"Peach, would you like to try this trick tonight?"

Pei Jin's voice rang out at the doorway, his usually aloof eyes now filled with desire and excitement.

The red string on his fingertips was loosely hooked by his slender fingers. Bai Tao was wearing a super short white dress that barely covered the top of her thighs.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]

Bai Tao, barefoot, slowly retreated, while Pei Jin chased after her at a leisurely pace.

"No...no, I have work tomorrow..."

Pei Jin's voice was deep and cheerful, filled with excitement and anticipation.

"It's okay, baby, I've already asked for leave for you. Besides, you don't have to work now, I can support you."

"What would I do at home if I didn't go to work?"

"Father, baby."

A tear was forced from the corner of Bai Tao's eye by Pei Jin, and her voice carried a hint of pleading and crying.

"I really can't go on, Pei Jin."

"Who is Pei Jin? Aren't I your husband?"

Pei Jin stood behind Bai Tao, his warm breath brushing against the back of her neck. His voice was so low it sounded like he was coaxing a child, carrying a possessiveness that made one's legs go weak.

Bai Tao kept her eyes closed, unaware of how things had developed to this point.

She just wanted to curry favor with Pei Jin, but she never expected to be taken advantage of by him...

Bai Tao had just climbed to the door when Pei Jin grabbed her by the ankle and dragged her into the room.

The floor was cool, the full-length mirror was cool, and so was her heart.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

White Peach has been reborn.

She was reborn at a time that left her speechless.

She was accused of being a fake heiress, and on the day the real heiress came to claim her family, the real heiress was standing right outside the door.

Even more outrageous, the Pei family next door, after discovering that she wasn't their biological daughter, also had their son's DNA tested and found that her nemesis, Pei Jin, wasn't their biological son either.

In her past life, she and Pei Jin were kicked out of the wealthy family one after the other.

Bai Tao thought she was so smart back then, determined to hook up with a rich man, trample the real heiress underfoot, and make Bai Zhongjing and Lin Meng beg her to come home. Isn't it just about marrying a rich man?

With her status as a socialite in Beijing, she can easily find any kind of boyfriend.

But society taught her that beauty alone wasn't enough. Before, she was liked and pampered, and had a bunch of friends fawning over her when she went out, because she was not only beautiful but also came from a prominent family.

But once she lost her status as the eldest daughter of the Bai family, everyone wanted to mess with her, the irresponsible kind.

Bai Tao studied fine arts. As anyone who studies fine arts knows, without opportunities and a good family background, it's very difficult to find a job in this field. With no other option, Bai Tao could only rely on her beauty to find a job at a bar, hoping to take the opportunity to meet some rich people.

But she had high standards. She looked down on ugly, fat, and old men, and she also looked down on married men. She wanted to find someone who was the right age, ambitious, and from a wealthy family. But what happened?

He didn't manage to hook up with a rich guy, but instead got cornered at the bar entrance by his ex-wife.

The woman was wearing sunglasses, and four burly men followed behind her.

She sized Bai Tao up and down, then sneered, "You?"

Then the bodyguards lifted her up and threw her into the sea like trash.

Bai Tao still remembers the taste of that seawater; it was salty and bitter, and chillingly cold.

And what about Pei Jin?

That annoying kid who had always been at odds with her was kicked out, but was actually taken in by a girl.

Yes, I took it home.

What's even more infuriating is that after Pei Jin was taken in, he seemed to have a cheat code, and in just two years, he turned a small tech company that nobody believed in into an industry leader.

Pei's biological son is incompetent and has made a mess of the company, so Pei Shengli knelt down and begged Pei Jin to return to the Pei family.

Where is Pei Jin?

Not only did he not go back, but he also ruined the Pei family and took them into his own hands. He then turned around and gave a large sum of money to the little girl who had picked him up as a way of repaying her kindness.

Bai Tao nearly crushed her back molars while in the air.

"Mother."

A soft, sweet female voice rang out, and Bai Tao snapped back to reality.

She instinctively gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Memories of my past life receded like the tide, and everything before my eyes became clear again.

Voices could be heard coming from the living room, along with a woman's soft sobs.

Bai Tao recognized that voice all too well.

Yu Xiaozhen.

The real heiress of the Bai family.

Bai Tao took a deep breath. Instead of rushing in and making a scene like she did in her previous life, she lowered her head and quickly opened her mobile banking app.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she transferred all the money in her bank account to WeChat.

