Cheng Yi fainted.
She lay on the sofa, pale and unconscious. Only her lips were still red.
Ye Shuping whipped around, glaring at He Jing as she demanded, “What did you do?”
He Jing had not done anything; everyone around her could attest to it. She had not said anything untrue or gone overboard.

“Auntie, shouldn’t you call for a doctor instead of trying to blame people for Cheng Yi’s condition? Is this some sort of sick trick?”
Ye Shuping checked herself, realizing she had gotten her priorities mixed up. Frantically, she called for the housekeeper, saying, “Quick, quick, call the family doctor over.”
The housekeeper, who had been checking on Cheng Yi’s condition, immediately did as she was told. Soon, a skinny young man dressed in a white coat arrived and promptly went to his patient, checking Cheng Yi’s heartbeat with a stethoscope. “She’s fine. She fainted because she got herself too worked up. Let her lie in bed for a bit, and she should be fine.”
Ye Shuping heaved a huge sigh of relief. She followed the doctor’s instructions and helped the housekeeper carry Cheng Yi to her room.
He Jing stood rooted to the spot and tried to figure out Cheng Yi’s intentions. If the person who came today were the fake daughter, Ye Shuping, whom she regarded as her biological mother, would be saddened and upset by her mother’s reaction, perhaps going so far as to say something she ought not to have.
In that case, not only would Cheng Yi have salvaged the situation, but her classmates would also develop a negative opinion toward her.
At the thought of this, He Jing felt inexplicably amused. Fortunately, she was not the original He Jing but an imposter that had transmigrated into this body.
She had no feelings for Ye Shuping at all. No matter what the latter said, it would not affect or cause her to lash out. Cheng Yi’s plan was doomed to fail from the start.
Not wanting to stay for even a second longer, He Jing said to Shen Qiuyu, “Let’s go.”
Shen Qiuyu raged. “She’s been a mother to you for more than ten years. How could she treat you like this?”
He Jing offered her a wan smile. “It’s human nature to feel for what is theirs I’m not her biological daughter, so I don’t count for much in her eyes. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Still…
Wasn’t Ye Shuping too heartless?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I finally understand why I never liked you in the past, Sister Jing. It seems a change in family circumstances, and education can do a lot. You’re not the same person you once were,” Shen Qiuyu said.
Wu Yu agreed, nodding frantically, “I like the current Sister Jing. The previous Sister Jing was too cold…”
When Ye Shuping came out of Cheng Yi’s room, He Jing greeted her, “Since
Cheng Yi is fine, we’ll take our leave. Please excuse us.”
“Wait,” Ye Shuping said. She eyed those standing behind He Jing warily, and her expression changed. “I misspoke earlier. I shouldn’t have taken that tone with you. Jingjing, why don’t you stay here? I have something I’d like to discuss with you.”
He Jing’s curiosity spiked. Ye Shuping was still posturing aggressively, but at least her general attitude had slightly mellowed. It seemed Cheng Yi had said something to her just now.
He Jing was very curious to know what she had to say. However, Shen Qiuyu spoke up on her behalf and rejected Ye Shuping’s invitation without a second thought. “If you have something to say, then say it. Don’t even think about bullying Sister Jing while we’re not around to support her!”
These repeated humiliations at Shen Qiuyu’s hands had left Ye Shuping in a foul mood. Uncaring about her status or how she might be perceived, she reprimanded Shen Qiuyu. “Student Shen, I’m currently speaking to my goddaughter. Is it your place to interrupt a private conversation? Is this how your elders have taught you to behave?”
No matter how arrogant Shen Qiuyu was, she was still a young girl. Ye Shuping’s verbal lashing caused her eyes to mist with unshed tears. He Jing gripped Shen Qiuyu’s shoulder comfortingly even as she turned her icy gaze upon Ye Shuping. “If you have anything to say, just say it. Only you have claimed me as your gooddaughter, but nowhere have I said I agree to you being my godmother. I don’t wish to remain here any longer..”
