Jiang Youli's words left Jiang Zhao speechless. Just as he felt a pang of guilt, Jiang Yonghe began to sob again.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I blame myself for having such a mother. Sister, if you hate me, hit me or scold me, but don't blame my second brother..."

At this point, she struggled to break free from Jiang Zhao's grasp, bit her lip, and with a look of resignation, ran towards Jiang Youli in small, quick steps.

"Xiao He." Jiang Zhao panicked and quickly got up to follow her.

He ran up to Jiang Youli, who was about to kneel down, but Jiang Zhao, who was following behind, pulled her back in time.

"Xiaohe, what are you doing? I told you, this isn't your fault, it's your mother's fault!"

Jiang Youli burst out laughing again at the scene before her, and clapped her hands with an expression of watching a good show.

"Clap clap clap."

"Interesting, very interesting, you're putting on a melodramatic show right in front of me."

Seeing her so unyielding, the slight guilt that had just surfaced in Jiang Zhao vanished instantly. After helping Jiang Yonghe up, he stared coldly at Jiang Youli: "How can you be so unreasonable! Xiaohe has sincerely apologized to you, and you still have to mock her like this!"

“I’m not just mocking her, I’m mocking you all too,” Jiang Youli said. “Because she has a vicious mother who cares about her, she tried every means to create an opportunity to switch her with me, letting her take over twenty years of my wonderful life. Now that I, the real daughter, have come back, you, as my parents and brother, still defend her in front of me. I’m really unlucky to have such a miserable family member like you.”

Jiang Zhao's expression turned even more unpleasant.

Qin Bilian turned back to look helplessly at her husband. She was at her wit's end with their stubborn daughter.

In any case, whether from an emotional or rational perspective, Qin Yulian could not like her biological daughter.

Jiang Yangxu, who had been silent until now, spoke up again: "Alright, Youli, Xiaohe's mother has been brought to justice. Now she is all alone and helpless. Your mother and I have raised her for twenty years, so we can't just kick her out. Our Jiang family is big and powerful. Letting her stay is just another pair of chopsticks. It won't bother you, the real daughter, in the future."

Jiang Youli was not convinced. "Since it's just a matter of a pair of chopsticks, it doesn't matter where we raise her. Why do we have to keep her here to annoy me and remind me of the miserable life after she was switched at birth every time I see her?"

Even after he spoke up, his daughter still didn't obey. Like his wife Qin Yulian, Jiang Yangxu felt even more resentful towards his own daughter.

Compared to their adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe's well-behaved and sensible nature, their biological daughter is really in need of discipline!

Jiang Yonghe bit her lip, letting the tears flow freely. Her stubborn refusal to cry out made her look pitiful and endearing.

Seeing her continue to be so aggressive, Jiang Zhao couldn't help but lose his temper: "So you're saying you're determined to make us send Xiao He away today?"

Jiang Youli nodded, "Yes, this house can only have me, not her."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the four men turned ashen.

"Dad, Mom, Second Brother, I don't want to leave you," Jiang Yonghe said, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her delicate, tear-streaked face was truly pitiful to behold.

Jiang Zhao held her hand tightly. "Xiao He, don't worry, you don't have to leave! As long as I have a breath left, I will never allow you to leave the Jiang family! You will always be my sister, and a young lady of the Jiang family!"

Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow and said, "She's not leaving? Does that mean I have to leave?"

Qin Yulian's displeasure had almost reached its peak, but she still used the last bit of patience she had left to say, "Youli, you've just come back and you're not familiar with Yonghe yet. She's kind and sensible. You'll gradually accept her after spending some time with her. Her staying here will definitely not shake your position. After all, no matter what, you are our own daughter."

Jiang Youli directly exposed: "Is that so? Then why do you all look at me with disgust as soon as you see me? Is it because you don't have her fair skin and beauty, or her scholarly temperament? But have you forgotten that if I hadn't switched the bodies, the fair-skinned and beautiful one is me, and the scholarly temperament one is also me? Everything she has now is obtained by stepping on all the suffering I have endured."

Qin Yulian was taken aback, then shook her head in denial, "We don't dislike you, we just haven't gotten used to it yet..."

"You have to adapt to seeing your own daughter? Why don't your uncle and aunt act like this when they see me?" Jiang Youli questioned.

Qin Yulian was speechless, silently thinking to herself: "My elder brother and sister-in-law have no children, of course they're envious of her having so many kids."

She took a deep breath and tried to soften her tone as she advised, "Daughter, we won't treat you badly in the future. All your living expenses will be the same as Xiaohe's. Your father and I won't favor either of you."

Jiang Youli said, "Then should I thank you? Please, for me, not showing favoritism is the biggest favoritism! I have to say, you two are truly living bodhisattvas and great philanthropists. You don't want your own daughter, but you spend money to continue raising the daughter of your enemy! You two should really sit on the throne of the Great Buddha of Joy."

Qin Yulian held back for a moment and continued, "Youli, don't be angry. You are my own daughter. Your father and I finally found you. How could we let you continue to suffer outside?"

Jiang Youli said, "Do you know that I suffered and endured hardships outside, while my enemy's daughter enjoyed the best resources you gave her? Now she doesn't even acknowledge her own family and is about to be abandoned by you."

Jiang Zhao said with dissatisfaction, "You've got it right. We didn't abandon you. You're the one who's making things difficult for yourself. You could have stayed together, but you just can't stand Xiao He."

Jiang Youli said, "Of course I can't tolerate the daughter of a criminal. If I hadn't been lucky enough to survive, her mother would be a murderer who trafficked children! Her mother committed a crime, and the daughter herself has not been punished at all. Why should she continue to live a life of luxury with impunity?"

Jiang Yonghe staggered slightly.

Jiang Zhao supported her with concern, unable to contain his temper any longer: "With your arrogant and rude manner, do you deserve to let Xiao He leave while you stay!"

"Of course I deserve it. First, I'm of the Jiang family bloodline, and second, I'm mentally sound, unlike an idiot like you." Jiang Youli finished her tirade and lost all patience. "So, have you decided yet? Is she leaving or am I leaving?"

Jiang Zhao pulled Jiang Yonghe into his arms again and said firmly, "Dad, Mom, if I have to choose between the two, I only recognize Xiaohe as my sister!"

"Okay, one vote!" Jiang Youli held up her right index finger, looking at Qin Yulian. "And you?"

Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Qin Yulian said softly, "Daughter, don't be like this..."

"Alright, two votes!" Jiang Youli was too lazy to watch her pretentious act. Finally, she looked at her biological father, Jiang Yangxu, who was watching from the sidelines. "It seems your vote is useless now. Two votes have been cast for Jiang Yonghe. Alright, since that's the case, she stays, and I'm leaving."

Jiang Yonghe's eyes showed some anxiety. If this wild woman really left, who would marry Young Master Qi Huan in her place?
