don't question other people's financial resources."
This house is a gift I gave to Jixue, my good child, take it now.
Shen Ci opened the property deed, which only had one name on it: Ye Jixue.
Ye Jixue and her family, who live here, know best the value of this house. The property certificate was forcibly shoved into her hand, and she stared blankly at her name printed on it.
"You...you gave it to me?"
The best house the Ye family bought was also here; this house was essentially the Ye family's old nest, and Shen Ci simply gave it to her without a second thought.
"Who says we can't afford it? If we couldn't afford it, why would we be living here?!"
Ye Canxing roared indignantly, ignoring her bleeding nose. She hadn't expected that Ye Jixue's biological mother was actually here! In other words, they really did live here!
A sense of urgency and fear made Ye Canxing want to drive them away.
“You live here because even with all your family’s savings, this is the only house you can afford.”
I'm here only to find my child. This villa was just a casual gift I gave to my child as a token of our meeting; it's not as precious as you all think.
"By the way, next time you see my daughter, don't yell and slander her again, or I will have my lawyer contact you on defamation charges."
Ye Jixue didn't remember how Shen Ci brought her home. She was holding the property certificate in her hand the whole time. During this period, the home she had lived in since childhood had become someone else's home. She felt a sense of drifting. Shen Ci then gave her a villa and a car.
Now, even if she were to leave anyone, she would have nowhere to go; this is a form of security.
"Ding-dong!"
Villain's salvation value +10! Current salvation value progress: 10%.
Trigger a special mission: Spend five million on the villain within one month.
Mission Reward: 100x return, item "Eye of Truth."
On her way home, Ye Jixue held the property certificate, head down, seemingly lost in thought. The system announced that her rescue value had increased. Shen Ci turned to look at her. This child seemed loud and boisterous, but her rescue value was quietly growing inside.
The Eye of Truth... What is the truth? What is the truth about? Ye Jixue's?
The truth about Ye Jixue's background is that she was indeed a child who was switched at birth, and she was indeed switched at birth by the Ye family. However, in her original life trajectory, Ye Jixue's biological mother and father were unknown. All that was known was that she was a child that the Ye family had taken from someone else.
The reason for bringing them in was indeed to protect their biological daughter, Ye Canxing, from disaster, to borrow her life and luck. If the plot doesn't change, Ye Jixue's biological parents will never appear.
She already knew the truth and had told Ye Jixue, but the reward given by the system... the Eye of Truth, Shen Ci clicked on it to take a look.
"Eye of Truth: A one-time use item that can be used on any character to force them to tell the truth. Only one question can be asked at a time."
Why did the "salvage value" only increase after she gave Ye Jixue the property deed after spending several days with her? Why didn't Ye Jixue feel saved when she suddenly appeared and took her away?
It was because she lacked a sense of security. Shen Ci thought about it carefully. Even when she first told Ye Jixue that she was her biological mother, Ye Jixue did not believe her immediately. Instead, she asked for a paternity test. Only after the test results confirmed their parentage did Ye Jixue cheer.
Therefore, according to this analysis, Ye Jixue believes in the principle of "seeing is believing," and when told the truth, she was skeptical until she saw it for herself.
The parent-child relationship is one, the house represents the home, and so is the truth. To complete the mission, Ye Jixue must see the truth with her own eyes.
Five million is not a difficult expense for the super-rich, but the Ye family that Ye Jixue previously lived in was not a top-tier wealthy family. Beijing and Hong Kong are divided into four parts: east, west, south, and north, and Xigang is just one of them.
Ye Jixue did not possess many actual assets or pocket money. The two returned home one after the other, and upon entering the door, they smelled a fragrant aroma.
"Keep your property certificate safe and come eat."
Since we don't have a housekeeper, I made some myself. You said you like spicy food, so try it and see if you like it. I don't cook often, so please don't mind.
Ye Jixue put down the property deed and carefully placed it under her pillow. This was the second most valuable thing she had ever received in her life. The first was the car that Shen Ci bought for her. As for the dresses and jewelry that the Ye family had given her, they had long been taken back.
Spicy chicken, boiled sliced pork, spicy chicken feet, and chopped chili fish head—a vast expanse of oily, bright red food stretches as far as the eye can see, the air filled with the aroma and spiciness of chili peppers.
"Thank you. This is the first time someone other than my aunt has cooked for me by hand."
After looking at it for a moment, Ye Jixue slowly said, "My eyes hurt a little. It must be from the smell of these chili peppers. When I was little, I ate milk powder. When I grew up, I ate the meals cooked by the nanny at home. My mother has never cooked."
No, it's not that she's never cooked for her. Mrs. Ye considers herself a wealthy socialite and has never bothered to cook. The only times she's ever cooked were for her father and husband, Ye Heng, to make soup. Ye Jixue has never received such treatment.
The child's words were truly heartbreaking. Shen Ci picked up a bowl of food for her and said, "Eat up. Mom doesn't cook every day, so eat more."
Thinking about the task given by the system—spending five million within a month—which was a long timeframe and could be considered a very easy task, Shen Ci already had an idea in mind.
"Actually, what happened back then was too sudden, and there are some things I haven't been able to thoroughly investigate."
Now that I've finally found you, I want to take advantage of this free time to thoroughly investigate the truth of what happened back then, and let you know exactly what happened. Do you have the time?
How can you increase your affinity with your child? Of course, you can't just give them money to spend; that's the worst approach. How many rebellious teenagers on modern TV are caused by parents who only give them money but don't spend time with them? There was even a show that sent wealthy children to the mountains for a "re-education" program!
"the truth?"
Ye Jixue's lips were bright red from the spiciness of the dishes, but her eyes shone like stars. It was clear that she was interested in the suggestion; the vacation after the college entrance examination was the longest one ever.
Should we investigate ourselves?
I... don't really trust private investigators. I'd like to go find it myself, and if I can't find it, then we'll figure something out, okay?
Ye Jixue thought Shen Ci would be like everyone else, handing over matters directly to a private investigator. She didn't trust anyone and harbored suspicion towards everyone, a personality trait she developed growing up in the Ye family.
Because of the Ye family, she didn't feel completely safe, which made her live in constant anxiety.
