The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 627: Wan Qiaolian’s Half Sister

"Qiaolian, let’s go to your courtyard first." Su Zhilan said.

Su Zhilan saw a figure hiding behind the wall. Even though the figure moved to hide when Su Zhilan turned in her direction, Su Zhilan managed to look at the figure and recognized Wan Qiaolian’s half-sister, Wan Yanmei.

Wan Yanmei was born to a concubine. The concubine was a former maid who had thrown herself into Wan Qiaolian’s father’s arms, Wan Weiyuan when he was intoxicated. Just one night, the maid became pregnant and gave birth to Wan Yanmei.

Wan Qiaolian’s mother, Qian Meilin, was angry and wanted to throw the maid out when she found out about that, but the maid was so clever that she went to Old Madam Wan to complain. She complained that she had been raped by Wan Weiyuan, and then Qian Meilin threatened to kill her. She also gave a hint that she was pregnant.

At that time, the Wan Family still did not have a male heir to inherit the family name. So, Old Madam Wan gave protection to the maid until she gave birth. However, after knowing the baby was a girl, Old Madam Wan did not care anymore about the maid and let Qian Meilin do whatever she wanted to the maid. In the end, the maid was killed, and Wan Yanmei was left with a nanny to raise her. A year later, Qian Meilin gave birth to a boy, Wan Qiaolian’s younger brother, Wan Yongnian.

Wan Yanmei was jealous when she saw Wan Qiaolian getting all of the attention just because she was born to the legitimate Madam of the Wan Family. She tried to get others’ attention by trying to get closer to Old Madam Wan, but nothing changed. Then, she tried to curry favour with Wan Yongnian by acting like a big sister to him.

It seemed promising at first since Wan Yongnian treated her like an older sister. However, one day, Wan Yongnian started to act differently toward her. It turned out that Qian Meilin had already lectured Wan Yongnian about Wan Yanmei when she saw Wan Yongnian together with Wan Yanmei.

The reason why Su Zhilan recognized Wan Yanmei was because Wan Yanmei came to meet her once. At first, Su Zhilan treated her normally. However, after a while, Wan Yanmei started to talk badly about Wan Qiaolian. It was like Wan Yanmei wanted to paint Wan Qiaolian as a bad person. That was when Su Zhilan realized Wan Yanmei’s character. After that meeting, Su Zhilan avoided Wan Yanmei like a plaque.

Wan Qiaolian was a little bit stupid. She did not realize her half-sister wanted to harm her. Thanks to her mother and personal maid who watched out for her she did not get harmed by Wan Yanmei.

However, it seemed Wan Qiaolian did not let go of the chance to make herself known to others. She appeared in front of Wan Qiaolian and others while smiling.

"I don’t know that we are going to receive guests today." Wan Yanmei said.

"Well, we come uninvited." Su Zhilan said.

"This is your new friend?" Wan Yanmei looked Bai Xifeng up and down. Her jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"Yes... This is Bai Xifeng, General Bai’s daughter." Wan Qiaolian introduced Bai Xifeng to Wan Yanmei. "Xifeng, this is Wan Yanmei, my half-sister."

"Bai Xifeng? That tra..." Wan Yanmei looked surprised.

"Yanmei." Wan Qiaolian stopped Wan Yanmei when she tried to mention the word trash.

"Half-sister? You must be a daughter of a concubine." Bai Xifeng stated.

Wan Yanmei turned pale when she heard the statement. She gritted her teeth.

"Qiaolian, we still have something to talk about. Let’s go to your room." Su Zhilan said.

"Yes." Wan Qiaolian nodded.

The three of them walked over and passed Wan Yanmei. She could not let this slide. So, she turned her attention to an unfamiliar maid. This maid probably belonged to Bai Xifeng.

She walked and wanted to bump into Xiao Li. However, Xiao Li, who diligently cultivated Bai Xifeng’s order, easily avoided Wan Yanmei, causing Wan Yanmei to fall down.

Wan Yanmei shouted when she fell down. The three girls stopped and turned over to look at Wan Yanmei.

"What happened?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"This maid pushed me over and caused me to fall." Wan Yanmei pointed at Xiao Li.

"Eh? I obviously avoid you earlier." Xiao Li spoke out.

"You must be her maid. You were probably angry when I mentioned the word trash earlier. That is why you push me down." Wan Yanmei accused Xiao Li while pointing her finger at Bai Xifeng.

"Yanmei, what happened to you? Why are you sitting on the floor?" A man rushed over and helped Wan Yanmei stand up.

The man turned to look at Wan Qiaolian. "Qiaolian, it must be you again. Why do you like to bully Yanmei? She is your sister." He reprimanded Wan Qiaolian.

Wan Qiaolian was dumbfounded. This man was Cao Zian. Cao Zian was engaged to Wan Qiaolian. However, right now, he was like Wan Yanmei’s fiance instead of Wan Qiaolian. freewebnσvel.cøm

"Brother Zian, don’t get angry with Sister Qiaolian. It is not her." Wan Yanmei spoke softly to Cao Zian.

"If not her, then, who? I will make her apologize to you." Cao Zian said while glaring at Wan Qiaolian.

"Wow... A perfect green tea b*tch and her stupid dog. I have seen it again." Bai Xifeng suddenly spoke out.