In her past life, when she was kicked out, she only had five thousand yuan in her card.

Five thousand yuan! That's not even enough for her to buy a bottle of face cream before.

She learned her lesson this time.

A transfer page popped up, and Bai Tao entered her entire balance.

A message popped up on the screen: [Daily transfer limit: 10 yuan]

Bai Tao paused for a moment, stared at the line of text for two seconds, and then smiled softly.

Ten thousand it is.

It's better than having only five thousand dollars in my previous life.

She comforted herself that 100,000 yuan was enough for her to rent a small house, enough for her to eat for a few months, and enough for her to take Pei Jin back for a few months.

Thinking about this, Bai Tao was actually a little moved. The money that she used to spend on a single bag now felt like a lifeline.

This is the harsh reality of society, a way to cure all kinds of spoiled brats.

Yu Xiaozhen was still crying as she recounted Bai Tao's background.

She was a fake heiress who had been switched at birth.

Her biological mother was the Bai family's nanny, and her biological father was a scoundrel who was an alcoholic and a gambler.

When Bai Tao's biological mother discovered she was pregnant, it was too late for an abortion.

So they induced labor, switched the baby, stuffed Bai Tao into the Bai family's crib, and then ran away back to a small, third-tier city with the real Bai family's daughter, Yu Xiaozhen.

In the years that followed, Bai Tao's biological mother made a living by farming and selling vegetables, and her life was very difficult.

Yu Xiaozhen grew up in that kind of environment, where she was often hungry and cold, and had to do farm work.

Last month, Bai Tao's biological mother collapsed from exhaustion and fell seriously ill.

Yu Xiaozhen took care of her with great care, which moved her deeply.

On her deathbed, the nanny held Yu Xiaozhen's hand and tearfully revealed the secret she had kept for over twenty years.

When the Bai family first heard about it, Bai Zhongjing's opinion was that having more children wouldn't make a difference, and having fewer children wouldn't make a difference either, so raising more Bai Tao wouldn't be a problem.

The Bai family is large and wealthy; they don't need to worry about a meal.

But Yu Xiaozhen said something:

"I have nightmares whenever I see Bai Tao. I tremble whenever I think about how her biological mother abused me."

Bai Zhongjing remained silent for three seconds.

Lin Meng remained silent for two seconds.

Then Bai Tao was kicked out of the house.

In her previous life, Bai Tao couldn't accept this outcome. She felt she was innocent and took advantage of the fact that Bai Zhongjing and Lin Meng had raised her for 23 years, causing trouble and violence at home.

She cried and screamed, throwing a tantrum in the Bai family's living room.

They pointed their fingers at Yu Xiaozhen and called her an imposter, a manipulative green tea bitch, and said she shouldn't have come back.

She cried her heart out, her voice becoming hoarse from screaming.

And what about Yu Xiaozhen?

Yu Xiaozhen sat on the sofa, tears falling silently, without saying a word, looking as fragile as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

Looking back, Bai Tao felt that she was too shameful in her past life.

She has no intention of ever acting in that play again in her lifetime.

It's pointless, really pointless.

Moreover, she had already seen through it all; the Bai family members were always cold, selfish, and driven by self-interest.

Bai Zhongjing and Lin Meng have always been typical examples of male chauvinism.

They're better at using the repressive style of education than anyone else.

The phrase that Bai Tao heard most often since she was a child was:

"Look at so-and-so's daughter, she plays the piano so well."

"Compare yourself to the kid next door; their grades are so much better."

"Why can't you be like your older brother and give us a break?"

The eldest brother, Bai Shen, is the pride of the Bai family, a chosen one, and the apple of his grandparents' eye.

Bai Shen is a good student, capable, and handsome; he's the center of attention wherever he goes.

And what about white peaches?

In the eyes of Bai's parents, her purpose was simply to be pushed out for a marriage alliance at a crucial moment.

Therefore, they were willing to nurture her, hiring the best teachers to teach her painting, etiquette, and foreign languages.

But this isn't love, it's an investment.

It's like growing a potted plant; if you grow it well, you can sell it for a good price.

Bai Tao didn't understand before and thought her parents were very good to her.

Having lived a second life, she finally understood that if there were truly feelings involved, how could he have kicked her out without even hesitating?

It's simply because they feel that with another daughter on the way, they have someone else to choose for a marriage alliance.

At 11 p.m., the Bai family's villa was brightly lit.

