Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the bet with Ye Siyao, Ye Linlang’s eyelids drooped. She was exhausted.
What some people wanted always came so easily, but some people were destined to work a thousand times harder.
Ye Linlang looked up at Ye Siyao’s parents, who were still comforting Ye Siyao in warm voices.
Madam Ye held Ye Siyao in her arms, her eyes red. That kind of intimacy felt like it was going to crush her to the bone.
“Siyao, you’re not angry anymore. What do you want to eat? I’ll get the kitchen auntie to make you some pineapple and seafood fried rice. Do you like it? Or do you want a bowl of spicy stir-fried crayfish? Don’t you like it the most?”
Ye Siyao saw Ye Linlang looking in her direction and immediately raised her chin proudly at Ye Linlang. Then, she took advantage of the situation and shrank a little deeper into Madam Ye’s arms..
“Mommy, I want delicious food too, but I also want the latest red diamond-studded watch from Vacheron Constantin. I want it, but Daddy has always disliked that watch because it costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. He said he won’t let me wear it.”
“Okay, okay. Your Daddy is such a stingy person. Mommy will make the decision for you. Mommy will buy it for you.”
Ye Haifeng heard his precious daughter’s complaints and immediately smiled awkwardly. Then, he quickly agreed.
“Cough, cough. Of course, our little darling Siyao is the most important. It’s just a bit of smelly money. Daddy will pay for it!”
Ye Siyao immediately wiped away the tears on her face and walked over to Ye Haifeng’s side, beaming.
“Really? Really? Daddy is the best!”
…
Ye Linlang looked at the happy scene of Ye Siyao and her family of three, as if no one could get in.
Yes, Ye Linlang had already realized that although she was brought back to the Ye family, she was actually just an outsider.
She didn’t even have the right to call her mother, let alone act coquettishly to Madam Ye.
Ye Linlang smiled bitterly.
She looked out the window at the setting sun.
Suddenly, she felt something crack in her heart.
Actually, she was wrong.
There were some things that even if you tried a thousand times, you couldn’t get the result you wanted.
It was clearly Ye Siyao’s fault, and she had already provided evidence. But to Ye Haifeng and Madam Ye, so what if Ye Linlang was wronged?
How could she compare to their precious daughter, Ye Siyao, whom they had raised in their hands since young?!
They even seemed to have completely forgotten about her existence.
…
Ye Linlang silently pursed his lips and finally walked up the stairs with heavy steps.
She was moving to the school tomorrow.
Actually, this was also good.
Although the Ye family had relatives who shared the same bloodline as her, they hated each other. Perhaps living in the school would make life more peaceful.
As for the bet she made with Ye Siyao…
Ye Linlang clenched her fists slightly and decided to improve her results no matter what.
As far as she knew, although Ye Siyao’s results were better than hers, she wasn’t outstanding.
She was able to be in the middle of Cla.s.s A, around 30th place.
Ye Linlang’s results were so poor mainly because her English and mathematics were too much of a hindrance. As long as she made up for these two cla.s.ses, there was still a lot of hope.
However, there were less than twenty days until the monthly exam. Could someone like her, who knew nothing about English, really succeed?
Ye Linlang decided to go to a cram school. Although Ye Haifeng did not like her, it should not be to the extent that he would not even give her money for a cram school, right?
As Ye Linlang thought about this, she gradually had an idea in her heart.
If it really did not work out, she would consider borrowing money from Miaomiao. As long as she could pa.s.s the monthly exam, Ye Linlang felt that even if she had to wash dishes, she had to return the money.
Ye Linlang felt inferior, but at the same time, she was also a girl who wanted to be strong. Because of her English results, she had already been ridiculed by the entire cla.s.s too many times.
She didn’t want to become the laughing stock of the cla.s.s again.
Moreover, Ye Linlang really wanted to see Ye Siyao’s shocked gaze. She wanted Ye Siyao to apologize!
That’s right, this was Ye Linlang’s greatest hope!
…
It just so happened that there wasn’t a lot of homework to do at home today. In addition to the fact that she couldn’t do the English questions at all, after Ye Linlang finished the other homework and made a wild guess on the English test paper, everything was done in an hour.
However, Ye Linlang suddenly realized something!
Wait!
Didn’t she promise to bring Jiang Qiran cranberry biscuits the next day?
Ye Linlang patted her head, and the rest of her sleepiness disappeared instantly!
After all, she was going to live at school from tomorrow onwards, so she probably wouldn’t have the chance to make biscuits. If she didn’t make more this time, Jiang Qiran might not be able to eat them.
Moreover, Ye Linlang also thought of bringing some for Miaomiao as well. After all, Miaomiao was Ye Linlang’s first friend since she was young. And she didn’t look down on her at all.
Ye Linlang thought about it and quickly changed into slippers and ran to the kitchen at the other end of the villa.
Coincidentally, the kitchen auntie was making supper. When she saw Ye Linlang rus.h.i.+ng over in a hurry, she was a little surprised.
“Linlang, why are you in such a hurry? Are you hungry? Master and Madam asked me to make Miss Siyao some coconut bar and fish congee just now. There just happened to be some extra. Do you want to eat it?”
The Kitchen Auntie actually felt a little sorry for this child, Ye Linlang.
For example, Master and Madam felt sorry for Ye Siyao for studying too hard in high school. At night, they would often ask her to make some delicious and nouris.h.i.+ng midnight snacks for her, but she always needed to prepare only Ye Siyao’s portion.
Ye Linlang, this elder daughter, didn’t seem to make any difference whether or not she was back. She was thrown to the back of their minds.
…
Ye Linlang glanced at the bowl of fish porridge on the kitchen counter. In fact, she was a little hungry, but in the end, she still shook her head.
“Aunt Li, I’m not here for supper. I still want to learn how to make biscuits from you. Do you know how to make cranberry biscuits? Can you teach me?”
Hearing Ye Linlang address her so politely, Aunt Li still felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, she was only a servant of the Ye family, and no matter what, Ye Linlang was still the next generation of the Ye family in name.
But Ye Linlang insisted, so Aunt Li gave up trying to persuade her.
“You want to learn how to make cranberry biscuits? That’s very simple, even simpler than the chocolate biscuits last time. If you want to learn, I can teach you.”
Ye Linlang nodded excitedly. She immediately followed Aunt Li’s instructions and found the low-gluten flour, b.u.t.ter, sugar, egg, cranberry, and other ingredients needed to make the biscuits.
With Aunt Li’s help, Ye Linlang made the biscuits very well. After putting the semi-finished products into the oven for twenty minutes, the yellowish biscuits came out of the oven.
Ye Linlang smelled the aroma of the cranberry biscuits. Her black eyes slightly curved, and she was originally very happy.
But when she looked at Aunt Li, who praised her, a trace of sadness suddenly flashed across Ye Linlang’s eyes.
“Aunt Li, I’m moving out of the Ye family tomorrow…”
