Step-sister's Plot

"Ah!"

In a suburban warehouse, a heart-wrenching scream pierced the night.

Jiang Guo lay on the bed, looking utterly exhausted, the white sheets stained with blood and amniotic fluid in disarray.

"Yes! Yes!" The midwife holding a wailing baby exclaimed in excitement. "It's a boy. He is very healthy!"

A faint smile appeared on Jiang Guo's pale face as she turned to her step-sister and expressed gratitude, "Yuan Yuan, thank you. If you hadn't come to help me, I might have lost my life today."

Jiang Yuan, her step-sister, had grown up together with her and was the only one who had come to her aid when she was isolated and helpless.

Nine months ago, at her twentieth birthday banquet, she had drunk a few glasses of wine and felt unwell, so she had gone upstairs to the suite to rest.

Little did she know that a man would suddenly burst in and forcefully take possession of her.

Thinking of the guests downstairs, she suppressed her desire to kill him, enduring the sorrow and shame, and escaped under the cover of night.

However, she was caught in the act by a friend who had come to find her.

The man who had followed her out was immediately exposed, who was a well-known playboy from a nightclub.

That evening, rumors of the young miss of the Jiang Family inviting escorts to her birthday party spread like wildfire, making the Jiang Family the laughingstock of the city.

Later, she was found to be pregnant.

Her uterine wall was thin, and if she terminated the pregnancy, it would be difficult for her to conceive again in the future.

Therefore, she decided to keep the child, which infuriated her biological father Jiang Xingchang.

Jiang Xingchang locked her in the warehouse for fear that she would tarnish the Jiang Family's reputation.

All those who had once fawned over her now kept their distance from her.

In the Jiang Family, only her step-sister was willing to plead for her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Guo's attitude became even more solemn.

"Yuan Yuan, if there's anything I can do to help in the future, I will definitely do it without hesitation!"

Jiang Yuan reached out to take the child and smiled lightly, "You're welcome. It's nothing to care for my own son."

Jiang Guo was taken aback. "What?"

Having achieved her goal, Jiang Yuan immediately discarded the facade of sisterly affection.

"You don't understand? Very well, let me make it clear. I orchestrated the events of that night nine months ago."

Jiang Guo's pupils widened, unable to believe it. "How was that possible?"

During this time, she had considered countless possibilities but had never suspected her step-sister, who was supposed to be like a biological sister.

"Why not possible?" Jiang Yuan's expression provoked a laugh. "Jiang Guo, you don't seriously think I have deep sisterly affection for you, do you?"

Jiang Guo's throat went dry, and the anger of being deceived welled up in her eyes. "What did I do to make you scheme against me like this?"

"Let me tell you a secret. I'm Dad's illegitimate child."

Jiang Guo was instantly dumbfounded.

"I wanted to become the heir of the Jiang Family. As long as you were here, even if I managed to secure the Jiang name through cunning, those old fogies would never ignore my identity. So, I have to destroy you and make you a stain that the Jiang Family would desperately want to erase. Then my identity wouldn't matter!"

Jiang Yuan grinned with satisfaction. "And here's another good news. A week ago, I became the official heir of the Jiang Family."

"Despicable. Shameless!"

Jiang Guo glared at Jiang Yuan as if she wanted to devour her alive.

A nearby maid raised her hand and slapped Jiang Guo's face. "How dare you to look at Miss Yuan like that? Stop it!"

"Let it go, Ms. Chen." Jiang Yuan pretended to be magnanimous, smiling gently.

"She's just a homeless dog. No need to pay much attention to her."

Jiang Yuan's haughty demeanor immediately shattered Jiang Guo's dwindling rationality.

Just as she was about to take drastic action against Jiang Yuan, the crying of the baby restored her senses.

Her child was still in Jiang Yuan's hands.

Suppressing her emotions, Jiang Guo lowered her head vulnerability. "Jiang Yuan, I've become a pariah, and you've achieved what you wanted. So, can't you spare me and the child?"

"No, that won't happen. This is Ji Yunchen's son. I'm looking forward to becoming the young mistress of the Ji Family."

"After all, my dear sister, you've been incredibly lucky. I initially intended to have a male prostitute defile you, but I never expected you'd accidentally have relations with Ji Yunchen. If it weren't for my quick thinking to send that male prostitute to the guest room in advance, I'd probably have nothing now."

Jiang Yuan's face was smug. "In fact, it's not bad at all. I've not only charged the Jiang Family but also established connections with the Ji Family. I'm quite satisfied."

Jiang Guo was on the verge of an outbreak.

The thought that both she and her son had been thoroughly manipulated by Jiang Yuan was so painful and she could hardly breathe.

She clenched her teeth and stared at the woman opposite her. "Jiang Yuan, just you wait. One day, you'll pay for what you've done to me! Just wait and see!"

Jiang Yuan chuckled mockingly. "Jiang Guo, why are you so naive? Do you think I'll let you leave here foolishly after revealing my secrets? I can't wait for you to seek revenge in the future, can't I?"

As if noticing something, the baby began to cry again.

Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Guo, who was tense with anger, smiling indifferently.

"Are you so worried about your son? Don't worry, when I have my own child, I'll let you and your son reunite in the netherworld. By then, you'll have plenty of time to take care of him."

Jiang Guo furiously got off the bed and lunged at Jiang Yuan. "If you dare to harm my son, I'll kill you!"

But before she could reach Jiang Yuan, the maid beside her kicked her to the ground. "As long as I'm here, you're not allowed to bully Miss Yuan!"

Jiang Yuan sneered coldly, turning her back against Jiang Guo, and walked to the door. She spoke lightly, "Ignite the room."

Jiang Guo's expression shifted slightly, and she struggled to get up from the ground, attempting to rush toward the door.

However, another wave of abdominal pain hit her, causing her to stumble and fall, leaving her with no choice but to watch the fire gradually spread from the doorway.

The pain in her abdomen tore at her sanity as she struggled weakly on the ground, and a mixture of blood and dirt was covering her.

Then, her body went slack, and the cries of babies rang once more.

She had given birth to two more children!

Jiang Guo couldn't be happy as she watched the raging flames around her.

Would her children, who were born just moments ago, perished in this inferno?

Jiang Guo ran to the main entrance, desperately pounding on the door. "Jiang Yuan, don't go! I have other children inside. Open the door quickly!"

No matter how much Jiang Guo hated Jiang Yuan, at this moment, she only hoped that her two children would survive.

Even if it meant seeking help from her most despised enemy, she was willing.

However, Jiang Guo's hopes were dashed. Her throat grew hoarse by shouting, but Jiang Yuan didn't appear.

The roaring flames raged, mercilessly destroying everything around to ashes.
