There was no way that a Jiang Family birthday party would be anything but ordinary .
In fact, Xue Yaoyao didn't want to be present at such an occasion .
For she knew well that Jiang Zuo didn't wish to accept her as a younger sister, much less her mother .
As soon as she thought of that man's emotionless face, Xue Yaoyao felt unease .
She wished that her mother hadn't married Uncle Jiang, but she knew she shouldn't be selfish .
She knew very well that Uncle Jiang was a good man and he was always thoughtful to her mother .
People said that it was all thanks to the good deeds her mother had done in her previous life that allowed her to have such a wealthy husband .
Maybe it was because he was old and he didn't think too much about it .
Jiang Zuo's father was a military man, and he liked how gentle and caring Mother Xue was .
There had always been a misunderstanding between he and his son .
The house could not do without a mistress .
Jiang Zuo's father had his hesitations on remarrying .
At last, he decided to marry her .
They went through the normal process of getting to know each other to falling in love .
He had to give the woman a title .
And he had talked about this with Jiang Zuo .
Jiang Zuo only threw three words at him—Up to you . He didn't seem opposed to it, but he wasn't agreeable to it either .
Only when he saw Xue Yaoyao and her family did he finally change his attitude completely .
He was sure that Xue Yaoyao and her mum wanted their money .
Even Jiang Zuo himself didn't know why he hated the idea of his father's remarriage .
At the same time, he knew very well that at the Jiang Family, he was the legitimate inheritor to all of the family's fortune .
As long as Grandpa was still around, no woman who entered would be able to mess with the family rules .
Xue Yaoyao's mother knew this too .
She treated Jiang Zuo as a child . After all, no matter how wealthy and precious he was, he was only three years older than Yaoyao .
But after some interaction, Xue Yaoyao's mother realized that children could have different ways of thinking .
Like Jiang Zuo, he was a mature child, so overly mature that she needed to think before she did anything .
But this was normal for a step mother .
Few days before the birthday party, she informed her child to be quieter at the Jiang Mansion, and never take anything that she shouldn't .
Xue Yaoyao also knew the pressure her mother was facing by marrying into this new household, and that she had to consider a lot of things .
Therefore, Yaoyao never shared her troubles with her mother even when she was mocked or bullied .
Like now .
"Why are you here at the birthday party?"
"Don't tell me you still have that crush on Young Master Jiang . "
"Eww, that's so disgusting, I thought she was just chubby . Now that Young Master Jiang is becoming her brother, she's hoping to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position? Cant she see how much he hates her family?"
"I think you should cut it out . Some poor people would give up their dignity for money, like her mother . Didn't she marry Uncle Jiang for his money?"
Xue Yaoyao clenched her fingers; if not for her mother's exhortations, she would have charged forward and scream at them, telling them that not every poor person did things for money .
Why do these rich people always judge people solely by their wealth?
She was unwilling to become a Jiang; perhaps, the reason had to do with this .
But she needed to be there for the occasion .
"Look at her, I've never seen someone look more awful in a dress . "
"I think she lost some weight . "
"Maybe she's trying secretly, I won't believe that she isn't interested in Young Master Jiang . The fox may grow gray but never good . "
