The Hellborn Heiress​ - chapter 24

The servants suddenly understood.

“I told you that photo wasn’t real!”

“Miss Wanwan is so beautiful and has such outstanding temperament, how could she possibly be the child of a maid?”

“Exactly! Jiang Ci is shameless. To smear the Eldest Miss, she’ll stoop to any despicable means.”

“A white-eyed wolf, truly disgusting!”

The servant carefully handed the photo back to Steward Li.

Steward Li then gave it to Ye Shuhua.

Ye Shuhua glanced at the photo, then looked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan thought she would be blamed.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shuhua looked at her with a face full of heartache and said, “My precious daughter, don’t be afraid. With Mom here, no one can bully you!”

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes grew moist.

Although Madam wasn’t her biological mother, she was even better than a real one!

All these years, she had already regarded Ye Shuhua as her own mother.

Now, seeing Ye Shuhua defend her so fiercely, Jiang Wan was deeply moved.

Even if Jiang Ci is the true daughter, she hasn’t won out over me entirely.

Jiang Wan, holding her injured chin, threw herself into Ye Shuhua’s arms. “Mommy, thank you for loving me!”

Ye Shuhua stroked her head with heartache. “You’re my only daughter in this life. Anyone who tries to slander you, Mom will never let them go!”

The scene of motherly love and filial piety moved everyone present.

The servants looked at Jiang Ci again, seeing that she had stirred up trouble and now wore an indifferent, aloof expression, which was simply nauseating.

“Jiang Ci.” Ye Shuhua glared at her with hatred and said coldly, “I kindly took you in for eighteen years, and in the end you hurt me and my family like this. The Jiang Family has done everything for you. From now on, you are no longer part of the Jiang Family!”

Jiang Fu, paralyzed on the sofa, echoed, “Aba aba!”

Jiang Ci remained calm, not angry but instead smiled. “Whether Jiang Wan is the real daughter or not, the three of you know best in your hearts. I didn’t come here to reclaim my identity. Jiang Family’s daughter? Ha, what a joke.”

She had promised Xiao Ci to help her seek justice.

Seeking justice didn’t mean regaining lost affection for Xiao Ci.

Only a loving mother breeds filial children.

If the mother is unkind and the father doesn’t love, why bother returning to such a twisted family?

What she wanted was for the Jiang Family to pay a terrible price.

The first step was to make them feel physical pain.

The second step was pain of the soul-to make them live in endless torment, never seeing hope again.

“I’ll give you a free divination: Kan Gua is water, fortune is ominous. Within three months, the Jiang Family will go bankrupt.”

Hearing her curse their bankruptcy, Ye Shuhua flew into a rage and shouted, “Someone, grab that wretched girl Jiang Ci!”

At her command,

the thugs waiting outside immediately swarmed in.

Leading them was the Big Gold Chain Man who had been to the hospital.

He grinned viciously and said, “Wretched girl, you were pretty slippery at the hospital. You hurt my brother and his mother. I’m going to break your legs and throw you into the red-light district to work!”

“Boys, get her!”

He brought more than a dozen underlings.

The thugs pounced like hungry wolves.

Jiang Ci calmly walked to the sofa, and suddenly had a stone ashtray in her hand.

She held the ashtray above Jiang Fu’s head.

“Come on, worst case we all go down together. Even if I die, I’ll take someone with me.”

Jiang Fu’s eyes bulged wide: “Aba aba!”

This heartless fiend!

To survive, she was gambling with her own life.

Jiang Fu hated that his limbs couldn’t move, otherwise he would have jumped up and beaten her to death.

Ye Shuhua hadn’t expected her to be so ruthless and hurriedly stopped the thugs.

“Stop! Don’t hurt my husband!”

Big Gold Chain Man was a bit displeased. “Madam Jiang, what are you afraid of? No matter how bold she is, she wouldn’t dare kill anyone.”

“Oh, why wouldn’t I?” Jiang Ci smiled, the scar on her face twisted like an Evil Ghost.
“In all of your eyes, I’m just a lunatic, right? Lunatics can kill people here without any consequences, can’t they?”

