Chapter 110: Beibei, I’m Sorry

Although he had reluctantly taken Ye Xingbei in under his younger brother’s insistent urging, he had never truly accepted her.

He always believed that the offspring of a dragon would be a dragon, the offspring of a phoenix would be a phoenix, and the son of a rat would gnaw holes.

Jiang Zhengxing, a beast who even harmed his own elder brother, could never produce something good.

He was scared that his younger brother was turning into the farmer in the fable of the farmer and the snake. He had saved Ye Xingbei out of kindness, only to turn Ye Xingbei into an ungrateful creature.

So, over the past few years, he had been extremely strict with Ye Xingbei, fearing lest she goes astray.

During the time Ye Xingbei was raised by them, he had knocked her unconscious countless times.

But now, the truth has come to light. Ye Xingbei was not the daughter of Jiang Zhengxing, that beast, but the daughter of their uncle!

Their uncle died in a car accident because he was out searching for their father.

Thinking of all these, Ye Xinglan was filled with self-contempt.

How could he face their uncle after treating Ye Xingbei so badly?

His father had told him that his uncle was the kindest to him in the Jiang Family.

Aside from them — his mother and children — the person his father loved most in his life was his uncle.

Knowing that the uncle’s son had changed his surname to be with their maternal grandfather, and that his uncle’s daughter had died, his father could not stand the blow and fell seriously ill.

Now he knew that Ye Xingbei was not Jiang Zhengxing’s daughter, but the daughter of his uncle.

He had also found out some things.

The reasons Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei changed their last name to “Xie” were not because they betrayed his uncle and attached themselves to the riches of the Xie Family. They had come to learn some facts that made them despise the Jiang Family.

And that is why they left the Jiang Family back then, and why they are taking revenge against the Jiang family now.

The “truth” that led to their father’s severe illness wasn’t the actual truth at all.

Now that he knew the real truth, he didn’t dare to tell his father due to his poor health.

There were still many things he had yet to find evidence for.

Once he finds the evidence, he will personally send that beast, Jiang Zhengxing, to jail. And then, when his father’s health improves, he will tell his father everything.

If his father knew that Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei had never forgotten their uncle, and that the uncle’s daughter wasn’t dead and had been by their side all along, he would be very happy indeed.

He stared at Ye Xingbei, reminiscing about the past, remaining solemn and silent.

Ye Xingbei’s face grew paler under his stare, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

Gu Junzhu frowned slightly and asked, “What business does President Ye have with me today? Surely you did not come here to show off your power?”

“Show off my power?” Ye Xinglan was taken aback. Seeing Ye Xingbei’s increasingly pale face filled him with a sharp stab of pain and intense guilt.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, he knew deep down that his so-called fear of Ye Xingbei going astray was nothing more than a high-sounding excuse.

The real reason was his deep-seated hatred for Ye Zhengxing who had severely injured his father, leaving his father’s life hanging by a thread, and burdening him with countless health issues.

He had always thought Ye Xingbei was the daughter of Jiang Zhengxing.

He believed that Jiang Zhengxing’s blood ran in Ye Xingbei’s veins, and he had projected his hatred and anger towards Jiang Zhengxing onto Ye Xingbei.

Remembering the past, seeing Ye Xingbei kneeling at his feet, beaten to a bloody pulp until she lost consciousness, he closed his eyes, and said with a bitter voice, “Beibei, I’m… sorry…”

“Sorry?” Ye Xingbei was taken aback, and promptly shook her head, “Big brother, what are you talking about? You have nothing to apologize to me about!”
