“Your grandmother might have changed her name for some reason. Therefore, it’s not a big problem that the names did not match.” Jiang Yining took out the photo and showed it to Ye Xiaoxi. “Look, isn’t this what your mother looked like when she was young?”
Ye Xiaoxi was skeptical as she took the photo.
With a glance, she confirmed that the person on it was indeed her mother.
Because she had seen the same photo firsthand.
It was just that she had lost it because she had moved.
She still couldn’t believe it. She muttered, “Yining, could there be a mistake? I’ve never heard my mother or grandmother mention the Yuan family. Besides, 1 grew up in A-City. The Yuan family is powerful and influential. It’s impossible for my mother and grandmother to not want to acknowledge them when we’re living such a miserable life, right?”
In the past, her family did not even have the money to buy rice. They were so poor that they had to eat gruel for a month…
She was so hungry that she became skin and bones. Every time she moved, her vision would turn black.
In order to feed them, her grandma did not hesitate to sell her blood.
How could she not look for the Yuan family at such a difficult time?
Wasn’t this contradictory?
“I don’t know why they refuse to acknowledge the Yuan family. Xiaoxi, what 1 want to tell you is that the Yuan family is looking for you everywhere. Old Master Yuan really wants to meet your grandmother. If you really want to reunite with him, I can tell him to do a paternity test. If the match is successful, you will be the young miss of the Yuan family and will not have to suffer anymore.
“But at the same time, you might also be dragged into the Yuan family’s internal strife. Elder Yuan already had eight sons. None of them are easy to deal with.”
Jiang Yining explained the pros and cons clearly and gave her the chance to make her own choice.
Ye Xiaoxi felt as if she was in a dream.
After nearly twenty years of suffering, someone told her that she might be the child of the Yuan family, one of the four great families in A-City.
Even television dramas weren’t this surreal, right?
“Yining, what do you think 1 should do?”
Ye Xiaoxi was at a loss.
“Xiaoxi, this is your life. 1 can’t give you any advice. You need to think about it yourself and see what kind of life you want.” Jiang Yining was willing to help with other matters, but she could not give her opinion on matters that concerned Ye Xiaoxi’s life.
“Can 1 think about it?” Ye Xiaoxi asked.
“Of course you can. If you’ve thought it through, you can reply to me at any time so that 1 can arrange the follow-up.”
If Xiaoxi was unwilling to reunite with the Yuan family, she would erase all the evidence.
So that the Yuan family never finds her again.
“Yes.”
Ye Xiaoxi nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Yining patted her shoulder.
The two of them walked towards the classroom door.
Xiao Yeyu, who was hiding outside, heard the footsteps and hurriedly hid to the side.
After the two of them left, she walked out from the dark, revealing an envious and scheming expression.
She had never expected that Ye Xiaoxi could be a member of the Yuan family!
That was the Yuan family, one of the Four Great Families!
Their power and status were hundreds of times that of the Xiao family!
The person she looked down on had suddenly become a phoenix. How could she balance her emotions?
Xiao Yeyu was shocked, but she also felt that Jiang Yining was scheming. It was very likely that she already knew that Ye Xiaoxi had something to do with the Yuan family, which was why she treated her so well. She only told her about her relationship with the Yuan family after she won Ye Xiaoxi over.
That way, when Ye Xiaoxi returned to the Yuan family in the future, she would be able to maintain a close relationship with Jiang Yining.
She was really stupid.
She had been with them for so long, but she had never realized that Jiang Yining was so shrewd.
Xiao Yeyu wanted to do something.
She was going to seize this opportunity.
Xiao family.
Xiao Yeyu pondered for a while.
When she returned home and saw her brother, Xiao Nanchen, she had an idea.
“Brother.”
“What?” Xiao Nanchen said unhappily.
Last time, his mother had given him a slap in front of so many people, making him embarrassed.
He was still holding a grudge.
He got angry when he saw Xiao Yeyu!
“Brother, let me tell you something. This is a good opportunity for you to make a meteoric rise.”
“Are you that kind?” Xiao Nanchen sneered and picked up a strawberry with a toothpick.
“We’re family. If there’s anything good, 1’11 naturally think of you. Besides, you can decide whether it’s a good thing or not after 1 finish speaking.”
Xiao Yeyu wasn’t angered by his cold face at all. Instead, she kept smiling.
Xiao Nanchen didn’t say anything.
Xiao Yeyu recounted the details of what she had overheard today and said with a beaming face, “Brother, if you manage to get Ye Xiaoxi, you’ll become the Yuan family’s grandson-in-law. Given how Old Master Yuan is obsessed with his first love, he would definitely treat Ye Xiaoxi well when he brings her back to the Yuan family. Taking care of everyone that is connected to his family… How can you not benefit from it?”
Xiao Nanchen sneered, “Are you asking me to live off a woman? Our family hasn’t fallen to such a state, right?”
He didn’t have any ambitions and felt that the Xiao family was in a good state.
If he had enough money, he could live happily for the rest of his life.
He hated his mother and sister the most. They were always scheming, trying to curry favor with rich people.
“What do you mean by living off a woman? This is a strong alliance. Only by forming a relationship with someone stronger can we raise the status of our family,” Xiao Yeyu said seriously.
“So what if we raise our family’s status? Isn’t it just spending more money and curry favor with more people?”
Xiao Nanchen said indifferently.
Seeing his attitude, Xiao Yeyu said viciously, “Do you look down on people with power? Do you think power is not important? Xiao Nanchen, can you wake up?
If you and Lu Zhi were placed together, you wouldn’t even be fit to carry his shoes, let alone snatch his woman. The last time you took the initiative to seduce Jiang Yining, did she even look at you? It’s all because you’re not capable and can’t compare to Lu Zhi…”
“Xiao Yeyu!”
Xiao Nanchen was angry and roared.
“Do you think you can shut me up just because you have a loud voice? Xiao Nanchen, the reality has always been cruel. The strong preyed on the weak. It’s just that you’ve been deceiving yourself. Let me tell you, if you continue to laze around like this and wait for death, Jiang Yining will never fall for you!”
Xiao Yeyu stood up and took her bag. She looked down at him and said, “Think about my proposal. When would you have such a precious opportunity in life? When she really returns to the Yuan family, she might not even like you even if you try to curry favor with her.”
After saying that, she stomped away in her high heels.
Xiao Nanchen looked up at the ceiling.
After a moment…
He stood up angrily and swept everything on the table to the ground.
“Looking down on me? Sooner or later, I will let all of you know how powerful 1 am!”
Before she went to sleep, Jiang Yining received a message from Xiao Yeyu.
[Yining, I’ve thought it through. 1 don’t want the Tao family’s money. Help me talk to Elder Tao and see if he can arrange a position for me in the Tao family’s head office after 1 graduate. I want to work with the Tao family after my studies are over. 1 want to accumulate experience so that 1 can help my father manage the company better in the future.]
[Okay.]
Jiang Yining gave an affirmative reply.
Xiao Yeyu: “Thank you, good night.”
Jiang Yining turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and was about to fall asleep.
However, there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
Lu Zhi?
It was already so late. Why was he looking for her?
Puzzled, Jiang Yining got up and walked to the door.
“What’s the matter?”
“There’s a meteor shower tonight. I’ll take you to see it..”
