Chapter 29: A Mother's Strength 1
Chapter 1
"Although I'm not their biological mother, am I not good enough to them?"
Wan Ziyu looked at Qi Qi dejectedly, his eyes dull and emotionless.
She was unable to have children due to physical reasons, and married Qiao Chengde mainly because Qiao Chengde already had a pair of lovely children. However, she did not expect that everything was a scam from the very beginning.
Wan Ziyu was completely hopeless and felt that his life was a joke.
She is a capable lady who is invincible in business and an exquisite girl in life.
Compared to being betrayed by her husband, she obviously could not accept that the child she had devoted half her life to had also betrayed her.
"If I could do it all over again, I hope you'd treat Wenxing better. I was wrong. Some people, even if I raise them for a lifetime, still turn out to be ungrateful. Wenxing, even though I never raised him for a single day, already knows how to be grateful."
She wiped away her tears and said, "This is my obsession. This child has suffered so much. It's my fault for not knowing him well and not caring about him more."
"Deal done."
Wan Ziyu was born in a simple family. Both his parents were only children and they did not have many relatives.
One year, due to an infectious disease, both sets of parents died, leaving a large inheritance to Wan Ziyu's parents.
After Wan Ziyu came of age, her parents died of a family illness, leaving her alone.
She originally wanted to start a family and have a child, but she didn't expect that she was born with a hypoplastic uterus and was unable to bear children.
By chance, she met Qiao Chengde.
Qiao Chengde's wife died early, leaving behind a pair of children, Qiao Xinxin and Qiao Zhenghao.
Qiao Chengde is young, handsome, and compassionate, and appears almost exactly as Wan Ziyu likes him.
Soon, Wan Ziyu and Qiao Chengde fell in love and started a family.
Everything seemed to be going in the right direction until Wan Ziyu discovered that Qiao Chengde had a mistress outside.
After investigation, it was discovered that the woman was Qiao Chengde’s “deceased wife”.
Wan Ziyu wanted to divorce, but when she was about to show her hand, she found out that Qiao Zhenghao and someone else's child had been reported wrongly.
Bad things happen one after another.
Qiao Chengde knelt down and apologized, saying that he had concealed the fact that his ex-wife was still alive only because he loved her.
Qiao Zhenghao and Qiao Xinxin morally blackmailed her and forced her to stay in the Qiao family.
Her repeated acts of weakness became her death warrant.
In the end, she died in the car accident that Qiao Chengde carefully planned.
·
"How could they have been taken away by mistake? How could these two children have been taken away by mistake?" Qiao Chengde grabbed his hair and rubbed it painfully.
There were photos of Qiao Chengde and his ex-wife in Qi Qi's bag. He wanted to question her, but couldn't bring himself to say it.
Qi Qi walked up to Qiao Chengde and patted him on the shoulder. "Let's go see the child. After all, he's your child. We can't let him wander around outside."
"But what about Zhenghao!" Qiao Chengde raised his head and said with tears in his eyes.
He does have a good appearance. He is over 30 years old, but he still looks as young as 20 years old. His pair of puppy eyes make it difficult to see the calculations in them.
Qi Qi sighed and said, "Take Zhenghao with you. After all, they are his biological parents."
Qiao Chengde was indeed hesitant. After all, he was still his biological son. No matter how good Qiao Zhenghao was, he was still someone else's child.
But he couldn't say that.
When Qiao Chengde and he found the Jiang family, there was a huge pit between Qiao Chengde's eyebrows.
In Qiao Chengde's opinion, the Jiang family was too poor. They lived in a tube-shaped building full of poor people. The narrow stairs led to a long and narrow corridor filled with garbage and daily necessities, and the air was filled with the smell of poverty.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of children were raised in such a poor place.
He began to have second thoughts and held Qiao Zhenghao's hand even tighter.
Qiao Zhenghao cried out, "Dad, you pinched me!"
Although ten-year-old Qiao Zhenghao knew what was happening, he did not understand that everything before his eyes would overturn his life.
He subconsciously turned his gaze to his father, who decided his fate, but received no response.
Qiao Chengde looked at everything in front of him with disgust. At this moment, he did not feel heartache for his own children living here, but disgust.
Qi Qi found the corresponding room door and knocked on it.
Soon, there was the sound of dragging footsteps, and the dilapidated door made a painful wailing sound.
The world inside the room was no different from the world outside, just as messy, with beer bottles thrown everywhere, lunch boxes that had been stored for who knows how long, and tables, chairs, and sofas, all in tatters.
Qi Qi subconsciously lowered his head and looked at the boy who opened the door.
He was very thin. He was the same age as Qiao Zhenghao, but a head shorter than him. His palm-sized face had no baby fat, but there were traces of bruises.
Extending from below his chin to deep into his clothes, there was a clear burn mark, twisting and winding in a disgusting manner.
"My father is not at home. If he lost your money, you can come in and get your things!" After saying that, he turned sideways. A young child could say such calm words.
