Serena lowered her eyes and stared at her feet in amazement.
“Serena, our family always treats you not bad, even though you are not my biological daughter, I gave you a lot when you were young? Now people from the Giordano family have come to the door and you have suddenly become the eldest daughter of the Giordano family. Don’t you just want to leave the whole Gallo family behind? Of course, it doesn’t matter if you want to leave it behind, it was a great expense for me to raise you and you should pay me.”
Serena looked at her in amazement.
When she was still hesitating, she did not expect Giulia to tell her the truth so quickly.
Her eyes trembled, “So… I’m not really your biological daughter? ”
It was a little strange for Giulia to see her like this, why had she hurt her like this? Andrea stood, looking at Serena with complicated eyes, and sighed, “Serena, are you sure… Your mother and I are not your biological parents. At that time… You are the child we adopted from the orphanage.”
Andrea’s tone was always gentle. Serena cast a glance at him and realized that her father seemed to be much older than before. His cloudy eyes looked at her with a touch of love and anguish, but what he said was stinging and made her heart ache.
She lowered her eyes and smiled softly, “I didn’t expect all this to be true. I always thought I was your biological daughter. What Secretary Gatti told me was false, but I didn’t expect… that it was all true.”
“Are you okay?” When Giulia heard her say this, she couldn’t help but look at her strangely, “She’s not our daughter, aren’t you okay? This is the Giordano family in North City, I asked specifically, she is not inferior to the Ferrari family, what’s wrong with being the daughter of the Giordano family? Serena, you should be more quiet and you will be the eldest of the Giordano family in the future. Our adoptive parents can also follow us. Don’t forget your sister, she is your sister after all.”
With that said, Giulia came closer and held Serena’s shoulders, “Did you hear what mom told you? Your sister always liked her older sister more, and she always knew that her older sister loved her very much. If something happened in the future… You should help her more, you know? Or, do you think the Giordano family should recognize a goddaughter, you just brought your sister?”
Serena: “…”
“I will ask one last time, really… Am I not your biological daughter? Mother lied to me for her own benefit, right? Living together for so many years, I don’t think…”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Why did I lie to you for the sake of money? Could the question about your identity be false? Besides… You really are the daughter of the Giordano family. Even if you are not the daughter of the Giordano family, you are not the daughter of our family, your father is right, you are the child we adopted from the orphanage. ”
“Why?” Serena smiled bitterly, “Why… Did you want to adopt me? ”
Julia did not exaggerate, “Don’t ask, anyway… That’s the way things are.”
Andrea sighed and told Serena the truth.
“At first I married your mother for many years and she never gave birth. The fortune teller asked me to go to an orphanage with your mother to adopt one. Unexpectedly, I met you after I went there. Since you were very pretty, your mother and I liked you very much. So we brought you home.”
That said, Serena could probably guess what happened next.
“But you didn’t expect that not long after you adopted me, you would have another daughter, right?”
Andrea nodded, “Yes, that’s all we didn’t expect.”
“So after you had a daughter, you started to deny my adoption from the orphanage?”
Thinking about this, Serena could not help but laugh, “Actually, I always thought you were good to Aurora because she is still young and she is my younger sister, and I always convinced myself that I knew how to be an older sister, and it would be reasonable to be good to one’s younger sister. It was just that I never thought I wasn’t your biological daughter.”
She still couldn’t accept that.
“Serena, what are you doing today? Now you are the eldest daughter of the Giordano family, what do you say about these things in the past? Is it possible that you want to settle accounts with me?” Said Giulia anxiously and Andrea grabbed her quickly when she saw this, “Don’t talk nonsense, do you think this girl is here to settle scores? She probably can’t stand this kind of stimulation…”
“What can’t she stand? My Aurora ran away in anger when she heard the news. What can’t she bear for Serena? Soon she can run away to the branch, and Aurora, who has pity on me, still has to stay in this poorly conditioned house and continue to suffer, ohoh… Our family is really suffering. ”
Talking about this, Julia began to scream and cry.
Andrea was shocked when he heard, “Don’t make trouble! What do tears look like? Although Serena is not our biological daughter, she is the child raised by us. Don’t you understand how she thinks? She is not the kind of person who likes to take flight!”
Hearing this, Julia suddenly stopped crying as if she was thinking about something, and then rushed towards Serena, holding her shoulders directly, her eyes widened and her facial features looked a little horrible.
“That’s right, Serena, you’re not the kind of person who likes to be a social climber…. Then… Cede the position of daughter of the Giordano family to your sister, okay? We tell the people in the Giordano family that Aurora is actually the person they were looking for and that it is not you! Mom swears to you that when Aurora joins the Giordano family and becomes their adopted daughter, Mom will never treat you badly in the future.”
Giulia was crazy and talking nonsense.
Originally, Serena had come only to verify her identity, but she had not expected to hear the words that would pierce her heart even more.
“In my mother’s eyes, I think… As long as Aurora wants everything I have, will I give it to her?”
Julia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, “It’s not like that, but… You’re an older sister, shouldn’t it be okay to leave all this to your sister? Serena, as your mother begging you, give this identity to Aurora, Aurora will repay it as grace and you will have a good future. ”
Serena could not help but laugh, her laughter was so bitter that she could not stop.
Giulia looked at her as if she were a stranger.
When the laughter finally stopped, Serena’s face already had an indifferent expression, and her voice also became colder: “What if I don’t want that?”
“What?”
“If I don’t want to give her my identity, and I will be the firstborn of the Giordano family alone, how will my mother treat me?”
“… Don’t you like prosperity and wealth? How can you give them to your sister? Serena, I am the mother who raised you for more than 20 years, and I get all the credit!”
“So, can my mother always do whatever she wants to me and take everything away? What if she does?”
