Chapter 143 Shengge is a Little White Lotus Today
Ye Yage didn't know how she walked back. By the time it was completely dark and she returned to the guesthouse, she was too exhausted to care about her rumbling stomach and fell asleep.
The next day, before dawn, she was awakened by the throbbing pain in her stomach. Ye Yage quickly washed up, changed into a pair of cloth shoes, and went to the state-run restaurant.
After eating, Ye Yage saw the bicycle parked outside the door. She needed a mode of transportation. Otherwise, if she relied on her two legs to go back and forth, she would be worn out before she found anything out.
Ye Yage found a salesperson at the state-run restaurant, gave her a deposit of one hundred and fifty yuan, and promised to pay her one yuan a day for the high reward to borrow the bicycle.
She quickly rode the bicycle to the Western-style house and hid quietly to the side. When she saw the main door open, she only showed her two eyes, staring intently.
First, she saw a car drive out, and the person inside didn't reveal themselves at all. Then, a second car followed closely behind, but fortunately, she saw the person sitting inside.
Ye Yage actually saw Ye Ma, who should have been at the Bai family's, happily hugging a girl of her own age. Although she only saw the girl's profile, she knew that the girl was likely Ye's biological daughter.
Someone who should have disappeared, someone who shouldn't have come to disrupt her current life. Ye Yage's emotions collapsed at this moment. She wanted to see what this girl looked like with her own eyes, and even more, she wanted to see how Ye Ma would treat her own daughter.
Ye Yage desperately chased after them, following them all the way to the department store. She watched with her own eyes as a beautiful girl in a goose-yellow dress got out of the car. Ye Ma specially walked to the other side of the car to carefully help her.
The bitterness in Ye Yage's eyes made her eyes red. Ye Ma had never treated her like this. Even if she doted on her, it was only when she had enough to eat and wear.
But Ye Yage didn't consider that in this era where food and clothing were difficult to come by, what it meant to be able to satisfy her with enough to eat and wear.
Ye Shengge had not wanted to go out today. She hadn't gone to class for many days. She had planned to go after her poison was cured, but her mother insisted on buying some gifts to see her teacher today. It was also to make it easier to ask for leave in the future, as Ye Ma felt her daughter didn't need to go to high school anymore.
Ye Shengge reluctantly followed Ye Ma to the department store. Her recent recuperation had greatly improved her health, at least her complexion was no different from a normal person.
A goose-yellow dress made Ye Shengge's pretty face even more radiant, her figure charming, and her demeanor elegant. She looked like a typical young lady from a wealthy family.
Ye Yage finally got a clear look at Ye Shengge. Seeing the face that was seven-tenths like Ye Ma's, the dress that could only be imported, not to mention the watch on her wrist that gleamed in the sunlight, the flames of jealousy in her heart twisted her face.
If this person hadn't appeared, wouldn't everything on her body belong to her? She could even ride in a car when she went out, and there were even drivers. In the past, she had never ridden in a car when she went out, because Ye's father's car was never used for private purposes.
But Ye Yage didn't know that she had been discovered by A Can and the others as soon as she appeared at the entrance of the Western-style house. It was only because Zi Shao refused to tie her up that she was able to follow them all the way.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Ye Yage didn't believe that Ye Ma would abandon her when she hadn't done anything wrong. After all, she was also her daughter who had been raised by her for over ten years. Even if she wasn't biological, she was more like a biological daughter.
Ye Ma heard Ye Yage's voice without any surprise. She knew everything last night. Also, for the sake of the bigger picture, she couldn't be too excessive now. Moreover, her biological daughter had already been exposed, and she had to stabilize the person in front of her first.
Ye Ma saw Ye Yage and put on the gentle smile that the original owner often showed, reaching out to signal Ye Yage to come over.
"Yage, last night I even criticized your older brother. I should have sent you back, how could I have left you outside."
Ye Yage looked at Ye Ma, who was as affectionate as ever, and felt relieved. Seeing the girl who had been smiling at her, her heart was filled with grievance, and she directly burst into tears.
"Mom, why aren't you at home? I'm so lonely by myself."
A flash of disgust flickered in Ye Ma's eyes. She really didn't have the patience to deal with the imposter.
"Look at you, child. Everyone in our family is busy. You know that. You're not studying honestly in Mingcheng and you ran all the way here, making me worry."
"Then why do you have time to come here, Mom? And who is she?"
Ye Ma was getting extremely annoyed. How dare this thing question her? She already knew she wasn't biological, so why pretend?
"I must have important business here. The person standing next to me is my biological daughter whom I just found, Ye Shengge. I don't know who is older, so from now on, just call them by name."
Ye Yage never expected that Ye Ma wouldn't even bother to hide it from her. Was this clearly intending to bring her biological daughter back to the Ye family? Then what would happen to her?
"Biological daughter? Then who am I?"
Ye Ma's eyes were about to roll back. They were all drama queens.
Meanwhile, Ye Shengge, who had been standing opposite Ye Yage, found it quite interesting. Since she came to this world, she had seen many people's true colors. Their expressions were so rich that even the biggest stars on television couldn't achieve them. This really made Ye Shengge very interested. She was like a blank slate, absorbing this "knowledge."
"Yage, don't be sad. Although you are not my biological daughter, Mom will still treat you as before."
"How could this happen, how could this happen."
Ye Yage put on an appearance of being unable to accept it, and even backed away step by step in coordination.
Ye Shengge praised her inwardly, her acting skills were good. Her pair of bright eyes stared intently at Ye Yage's every move, for fear of missing out on learning something.
Ye Ma also started teaching on the spot, even winking at her precious daughter.
"Yage, don't be sad. If you hadn't seen me today, I wouldn't have wanted to reveal this fact. But don't worry, Mom will definitely treat you well."
Ye Ma stepped forward, took Ye Yage's hand, and patted it comfortingly.
Ye Yage was genuinely sad, but she knew she had to perform better, to make Ye Ma feel pity for this adopted daughter in her heart. Things were achievable by human effort, especially since Ye Ma and her newly found daughter hadn't spent much time together.
"Mom, don't leave me. I'll have nothing if I leave you, and I don't know where to go. I will be obedient and filial to you from now on."
As she spoke, Ye Yage wanted to throw herself into Ye Ma's arms. Ye Ma, seeing the person with her nose and tears all over her face, felt very disgusted and quickly took a step back, increasing the distance between them.
"Okay, Yage has always been sensible. Mom won't leave you."
Ye Shengge knew it was her turn to appear. She extended her hand amicably.
"Hello, Yage. My name is Ye Shengge. Mom has always mentioned you in front of me. From now on, our family will have one more person, and I am truly happy."
