Chapter 296 The Resilient Heart Collapses

Before she could finish speaking, Sun Liping looked at her with concern, much to Tang Wan'er's surprise, and said, "That woman shouldn't be your biological mother, right?"

Tang Wan'er was stunned for a moment, and the words she wanted to explain got stuck in her throat.

She nodded, her eyes dimming slightly. "Yes, I am not Liu Yun's biological daughter. Tang Susu is. My mother passed away when I was just a few years old."

She didn't want to explain anything further, after all, what happened back then was a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie.

Sun Liping stood up with a pained expression and walked to Tang Wan'er's side. She pulled out a chair, sat down, and took Tang Wan'er's hand, enveloping her cold little hand in her palm.

"You've really had a tough life, child. There aren't many stepmothers in this world who are truly good to their children. Actually, I felt something was off from the beginning. Liu Yun's smile always seemed fake, as if she didn't want you two to get married. Now that I think about it, it makes sense. You're not her biological daughter, so naturally she doesn't want you to marry better than her biological daughter. Mom can assure you, as long as you and Yan Zun have a good relationship, I'll..."

Dad will treat you like his own daughter. In our family, you will never suffer the slightest grievance. If it's Yan Zun's fault, if he bullies you, you can come back and tell me and your dad. We will absolutely not go easy on him just because he's a son. I will treat you like my own daughter.”

Fu Heng nodded in agreement, never expecting the child's fate to be so tragic.

They are people who have experienced and witnessed a lot, and they know that children who grow up with their stepmothers are quite pitiful.

Even if Tang Zhaohui showed great love for his daughter, he couldn't always protect her in that family.

If Tang Zhaohui were in charge of that household, Liu Yun and Tang Susu wouldn't have acted that way just now.

So you can easily imagine what kind of life this child has been living in the Tang family all these years.

"Your mother is right. Now that you've married into our family, you're family. We all like you very much and will treat you like our own daughter. If Yan Zun dares to bully you, come and tell us. If your family bullies you..."

"If you wrong us, you can tell us. Those who are related to us are now part of our family. To bully you is to bully us, and we will absolutely not let this go!"

After listening to Sun Liping and Fu Heng's words, Tang Wan'er felt deeply moved, not just moved, but also grateful.

No one has ever protected her like this before, from childhood to adulthood.

Even her own father had never said such heartwarming things to her.

My usually resilient heart suddenly crumbled and collapsed.

Tang Wan'er suddenly burst into tears, and it was a loud, wailing cry.

She cried so hard she couldn't say a word; tears streamed down her face like pearls from a broken string.

Her crying left the elderly couple completely bewildered.

I thought I had said something wrong, that something could have touched a nerve with her.

After all, a child like her, who grew up in the care of others, is naturally more sensitive and vulnerable.

Sun Liping held her in her arms and gently patted her back as if she were coaxing a child, her tone exceptionally gentle.
