Chapter 195 Mingyin Seeks Her Own Death
“Mingyin, I know you hate me, but now we are both members of the Ming family. I don’t want any conflict with you, so as not to upset Grandpa.”
“Who’s your grandfather? Don’t think that just because you have the blood of the Ming family, you can really become the eldest daughter of the Ming family. Let me tell you, I’ve been with my grandfather since I was a child. He has devoted his heart and soul to me. Even if you have the blood of the Ming family in your body, don’t even think about replacing me.” Ming Yin threatened her.
“I have no intention of replacing anyone.” Chu Xinglan replied to her, “Mingyin, since you said that Grandpa has devoted his heart and soul to you, you can’t let him down. I’m only here for a short time, and I will leave.”
After she married Gu Ye, she became Gu Ye's wife. The only reason she was willing to stay here was because she selfishly wanted to experience the family affection she had never felt before.
"You're leaving here?" Mingyin didn't believe it at all. Who would be willing to leave after finding out that their real family member was so rich? This Chu Xinglan was even more cunning than her, actually lying to her like that.
"Don't lie to me. You finally found out that your biological father is so rich. How could you possibly leave? Whether you want to leave or not, with me here, you won't get a single penny from the Ming family."
As Mingyin spoke, she suddenly opened her arms and pushed towards Chu Xinglan. Chu Xinglan was sharp-witted and instinctively dodged to protect himself. Mingyin missed and fell to the ground face-first.
Standing in the pavilion and witnessing this scene, Master Ming was so angry that he trembled all over. He had never expected Ming Yin to behave so badly. If she really pushed Chu Xinglan down, he was afraid that the child in her womb would be in danger.
Grandpa Ming, leaning on his cane indignation, was about to go down and scold Ming Yin when someone beside him supported him, afraid that he would fall.
Grandpa Ming suddenly changed his mind again; he wanted to see what Ming Yin would do next.
When Mingyin saw the maid bringing over a cup of hot water, she immediately pretended to be innocent.
"Chu Xinglan, I know that I took over your identity as the eldest daughter of the Ming family and you have resentment in your heart, but you can't just push me down. I can't control how things turned out. I was about the same age as you at the time and I didn't know anything."
The maid, unaware of what had happened, stared blankly at them. Seeing Mingyin lying on the ground, she naturally assumed that Chu Xinglan had pushed her down.
Soon, Mingyin's aggrieved cries attracted the attention of others. Everyone stared at Chu Xinglan with strange looks, thinking that this new eldest daughter of the Ming family was not Mingyin.
Chu Xinglan stood quietly in place, coldly watching Ming Yin's performance.
Mingyin went to great lengths to get rid of her.
“I already know I was switched at birth, and I won’t argue with you anymore. But I was also raised by my grandfather with great care from a baby. I’m already very grateful that he didn’t drive me away and was willing to keep me. Xinglan, can you keep me? For my grandfather’s sake, I’m willing to be your slave.”
As Mingyin spoke, she knelt down in front of Chu Xinglan and kowtowed vigorously.
The maid felt a pang of sadness when she saw the once-proud young lady now so humble, and even her past faults were now ignored.
"Although Miss Mingyin is an adopted daughter, she is still a young lady of the Ming family, and you are also a young lady of the Ming family. No one is much more noble than the other, so why make things difficult for others?"
An older maid spoke up.
"That's right. He used to be such an arrogant person, but just because he wasn't a biological son, he had to kneel on the ground and beg people who were only related to him by blood but didn't actually live in the Ming family to kneel down."
Everyone present was criticizing Chu Xinglan.
Mingyin was secretly pleased.
She then tried to win over the servants by turning over a new leaf, and then pinned all the blame on Chu Xinglan. The longer this went on, the more Old Master Ming would only see her and no longer see Chu Xinglan. So what if she was his biological daughter? If she didn't get Old Master Ming's attention, she was no different from an outsider!
What are you all talking about?
The old man's angry voice grew louder as he approached.
Everyone present fell silent when they saw Grandpa Ming walking towards them with a cane.
Mingyin, still kneeling on the ground, felt even happier when she saw Old Master Ming approaching.
If Grandpa Ming were to witness his own granddaughter bullying the granddaughter he had raised since childhood, wouldn't he feel sorry for her and begin to despise Chu Xinglan?
“Grandpa, Xinglan said that I took over her identity as the eldest daughter of the Ming family, and she wanted to drive me away. I said that I couldn’t bear to leave you, Grandpa, and she got angry and pushed me to the ground.”
Mingyin couldn't help but sob as she spoke.
"Miss Mingyin is so pitiful. How could the old man's own granddaughter be treated like this?"
When an even worse person appears, the previous bad behavior becomes insignificant.
That's how they see Mingyin now, so they'd rather protect Mingyin, who's always been with them, than believe they've been fooled and misunderstood Chu Xinglan.
Chu Xinglan was startled when she saw Old Master Ming approaching. She didn't want to argue, but she was afraid that Ming Yin was trying to harm her. If she argued once, there would be another time, and another time after that. Would she always end up arguing and making a scene over something like this?
She stared at Grandpa Ming, waiting for his reaction. If Grandpa believed Ming Yin's words, it meant that their fate was shallow and she was destined not to stay in the Ming family. Having lived a second life, she had a clearer understanding of things and decided to live more freely. She would not force things that she could not get. Family ties were something she could only long for but could not reach.
Grandpa Ming looked at the hypocritical and pretentious Ming Yin and trembled with anger. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed that Ming Yin was such a person. It seemed that Xiao Ma hadn't lied at all. Ming Yin really wanted her biological parents to kill Lan Lan. She had tried to kill Xiao Ma several times to silence him.
How can such a vicious, lying, hypocritical, and treacherous person remain here? If she is here, wouldn't his own granddaughter be in grave danger?
Everyone saw that Grandpa Ming was trembling with anger and assumed that he was angry with his own granddaughter, and even Ming Yin thought so.
"Grandpa, I fell and it hurts so much." Mingyin stretched out her hands with a pained expression. Her hands were indeed covered with fragments of pebbles, and there were bloodstains on her palms. But it was all her own fault. If she hadn't tried to push Chu Xinglan, she wouldn't have fallen.
She chuckled inwardly. Normally, if she had even the slightest bump or bruise, Grandpa Ming would be heartbroken. Seeing her like this now, wouldn't he be even more upset and disappointed in his own granddaughter?
Old Master Ming closed his eyes briefly, sighed deeply, and said, "Ming Yin, from today onwards, leave the Ming family and go back to your biological parents."
