“Using everything to raise me? Shen Xi, are you kidding me?” Jiang Xue said with a smile. Then, she pointed at Lu Shan and said angrily, “She, is the famous painter Lin Lu. One of her paintings can make me live like a king for all these years, but she hid it because she wanted to see me suffer. As soon as you came back, she couldn’t wait to tell you her true identity. Shen Xi, is this what you meant by using everything to raise me? Hahahaha! Who are you lying to?”

Jiang Xue ignored the gazes of the three members of the Shen Family and looked crazy. Her eyes were filled with resentment as she expressed her emotions. “When I was with the Shen family, where did I study at? It was a lousy public school, so it didn’t cost much. What about you? Once you returned to the Shen Family, they sent you to a high-class school like Zhuo Ying High School.”

“Hahaha!” Jiang Xue smiled self-deprecatingly and said to Shen Yan and his wife with resentment, “As expected, there’s a difference between biological and non-biological children. Saying that you love me is all bullshit. You already knew that I wasn’t your biological daughter, right? So all this while, you’ve been watching me live such a miserable life. You must be secretly happy, right?”

Lu Shan’s eyes were red. She looked at Jiang Xue and explained, “It’s not like that. We have our difficulties. It’s not what you think. We didn’t know that we had the wrong child. We’ve always treated you as our own daughter.”

Jiang Xue looked at Lu Shan coldly and questioned, “Then how do you explain that Shen Xi went to an elite school while I went to a crappy high school? Shen Xi knows that you are Lin Lu, but I don’t. Lu Shan, my dear mother, explain yourself! Continue to lie to me!”

“Jiang Xue, don’t go too far!” Shen Yan’s tone became tough.

Towards Jiang Xue, this daughter, Lu Shan and Lu Yan really raised her with love. They did not expect that things would turn out like this.

Lu Shan stopped the angry Shen Yan and explained patiently and gently to Jiang Xue, “I know that as your mother, I have many shortcomings. However, as a mother and father, we have always loved you. Besides, I told you long ago that I’m Lin Lu.”

Jiang Xue widened her eyes in shock and shook her head in disbelief. “Impossible, I have no impression of it at all.”

“Do you still remember when you were young, I forced you to draw? I remember that there was once when I taught you to hide your signature. I told you to give yourself a name just like mother did. For example, if my name is Lin Lu, then I will turn the characters into a part of the painting. In front of you, I drew the two characters of Lin Lu into the painting.”

Jiang Xue tried her best to recall this past in her mind. Then, her pupils constricted. She really seemed to have some impression of it. It seemed that it was during the time she had gotten impatient and quarrelled with Lu Shan. She did not like drawing, so she had never taken Lu Shan’s words to heart.

Lu Shan seemed to want to verify the memory that Jiang Xue had already recalled and continued, “But at that time, you hated drawing. That was the day I told you to hide your signature. You and I had our first heated argument. So I never mentioned anything about painting in front of you again. Naturally, I will never mention Lin Lu again.”

Lu Shan looked at Jiang Xue warmly and smiled bitterly. “In my heart, as long as my daughter can live happily, she can do whatever she wants. I won’t force her.”

Jiang Xue was still unwilling to believe it. She shook her head and said, “You lied to me. It’s not like this. You lied to me.”

Lu Shan wiped her tears sadly and continued, “As for letting you go to that school. It’s because your father and I know very well about your grades. Even if you change schools, you won’t be able to get into a good university. So, we originally planned to send you abroad to study after you graduate from high school. At that time, with the experience of studying abroad, your future life will be better.”

Jiang Xue seemed to have finally found her evidence. “So, your family has never been poor, right? I was right, wasn’t I? So, if you’re not guarding against me, then what are you? We were clearly rich, so why did we live like a beggar every day? You make it sound nice. Sending me abroad to study, you made it up at the last minute, right?”

“You’re wrong, our family was really poor.” Shen Xi sneered. “Dad and Mom have never been on guard against you. All the most precious things in this family have been given to you. What I have in this house, you have them before. It’s just that you disliked it and threw it away.. Who can you blame?
