Chapter 56 The truth comes out: I'm not his daughter!!

This slap not only stunned Shen Qingqing, but also left everyone in the Gu family momentarily speechless.

Zhang Huilan was the first to react. The anger that Shen Qingqing had stirred up in her heart instantly found an outlet, and she felt incredibly relieved!

She slammed her hand on the sofa armrest and stood up abruptly.

"Jingya is absolutely right!"

Zhang Huilan's gaze swept over Shen Qingqing like a knife, her face full of disappointment.

"We, the Gu family, will handle our own affairs! Yueyue is the daughter-in-law we have chosen. Even if the sky falls, we will hold it up for her. When did it become your place, an outsider, to shout and make a fuss and cause her to suffer!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Shen Qingqing, whose face was pale. She turned around and walked quickly to Su Yue's side, grabbed her hand, and felt both heartache and guilt.

"Good child, it's Auntie's fault for not treating you well and making you feel wronged. Don't mind her, she's just a mad dog barking."

"that is!"

Gu Nanxing, who had been holding back his anger, finally found an opportunity. He suddenly jumped up from the sofa like a leopard that had been provoked, rushed straight to Shen Qingqing, put his hands on his hips, and started cursing.

"Shen Qingqing, who do you think you are! What gives you the right to talk about my second sister-in-law like that! Let me tell you, my second sister-in-law is the best person in the world! She has superb medical skills, and she's beautiful and cool! You're not even worthy to carry her shoes!"

The more she targeted Su Yue before, the more diligently she's now defending her.

Gu Nanxing held her head high, looking like she was ready to fight anyone who dared to touch her sister-in-law. Her possessive manner made Gu Beihan and his wife, who were standing nearby, chuckle.

This little sister-in-law has finally grown up.

Shen Qingqing was completely dumbfounded.

She glanced at Chu Jingya, whose demeanor was elegant yet whose words were piercing; then at Zhang Huilan, whose face was full of anger and who was protecting Su Yue behind her; and then at Gu Nanxing, who looked like he wanted to pounce on her and bite her...

She felt like everyone in the living room was staring at her like needles. She was both ashamed and angry, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't even dare to cry.

She became a complete joke!

Su Yue looked at everything before her and smiled gently.

He slowly took out the neatly folded telegram from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"Since everyone is so concerned about my 'family affairs,' why don't we take a look at this first?"

Zhang Huilan was the first to pick it up, and Gu Zhengfeng and Grandma Gu also joined in.

The typeface on the telegram was clear and strong.

[This is to certify that Ms. Su Yue, a resident of Haishi City, has been verified to have no blood relation with the criminal Su Guohua...]

The few lines of text were enough to make the entire living room so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Zhang Huilan's hands were trembling as she held the telegram. She suddenly looked up at Su Yue, her eyes filled with shock and heartache.

"This...this is real?"

Shen Qingqing saw it too. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she screamed, "Impossible! This must be a fake!"

Su Yue didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. She looked at Gu Zhengfeng and Grandma Gu in a flat tone.

“This telegram was sent directly from the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to the Beijing Military Region Headquarters. Whether it is genuine or not, Uncle can find out with a simple check.”

Gu Zhengfeng's eyes were sharp. He stared at the telegram for a long time before finally nodding and saying in a deep voice, "I trust the organization."

In short, that defined the nature of the matter.

Shen Qingqing's face turned completely pale.

Su Yue then turned her gaze to her, a mocking smile curving her lips.

"As for those rumors you mentioned, where did you hear them from? Did you hear them from my dear stepsister Lin Wan'er, who was exiled to the far northwest, or from Dr. Liang at the military hospital, who is in love with Beichen but cannot have him?"

She paused, looked around, and spoke softly, yet her voice carried clearly to everyone's ears.

"Back then, in order to ruin my marriage with Beichen, you and Liang Manyun specifically wrote to me, spreading rumors that Beichen was seriously injured and disabled. I think everyone is still unaware of this, right?"

Su Yue's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.

Shen Qingqing's face turned pale instantly, and she instinctively screamed, "You're lying! How could you know?!"

She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

The entire living room was deathly silent.

The eyes of everyone in the Gu family were like knives, all fixed on her.

Isn't this just admitting guilt without being asked?

Su Yue picked up the teacup, gently blew on the steam, and didn't even glance at her.

"How did I know? The letter was written on stationery from the military hospital. The handwriting was delicate, but it deliberately imitated a man's handwriting, making it look awkward and incongruous."

"The letter said that Bei Chen was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and that he was... crippled. It was made up in great detail, but unfortunately, it was made up in the wrong place."

Su Yue finally shifted her gaze from the teacup to Shen Qingqing's pale face.

"Dr. Liang is a surgeon, and you, Dr. Shen, are an internist. The two of you, one handing over the scalpel and the other administering the poison, work together quite well. Listening to all sorts of injuries in the hospital every day, piecing together a lie that sounds very convincing, must not be difficult for you, right?"

These words were clear, logical, and well-reasoned, leaving Shen Qingqing rooted to the spot.

She panicked completely, grabbed Gu Nanxing's arm, and stammered, "It wasn't me! It really wasn't me! It was Liang Manyun! It was all her idea!"

"She said that as long as you break off the engagement, Brother Beichen will be hers! I... I was just confused for a moment and sent the letter for her! I didn't know anything about it!"

She tried to shirk all responsibility and distance herself from the issue.

But nobody's a fool.

"Smack!"

Grandma Gu slammed her teacup heavily on the table, spilling the tea inside.

The old lady's eyes were as cold as ice: "Confused? I think you're vicious! You'd actually resort to such despicable means. Our Gu family has been blind all these years, treating you like our own granddaughter!"

Shen Qingqing trembled with fear at the rebuke. Seeing the disdainful looks from the crowd, she knew she was doomed.

All the pretense and scheming became a joke at this moment.

In despair, resentment and hatred grew wildly from the bottom of her heart. She suddenly broke free from Gu Nanxing and stared at Su Yue with bloodshot eyes.

"Su Yue, you bitch! What are you so smug about! Even if you're not Su Guohua's daughter, you're still a bastard of unknown origin! What makes you think you can marry Brother Beichen! A woman like you only knows how to scheme and plot!"

Faced with this mad dog-like attack, Su Yue didn't even flinch.

She slowly put down her teacup and chuckled softly.

"Later, they spread rumors in the military compound that I faked my pregnancy to trick people into marriage. Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of keeping evidence."

Su Yue slowly picked up the teacup on the table and blew on it to cool it down.

"I happen to have a cassette tape. It contains the entire conversation between my dear stepmother Lin Xiuzhen and Su Guohua about how to curry favor with the powerful and how to sell me for a good price. I wonder if any of you are interested in listening to it?"

"boom!"

These words made everyone in the Gu family uneasy.

If the telegram was a clarification, then the tape was a desperate counterattack!

This is no capitalist lady who can be easily manipulated; she is clearly a ruthless character with sharp weapons and a meticulous mind!

The usually silent Mr. Shen Congwen then slammed his cane on the ground.

"Let me make this clear today! Yueyue is my adopted granddaughter, Shen Congwen! I vouch for her character with my own face! Her medical skills saved my life! Anyone who dares to bully her because of some unfounded rumors is going against the Shen family!"

The old man's words were firm and resolute; he stood by him to the very end!

Shen Qingqing was completely devastated by these successive blows. Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.
