My older sister secretly gave birth to a child and then went abroad to study. My mom told me to adopt the baby. "Don't go to college. You raise her. Mom will help out, and in the future, she'll be your support." I took a deep breath, just about to unleash a string of curses, when lines of text suddenly appeared in mid-air: 【The female lead is so smart, dumping the kid on the supporting female character to raise while she shines alone. When she comes back successful and glamorous, the kid will still be hers!】 【I can't wait to see the truth revealed five years later, and the infertile young master of the Hayes family groveling to win his wife back! Hmph! Today you ignore me, tomorrow I'll be out of your league.】 【The 'running away with the baby' trope is cliché, but we really love watching it!】 I sneered. The Hayes family, right? I picked up the baby and marched straight to the Hayes mansion, kicking the door open. "Either marry me, or give me money! I gave birth to your son's seed!!" Mrs. Hayes was stunned for a moment. "Alright then, I'll have them prepare for a wedding." Me: "..." Wait, there was another option. Aren't you going to consider it? 1 Early one morning, my mom sneakily brought home a baby girl. "Chloe, Mom found a baby abandoned at our doorstep! Look at her, she's so pitiful!" I peeked over. The baby was wrapped in a brand-new, light pink swaddle. Her little face was rosy and fair, and she was sleeping soundly. Only an idiot would believe she was picked up off the street! A week ago, my mom and my older sister, Claire, had been acting incredibly secretive, not coming home for several days. I secretly followed them. I saw them with my own eyes going into the maternity ward of a hospital. Honestly, I always thought my sister, Claire, thought too highly of herself. I never expected she would secretly have a child for some man. Seeing I wasn't saying anything, my mom said anxiously: "This child has a connection with our family, let's keep her. You raise her, Mom will help, and she'll be grown up in no time." I was trembling with anger, and I sneered: "Mom, are you out of your mind? It's bad enough you're not paying for me to go to college. It's bad enough you secretly sold our other house to pay for Claire to study abroad! What makes you think you can make me raise a child of unknown origin?!" "What exactly am I to you in your heart?!" 2 Since we were little, my mom always favored Claire. In her eyes, Claire was smarter and prettier than me. She was destined to stand out and bring glory to the family. So she directed all the family's resources toward Claire. If there was only one piece of candy, it was Claire's. A new pair of leather shoes? Definitely Claire's. When my dad was alive, he barely managed to keep a balance so I wouldn't suffer too much. But after my dad died, my mom slowly went crazy. Now look at this! All the money was given to Claire. Not only was she not paying for my college, but she was also making me raise Claire's illegitimate daughter. It was truly despicable! I finally saw the true face of my family of origin! Seeing my fierce expression, my mom's face changed slightly: "Chloe, it's not like that. Look how cute this baby is. It's so pitiful to be born without anyone." "Listen to Mom, the old saying goes, it's wicked to abandon a child left at your door!" "Don't worry, your grades aren't as good as your sister's anyway, it doesn't matter if you go to that second-tier college or not. If you raise this child well, she'll be your support in the future!" I sneered: "Oh, abandoning a child at the door is wicked? I think you have it backward. Having a child and not raising it is what's wicked!" "I'm only nineteen. If I don't go to college, don't work, and raise a child, will I even be able to get married in the future? What will people say about me?! Have you thought about that?" My mom was determined to pin this child on me. She was ruthless! Seeing I was unyielding, my mom yelled: "I'm doing this for your own good! Why are you so ungrateful!" I couldn't be bothered to argue with her. Actually, I had already packed my bags. Leaving this wolf's den, I have hands and feet, I can survive somehow! But just then, lines of text suddenly appeared in mid-air: 【The female lead is so smart, dumping the kid on the supporting female character and the mom to raise while she shines alone. When she comes back successful and glamorous, the kid will still be hers!】 【I can't wait to see the truth revealed five years later, and the infertile young master of the Hayes family groveling to win his wife back! Hmph! Today you ignore me, tomorrow I'll be out of your league.】 【The 'running away with the baby' trope is cliché, but we really love watching it!】 Seeing these words clearly, I stopped in my tracks. 3 So that's how it was. I remembered about a year ago, it seemed my sister had started dating someone. Rumor had it he was a wealthy young master named Julian Hayes. My mom was over the moon. Dreaming every day of my sister marrying into a billionaire family. Then she would rise in status along with her, enjoying wealth and prestige. But half a year ago, my sister's attitude suddenly grew cold again. She walked around with a long face all day, acting like someone owed her a million dollars. After that, she stopped coming home. Occasionally when we met, she wore lots of layers, looked noticeably heavier, and acted secretive. I actually thought she had been dumped. I was secretly happy for a few days. Turns out, she was planning to run away with the baby! Just then, the baby suddenly started crying. My mom frantically shoved the baby into my arms and went to mix formula. The floating comments started rolling again: 【Speaking of which, the plot is pretty melodramatic. The male lead, Julian, got into a car accident drag racing for the female lead... Not only did he get amnesia, but he's paralyzed from the waist down... But the female lead just abandoned the child and went abroad...】 【The female lead did the right thing! The kid is still young and won't remember anything. When she grows up, she'll be close to whoever gives her money!】 【Exactly! It's completely normal for the female lead to reject the male lead looking like a ghost right now. When the male lead recovers in the future and the female lead comes back, won't a family reunion be perfect?!】 