I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 616 - 625: You Guys Covet Nan Jin’s Money
Chapter 616: Chapter 625: You Guys Covet Nan Jin’s Money
When Bai Ye heard Bai Yu’s words, he was shocked, and Ye Xiu felt a terrified chill, and now, looking back, it was downright horrifying.
"Bai Yu, have you known this so-called truth since you were a child?"
Because Bai Yu knew that Xingxing was not his sister, was that why he had always been targeting her, bullying her?
"I...," Bai Yu paused, feeling somewhat guilty for having inadvertently exposed himself. This was a bit...
"I’m just asking if you did or not?"
Ye Xiu gasped in cold air. If that was truly the case, she didn’t dare to imagine what kind of ostracism Xingxing had suffered.
"Yes, I’ve known for a long time. When Xixi arrived, I accidentally learned the truth.
Xixi is my real sister. Naturally, I wouldn’t be nice to Bai Zhi, just an outsider. We gave her a place to stay, and she should be grateful for that. If it weren’t for us taking her in, would she have survived this long?"
And because of her, Xixi was separated from them for several years, why should Bai Zhi receive any attention?
"So, you did it on purpose back then? Deliberately making me target Bai Zhi, saying she bullied Xixi was all made up, right?"
Bai Ye laughed at himself, realizing he was the only one kept in the dark and used. If it weren’t for Nan Xi speaking up today, would he ever have been worthy of knowing the truth?
Were they planning on using him for a lifetime?
Back then, he truly believed that Bai Zhi had bullied Nan Xi, so he taught her a lesson. Thinking about it now, his so-called sister...
"Of course not, Bai Zhi was always bullying Xixi."
Bai Yu immediately retorted. Did Bai Ye even understand who was on his side?
"Bai Yu, if you knew that Bai Zhi wasn’t your sister, why didn’t you tell me?"
Ye Xiu’s face grew even darker. Nan Xi had arrived three years ago, and he had known the truth since then, but he had refused to tell her.
If he had said so at the time, everything would have been different. She wouldn’t have let Xingxing be alone.
This misunderstanding had persisted for so long because of Bai Da’s selfishness, and now Bai Yu was added to the list.
If Bai Yu had asked her in the beginning, everything would have been different; at least Xingxing would not have been neglected, at least Bai Yu and Bai Ye wouldn’t have acted the way they did...
Unfortunately, Bai Yu was indeed Bai Da’s son. The selfish trait was identical, with no chance of change.
"I was afraid you wouldn’t believe..."
Bai Yu found the lamest excuse.
"Ha, really? Or are you coveting Nan Jin’s money?"
Ye Xiu needed only a moment’s thought to see through their actions. They were simply thinking of bullying Nan Jin’s daughter while coveting Nan Jin’s wealth.
Yet, they never considered that from the beginning it was all a misunderstanding caused by the idiot Bai Da, who was also selfish enough to do such a thing.
"Mom, now is not the time to talk about brother. The point is, I am your daughter, so can you please not be nice to Bai Zhi?"
Nan Xi reached out to pull Ye Xiu’s hand, hoping that her mother would understand now that she was her daughter.
Bai Zhi was nothing but a fake.
Ye Xiu, however, coldly shook off her hand, her eyes filled with disdain.
"Nan Xi, you think you’re my daughter, yet you chose to remain silent. You’re just after all of Nan Jin’s things, aren’t you? Bai Da told you this, didn’t he?"
Ye Xiu remembered how Nan Xi used to be a likable little girl, with her heart on her sleeve, unable to hide anything. Therefore, the only explanation was that Bai Da had told her recently.
Knowing this, yet without any reaction she followed Nan Jin home. Then, coming to her place and seeing her kindness towards Xingxing, she broke down...
"It was Dad who told me, but I didn’t tell you because I just couldn’t believe it... It was too incredible to accept all at once. I’m sorry, Mom..."
Nan Xi looked up and saw the anger on Ye Xiu’s darkened face and hurriedly spoke.
"There’s no need to explain. Any of your explanations are empty. You are just selfish and greedy. But I’m afraid Bai Yu and Nan Xi will be disappointed because Nan Xi is not my daughter..."
Xingxing is her daughter. Just as Nan Xi said, she only needed one look to recognize her. No proof was necessary.
Although she had neglected Xingxing in the past, she definitely wouldn’t from now on.
"It’s true that Bai Da switched the babies back then, but later the nurse and Nan Jin discovered it and switched them back."
Ye Xiu’s words were like throwing a bomb in their faces, the most ferocious kind, leaving them charred inside and out.
"So that’s what happened..."
Nan Jin walked in from the doorway, looking at Ye Xiu with sympathy in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected Bai Da, whom he had always trusted, to do such a thing, actually wanting to switch babies back then.
Nan Xi was stunned; she hadn’t expected Nan Jin to appear at this time.
"Dad, did you hear everything?" Her face turned deathly pale. If it was true,
what was she supposed to do now...
"Yes, I heard it all. You knew you weren’t my daughter, yet you acknowledged me as your dad. You really are... cunning."
While he appreciated ambitious children, it didn’t mean he wanted them to use their schemes against him.
Even if Nan Xi was truly his daughter, she had plotted against him, together with Bai Da.
What Bai Da did was utterly condemnable. Now he understood why he mistreated Bai Zhi, thinking Bai Zhi was his daughter.
Was it because he hated him, thinking that the man Ah Xiu loved was actually him?
"Dad, no, listen to me, let me explain..."
Nan Xi was frantic to explain, and Nan Jin’s arrival was like a blow to her head, making her sober up instantly. She was supposed to become Brother Ouyang’s future wife.
But she had messed up. If she wasn’t Nan Jin’s daughter, then she...
Nan Xi couldn’t face the outcome and rushed out.
Bai Yu wanted to chase after her but was held back by Ye Xiu.
"Bai Yu, do you know that Xingxing is my daughter and your sister, and as for Nan Xi, she’s Nan Jin’s daughter. Did you really think Bai Da could switch them just like that?"
Bai Da’s scheming was in vain, and it’s tragic that Xingxing suffered for all these years because of that mistake.
"So, everything you did was just to capture attention."
Ye Xiu looked at Bai Yu, wishing to see remorse or guilt in his eyes, but there was none.
He just froze for a moment, then walked away...
"Yes, Bai Yu, I discovered this immediately at the time and had the nurse switch them back right away. Your father’s actions never succeeded."
At the time, he hadn’t thought much of it, but now...
His hatred for Bai Da deepened. To snatch away Ah Xiu, he really did everything he could, and to mistreat a child because of his hatred for him was beyond despicable.
Even he could not do such a thing; that was Ah Xiu’s daughter.
If Ah Xiu found out, she would definitely be angry. He would never do something to anger Ah Xiu, and if he ever did, he certainly wouldn’t let Ah Xiu find out.