Qi Qi didn't dare to think about what he had been through to have the peace he had today.
She squatted down and held the little boy in her arms. At first he resisted, but soon he gave up struggling.
"If you want to play tricks on me, you have to know that I'm not yet an adult. Even if my father owes you money, I can call the police."
His toughness crumbled as his body trembled.
Qi Qi patted the little boy's hair and whispered comfortingly, "Baby, we are not here to collect debts. This is your father. We are here to take you home!"
Qi Qi pointed at Qiao Chengde, who was avoiding him as much as possible, and said, "Baby, why don't you go out and play for a while? Mommy will take you home later!"
Even though he knew that the little boy had suffered a lot and no longer had any expectations of his adoptive parents, Qi Qi still wanted to reduce the harm to him.
Qi Qi walked into the room and knocked on the door again. "Mr. Jiang Shide, Ms. Miao Junjun, we are not here to collect debts. We just recently discovered that our child was taken away by mistake. We came here to discuss how to resolve this matter."
Not long after Qi Qi's voice fell, the bedroom door next to the living room was opened, and two men and women in slippers walked out.
The man's hair was messy and hung behind his ears, and the woman's hair was permed in waves.
Both of them were wearing clothes that were already covered in oil stains, and they looked even dirtier than the little boy.
The two of them sat down casually on the sofa and felt something under their buttocks, which hurt them. They twisted their bodies and threw the lunch box under their buttocks aside.
The two immediately hugged each other and looked at Qi Qi and Qiao Chengde at the same time.
Qi Qi only let the little boy walk out of the door. Qiao Zhenghao was pulled by her and stood between her and Qiao Chengde.
Compared to the little boy, Qiao Zhenghao was wearing a children's suit and a pair of genuine leather shoes. His hair was combed straight back, and he looked like a little prince from a fairy tale.
He is indeed a little prince. During all these years in the Qiao family, Qiao Chengde has never treated him badly, and the original owner has taken care of him like his own son.
But Qiao Zhenghao would call her a bitch in disgust behind her back, and would hang up the phone on her without mercy after she called for help.
Qi Qi pushed Qiao Zhenghao and said, "Zhenghao, these are your parents, hurry up and call them."
Qiao Zhenghao looked at Qiao Chengde for help. He didn't want such parents. He wanted to go home.
Qiao Chengde looked at Qi Qi awkwardly, "I'm afraid this child won't be able to accept it for the time being..."
Qi Qi sighed and looked at Jiang Shide and Miao Junjun.
The two of them obviously didn't care much about who their child was. Their eyes were always on Qi Qi and Qiao Chengde's clothes, and they even looked greedily at the million-dollar watch on Qiao Chengde's hand many times.
This couple knows what they are doing.
"This is Qiao Chengde, my husband. I don't know if you've heard of him, but you should have heard of Wan Zi Group. He's the vice chairman of the Wan Zi Group."
Qiao Chengde straightened his chest. Although he wondered why Qi Qi didn't introduce her as the chairman of the board, he always liked the awe-inspiring looks from others, so he didn't take it to heart.
Sure enough, after introducing Qiao Chengde's identity, the expressions of Jiang Shide and Miao Junjun changed instantly.
They sat up straight, respectfully poured a glass of not-so-clean water for Qiao Chengde, and then began to eat charcoal.
Jiang Shide said, "What a coincidence! Our names both contain the character '德' (De) and our child happened to be taken away by mistake."
Miao Junjun reached out and grabbed the soft flesh on Jiang Shide's waist. She said more directly, "You can take the little bastard away if you want. How much money can you give us?"
The three words "little bastard" made Qi Qi and Qiao Chengde frown.
Qiao Chengde looked at Qi Qi and shook his head slightly.
Qi Qi didn't see it. She looked away and patted Qiao Zhenghao's back with her palm.
Qiao Chengde asked, "Doesn't the child have a proper name?"
Jiang Shide laughed shamelessly, "Well, if abortion wasn't possible back then, who would have given birth to that little bastard..."
His voice gradually lowered, and he fixed his gaze on Qiao Zhenghao. "Well, I just said it casually. Just think of it as someone who doesn't have the money to register his household registration. It's easier to live with a cheap name."
Qiao Chengde pursed his lips, he was having trouble keeping a calm expression. Even though he didn't like the little boy's existence, he was still his child after all.
He raised Qiao Zhenghao so carefully, but his son was raised as a little bastard.
Qiao Chengde's cheeks twitched unconsciously.
"My husband and I mean that our family is better off, so we want our children to live with us so they can have a good education in the future."
Jiang Shide nodded, and was about to be polite again when Miao Junjun pinched his soft flesh again.
Miao Junjun said bluntly: "One million, give us one million, and you can take whatever you want, little bastard."
Qi Qi finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to confirm whether we are scammers?"
Jiang Shide said indifferently: "Even if he is a liar, as long as you pay, the little bastard will be your son!"
He laughed out loud, "We can go through the formalities anytime. As long as you have the money, we won't have any problems at all."