The Bai family's private doctor walked in carrying a medical kit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

"Mr. Bai, you're here for a blood test to determine if it's for a paternity test, right?"

Bai Zhongjing nodded, "Go ahead and draw them, take them all."

Bai Tao proactively rolled up her sleeves and extended her hand.

The doctor glanced at her, somewhat surprised. In the past, when he drew blood, gave injections, or administered IVs to this young lady, she would whine and complain for ages.

Bai Tao smiled at him and said, "Please be gentle."

The doctor nodded and deftly inserted the needle and drew blood.

The atmosphere in the living room was quite subtle.

Bai Fenglan, Bai Tao's aunt who always disliked her, was sitting on the sofa with her arm around Yu Xiaozhen.

Even before the results came out, she seemed to have already concluded that Bai Tao was not the Bai family's biological child.

Yu Xiaozhen leaned on her shoulder, her eyes red from crying, her nose pink, looking extremely pitiful.

Bai Fenglan patted her back while comforting her.

"Poor child, you've suffered so much... When you return to the Bai family, your aunt will love you dearly."

Bai Zhongjing and Lin Meng sat on the sofa in the middle. Bai Zhongjing held a teacup, seemingly lost in thought.

Lin Meng looked down at her phone, the screen's light reflecting on her well-maintained face, revealing no emotion.

They will not make any statement until the paternity test results are available.

Stable, very stable.

They were so steady that Bai Tao wanted to applaud them.

Only Bai Shen is different.

Bai Shen worked at the company all day and was supposed to go home to rest, but this farce dragged him out until 11 p.m.

He sat next to Bai Tao, his suit jacket off and draped over the armrest, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a section of his strong wrist.

He placed one hand on the back of the sofa behind Bai Tao, as if he were gently embracing her.

With his other hand pinching his brow, his eyes closed, the creases between his brows could trap a mosquito.

Bai Tao glanced at him sideways.

Bai Shen's eyelashes were very long, casting a small fan-shaped shadow under her eyes.

His jawline seems to be more defined recently than it was last month.

After being kicked out in her previous life, Bai Shen made a phone call to her.

That night she got completely drunk at the bar, the music was deafening, and her phone vibrated several times in her pocket before she finally answered it.

Bai Shen's voice was very low on the other end of the phone:

"Do you... need money?"

What did she reply at the time?

"I don't need your pity."

Then it hung up.

Bai Shen never called her again after that.

Bai Tao lowered her eyes, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

In this life, she wants to be kinder to her older brother.

After the doctor finished drawing blood, he labeled the test tube, put it in a box, and said the results would be available tomorrow night.

Bai Zhongjing put down his teacup and finally spoke:

"Before the results came out, Bai Tao was still a member of the Bai family."

Bai Fenglan snorted unhappily:

"Brother, what's the point of waiting? A paternity test is just a formality."

"Look at this child standing next to Xiao Zhen, isn't it obvious who looks like a member of the Bai family?"

"Bai Tao has been disobedient and willful since she was little. She doesn't seem like someone from the Bai family at all."

Sure enough, look at what kind of person her biological mother is. Could a normal person do something like that?

Bai Tao smiled slightly at her aunt upon hearing this.

Bai Zhongjing glanced at Bai Fenglan but didn't reply.

Lin Meng raised her eyelids at this moment, her voice not loud, but every word was clear.

"No one is allowed to say anything before the results are in."

Bai Fenglan pursed her lips and remained silent.

The living room fell silent, save for Yu Xiaozhen's occasional sobs.

Bai Tao leaned back on the sofa, her fingers unconsciously tracing circles on her knees.

She looked at the crystal chandelier overhead, the valuable calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and the imported carpet on the floor.

What a pity! If she could have taken these things with her, she could have sold them for a lot of money.

When she left last time, she didn't take anything with her except some clothes and such.

Yu Xiaozhen stood beside her with her nanny, as if afraid that the nanny would steal even a little of her property.

But it doesn't matter now.

Bai Tao stared at the 108,000 yuan in her WeChat balance and suddenly felt at ease, which was better than the disastrous start of her previous life.

She spends five thousand yuan a month on rent, and if she saves the rest, she can find some work to support Pei Jin for two years.

In his past life, Pei Jin was taken away by someone else; in this life, let her take his place!

Pei Jin, that's truly a child raised by the Pei family with money and resources, a young master built up with mountains of gold and silver.

Unfortunately, Pei Shengli was very shrewd. No matter how much he raised him, he would never allow a child who had no blood relation to him to inherit the family property, so he also kicked Pei Jin out of the house.

