Chapter 53: Happiness and Harmony

Blood gushed out instantly. Qiu Ying’s heart ached badly. She staggered as she got up from the ground. She did not care about the injury on her face and shouted as she held Zhong Chuan’s head.

“What are you doing? Why are you treating Chuan’er like this? You’re killing me! Can’t you talk things over calmly? Just because of a bastard who came from nowhere, you’re treating us like this. Zhong Zhe, you’re so cruel!”

Zhong Chuan was also stunned by the impact. He only understood the word ‘bastard’ from Qiu Ying’s words.

The only person who could be described as such by a woman was that girl, Jiang Yu.

Zhong Chuan frowned and his eyes immediately turned dark. What’s wrong? No wonder he didn’t see her in the classroom this morning. So she had taken leave and came back to complain. She had the guts to go to Zhong Zhe and spout nonsense. It seemed like she had not learned her lesson!

“Dad! No matter what she says, if you want to hit or curse, come at me. Don’t hit Mom!”

“Shut up!” Zhong Zhe walked to Zhong Chuan and slapped him again.

“Xiao Yu is not an outsider. She’s your sister! Did I specially transfer the two of you to the same class so that you can watch others bully your sister?”

Upon hearing Zhong Zhe’s words, Zhong Chuan sneered and said, “Sister? I’m the only son of the Zhong family. Where did I get a sister from? Father, have you admitted that this girl is your illegitimate daughter who you brought home?”

“You!” Zhong Zhe was stunned, and his expression changed. He raised his hand and touched his chest to calm his breathing. “Good! So you guys did this to Xiao Yu because you suspected that I gave birth to a child outside!”

The man looked pained, his face filled with disappointment towards Qiu Ying and Zhong Chuan. “I didn’t want to say it initially. In order to give Xiao Yu a complete family, I spent a lot of effort to persuade her to agree to come to our house. I didn’t expect all of this to be ruined by you!”

Zhong Zhe’s face was ashen. “Back then, I went to Qingyuan Village to inspect the project. I had encountered an accident and Xiao Yu’s parents died to save me. If not for them, you would have seen my memorial tablet that year!”

Qiu Ying’s expression was also filled with disbelief. She fell to the ground as if she had lost all her strength. “Impossible, impossible. How could this be the case?”

All along, she had always seen Jiang Yu as a thorn in her flesh and she wished that she could get rid of her as soon as possible. Not only did she not treat her well in front of others, but she had ridiculed her countless times behind her back. She did not expect her parents to be the great benefactors of the Zhong Family!

“That’s right. From the looks of it now, you guys will never let this poor child off unless I tell the truth!” Zhong Zhe was a little agitated, and the corners of his eyes were already slightly moist.

“I hereby announce that from today onwards, Jiang Yu is a child of the Zhong Family. If anyone has any objections, get lost from the Zhong Family!”

Not only was Qiu Ying extremely regretful, but Zhong Chuan was also lost in his father’s words.

It was also because he had misunderstood Jiang Yu as his father’s illegitimate daughter that not only did he go against her at home, he also instigated others to have a bad relationship with her in class.

Even though she knew that Du Wei, who liked to bully her classmates, liked his good brother, Zheng Chen, he still insisted on bringing Jiang Yu along to hang out with him. It was also because of this matter that Jiang Yu was often picked on by Du Wei.

At the thought of this, Zhong Chuan felt a deep anger and hatred towards himself for his actions!

“Uncle Zhong…”

A weak voice came from the corner. It was Jiang Yu, who was resting quietly upstairs. She heard the argument in the living room and came out to take a look at the situation.

She did not expect this argument to be related to her.

“Brother Chuan and Aunt Qiu usually treat me quite well. Auntie Li also takes very good care of me. Don’t be angry. It’s important to have a harmonious family…”

Jiang Yu’s voice was low and her face was red, making her look a little sickly. She had a lingering fright in the morning, and now she was facing this matter. She was living under someone else’s roof and was already very satisfied with her current peaceful life.

Now, the girl only wanted to make peace and quickly return to her room to rest. After such a torture, her entire body and mind were very tired.

“Xiao Yu, why is your face so red? Are you sick? Auntie Li, quickly call the family doctor to take a look at Xiao Yu!”

Zhong Zhe turned around and saw the girl standing quietly at the staircase. Her face was so red that one could no longer see her original skin color. He quickly instructed Auntie Li to call the doctor.

Then, everyone reacted. Qiu Ying quickly walked to Jiang Yu and held the girl’s thin arm. She spoke carefully.

“Xiao Yu, I was negligent in taking care of you previously. Are you willing to forgive me? As long as you agree, I will treat you like my own daughter in the future!”

Hearing Qiu Ying’s words, Jiang Yu was flattered. “I, I’m very grateful to Uncle Zhong and Aunt Qiu for accepting me. I’ve never blamed Aunt Qiu…”

“Sister Xiao Yu! From now on, if you have anything to say, just tell me. If you don’t mind, treat me as your real brother!” Zhong Chuan scratched his head and said anxiously.

Putting everything else aside, Jiang Yu was really a good girl with a good personality!

Just as Zhong Chuan finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at each other and laughed.
