She resented Xu Yanlai for using her as a scapegoat, but she didn’t dare disobey his orders.

Indeed, it was her idea to falsely claim that Ye Xingbei had a child, and she was the mastermind.

Besides, she was only Xu Yanlai’s adopted daughter, and he could abandon her at any time, just as he had driven Ye Xingbei away from the Jiang family years ago and evicted her from the house.

The Jiang family was all she had; without them, she was left with nothing.

She couldn’t leave the Jiang family, so she had to bear all the blame according to Xu Yanlai’s instructions.

Ye Xingbei watched the mother and daughter act with a cold and contemptuous face.

Seeing Ye Xingbei unmoved, Xu Yanlai angrily scolded Jiang Siyou, “You caused Beibei to be kicked out of the house and suffer so much. Is a simple apology enough? Slap yourself until Beibei is willing to come home and accept us!”

Xu Yanlai made his move.

He wanted to morally bind them.

Jiang Siyou, a 21-year-old girl, knelt at Ye Xingbei’s feet and slapped herself. How pitiful was that?

If Ye Xingbei still did not forgive them, then she would be the selfish and heartless one.

Gu Junzhu was standing beside Ye Xingbei. She didn’t believe that Ye Xingbei was willing to let Gu Junzhu think of her as a malicious girl!

Which girl doesn’t want to show their best side to their loved ones, to let them feel their gentleness, kindness, and broad-mindedness?

Xu Yanlai’s voice was harsh, filled with sharp uncompromisingness.

Although Jiang Siyou was unwilling, she didn’t dare to resist. She could only close her eyes, swallow her humiliation, and continuously slap her own face.

After dozens of slaps, Ye Xingbei still did not react at all.

Xu Yanlai was about to explode, he kicked Jiang Siyou, “Didn’t you have breakfast? Put more energy into it!”

Jiang Siyou was humiliated, and feared to be driven out of the Jiang family by Xu Yanlai. She dared not provoke him further. She increased her strength, crying and slapping herself even harder.

After dozens of slaps, her face was distorted and blood trickled from her mouth and nose.

She cried until she could hardly breathe, nearly fainting.

Only then did Ye Xingbei say indifferently, “Enough!”

Xu Yanlai was surprised and overjoyed. He immediately approached, speaking affectionately, “Beibei, you’ve forgiven us, haven’t you? I knew it, you are the kindest girl. There is no long-lasting resentment in a family. It’s good to talk it out!”

“Yes, it’s good to talk things out,” Ye Xingbei glanced at her sarcastically. Her gaze landed on Jiang Siyou’s crying face, “Jiang Siyou, I ask you, Xiao Shu… the child you and Bai Mengluan forced onto me, whose child is he in reality?”

This was the answer she had been searching for over the past five years.

She wanted to find Xiao Shu’s biological parents!

By now, Jiang Siyou could no longer hide the truth. She bowed her head in tears and said, “That child was borne by Bai Mengluan… she suffers from ovulation disorder and therefore can’t conceive. Still, she desired a child, hoping to secure her position by virtue of the child, in her marriage to…”

Jiang Siyou lifted her eyes, nervously glancing at Gu Junzhu.

Following her gaze, Ye Xingbei turned her head to look at Gu Junzhu standing beside her. A smirk appeared at the corner of her lips, “She wanted to marry Gu Junzhu?”

“…Yes,” Jiang Siyou lowered her head again, sobbing, “She bought an egg from someone, stole the sperm from the Fifth Young Master of the Gu family, and gave birth to a child. Initially, she intended to use the child as a way to marry the Fifth Master…”

Ye Xingbei was shocked, she interrupted her hurriedly, “The child is Gu Junzhu’s son?”

Her ears were filled with a buzzing sound, and her entire person was stunned.

Was Xiao Shu, Gu Junzhu’s son?