4 After reading these morally bankrupt, bullshit comments. A brilliant plan popped into my head. The reason my mom and sister kept this child. Was actually hoarding a rare commodity. Because they knew Julian was crippled. The Hayes family would definitely want this child in the future. So when my sister returns in glory. This child would be her bargaining chip to legitimately marry into the wealthy family. But the prerequisite was sacrificing my education, my career, and my youth. It was easy to imagine that once my mom and sister struck it rich, I would be tossed aside. Then why shouldn't I go to the Hayes family ahead of time? And take the share that belongs to me?! I really am smart. Next, I pretended to accept my mom's arrangement. Then I asked around, got the address of the Hayes mansion, and verified what exactly had happened to the Hayes family. Luckily, the people in those comments weren't lying. So, one morning. I sent my mom out to buy formula. Then I carried the baby, hailed a cab, and headed straight for the Hayes mansion. 5 Arriving at the Hayes estate. Mrs. Hayes received me gently. "You are... my son's friend? It's rare for someone to still want to visit him at a time like this..." I tilted my chin up, sat down brazenly on the sofa, and declared boldly: "I gave birth to your son's seed!!" "Either marry me, or give me money!" I had thought this through beforehand. If I just asked for money, the Hayes family would definitely try to haggle. But if I used the threat of marrying in. They would definitely be more willing to just give me money. I understood how these tropes worked! Mrs. Hayes was dumbfounded. It took her five minutes to recover. "This child... is Julian's?" I nodded firmly: "Don't try to deny it, DNA technology exists now!" Mrs. Hayes took a deep breath. She carefully examined the baby's features. A moment later, she covered her face and wept: "She looks exactly like Julian when he was little..." Me: "..." Her reaction was a bit different from what I expected. Next, Mrs. Hayes said: "I'll have someone do a DNA test right now. If the child is really Julian's, then we'll prepare for a wedding! We will definitely take responsibility!" "At a time like this, the fact that you haven't abandoned him... I won't mistreat you!" Me: "..." Wait, there's another option. Aren't you going to consider it? Take the kid. Give me the money!! Comments scrolled wildly across the sky: 【What is the supporting female character doing! If she runs to the Hayes family and spills everything now, what will the female lead do in the future!】 【That damn supporting character, she's trying to impersonate the female lead to become a rich wife! It won't be that easy!】 【Don't worry everyone, when she gets exposed in the future, she'll die a miserable death!】 I shot a cold glare at the air. Hmph! The more you don't want me to marry in, the more I will! Once I've milked enough money, I won't care about any of this!! 6 After settling into the guest room. I thought things over calmly. I was only nineteen. I had no degree and no real-world experience. Taking the money and running right now wasn't the optimal solution. Even if I got the money in my hands. Whether I could keep it was another story. The comments said my sister wouldn't return for five years. Then these next few years would be the perfect time for me to comfortably study and improve myself while living with the Hayes family. Once I graduate from college and have milked enough money... I'll naturally just walk away! A perfect plan! 7 Because the baby and I had vanished. My mom frantically called me. "Where the hell did you go!! And the baby?!" I picked my ear and said impatiently: "The baby was picked up off the street, so naturally I gave her away. Don't worry, I gave her to a wealthy family." This child didn't even have a birth certificate. She was an undocumented citizen. Even if my mom called the cops, she wouldn't be able to explain it. She was instantly dumbfounded: "You... how could you be so cruel! Where are you? I'll come find you, you bring that child back to me right now!" I said coldly: "Mom, is there a problem with giving a foundling to someone who needs her?" My mom lost it: "That's your sister's... That child looks so much like your sister, how could you do such a thing! Bring the child back, or I'm calling the police! I'll sue you for kidnapping! I'll send you to jail!" I snorted coldly: "Mom, stop trying to fool me! This child is Claire's, isn't she?" "I'm not going to raise her anyway, and you don't have the ability to raise her alone. Isn't giving her away a good thing?" "If you dare call the police, I swear I'll make Claire's out-of-wedlock pregnancy known to everyone, and I'll never tell you where the child went!!" My mom froze, trembling as she spoke: "Chloe... how did you become like this?" Wasn't it because of you pushing me?! I roared: "Your favoritism is your business, but I won't play along! When Claire comes back in the future, I can tell you where the child is. But if you insist on making a scene now, then let's both go down in flames!" After saying that, I hung up the phone. I knew my mom wouldn't make a scene. First, she insisted on dumping the child on me because she had no confidence in raising a baby herself. To her, this child was a burden. She didn't want to raise it. Second, Claire was her life's masterpiece. She wouldn't allow a single blemish on Claire's reputation. Sure enough, she quieted down after that. She didn't even ask if I had money to live on. I took this opportunity to completely cut contact with her. 8 The next day, the DNA report came out. As expected of a wealthy family. The report came out so fast. Mrs. Hayes was thanking her lucky stars. "This is wonderful, my son has an heir... and a wedding to plan... Once things get moving, everything will get better..." Following that. Under my persuasion, we held a low-key, intimate wedding at home. Because I hadn't reached the legal marrying age yet. So we couldn't register the marriage officially. Mrs. Hayes promised me. When the time came, she would definitely give me legal status. On the day of the wedding. I finally met Julian for the first time. To be honest, I kind of understood why my sister ran away. Julian sat despondently in his wheelchair. His eyes were sunken, and he was skin and bones. His hair and beard were so overgrown you couldn't even see his original face. If you put him on the street. He would look exactly like a homeless person. He looked at me and the baby. His eyes were completely dead. After the wedding, Mrs. Hayes set three ground rules with me. She was willing to pay for my college education and give me a monthly allowance of fifty thousand dollars. After some haggling, I bumped it up to a hundred thousand. There were maids and nurses at home. I didn't have to do chores, look after the baby full-time, or help Julian with his physical therapy. But apparently, he was very uncooperative. Mrs. Hayes hoped I wouldn't live on campus, and that after school every day, I would spend an hour interacting with Julian and the baby. Truly the heart of a loving mother. I agreed.
