Chapter 304: Chapter 304: A Child Doesn’t Find His Mother Ugly (8)

Su Yixia’s eyes bulged with rage, her instinct was to tear Lin Yishan apart for uttering such words.

How capable. Use her then discard her as soon as she becomes useless!

And now to slander her completely!

"Grandma," Su Yixia took a step forward, her voice urgent, "alone, I couldn’t possibly bring someone in."

Grandma Xiao smiled, looking back at Lin Yishan, "Is there anything wrong with what she said? Did she trap you?"

Lin Yishan could only lower her head with her fingers interlocked in a pose of twisted frustration.

Her contrived demeanor was undoubtedly glaring in the eyes of the elder, who snorted through her nostrils, addressing Lin Jiale: "This is the daughter you’ve raised."

Lin Jiale remained silent, his head bowed as if admitting his fault.

Lin Yishan, noticing this, cried out, "It wasn’t me who let the person in, it was my mom."

Xiao Shuju pursed her lips—had Lin Yishan not begged her for help, would she have asked the gatekeeper to let Gu’s mother in?

Expressions flickered across the faces of Xiao Shulan and Xiao Shuzhu.

Old lady, isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?

Although they had long thought that Xiao Shuju’s excessive kindness to Lin Yishan was bound to backfire eventually.

If you’re not her real mother, you’re not her mother, and not her real daughter, she’ll bite you eventually, especially someone like Lin Yishan who comes from an extraordinary background.

Perhaps only Lin Yishan herself hadn’t realized how things stood, slightly pleased and even felt a sense of relief.

Little did she know, the elder remarked at that moment, "Isn’t your mother in the coffin already?"

Lin Yishan’s face changed dramatically.

Grandma Xiao slapped down her teacup, commanding, "Kick these two out. They’re not Xiao family, what are they doing here?"

Su Yixia clenched her lips. When the Xiao family’s servants came to lead her away, she didn’t resist. After all, she was not yet formally part of the Xiao family.

Unlike her, Lin Yishan’s entire demeanor collapsed, her face a crumbling mess.

Why was she not considered a Xiao family member?

What did the old lady mean by that?

"Great-grandma, I—"

"You? You are a far cry from her! She at least called out ’mom.’ And you—who did you claim did it?!" the elderly lady dismissed her swiftly, letting her die with clarity, "A girl with no manners! And you dare claim to be one of us, the Xiao family."

By the time Lin Yishan came to her senses, it was already too late.

Xiao Shuju didn’t even glance at her.

The Lin family might be anxious inside, but they could only bow their heads and admit their daughter’s mistakes here.

"Get out!" Grandma Xiao glared at her fiercely.

Lin Yishan’s legs went limp like noodles, collapsing on the floor, tears falling like beads off a necklace, sobbing uncontrollably.

But nobody dared resist the orders of the elderly lady. And everyone knew Lin Yishan indeed deserved a lesson. No one from the Xiao family would lightly speak a word in her defense.

It had to be said, the third branch had been too presumptuous. If their scheming had succeeded, what would have become of the others?

Two robust women approached, lifted Lin Yishan by the arms, and carried her straight out the front door.

As soon as Lin Jiale saw this, he tried to turn around to follow his daughter, but suddenly Kang Junjia by his side restrained his arm covertly.

Kang Junjia shook his head at him.

Lin Jiale later thought, Wa Zicong was outside, and the old lady surely wouldn’t really throw his daughter into the street, so he calmed down a bit.

Almost all the Xiao family members felt a tightness in their chests at this sight, probably thinking how incredibly lucky Gu Nuan had been. If she had brought her humble mother shamelessly here, she probably wouldn’t have received the treatment she had today. It goes to show, some fools inadvertently ended up helping the Gu mother and daughter.