When Pei Jin finally turned his life around, he casually gave the little girl who saved him 100 million.

One hundred million, ladies.

Bai Tao took a deep breath: This is too bitter.

Although she felt sorry for the girl in her past life because she was both a mother and a nanny, Bai Tao never learned how to cook in her past life, even until her death.

But let her suffer this hardship!

With all this commotion, no one wanted to go back to their room to sleep, and the Bai family's living room was brightly lit.

Lin Meng was already dozing off on Bai Zhongjing's shoulder, and Bai Zhongjing was also half-closing his eyes, swaying from side to side.

Only Bai Tao was frantically posting on various platforms while glued to her phone. She was about to be kicked out and needed to find a place to stay quickly.

[Help! Sisters, does anyone know of any cheap and comfortable apartments in Beijing? Please DM me ASAP, preferably one I can move in with tomorrow!]

After posting, it was midnight, and everyone who was supposed to be asleep had gone to bed.

She wasn't in a hurry, and casually browsed rental guides while lounging on the sofa.

At 2 a.m., my phone suddenly vibrated.

A real estate agent with the online name "Brother Wang from Society" sent her a private message.

Hey sis, I have a few apartments here. What price range are you looking for?

This guy, Wang, didn't have much hope to begin with. The post had been up for two hours already; who would reply in the middle of the night?

Who knew that the phone would light up the next second.

Bai Tao stayed up all night, thoroughly reviewing rental advice and bargaining strategies. Now, she's bursting with energy and replying instantly.

[With a budget of 7,000, what kind of place can I rent?]

Actually, her budget was only five thousand.

However, this was a new trick she had just learned from a guide: ask for a higher price first, then you can try to negotiate it down.

A bunch of photos were quickly sent over from the other side.

Bai Tao scrolled through the papers one by one, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper. Those houses all looked awful; the walls were moldy, and the kitchens were so filthy they gave her goosebumps.

This is different from what's being said online.

Undeterred, she picked out a few more slightly brighter-looking rooms online and sent them over.

Brother Wang replied crisply and decisively.

[Like this? It'll cost 12,000!]

Bai Tao swallowed hard, nearly slipping off the sofa, but regained her composure and replied...

"Why 12,000? I think this is worth at most 5,000."

"Pshaw—look at that location! This is Beijing! Let me tell you, even a basement like this near the Second Ring Road costs 12,000 yuan."

Twelve thousand.

Bai Tao quickly calculated in her mind that she wouldn't even be able to support Pei Jin for a year.

She wouldn't even dare to dream of a hundred million, but fifty million... surely that would be alright?

But she really couldn't stand living in such a damp, dirty, and dilapidated place.

"Brother, I don't need a place that's really close by. Are there any that's a bit out of the way, but have a nice environment?"

Fearing the other person might be unhappy, she quickly added a grinning emoji.

After a few seconds of silence, the other end replied.

[It needs to be clean, cheap, and move in immediately.]

"Okay, there is one, the rent is eight thousand. But there's no toilet, so you'll either have to go to a public bathhouse or wait in line for a shower. Think about it."

Three photos followed.

One photo shows the shared kitchen, another shows the communal toilet, so small you can barely turn around, with a lone showerhead in the corner, and the last photo shows the bedroom.

It looks like a partitioned room converted from a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, with each bedroom being an independent unit.

The room has a two-seater sofa, a coffee table, a bed behind the sofa, a small wardrobe and a table at the foot of the bed, and a small balcony for drying clothes.

Bai Tao stared at the photo for a while, thinking that even though there was only one bed, hanging a curtain behind the sofa could still create a partition.

The environment is worlds apart from those moldy houses we lived in before.

It also has a small balcony and a small window, so the ventilation seems okay.

Bai Tao thought about it for a moment and felt that it wouldn't hurt to put a curtain behind the sofa; though small, it had all the essential parts.

She calculated that she would be kicked out of the house at noon today, while Pei Jin would be kicked out a day later.

With time running out and the task at hand, she needed to finalize the house purchase as soon as possible.

Bai Tao took a deep breath and replied to Brother Wang.

[Brother Wang, we're going to see the apartment this afternoon. It's settled!]

Having arranged to view the apartment with Brother Wang in the afternoon, Bai Tao breathed a sigh of relief and nestled into the sofa like a lazy cat.

Bai Fenglan was already drowsy, her head nodding as she held Yu Xiaozhen.

