Lu Yao's body froze instantly. She turned back abruptly, her heart surging with emotion. "What do you mean?! I'm not your biological child?!"

Tao Rui almost laughed out loud, "I know, you must also want to be not my biological child, and want to make a comeback like Lu Xi and turn yourself into a rich lady. But, this is impossible.

“If you want to know the reason, take me, your stepfather, and your sister in.

"Lu Yao, you have to know that no matter what time it is, we are a family. You think about Lu Xi all the time, and you always consider Lu Xi. Does she appreciate it?

"If you were someone with a conscience, wouldn't you hurry to the door to greet the sister who raised you on such an important day? But look at her. The party starts at six o'clock, and it's already seven o'clock. She didn't see you, but she didn't even ask. Does this look like she cares about you?"

Lu Yao felt hopeless.

She envied Xixi, but she didn't expect to become rich. She knew she was not destined to be rich. She just wanted to have a mother who loved her to prove that she was not so bad that her parents didn't want her.

Hiding these turbulent emotions, Lu Yao sneered and refuted Tao Rui, "I don't take myself too seriously! Am I a big shot? Why do you have to let Xixi come out to greet me?

“Don’t mention that Xixi is the daughter of the Shen family. Even if she was a left-behind child who grew up in the countryside with me, she wouldn’t have to come out to greet me, right?

"You don't need to sow discord here. Xixi has done nothing wrong to me, and it has nothing to do with you. Why do you act like Xixi must be grateful to you?

"To be honest, I've seen through it these days. You're not really kind to me. You just want to use me to curry favor with Xixi. But I'm sorry, this road I'm on is a dead end. Don't bother me anymore. Our fate as mother and daughter has ended."

Lu Yao took her daughter's hand and walked inside, but her hands were shaking.

No one knows how much courage she needs to say the four words "our fate is over"!

In the past, she still had expectations for her mother and longed for family affection and maternal love. Even though she was abandoned at the age of sixteen, after reuniting with her mother, she always remembered how good Tao Rui was to her when she was a child.

But recent events have made Lu Yao realize clearly that her mother just doesn't love her. It's not that she doesn't like her daughter, but she just doesn't love her as a daughter.

Maybe what Xixi said is right. Her mother actually doesn’t love anyone but the one who can bring her wealth and glory. To her, the child is a cash cow, not the fruit of love.

Tao Rui was immediately furious after hearing this, "Lu Yao, you are just like your useless father, a brainless stubborn person! Go ahead, go in, don't you feel embarrassed? They are all rich ladies, and you are a country girl, you are embarrassed and have no family to support you, you will definitely be pointed at and laughed at."

Lu Yao lowered her eyes and saw, this was her mother. In her mother's eyes, she was so unpresentable and she would never get recognition.

But Xixi is different. She always says, "Sister, you are so good, you are so pretty, you are kind and gentle, you deserve all the good things."

Before, Lu Yao would feel bad because her life was indeed terrible, but Xixi said that it was not her fault, so why should she blame herself?

Lu Yao looked down at herself. She wasn’t as bad as her mother said today. She wouldn’t embarrass Xixi.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao seemed to find a little confidence and walked in with her chest held high.

Tao Rui originally wanted to follow, but was stopped by the servant at the door, "Sorry, you can't enter without an invitation."

Tao Rui pointed at Lu Yao in front of her and said anxiously, "I am her biological mother! Your second young lady used to call me mom. I am her adoptive mother."

"I'm sorry, our wife has said that the second young lady has an adopted sister, but she has never mentioned the adoptive mother."

"You..." Tao Rui's expression suddenly changed. She turned her head and cursed softly, "Lu Xi, that heartless ungrateful bastard!"

After scolding her, she pulled He Taihua over and said, "You must know this person, right? He's your wife's uncle."

The servant smiled politely, "Yes, I know Mr. He, but our wife has said that no matter who comes, they must hand in the invitation and sign in before entering."

This means that even if the king of heaven comes, it won’t work, because no one’s face is more important than an invitation.

He Taihua's expression suddenly changed, as if he had been slapped in the face.

He Xinxin was unhappy and pointed at the servant and scolded, "Are those two holes on your face for breathing? My dad is Mrs. Shen's biological brother, and you told me that I must have an invitation? Invitations are for outsiders. My dad is a family member, do you understand?!"

The servant resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Was it a kiss? Do you think I don't know?

"I'm sorry, I'm just following my wife's instructions. Please, Mr. He, give our wife a call."

He Taihua's expression was extremely ugly. If he could get through to Wei Yutong, would he have to run to Lu Yao's house with such a shameless face just to get in? !

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Shen Youran walked over and said with a surprised smile: "Uncle, Aunt, why don't you come in?"

As soon as he saw Shen Youran, He Taihua immediately responded as if he had seen a savior, "Of course."

Then, he turned to He Xinxin, "Xin'er, call me cousin. Your cousin is a big star, and she is also a talented cello player, a famous talent."

Shen Youran couldn't help laughing, "Uncle, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed."

He Xinxin looked at Shen Youran, "Cousin, I know you. You are famous and really pretty. You are a thousand times or ten thousand times prettier than Lu Xi. Lu Xi is not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

Shen Youran's face changed when she heard this, and she pretended to be angry and said, "Xin'er, don't talk nonsense, Jiu'er is also your second cousin. Uncle, aunt, please come in."

The servant at the door frowned, "Miss, this..."

Shen Youran smiled, "It's okay. Today is my birthday. My uncle and aunt came to celebrate my birthday. How can I turn them away? Although Jiuer has some disputes with her aunt, she is sensible and should understand. She won't make a fuss about it."

What this actually meant was that the reason Tao Rui and He Taihua's family couldn't get in was because of Lu Xi's meddling.

Although the servants had some objections, they did not dare to stop her. After all, this was the eldest daughter of their Shen family.

"Uncle, aunt, you guys can just wander around. I have to go entertain some friends. I'll come find you later."

Shen Youran came here just to bring them in, but she didn't want to embarrass herself by standing with them.

After walking a few steps away, Shen Youran could still hear the discussion of the family behind him.

"See? This is her upbringing. I really like Youran. I'm always polite to you. How could I look down on you? Look at that ungrateful Lu Xi. I raised her for a few years, but now she's become a phoenix and doesn't even recognize me as her mother! She only recognizes her sister and doesn't even think about whether there would be Lu Yao without me."

Tao Rui is now full of anger. When she thinks about how she can still suffer such grievances after marrying into a wealthy family, she keeps complaining.

He Taihua was annoyed when she heard this. "Say less. Things are different now. She is the second daughter of the Shen family. Who are you?"

Tao Rui was choked and speechless. It was indeed as He Taihua said. Wei Yutong didn't even acknowledge her as her brother's wife. It was normal for Lu Xi to ignore her.

Fortunately, there is Shen Youran. This niece is reliable and more filial than Lu Yao. If I had known earlier, I would not have given birth to that money-losing thing. I really can't expect anything.

Lu Yao had no idea that Tao Rui's family had been let in. She led her daughter to look for Lu Xi in the huge garden.

It was easy to find my sister. Among those young, beautiful girls with gorgeous clothes and bright looks, Lu Xi was as shining as a star.

"Mom, mom, my aunt is over there. She looks so beautiful today, like a fairy."

Guoguo clapped her hands excitedly, and then ran over happily, "Aunt, aunt, Guoguo is here. Wow, my uncle-in-law is here too, he's so handsome!"
