597 The Secret About the Past 215 (2/2)
She immediately tried to call Mei Shuangshuang, who had switched off her phone.
”Seems like she knew we would find out about it sooner or later, so she switched off her phone. Let's see if her luggage is still around.”
Mei Yangyang and her father zoomed toward Mei Shuangshuang's room, only to find that all her clothes, cosmetics, and other belongings were missing. However, she did not bring her luggage with her, perhaps because she was afraid of making too much of a noise.

”Shuangshuang has really gone overboard! Don't bother looking for her, just let her die outside! We really shouldn't have let her come back. She even had the guts to sell the house without our consent. Is there anything she wouldn't dare to do? From now on, let's not search for her at all, Yangyang. I don't want to see her again even if she comes home,” Mr. Mei hollered in exasperation.
Mr. Mei was seething with anger.
”Father, simmer down. I'll just buy you another jade pendant. Since she's disregarded us as her family and hurt us time and time again, there's no reason we should keep compromising and giving in to her unconditionally.”
”Yangyang, don't buy me another one. It's too expensive. What if I lose it again?”
Mei Yangyang patted his hand and said, ”I'll buy you another one if it goes missing again. It's alright, the price doesn't matter to me.”
”We've become such a burden to you, Yangyang. I feel really guilty toward you. You've constantly had to worry about Shuangshuang and your mother,” said Mr. Mei, filled with immense guilt.
”Don't say that again, Father. Aren't we getting on just fine now?”
Mr. Mei nodded as tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
After leaving the house, Mei Yangyang headed straight to the jewelry store to buy a similar-looking jade pendant for her father; it also cost more than a million dollars.
She brought the matter up to her husband when he returned home in the afternoon.
”What a horrible wretch… I really wonder if your sister was adopted. Why is she so different from you?” Long Tianze remarked.
”How would I know? Maybe she had a genetic mutation when she was in my mother's womb,” Mei Yangyang jested with a chuckle. ”At the end of the day, children should never be pampered, regardless of gender. They can't be spoiled rotten!”
”I agree with you…”
Just as he finished speaking, Long Xiaoxi ran down the stairs and said, ”Daddy, Mommy, I want some ice cream…”
”No, you've already had some this morning. You're still really small in size, you're going to fall ill if you eat too much ice cream,” Mei Yangyang refused immediately.
Pouting her lips, Long Xiaoxi walked toward Long Tianze and tugged his arm with her chubby hands while whining, ”Daddy, look how mean Mommy is to me. I want to have some ice cream, Daddy, will you let me?”
”Yes, yes. There's ice cream in the freezer, go get it yourself…” said Long Tianze.
”Yay, thank you, Daddy. Daddy, you're the best Daddy…” Long Xiaoxi exclaimed gleefully. She gave him a peck on his cheek and skipped away merrily.
”Long. Tian. Ze!!! What you were saying just now…” Mei Yangyang bellowed, glowering at him.
”What did I say? I just said that I agree with your theory that your sister had undergone a genetic mutation while she was still a fetus in your mother's womb. I didn't say anything else.”
Mei Yangyang was furious beyond words. ”Weren't you referring to what I said about not spoiling our children rotten?”