“Come on, whoever comes up first, I’ll take Jiang Fu away first, then him.”

As Jiang Ci spoke, she made a move as if she was about to smash Jiang Fu’s head.

“No! Don’t be impulsive!” Ye Shuhua cried out in terror, her face paling even more.

Jiang Ci raised her eyes slightly, signaling the thugs to back off.

Looking at her crazed demeanor, for a moment, no one really knew how to deal with her.

Ye Shuhua was so angry her chest hurt, so she had no choice but to tell the thugs to retreat for now.

Big Gold Chain sneered, “Madam Jiang, my godmother is still lying in the hospital waiting for surgery money to save her life. Now you want me to leave-how am I supposed to explain that to my brothers?”

Zhang Qiang had said that the Jiang Family was very wealthy.

No matter what, Jiang Ci was still the adopted daughter of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Ci had hurt someone, so the Jiang Family should pay compensation.

Ye Shuhua understood his implication perfectly and snapped, “Jiang Ci has nothing to do with my Jiang Family anymore. If you want money, wait until she leaves the Jiang Family, then go after her!”

Godmother? Clearly, they just wanted to extort money!

“So if she doesn’t leave for a day, my godmother can only wait to die? Besides, my godmother is your family’s housekeeper, she was injured in your house, so as the host, you should pay up, right?” Big Gold Chain bared his yellow teeth and threatened, “If you don’t pay, then my brothers will have to move into the Jiang Family!”

“Mommy, Father needs to rest. Just give them some money and send them away,” Jiang Wan advised.

Reluctantly, Ye Shuhua told Jiang Wan to get money from the safe.

Jiang Wan brought back tens of thousands of yuan.

Ye Shuhua took the money and threw it on the ground without ceremony, her tone dismissive: “Get lost!”

“This money only covers two days of medical expenses. If it’s not enough, we’ll come back for more,” Big Gold Chain snorted, signaling his men to pick up the cash. He then gave Jiang Ci a sinister smile: “Stupid girl, if you have the guts, just hide in the Jiang Family forever. But from the looks of it, the Jiang Family doesn’t want to protect you anymore, hahahaha!”

The thugs left.

Ye Shuhua glared at Jiang Ci with resentment, “Why aren’t you leaving yet? Do you plan to freeload off my Jiang Family?”

Jiang Ci leisurely put down the ashtray and smiled, “Let me give you one more reading: with your crooked intentions and countless evil deeds, you’d better prepare a coffin. In a year, your whole family will be gone.”

“You-!” Ye Shuhua was so furious that blood kept seeping from her left eye.

Jiang Ci didn’t look back, turning gracefully and leaving.

“Mommy, I’ll take you to the hospital first,” Jiang Wan said worriedly, holding her chin.

Ye Shuhua said with concern, “Child, you’re hurt yourself, yet you’re still thinking of me. Old Li, get the car ready, take me and Wanwan to the hospital.”

“And you all, what are you standing around for? Hurry and take the master to get cleaned up!” she scolded the servants.

That stench had lingered in the living room for so long, and no one had done anything about it.

Jiang Wan quickly said, “I’ll go clean up Father!”

“Good child, you’re the Jiang Family’s heiress, how could you do such things yourself? Leave it to the servants.”

Ye Shuhua said comfortingly, “Wanwan, don’t worry. In my whole life, you’re my only daughter. Your father and I will never acknowledge Jiang Ci. You’ve seen what kind of person she is. People like her are bound to fall into the abyss, but my precious daughter will only get better and better.”

Jiang Wan was moved, a thought flashing through her mind.

Fortunately, the Jiang Family only had one child. If there were another, her parents probably wouldn’t value her so much.

With only her, the Jiang Family’s fortune would all fall into her hands in the future.

Everything was within reach.

As for Jiang Ci leaving the Jiang Family so recklessly, not only would that scoundrel Zhang Qiang go after her, but Song Sibe definitely wouldn’t let her off either.

Her future would surely be trampled into the mud, her life would be like Hell!

And as for herself, she just needed to enjoy being the pampered heiress of the Jiang Family~