Bai Tao glanced at her sideways and glared at her fiercely.

This aunt is the most snobbish.

From childhood to adulthood, he had often stirred up trouble for Bai Zhongjing by exaggerating and embellishing his story.

Today they say she's unruly, tomorrow they say she's immature, using all sorts of tricks to get Bai Zhongjing to criticize her.

In front of strangers, they act more intimate than anyone else.

"Oh, our little Tao is so well-behaved!"

"I love this niece the most."

As a result, they cursed her behind her back, calling her an ungrateful wretch.

Bai Tao rolled her eyes, too lazy to look at her anymore, and leaned back.

The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes.

wrong.

What was she thinking just now?

She could go upstairs and pack some things while no one is paying attention to her!

Bai Tao jumped up and tiptoed up the stairs.

The moment she left, the person on the sofa whose arm she had been using as a pillow opened their eyes.

Bai Shen turned his head and glanced at the spot on his arm where she had just rested her head.

It's very light.

Like a hallucination.

He lowered his eyes, didn't move or make a sound, and just leaned quietly against the sofa, as if nothing had happened.

The second floor.

Bai Tao pushed open the door to her walk-in closet.

The walk-in closet, spanning a full 100 square meters, had all four walls covered with designer handbags, neatly stacked in several layers.

The clothes were hanging in the wardrobes on both sides, many still with the tags on, all colorful and new for the season.

In the very center of the dressing room is a large jewelry cabinet.

Bai Tao walked over and opened the drawer.

From childhood to adulthood, the rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that the Bai family bought for her, the gifts from her elders, and the items she collected on various occasions lay quietly on the velvet lining, shimmering under the warm yellow light.

She had thought that if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't be so upset.

We're going to be kicked out anyway.

However, looking at these pieces of evidence that she had once been cherished, Bai Tao's tears still welled up uncontrollably.

My family of twenty-three years.

If you say you don't want it, then you don't want it.

She quickly wiped her face with her sleeve, then pulled out her largest suitcase from the corner and started stuffing it inside with her head down.

Ring, decoration.

Necklace, ornament.

Earrings, accessories.

While bags hold their value better, they're too big; one bag takes up half a suitcase, which isn't cost-effective.

As she was pretending, Bai Tao suddenly stopped.

At the very back of the drawer lay a red box, one she had almost forgotten about.

Bai Tao's eyes instantly reddened again.

This red box... was given to her by her maternal grandmother.

Bai Tao gently opened the box, and inside lay a pair of imperial green jadeite bracelets, their green so intense and deep that they exuded a captivating nobility under the light.

This was given to her by her grandmother during the summer vacation after she was admitted to university. She didn't want to be under pressure at home, so she went back to the suburbs to stay with her grandmother for a few days. Her grandmother secretly gave it to her before she left.

"Take it, it's your dowry."

Grandma smiled, her eyes crinkling, her wrinkles full of love. "Don't tell your parents, this is our secret."

Her maternal grandmother loved her the most.

Of all the elders in the Bai family, only her maternal grandmother truly cherished and doted on her since she was a child.

It's not because of whether she's well-behaved or not, not because of her grades or whether she can be married into a powerful family, it's simply because she is who she is.

But Bai Tao didn't even get to see her grandmother one last time. Her grandmother passed away quietly when Bai Tao was a sophomore in college, during a school-organized lookout mission.

Bai Tao took a deep breath and carefully placed the red box into the hidden compartment at the bottom of the suitcase, pressing it to make sure it wouldn't get damaged.

"grandmother,"

She whispered, as if afraid of being overheard, "I miss you so much."

If you knew that Xiaotao wasn't your biological daughter, would you still love her so much?

After packing the jewelry, Bai Tao haphazardly stuffed some underwear, lotion, serum, sunscreen, foundation, and lipstick into the box.

These things are very expensive to buy outside, so take as many as you can.

Ten minutes later, he sat back down on the sofa without anyone noticing.

No one noticed that she had left.

Bai Shen closed his eyes, Bai Zhongjing dozed off, Lin Meng leaned on his shoulder, and Bai Fenglan was still sleeping soundly with Yu Xiaozhen in her arms.

Everything was exactly the same as before she left.

Bai Tao leaned back on the sofa and slowly exhaled.

The phone lit up.

Brother Wang sent me a message.

Boss, don't stand me up at 2 PM.

Bai Tao smiled and typed a reply:

Don't worry, it will be on time.
