Chapter 659
Seeing the live interview by the reporter, Ye Xingguang was furious, so furious that her lungs were about to explode. Yet her colleagues were all moved by the superb performances of that family of three. One by one, they criticized the media for going to the Xia’s Family to rip open their wounds, deeming it utterly inhumane.
Ye Xingguang didn’t know how to contain herself so she didn’t dash out of work to the Xia’s Family to slap them hard across their faces.
“Xingguang, the President wants you to come over.” At this time, the Chief of Staff, Tang Xiao, called her on the office phone. noveldrama
Ye Xingguang took a deep breath, and another deep breath, suppressing the surging rage pulsating through her veins, and left her office, taking the elevator upstairs.
The President’s office was on the top floor, and right out of the elevator, there were strict security personnel who were to perform a security check on her.
At this time, Tang Xiao came over, gesturing a sign, implying she was exempted from the check. Since it was at the workplace, Ye Xingguang bowed slightly towards Tang Xiao and greeted him respectfully, “Chief of Staff Tang.”
...
Tang Xiao smiled, leading the way in front and brought her to the President’s office. After opening the door for her, he stood at the entrance and said, “Go in, the President is waiting for you inside.”
“Hmm.”
She walked in, and Ye Shiting was on the phone. Seeing her coming in, he gestured her to sit, then continued with his call. Two minutes passed and he had finished his call. Looking at her standing in front of the office desk, Ye Shiting repeated, “Why are you standing, lil’ sis, sit.”
He poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
Ye Xingguang expressed her thanks then got down to business confidently, “Mr. President, you called me?”
“Hmm, I watched the interview by the Xia’s Family, and so I wanted to ask you about Xia Qiongqiong.”
Ye Shiting looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze, “I remember you once told me that you also belonged to the mermaid species. So, are you Xia Qiongqiong, the other daughter of the Xia’s Family?”
Just as Ye Xingguang was about to speak, Ye Shiting added, “I want the truth.”
When he finished, he picked up his teacup and took a light sip, “I just got off the phone with my younger brother. He was full of lies, I didn’t believe a word.”
What had the malignant tumor said?
Ye Xingguang held the glass and took a sip of tea. Remembering the words the couple and Xia Yanyan said during the interview, her anger hadn’t subsided yet. What she couldn’t bear most wasn’t their posturing in front of the media, but their deliberate reveal of her fishtail and contrasting it against Xia Yanyan’s, manipulating people to have a psychological preference over the other.
Not only was her fishtail dull when she was young, but even the upper half of her body including her face was dull. It’s said that a fair complexion can cover a lot of flaws, while a dark complexion shatters all. She’d forgotten what she looked like as an ugly duckling when she was young. But that video was now leaked, irritating her!
She absolutely did not want to let people know what she looked like when she was little. She admitted that looking at her past self, she felt a little inferior.
No girl doesn’t love to look beautiful, and she’s no different.
After some thought, Ye Xingguang nodded, “Big brother, I am indeed the other daughter of the Xia’s Family.”
Ye Shiting put back his teacup on the table, “As I suspected, tell me the whole story.”
Ye Xingguang gave a bitter smile, “There’s not much to say, you probably have seen the video of me as a child. Dark as pitch, the moment I was born I was shunned by my family, disliked. In my parents’ eyes, I am the stain of Xia’s Family. My only mission was to donate marrow to Xia Yanyan to ensure her health. It’s said that donating marrow is harmless, but I wasn’t as lucky as most donors. After the donation, my health began to decline, my resistance weakened and I would always catch cold and fever, eventually slipping to a terrible state of health, and then the Xia family released me into the sea …”
