"Oh, Xiao Mei, did Ning'er left already?" Xia Jiamu asked. He was playing chest by himself.
"Yes. He still have some meeting to attend." Xia Meilin said as she went to sit on the empty chair that was on his opposite. She took the piece of white horse from D6 and moved it to E8. "Checkmate."
"Hey. I did that." Xia Jiamu huffed.
She chuckled as she rearranged the pieces. "By the way... I have a question to ask you, grandpa."
"Go on my dear."
Xia Meilin paused and looked at him. "Is Yong Biqi my real mother?"
Xia Jiamu's eyes went wide in surprise when he heard the name. He looked around before he walked towards the door and locked it. "Who told you about her?"
Seeing how her grandfather reacted, Xia Meilin already knew the answer.
"Feng Ning. He said that she's coming after us and that we should be careful." Xia Meilin said honestly. If she wants to protect her grandparents, she needs to let them know that she's coming so that they can prepare for her arrival.
Xia Jiamu heaved out a heavy sigh before he went towards his desk. He took a key from his pocket and opened a locked drawer. He pulled out a photo from there and stared at it for a while.
It was a family photo with Yong Biqi in it. "It's true, Yong Biqi is your real mother."
She lowered her head and clenched her fists. That doesn't matter, right? The mother she knows was Yong Sining. "Please tell me why she hates us so much, grandpa."
Xia Jiamu sat on his swivel chair and sighed. He stared at the ceiling before he opened his mouth to tell her the story of her parents.
...
Yong Biqi and Yong Sining were twins. Yong Biqi was the older one while Yong Sining the youngest twin.
During their university days, Yong Sining and Xia Bolin fell in love with each other. As soon as they graduated, Xia Bolin married Yong Sining and Yong Sining became pregnant of Xia Sinian.
When Xia Sinian turned five years old, Yong Sining was pregnant but she also found out that Yong Biqi was pregnant and the father was Xia Bolin.
Yong Sining wanted to file a divorce after learning that Xia Bolin cheated on her but since Xia Bolin didn't want to lose Yong Sining, Xia Bolin lied about Yong Biqi; he used the 'similar faces' as a reason that's why he wasn't able to tell that it was Yong Biqi when he slept with her that night. He thought that he was with his wife, Yong Sining. He told everyone that Yong Biqi deceived him.
The lie that Xia Bolin said was believed by everyone. The Xia elders loved Yong Sining while they hated Yong Biqi because of what she did. She was banned from entering the Xia family.
Back then, the Xia elders arranged Yong Biqi with their youngest son, Xia Jianfeng. But Xia Jianfeng was still in the military amd he has someone else he loved that's why he refused to go home.
When Yong Biqi was brought to the hospital, Yong Sining was in her due date too. The Xia elders learned that Yong Sining's baby died, so they paid a nurse and ordered her to replace the dead baby with Yong Biqi's child.
Because of the misfortune she got, Yong Biqi promised to get her revenge against the whole Xia family. She always envied her younger sister, Yong Sining since she always get to have the good things in life, including the man they both loved.
What hurt her the most was she was betrayed by the man she loved. She thought Xia Bolin has finally chose her but in the end, he went back to Yong Sining. Aside from that, Yong Biqi learned about what the Xia elders did. How could they replace the babies and give her Yong Sining's dead baby?! Blinded by rage, Yong Biqi started planning her revenge against the Xia family.
Yong Sining and Xia Bolin didn't die because of an accident. They were kidnapped by a gang that was hired by Yong Biqi. Xia Bolin and Yong Sining rigexperienced all kind of torture, especially Yong Sining. She was raped and every gang members took their turns.
Meanwhile, Xia Bolin was forced to watch his wife get raped in front of him. Even if he wanted to do something about it he couldn't. He was tied and was forced to watch how they tortured his wife. After they were done with her, Xia Bolin was dismembered. He ended up bleeding to death, his death was slow and painful.
They were kidnapped for ten days. Ji Ruo and Xia Jiamu were searching for them. They found their dead bodies on the twelfth day. When they found them, it was already too late.
Ji Ruo fainted after seeing their bodies. She was on bed for months while Xia Jiamu hunted the gang that did this to his son and daughter-in-law.
Even if the Xia elders has an idea that Xia Sining might be the person behind Xia Bolin and Yong Sining's death, there was no evidence against her since Yong Biqi planned it all well. They tried looking for her but she disappeared without a trace.
...
After Xia Jiamu told the whole truth to Xia Meilin, the room was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
Xia Meilin couldn't believe her ears. Yong Biqi was so cruel and ruthless. She was heartless, even to her own sister. If she can kill her own sister, how much more her own daughter? No wonder Feng Ning told her to escape the country.
Tears rolled down her cheeks for her parents' death. Her heart ached when she learned of how they suffered because of Yong Biqi.
Yong Biqi... that was the name she will never forget. She will make sure that Yong Biqi will pay for the sins she committed against her parents!
Xia Meilin will not run away. She will not be afraid of Yong Biqi!
