When Jiang Duoduo learned that she was actually the fake heiress raised by the Jiang family for eighteen years, she knew that a fierce battle was about to begin!
It wasn't the kind of chaotic scene the original owner experienced, but rather the chaotic scene with the real heiress.
Jiang Duoduo's mind became increasingly confused. On the second-floor corridor, as she passed the door of a suite with the door slightly ajar, she heard the voices of her parents inside.
Jiang Duoduo was crouching at the door, while her mother was holding the hand of a girl about her age. It seemed that this was the real heiress, Ye Nian.
“Why don’t you want to go and say hello to everyone? They are all your parents’ friends.” Jiang’s mother, Xu Jiao, had red eyes and her voice was a little choked up.
Ye Nian lowered her head, looking somewhat timid and endearing: "I...I...I dare not."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Jiang's father, Jiang Jianguo, asked in return, his expression stern.
"Why are you yelling so loudly? You've scared Niannian. We just picked her up from school, and I think this banquet was arranged way too hastily—"
Before Mrs. Jiang could finish speaking, Mr. Jiang interrupted her coldly, "Not worried? You're happy when rumors spread everywhere and damage the company's image?"
Jiang's mother fell silent.
Ye Nian immediately knew when to stop. She didn't really want her parents to argue over her; she just wanted to evoke their feelings of guilt.
She composed herself, then hot tears rolled down her cheeks: "I'm sorry, Dad, I'll be braver. This is the first time I've ever worn such a beautiful dress. I was afraid to see those uncles and aunts. Actually, I was just afraid that I, having grown up in the countryside, would embarrass myself in front of them and make Mom and Dad lose face..."
A simple sentence made Jiang's mother's heart tighten, and she felt even more guilty. Her eyes began to well up with tears again, and she became even more determined to make it up to Nian Nian in the future.
Father Jiang's anger vanished instantly, replaced by a feeling of guilt and distress. "You are our Jiang family's daughter. Who would dare to say anything to you? If you are ever bullied by outsiders, tell your father, and he will come to help you immediately."
"Okay... thank you, Dad."
Ye Nian in this state is undoubtedly very pitiful.
Even Jiang Duoduo, who was standing by the door, almost felt sorry for her.
However, she caught a fleeting glimpse of cunning on Ye Nian's panicked and frightened face.
Clearly, Ye Nian is not simple at all.
As Jiang Duoduo stood there in a daze at the door, her father noticed her presence. "Duoduo?"
The atmosphere in the suite's living room wasn't good. When Jiang Duoduo was called, she went in with a forced smile.
With Jiang Duoduo's arrival, the atmosphere became even more awkward, quiet, and eerie.
"I want to ask Mom and Dad how long it will take before they're willing to tell me about this," Jiang Duoduo broke the silence.
Jiang Duoduo came secretly. She only learned about Ye Nian and the existence of this banquet from the servants in her house.
Jiang's mother, whose eyes were already red, reddened even more upon seeing Jiang Duoduo. She quickly went to explain to Duoduo, "We weren't hiding it from her, Duoduo. We were afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it right away, so we thought we'd tell you later..."
Jiang's mother is a sentimental person. Even though she knows that Jiang Duoduo is not her biological daughter, she will still take care of her as her own daughter, after all, they have an eighteen-year bond.
When the silence returned, Ye Nian spoke first, looking Jiang Duoduo up and down: "Are you Duoduo?"
Actually, Ye Nian had started sizing her up the moment Jiang Duoduo entered. Jiang Duoduo seemed to be living a very good life in the Jiang family, pampered and delicate. And what about her? She hated Jiang Duoduo, this vile poor woman who had stolen everything that belonged to her! Soon, she would definitely take back everything that was hers!
Ye Nian was unaware that while she was sizing up Jiang Duoduo, Jiang Duoduo was also sizing her up.
Jiang Duoduo caught every fleeting expression on her face.
Jiang Duoduo didn't feel any disgust towards her; on the contrary, she cleverly came up with some ideas.
She smiled and replied, "Yes, hello."
