The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Cheng Jie laughed airily, as though he had no worries at all.

“I think CEO Gu already knows about the relationship between the Bai family and myself. Ye Shu is smart. He knew that after the death of the old man, there would be a fierce battle between me and Bai Ying. Therefore, after Ye Yuwei was born, he quickly brought her back to China.”

Cheng Jie’s voice was faint.

“However, he did not expect that I would still be able to track her down. I was the one who started the fire that year. It was a pity that we encountered your nosy team, or else she would have burned to death a long time ago.”

On the ship, Ye Yuwei who was still shocked, immediately looked up at Bai Yuyan after hearing what she had just said.

Cheng Jie was the one who had started the fire at the orphanage.

“Bai Yuyan, are you insane? That person is a murderer who killed the matron and so many other innocent children. How long did you know this?” Ye Yuwei demanded in rage.

“So what if I already knew? All of you were weak and deserved to die—”

Slap!

Before Bai Yuyan could finish speaking, Ye Yuwei slapped her face.

“Don’t you have any humanity? Without the matron, you would have been dead a long time ago,” Ye Yuwei screamed. Her body was trembling in rage and she fell onto the bed.

Bai Yuyan did not hide, nor was she angry after getting slapped.

“Ye Yuwei, if we want to talk about who the culprit is, it is actually you. If it wasn’t for you, Cheng Jie would not have set fire to the orphanage and caused the death of so many people. You have always brought nothing but bad luck to the people around you.”

Bai Yuyan stared at Ye Yuwei who had collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. She glared at her and said, “The orphanage was built specially for you. Since we were young, the matron always gave everything to you first. Whenever there was something good, she would always give it to you. I was smarter and more capable but the matron liked you the most. She always liked you.”

Ye Yuwei stared at Bai Yuyan and said, “Every time a nice family came to the orphanage, the matron would always recommend you as the first choice for adoption. All those families were perfect, but it was you who would always reject them because you looked down on them and did not think that they were good enough for you.”

Bai Yuyan suddenly smiled. “Ye Yuwei, let me tell you something else. Gu Juexi had also looked into your details at the orphanage. He found out about your identity from the orphanage. He also knew that I had stolen your identity and he knows that you are Ye Shu’s biological daughter.”

Ye Yuwei clenched her hands together. Her fingernails dug so deeply into her skin that she felt intense pain.

“Ye Yuwei, do you know what I hate the most about you?” Bai Yuyan laughed scornfully. “With Bai Ying and Ye Shu’s capability and resources, it was impossible for them not to have recognized their own daughter. Even if I used many underhanded means, they would have known that I was not their biological daughter. However, they were afraid that something bad would happen to you. They were afraid that you would die. That was why they took me away. They took me so that I could be the scapegoat to replace you. That kind of maternal love is really enviable.”

Ye Yuwei bit her lip and tiny drops of blood beaded on her lips.

“But why, Ye Yuwei, why? Why must I be your scapegoat?” Bai Yuyan screamed as she glared at Ye Yuwei with loathing in her eyes. She looked like she was going to rush at her and strangle her to death at any given moment.

Meanwhile, Cheng Jie was telling Gu Juexi the exact same story in the same cruel manner.
