Chapter 222 The White Lotus Sister
My twin sister Ye Lingruo and I were born when our parents were hunted down by their enemies. My sister was lost, and my father has been searching for her ever since. He never expected that she would be in this Xuanli Divine Realm!
After listening to her, Bai Yue understood the gist of it. She glared at her two brothers-in-law with annoyance. If they hadn't been so careless and switched babies back then, they wouldn't have lost their son for so many years, and the Ye family wouldn't have been unable to find their daughter for so long!
Long Qingcheng and Long Qinghao felt awkward under their sister-in-law's glare, and they touched their noses sheepishly, wondering when this would ever be over!
Fortunately, the heavens have been kind to me! After all these years, my Li'er has been found again and returned to the Long family!
This is all thanks to Ruo'er! Fortunately, this child is blessed; the news of her biological parents has been found!
Sigh! I feel a little bad for her because of yesterday's wedding! Bai Yue shook her head with heartache. On one side was her biological son, and on the other was her adopted daughter whom she had doted on for many years. She couldn't very well blame her son who had just returned home. If it were anyone else, she would definitely have gone to their door and stood up for her adopted daughter!
Otherwise, why don't you take Ruo'er as a concubine? It would be perfect if the two sisters could serve the same husband, making it a double blessing!
Bai Yue seemed to have come up with the perfect solution, and looked at Jun Moli expectantly!
Gu Lingxi and Jun Moli both turned pale when they heard Bai Yue's suggestion!
"No, no!" they both exclaimed in unison! They exchanged a glance, and Jun Moli looked at Gu Lingxi with unwavering determination!
Mother, I will never take any concubines or mistresses in my life except for Xi'er, my only wife!
"Yes! My man has only one wife, me. I wouldn't agree to him marrying another." Gu Lingxi and Jun Moli exchanged a knowing smile. Their hearts were in sync.
If Bai Yue hadn't been Jun Moli's mother, Gu Lingxi would have really wanted to argue with her about this terrible idea!
Seeing that neither of them agreed with her suggestion, Bai Yue gave up.
Let's leave this matter at that for now. Your father and I will comfort Ruo'er separately later! She cried all night last night and refuses to eat anything today! Sigh! We can't blame her; it just means your fate with her was too shallow!
Um, Xi'er, right? Now that you've married Li'er, you're a member of our Long family. Since all the uncles are here, we'll add your name to the family genealogy. That way, it'll be perfectly legitimate! Oh, and there are two children too!
You said yesterday that you already have two children? Where are the two children? Bai Yue asked anxiously!
Gu Lingxi secretly pinched Jun Moli. His mother had said so much, and this was probably the real reason she was called here! But what was she supposed to say?
Jun Moli received Gu Lingxi's signal and stepped forward!
Mother, Xi'er's journey to find me this time was long and arduous. She was afraid that the children might encounter some danger along the way, so she left the children with her master. Xi'er and I will set off in the next day or two to pick up the children and bring them home!
"Yes! That's right!" Gu Lingxi nodded in agreement.
Bai Yue and Long Qingshan were overjoyed. "Good, good! You should set off as soon as possible to pick up my two precious grandchildren!"
In the side hall, Ye Lingruo bit her lip hard, the faint smell of blood filling her mouth, but she didn't care at all!
Why? She looks exactly like her sister, and she even compromised by becoming a concubine, so why can't Brother Li accept her?
Bai Yue sighed, took Ye Lingruo's small hand, and gently comforted her, "Ruo'er, you heard it too, Mother has already shamelessly tried to get you a chance! But matters of the heart aren't something you can just accept on a whim. Perhaps it's just that time hasn't passed yet. Give Li'er some more time!"
"Mother!" Ye Lingru shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears. "Mother! Is it because I'm not good enough? Is it because my strength is too weak that Brother Li doesn't like me?"
Silly child, your brother Li isn't that kind of person! It's just that I think he and your sister knew each other first, they have a foundation of affection, and they have two children. Right now, they're living the sweet life of a couple!
Perhaps in time, he will see your good qualities. With your identical appearance to your sister, are you afraid you won't win Li'er's heart?
Mother! Ruo'er knows! I won't give up. I will definitely do better than my sister and make Brother Li look at me with new eyes!
Ye Lingruo watched Bai Yue walk away, her handkerchief clenched tightly in her hand!
Ever since she learned that she was not her parents' biological child when she was a child, she has always lived cautiously, always pretending to be well-behaved and sensible, and always afraid of losing her identity as the eldest daughter of the Long family!
She was always terrified that her mother's own flesh and blood would come back and fight her for this precarious family bond!
During a trial, she unexpectedly saved a man she fell in love with at first sight. She was overjoyed to discover he was actually her parents' biological son! She had heard her parents say that if they found their son, they would marry him to him, strengthening their family ties!
After several years, Brother Li finally agreed to marry her. She felt that God had never wronged her in this life. Although her biological parents did not want her, she now had parents and a man she loved as her husband, which was enough!
However, this joy was too short-lived; it vanished before they even had a proper wedding ceremony!
Touching her face, Ye Lingruo felt for the first time that she could hate this beautiful face! Why, if she, Ye Lingruo, already existed, did she also have to have Ye Lingxi? She had fantasized countless times about having relatives, but now she didn't want any relatives at all!
The emerald green leaves swayed, and the young lady was still in a daze!
Miss, Miss, where are we going now?
Distracted from her thoughts, Ye Lingruo quickly composed herself!
Let's go to Brother Li's place!
But, Miss, it seems that Young Master Li doesn't like us!
Every time I go, they won't let me into the yard, and Cui Se mutters to herself!
Then let's go find my sister. Surely Brother Li won't stop us sisters from recognizing each other!
Ye Lingxi was chatting with Jun Moli in the courtyard, laughing and talking, when the courtyard gate suddenly opened and Ye Lingruo came over with a food box and Cui Se!
The two exchanged a silent glance. It's here; what's meant to happen will happen!
Seeing the two people who were all smiles just a second ago quickly suppress their smiles the moment they saw her, Ye Lingruo felt a little awkward and uncomfortable!
Brother Li! Sister Li!
Ruo'er obtained some top-grade Biluo Fruit and brought it for you to try!
As she spoke, she placed the fruit on the stone table without waiting for the two men to respond.
Sister, have one, try it! You've definitely never eaten this before! This precious fruit can only be found in the forbidden areas of the five great families!
Ye Lingxi looked at the Azure Fruit being held halfway up the wall and really wanted to say that she had plenty in her space and was tired of eating them. But the words were on the tip of her tongue! She thought better of it and decided to let her have her say. If it could resolve the misunderstanding between them, her mother's spirit in heaven would be at peace!
Gu Lingxi was about to reach out and take the fruit!
*Thud!* The fruit fell to the ground and rolled several times!
"Oh my!" Ye Lingruo exclaimed dramatically, jumping up and covering her mouth!
With a pitiful look on her face, she said, "Sister, I know you don't like me, but... but I've always wanted to be close to you!"
