Chapter 8 You Didn't Deserve It
Chapter 8 You Didn't Deserve It
Soon, the door of the Yan family was slowly opened from inside.
"Miss Rachel, you are back." The servants looked at her with surprise and fear, but not with the contempt she could always saw previously.
Rachel went straight to the room on the second floor without looking sideways. She was here today to pack up her things and to deal with something. She had thought things through, so she just came to draw a clear line between them.
"Rachel, you're finally back. Why are you so thoughtless? Why don't you tell me that you're going out? Do you want to make me worry about you?"
When Rachel's adoptive father, Anthony Yan, heard that she came back, he rushed over unhurriedly, and said something touching, as if he was really worried about her whereabouts.
In the past, she always felt grateful for such petty kindness, but now she only felt his words useless and disgusting.
She replied concisely, "Come back and pack up."
There was no expression on Rachel's face. She didn't even look up at him.
A bad foreboding took over Anthony Yan.
There was a slight doubt in his eyes, but he did not show it on his face. He pretended to be concerned and asked, "Why are you packing up, daughter?"
With a slight pause, Rachel cast a cold glance at him. Anthony Yan could not understand the expression in her eyes.
"What am I doing? Huh, of course I want to leave the Yan family," Rachel said in a cold voice.
Anthony was shocked to hear that, and he asked in a high-pitched voice, "What? You want to leave your family. But why?"
He looked around randomly and was shocked by what Rachel said and did not know how to response.
Actually, Rachel didn't inform the Yan Family in advance about her coming back today, because she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Teresa and Nancy was not at home.
She planned to pack up her luggage and leave straight away. She didn't want to cause any unnecessary conflict and alert the enemy.
"Errrrr. What are you talking about, Rachel? Are you still blaming your mother for being too strict with you that day? Father has already criticized her about what she had done. She also knows that she shouldn't punish you severely that day, but she did it for your own good. Don't leave now. Let's wait for your mother to come back, okay?"
In order to calm Rachel down and order the servant to inform Teresa, Anthony Yan said something nice to her.
"Father? Mother?" Rachel repeated these two words coldly and slowly.
She suddenly cast a cold glance at Anthony and said word by word, "Did I have?"
"Rachel..."
Before Anthony Yan finished, Rachel interrupted and said, "My parents died long ago. I am an orphan. Mr. Yan, do you forget that?" With a sneer at the corners of her mouth, Rachel turned around and said indifferently, "Besides, you don't deserve to be my parents either."
"Rachel, what do you mean?" For a moment, Anthony's face turned livid with rage by Rachel's last words.
"I mean it literally." The woman with a frosty face said coldly, "Mr. Yan, I will tell you clearly now, and please tell your wife, from now on, I am no longer the eldest daughter of the Yan family, nor your adopted daughter, I am just myself."
"If you still don't understand my words," said Rachel as she turned around and looked directly into Anthony Yan's shocked eyes. Then she continued, "I mean I'm going to cut off all relations with you, just like what I mean literally."
"You want to end everything so easily? You are dreaming!"
The cold and emotionless voice of Teresa came out from the door. She and Nancy who was very angry appeared at the same time. They were looking at Rachel with disgust in their eyes.
"Rachel, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are becoming very bad-tempered. Do you forget the basic moral integrity?" Teresa asked with an expressionless face.
Throwing her clothes onto the bed, Rachel sat down lazily and glanced at Teresa indifferently. "Mrs. Yan, you are going too far. After all, you've never taught me basic moral integrity, haven't you?"
The sarcasm on Rachel's face made Teresa upset. Rachel's behavior now looked exactly like her birth mother, which made Teresa much angrier.
Teresa's eyes narrowed slightly and examined Rachel up and down. She felt that Rachel seemed to be very different today.
"Good." Even though she was extremely angry, Teresa burst into laughter. She squinted coldly at Rachel's face, which was very similar to her birth mother's face, saying, "It's not impossible that you
want to leave the Yan family, but..."
She paused before she continued to say with a grim voice, "You have to repay us for raising you up all these years. In ancient times, there was a person who cut the flesh to pay back to his mother. Today, you, Rachel, should also do something to repay us."
"Mom! How can you let her off so easily!" Standing aside, Nancy pulled Teresa's clothes nervously. Staring at Rachel with resentment, she wanted to cut her in the face.
"What? You don't dare?" Seeing that Rachel was in silence, Teresa laughed scornfully and said, "Then you have no right to say that you want to cut off all relations with the Yan family. You'd better stay at home to be the 'Miss Rachel'."
Then she turned around and was about to leave, her face wearing a smug smile.
However, Rachel suddenly spoke in a low voice full of puzzlement, "Teresa, before I didn't understand that why you hated a person so much that you wanted his family to be ruined and live in pain forever?"
"But now I seem to understand." The puzzlement in Rachel's voice disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by endless indifference. "Because you are a selfish woman from the very beginning."
She slowly approached, with a cold light flashing in her eyes. Then, she whispered in the ear of Teresa, "I will accept whatever conditions you have, as long as you say it."
Realizing what had happened, Teresa stared at her with a cold smile and said with cruelty, "I underestimated you, Rachel Yan."
They looked at each other for a short time, and then they both quickly looked away.
"Nancy, I remember you were complaining about that your assistant is always for leave," Teresa said. A hint of treacherous look appeared in her slender and charming eyes. "Would you mind letting your sister be your assistant from now on?"
"She?" Nancy snorted contemptuously and was extremely reluctant to do so.
But as soon as she caught the glimpse of Teresa, she was stunned but soon understood.
The annoyance in her eyes now was replaced by a burst of giggles. She said in a joyful tone, "Well, it's all up to my sister."
After casting a cold glance at Rachel, Teresa replied, "Yes?"
A cold smile crept on Rachel's lips and her eyes were as cold as ice. She said, "Whatever. I can do it, but only this one."
She had no time to waste with them.
"Well, you can do it well first." Nancy said sarcastically, but there was a sneer in her heart. She knew why her mother let her deal with Nancy.
