Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot-Chapter 2010 - 565: It turns out to be a clown_3

The old Liang family’s situation was indeed not good at this time.

Three days ago, Liang’s mother visited Isla Astir, recounting all the hardships they had faced in the past and how abandoning her was a last resort. She hoped that Isla Astir would acknowledge her as her biological mother. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After all, blood is thicker than water.

But Isla Astir did not buy into her act. Even as Liang’s mother knelt and bruised her forehead in front of her, Isla remained hard-hearted.

After all.

At the moment her biological parents decided to leave her in the snow, she was already dead to them.

For over twenty years.

They knew very well that she was the Isla Astir from Shuiba Village, but what about them?

When the Astir family was in most need of help, they did not appear.

When Isla Astir was ill, they were nowhere to be found.

Now that she’s grown up and can make money, they come to talk about their hard life?

Do they take her for a fool?

Such people are simply disgusting.

She remembered in elementary school, when she and her biological sister were in the same class. Her sister wore flashy clothes while she was covered in patches. Instead of helping her, her sister led the classmates in ostracizing her.

And her biological parents did not even bother to check on her.

She would remember these things for a lifetime.

Liang’s mother lay in bed, her eyes swollen from crying, "That girl has such a hard heart, I begged her, but she wouldn’t even turn her head to look at me."

Liang’s father remained silent, just puffing away at his dry pipe.

The eldest daughter, Jane Meaden, stood to the side with a sour tone, "She’s now the madam of a wealthy family; why would she even remember us poor relatives?"

They were both sisters, so why was Isla Astir’s fate so much better?

Just a moment later, Jane continued, "I brought gifts with good intentions to see them last time, but they still kicked me out! No sisterly affection at all."

It was the parents who abandoned Isla Astir. She had nothing to do with it; she was just a child at the time.

Yet Isla Astir wouldn’t even speak to her.

Liang’s mother cried out, "From now on, let’s pretend I never raised such a daughter."

It was at this time that Liang’s father, who had been quiet, spoke up, "Over the years, we indeed treated our second daughter unfairly. We abandoned her the moment she was born, and when their family faced hardships, we stayed far away. It’s normal for her not to acknowledge us now."

At this point, Liang’s father sighed, looking at his wife on the sickbed, "I told you before, there’s no need to compete with others, insisting on having a son. Boys and girls are the same, but you wouldn’t listen. What’s the use of regretting now?"

Twenty-three years ago, the family planning policy was very strict.

If rural households had two children, they could not have a third unless they paid a fine.

They were both farmers; where would they get the money?

So in order to have a son, they had to abandon their newborn second daughter.

Upon hearing this, Liang’s mother angrily said, "Don’t you play the good guy here! If you didn’t agree, could I have abandoned our second daughter? If you didn’t agree, could I have given birth to our third child alone? Yet now you lay all the blame on me!"

The third child was the only son of the two, and they sought out Isla Astir hoping she would help their son.

Isla Astir owns two houses in Capital City, and now that she married into a wealthy family, those two houses would surely be given to her brother!

But now!

Isla Astir doesn’t even recognize her relatives on this side.

Needless to say, the parents’ wishful thinking came to nothing.

Liang’s father was silent for a long time, eventually letting out a sigh.

Yes.

He had indeed been selfish at first.

Otherwise, his wife alone would not have been able to send their daughter away.

Now that he thought about it, he really deserved to die.

Why did he discriminate in favor of males over females?

Why did he send away his most outstanding daughter?

If she hadn’t been sent away, Isla Astir would be his daughter now, and it would be him who was the father-in-law to a wealthy family!

What are William Astir and Olivia Armstrong anyway?

They are infertile!

If they had been able to conceive, would they have taken Isla Astir back?

Absolutely not!

Thinking all this, Liang’s father felt like slapping himself.

Capital City.

Nine eighteen in the morning.

The wedding car stopped on time at the entrance of the Astir family’s villa.

William Astir immediately ordered the firing of salute cannons and fireworks.

The sound of explosions was thunderous.

The photographer immediately captured the most exciting moments.

Relatives of the Astir family sat at the main entrance, preventing the wedding procession from entering.

"The groom cannot get off lightly today without shedding some ’blood’!"

"Right, right, right, our Isla isn’t someone you can marry off so easily!"

Not only did the group want Mandel Thompson to hand out red envelopes, but they also wanted to play a prank on him, making him perform a hula dance.
