nReal Daughter

nThe next morning, after a good night’s sleep, Shen Xi went downstairs with a face full of satisfaction.

nWhen she saw Shen Xi, Mama Lin’s expression changed. She did not know why, but she felt that Shen Xi had changed.

nMama Lin was still considerate as she prepared breakfast for Shen Xi. Even the milk was warmed to the right temperature. Then, she took out the anti-inflammatory medicine and iodophor that she had bought yesterday, as well as the multigrain biscuits that Shen Xi said she wanted to eat.

n“Miss, why did you fall asleep yesterday? I knocked on the door for a long time, but you didn’t wake up. I was afraid of waking up your mother, so I didn’t dare to continue calling you,” Mama Lin said with a thick nasal voice. There was also a little grievance and reproach in her words.

nShen Xi pretended to be dumb and said lightly, “Thank you, Mama Lin. You can leave the biscuits here for now. I’ll eat them when I’m hungry.”

nMama Lin felt that Shen Xi was different. As a nanny, she was always able to quickly sense the emotions of her employers. This was an important skill needed to be able to please her employers. However, when she thought about how well-behaved Shen Xi usually was, she shook the thoughts out of her head.

nMama Lin stopped probing Shen Xi. She raised her habitual smile and returned to the kitchen.

nShen Xi looked at the scratches on Mama Lin’s arm. It seemed that the trip last night was not easy. She might have fallen down.

nEven so, Shen Xi did not feel a trace of guilt. There were many marks on her body from being abused by Mama Lin.

nThis was because Jiang Xue was very fussy. When Jiang Xue first arrived at the Jiang family house, Mama Lin thought that she was poor so she gave her a lot of rude looks.

nLater on, when Jiang Xue returned to the Jiang family with the status of being their real daughter, naturally, she wanted to properly deal with this servant who looked down on her.

nJiang Xue liked to keep people by her side and torture them. Seeing people who once looked down on her being suppressed by her and begging her made her feel proud and happy.

nTherefore, in order to please Jiang Xue, the real daughter of the Jiang family, Mama Lin treated bullying Shen Xi as a peace offering. The more miserable Shen Xi was, the happier Jiang Xue would be, which would make Mama Lin’s life better.

nAfter all, the remuneration paid by the Jiang family was relatively high compared to other families.

nThis was because Xia Chun and Jiang Lun were both people who cared about their reputation. If they didn’t pay their employees well, they would appear inferior and be embarrassed.

nBecause of this, no matter how uncomfortable Mama Lin felt when working in the Jiang family, she would not show it in front of them.

nAfter finishing breakfast, Shen Xi saw that it was about time that Jiang Lun would arrive with Jiang Xue, so she took a book and sat on the sofa to wait.

nAfter a few minutes, Jiang Lun brought Jiang Xue into the house. At this time, Xia Chun had also come downstairs.

nEven though the injury on her knee was only a small wound, Xia Chun was still extremely careful when she went downstairs. She was afraid that if she was not careful, it would leave a scar.

nShen Xi sat on the sofa calmly. She did not move. She just watched coldly as Jiang Lun brought Jiang Xue in.

nA simple blue t-shirt with a white pleated skirt and a pair of white shoes, she looked beautiful nonetheless.

nHer shoulder-length hair hung loosely behind her ears and covered her forehead. She looked a little uneasy. She grabbed the bottom of her t-shirt and was looking at the magnificent villa helplessly.

nIn her previous life, Shen Xi had not carefully looked at Jiang Xue’s appearance. Looking at her now, indeed, she looked like Xia Chun and Jiang Luo. No wonder Xia Chun was suspicious.

nWhen Xia Chun saw Jiang Xue coming in, she did not care about the wound on her knee. She walked quickly towards Jiang Xue in joy. She held Jiang Xue’s hand and warmly greeted her.

n“How was your journey? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

nXia Chun was full of care and love. In Shen Xi’s previous life, she didn’t realize what was going on. She didn’t pay attention either as she had no reason to think that her parents would disown her as their daughter.

nWhen Jiang Xue saw the caring look on Xia Chun’s face, she was even more at a loss. At the same time, she was pleasantly surprised.

nYesterday morning, Jiang Lun told her that it was very likely that he was her biological father. She didn’t believe it at first and thought that he was some kind of liar.
