Chapter 110 Get out
After this one sentence, the owners also clamored. They all accused Gu Xiran for being malicious to hide the person and would bring out any disfigured maid to fool them.
They had seen Shang Xin before, but they didn't interact with her all the time like Jiang Haitian. It wasn't strange that they couldn't recognize her or deny that it was her because of their interest. However, that Jiang Haitian denied Shang Xin's ident.i.ty was enough to see to what extent his black-hearted heart was.
Gu Xiran looked at him with narrowed eyes. He suddenly laughed and said to Shang Xin, "You said that you are Jiang Yuqing, but your uncle says that you are not. What to do then? If we can't prove your ident.i.ty, I will have to pay them a lot of money."
Originally, Shang Xin only felt grief when Jiang Haitian didn't want to recognize her. She truly hadn't expected that her uncle was shameless to this extent. After she heard Gu Xiran say that, her grief turned into fury. She took two steps forward, pointed at Jiang Haitian and said, "You don't want to recognize me, your niece; I don't want to recognize you as my uncle even more. However, my name Jiang Yuqing was given by my father. You don't have the right to deny it!"
Jiang Haitian smiled, "Little girl, don't joke with me anymore, alright? My big brother doesn't have such an ugly daughter!"
Shang Xin got so angry that she almost cried, "Jiang Haitian, do you still have a conscience? Did you forget how you promised my father before his death to take care of me? In the end, your so-called care was to sell me. Now, because of money, you even lie with your eyes open and don't want to recognize me!"
Jiang Haitian's expression stiffened a bit and said guiltily, "I only recognize my niece. You are not my niece!"
Shang Xin took a deep breath and didn't continue the argument. Her eyes turned sad and she said, "I remember that when my mother was still alive, every winter, she would do needlework under the lamp every night till it was very late. At that time, I wasn't thoughtful and kept pestering her to go sleep. Every time, she would coax me, telling me to be well-behaved and to listen to her because if she didn't finish the winter coat before when it began to freeze, her brother-in-law would suffer from the cold. However, the winter coat that she sewed with her heart would often appear in less than three days inside the clothing store."
Jiang Haitian felt more and more guilt. He opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt her, but she didn't even spare him a glance and continued, "My father was a scholar who didn't get selected repeatedly. He was just a weak scholar who couldn't work in the field, but he had to provide for four mouths. He could only leave early and come back late at night after he went to write doc.u.ments for countless of people and teach people how to read. He even lowered his image to go do odd works at people's homes just for a bit more money to buy some pig offal from butcher Lu at the west of the village."
