CHAPTER 1199: CHAPTER 238: NEGOTIATING WITH A TIGER, SACRIFICING THE PLUM FOR THE PEACH

Ye Xiaoxiao stared at her closely, "How do you know?"

Yun Ya shrugged, "Because I once offended you, Brother Yan had someone investigate you. He told me this himself. Given Brother Yan’s current position, digging up some secrets is a piece of cake. Actually, I wanted to keep this card up my sleeve, but I fell into your trap. Now I’ve ended up in your hands, and since I’m about to die anyway, keeping this secret doesn’t make much sense. I might as well tell you, and you can be merciful and preserve my final bit of dignity, how about that?"

Ye Xiaoxiao took a deep breath; she shouldn’t trust her. But thinking about what she said, was there something wrong with her own background? She had never thought in this direction before. At this moment, hearing Ji Yunya bring it up, a seed of doubt was ultimately planted in her heart, and thinking about some unusual things over the years, she felt even worse.

"If you say it now, I might consider it, otherwise." She pointed to Xiao Bao’er, who had been tortured beyond recognition in the corner, "You’ll suffer worse than her."

Yun Ya laughed, "Untie the ropes from my hands and feet, and I’ll tell you."

"This place is full of your people, do you think I can still escape?"

Ye Xiaoxiao thought the same. She had been planning for days for this moment; there was no way Ji Yunya could escape.

"Someone, untie the ropes from her body."

A man in black walked in from outside, swiftly untied the ropes from Yun Ya’s hands and feet, then stepped back to the side.

Yun Ya stood up and stretched her limbs, hearing Ye Xiaoxiao’s sinister voice in her ear, "You better not play any tricks on me, or else...."

Yun Ya picked at her ear, "Relax, just look around, there are your people everywhere. What tricks can I still play?"

Saying this, she glanced at Xiao Bao’er, slumped on the ground like a rag, while someone behind her impatiently urged, "Are you done? I can’t wait any longer."

Deep pity and mockery flickered in Yun Ya’s eyes.

"That secret is...." She looked around; "So many people, do you think it’s appropriate for them to hear it?"

Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lip. If it’s really about her own background, she absolutely couldn’t let these people hear it. After thinking it over, she walked up, "Speak."

Yun Ya leaned over and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You’re not really Lady Ye’s biological daughter."

Ye Xiaoxiao’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively blurting out, "Impossible, you’re trying to deceive me."

Yun Ya chuckled, a glint of dark light flashing quickly in her eyes, "Do you resemble Lady Ye? Do you look like Mr. Ye? Like your brother?"

Ye Xiaoxiao’s gaze flickered slightly, then she glared sinisterly at Yun Ya, "You think that by saying this I’ll believe you? Ji Yunya, you’re smart, but you’ve used your intelligence in the wrong place."

Yun Ya helplessly shrugged, "If you don’t believe it, I can’t help it. Oh, by the way, you probably don’t know, but your aunt once had an affair with your dad. She was insanely jealous of Lady Ye and, out of spite on the day Lady Ye gave birth, she swapped a newborn girl with the one next door, letting Lady Ye unknowingly raise another’s daughter for so many years...."

Ye Xiaoxiao’s father had no siblings, but he had a cousin who was also her cousin-aunt, and had always had a good relationship with Ye Wenyong, equivalent to her own aunt. That was Ye Wenxing, the chairman of Xinghuang.

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped back: "Impossible... you’re lying to me...."

Yun Ya chuckled twice, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask your dear aunt. She’s the only one in the world who knows; even Lady Ye has been kept in the dark all these years."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn’t want to believe it, but over the years, many details surfaced, the oddity between her dad and her aunt, her mom’s peculiar attitude, things she didn’t understand before, she finally figured it out now...

"Do you want to know who the real Miss Ye is?" Yun Ya’s gentle voice was very persuasive. Ye Xiaoxiao, already somewhat deranged, blankly lifted her eyes, her face suddenly turning very ferocious, "Who?"

Yun Ya curled her lips into a light smile, "You’ve met this person, and she’s very familiar...."

Ye Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, "Who is it?"

"Oh, speaking of which, that girl’s background is also tragic. Clearly, she was the Ye family’s princess, yet she wandered the outside world for so many years and suffered so much...." Yun Ya shook her head as she spoke, her expression full of pity.

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly swung a slap towards Ji Yunya, "Shut up, do you think I’ll believe you?"
