The Bai family parents' bodies trembled upon receiving this medical report.
Pain and disbelief were etched on their faces. No one could accept that the child they had just recognized had…
…been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had only months to live.
The cause of the stomach cancer was simple: a long history of poor eating habits.
"Why would this happen?"
"My previous family was very harsh with me since I was young; they rarely let me eat at the table."
Xiao Ye's body had long been malnourished, and his face grew increasingly gaunt.
His gaze was faint, yet it carried a suffocating weight.
"Where were you all these years? Why didn't you discover the switched children?"
"We… we are so sorry, Xiao Ye."
The wealthy madam threw herself onto Xiao Ye, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
If only they hadn't focused all their attention on Bai Xian'er.
How could they have not found Xiao Ye?
"Are you trying to compensate me?"
Xiao Ye showed no sadness, his expression appearing very calm.
He was already dying; recognizing his birth parents was of no use.
Xiao Ye had returned with them only because of the oppression Bai Xian'er had inflicted upon him.
"From now on, don't interfere in matters between Bai Xian'er and me."
"Alright, Mom and Dad promise you. Son, what do you want to do during this time…"
His parents said this with tears in their eyes.
In this villa, everything belonging to Bai Xian'er was packed and sent back to her family.
The Bai parents were even more hesitant to intervene in Bai Xian'er's affairs, their guilt towards Xiao Ye overflowing like a river.
From this moment on, Bai Xian'er's nightmare began!
…
When Xiao Ye arrived at school in a chauffeured car, his clothes had been replaced with custom designer brands.
The entire school buzzed with excitement.
They witnessed the earth-shattering change in Xiao Ye's status.
He Yu and Huang Wei were incredibly excited as they saw Xiao Ye approaching.
"Brother Xiao, you look so imposing now, so handsome…"
They stared at Xiao Ye with envy.
Xiao Ye carried his schoolbag, his demeanor unchanged.
"Let's go."
He Yu and Huang Wei slung their arms over Xiao Ye's shoulders, responding cheerfully, "Right away, Brother Xiao! We'll be relying on you to cover for us at school from now on!"
This was truly a turnaround from rags to riches!
Just then.
Students around them let out murmurs of surprise.
Their gazes turned towards Bai Xian'er as she arrived.
Her previously luxurious attire had become incredibly plain and simple.
Bai Xian'er, who had been like a noble princess, had transformed into Cinderella.
"Sister Xian'er, are you role-playing as a poor person?"
A group of sycophants, not yet understanding the situation, surrounded Bai Xian'er as they followed her.
Bai Xian'er's expression stiffened as she walked through the campus.
He Yu and Huang Wei couldn't help but sneer, "Bai Xian'er, you have days like this too!"
Xiao Ye's eyes were dark. Seeing Bai Xian'er with her head down, silently enduring,
He let out a faint smile.
It was chilling.
The sycophants were still waiting for Bai Xian'er to give them their daily allowances, but after following her all the way, they received no reaction.
Bai Xian'er said to the sycophants, "You all, get out of the way! Don't follow me anymore!"
The sycophants were bewildered.
They watched Bai Xian'er's hurried retreating figure.
He Yu and Huang Wei were in high spirits, finally able to release the frustration they had held for so long.
"From now on, there will be no more 'Miss Bai' in the entire school!"
When Xiao Ye and his companions entered the classroom, they stunned countless students.
They couldn't believe that someone like Xiao Ye, who relied on poverty subsidies for his studies,
Had suddenly become a rich second generation!
The teacher's attitude towards Xiao Ye also became much more polite.
By the end of the class, countless girls surrounded Xiao Ye.
They chattered with curiosity, wanting to know what had happened to Xiao Ye.
He Yu and Huang Wei, unable to keep secrets, boastfully said, "Our Brother Xiao is now the young master of the Bai family…"
"Wasn't Bai Xian'er the young lady? How did it become Xiao Ye!?"
The girls were full of questions, while He Yu and the others explained.
Xiao Ye packed his schoolbag, preparing to leave. "Are you guys coming with me?"
He Yu and Huang Wei still wanted to chat with the girls; they had never experienced such enthusiasm from girls before.
They heard Xiao Ye's voice and excitedly followed him.
"Brother Xiao, here we come!"
Xiao Ye and his group found Bai Xian'er's classroom.
The surrounding sycophants appeared in the classroom, looking at Xiao Ye with odd expressions.
"Kid, how did you become so arrogant?"
Xiao Ye's gaze fell heavily on the sycophants. Not long ago, it was they who had beaten him!
"I want you to follow my orders."
Xiao Ye casually pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket.
The sycophants' eyes immediately lit up!
…
When Bai Xian'er walked out of the classroom, the sycophants blocked her path.
Bai Xian'er's expression turned cold. She said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me? What are you doing…"
"Bai Xian'er, we heard you're no longer a young lady?"
Bai Xian'er's face turned pale.
She saw the sycophants sneering. From their schoolbags, they pulled out a toy snake and threw it at Bai Xian'er.
Bai Xian'er screamed in fright and stumbled into an embrace.
She looked up to see Xiao Ye!
"You've dirtied my clothes. Can you afford to pay for it?"
Xiao Ye, using her tone from the past, taunted Bai Xian'er.
Upon seeing Xiao Ye, Bai Xian'er's face turned even paler.
She knew Xiao Ye wanted revenge. Bai Xian'er glared fiercely at Xiao Ye, "Xiao Ye, you stole my parents, isn't that enough?"
He Yu and Huang Wei sneered, "That originally belonged to Brother Xiao. How could it be enough?"
Xiao Ye stood in front of Bai Xian'er, looking down at her from above.
"You bullied so many people at school. You shouldn't be afraid, right?"
Bai Xian'er's chest heaved with anger. She wanted to leave.
But no one allowed her to.
Bai Xian'er was cornered. She saw Xiao Ye hand her a piece of white paper.
"My shoes are dirty. Wipe them for me."
Bai Xian'er couldn't believe it. She had never been bullied like this before.
Her eyes immediately reddened.
However, Xiao Ye remained unmoved.
"If you don't wipe them, you know the consequences outside of school…"
The sycophants were rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
Bai Xian'er stiffly took the paper, already regretting her past actions.
If she hadn't beaten Xiao Ye so badly back then, she might not be facing such revenge now.
Bai Xian'er bent down to wipe Xiao Ye's shoes. He Yu and Huang Wei nearby laughed with great satisfaction.
Bai Xian'er said, "Xiao Ye, don't be so despicable!"
Despicable?
Bai Xian'er seemed to have forgotten what she had been like at school before.
By the time they reached the cafeteria, the news that Bai Xian'er was no longer a young lady had already spread like wildfire.
Those who had been bullied by Bai Xian'er before were not about to let her off the hook in the cafeteria.
Bai Xian'er spent half an hour in the cafeteria and couldn't even get any food.
Her impoverished parents at home had also confiscated all her valuables.
