Chapter 499: Chapter 499
Ye Lirong seemed to have lost all restraint, cutting off Yan Xinxin’s words and mercilessly hurling the final, vicious sentence at her, completely catching her off guard!
Yan Xinxin froze abruptly, her breath and heartbeat simultaneously pausing for a brief second!
She widened her eyes in shock, staring at Ye Lirong, her heart trembling.
"Mom, what are you saying?"
Seeing Yan Xinxin’s stunned expression, Ye Lirong chuckled dismissively.
"To tell you the truth, back then, I picked you up from a garbage heap! At the time, there was a woman hurriedly trying to escape; I stopped her, and that woman turned out to be your biological mother!"
Yan Xinxin was unable to accept this and denied it outright, her face turning pale.
Ye Lirong, however, coldly chuckled dismissively and continued speaking.
"That woman looked absolutely pitiful at the time. She was crying and told me she couldn’t afford to raise you, so she was going to abandon you. After asking her more, I found out your biological father was a drug addict, and so was your mother. She still had a shred of conscience left, afraid you’d end up like them, so she decided to abandon you!"
"No, no, impossible, I don’t believe it..."
"Believe it or not, the truth remains the same: you are not my biological daughter! I only adopted you out of kindness! Given how deep your parents were in their addiction, after all these years, they’re probably either locked up by the police or already dead!"
Yan Xinxin stood up abruptly, her pale, delicate little face drained of all color!
"Absolutely not! I don’t believe it!"
She fiercely denied it, trembling all over, unable to accept such a harsh reality.
"Why are you telling me this now? Why? Why would you lie to me ?"
Ye Lirong let out a cold laugh.
"Isn’t there something like a paternity test nowadays? If you don’t believe me, I can go with you and have one done!"
She confidently remarked, piling on one statement after another.
"Xinxin, do you wonder why the people in this family don’t like you? It’s because you’re nothing but a bastard child! Only Old Yan, that kind-hearted old fool, treats you as his real daughter!"
Ye Lirong mercilessly delivered another crushing blow to Yan Xinxin.
Yan Xinxin felt her heart being pierced by arrow after arrow, the relentless pain suffocating her!
She had suspected that she might not be Ye Lirong’s biological daughter.
She had also wondered whether she might be Mu Qianyuan, who tragically died years ago.
But now, it turned out, she had guessed right...
Only, she had guessed half-right.
"Young Mistress Mo, honestly, you don’t need to feel bad. You’re already the Mo family’s Young Mistress now, you have money and power, and Young Master Mo is utterly captivated by you. Why bother worrying about your lineage?"
Listening to Ye Lirong’s mocking words, Yan Xinxin shook her head dazedly, her eyes dim and empty.
"No... That can’t be... I don’t believe it..."
She stammered, speaking words of denial, before suddenly turning and running out the door.
Ye Lirong watched Yan Xinxin’s disoriented figure leaving, quickly pulling out her phone. She found a number in her contact list and made a call...
The sky had grown dark for some reason, and the air was stiflingly hot. Content orıginally comes from noᴠelfire.net
Yan Xinxin staggered to the entrance of the residential complex, the wrenching pain in her chest forcing her to stop.
Each of Ye Lirong’s words replayed sharply in her mind, piercing her heart once more.
A thunderstorm came suddenly, pouring down torrents of rain. Those without umbrellas ran to seek shelter, while Yan Xinxin stood motionless in the rain, like a wooden statue.
A luxurious sports car roared through the stormy rain, and the driver, upon seeing Yan Xinxin standing drenched in front of the residential gate, abruptly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes!
