NovelEnglishCHAPTER 826 — Unwelcomed.
Arriving at the Li residence, Li Jing had least expected her foster father and his family to have been back from the hospital. The moment Ye Cheng informed her of the plate number, everything in her brain ceased functioning properly. She should have called the hospital and found out if they were still there, if not anyone but Ding Jiaying and Li Xiu. Her big mistake was that she did not anticipate any of this.
Stepping into the family house, her ears caught a whiff of the annoying voices of the duo, pestering her foster father for answers while also warning him to steer clear of her. She scoffed. They were really asking for it, weren't they? And even now, after she found out the truth—well, almost the truth—she couldn't stay away. No matter how he downplayed her, Li Jing was sure he knew something. Something that could probably implicate him if it was out in the open. She barely had time to figure out how to approach the subject when Ding Jiaying's sharp eyes landed on her. A bitter scoffed was heard, but still, Li Jing's eyes remained glued to her foster father; she had no idea what was going on until her name was called.

"Now this bitch comes again." Li Xiu threw her gaze away, her hands folded in front of her chest, pushing her breasts out. For whom to see, Li Jing had no idea.
Slowly, she let her mind come down from her reverie and focused on the two hyenas in front of her. As if on cue, both ladies took a protective stance in front of Li Chun. It was both funny and appalling, as she caught sight of the shock registered on her foster father's face by their audacity. "So you two think you have a right to prevent me from speaking to my father?"
"He is not your father," Li Xiu spat out bitterly, her eyes gleaming with pure hate. Li Jing, on the other hand, lifted her brow quizzically at the stupid excuse of a daughter.
Yes, she was right about Li Jing not being his daughter. But that did not stop their greed when she paid for his bills using his name as his daughter. "I may not be, but I do not see anything useful that you, his daughter, Li Xiu, have ever done for him. Oh," her eyes sparkled as if she recalled something important, "other than to ruin his company name and tear it down," Li Jing added. Her smile was precious but, more so, precarious. She wasn't the same weak girl Li Xiu grew up with. The same one who let her get away with everything she did and never let her emotions show. "By the way, where is your fiance again? I believe you should be in your own home with your husband, rather than failing your father time and time again."
"Funny."

Li Jing arched a brow. The lousy brat had the guts to speak?
"That should tell you what family really means. You'd never know being the abandoned child that you were, one nobody wanted and tossed in an orphanage."
Her first words were a low blow even for her. Still, Li Jing did not scowl at her. She was no animal. Acting like one by fighting would make her look weak, unable to control her emotions. Besides, now she was Mrs. Ye. She represented the Ye family. Secondly, she had a goal. Before then, she did not wish to be banned from her home till she found her mother. "Abandoned?" Rather than let ehr rage rest on her sister, she let it fall on Li Chun. He swallowed before averting his eyes. Too sorry to look her in the eye. Not that it mattered. "I'd rather not be a part of this deranged family than to be tied down by it," she added. "Secondly, I think it has been proven that I wasn't abandoned. My family and I were engaged in an accident. Father died on the spot and my mother and I went missing."
The second she dropped this last bit of information, her eyes narrowed further on Li Chun, watching his every expression to see if she missed anything. "I wasn't abandoned," she added again. This time, she darted her gaze to Li Xiu.
"And it turns out I had a better family searching for me for decades. So…" her smile grew. "If any of you think you can try bullying me, I may just have to learn to lean on my maternal family."
The sparkle in her eyes when she said that made Ding Jiaying and Li Xiu gulp, and exchanged glances while their lips quivered.
