Chapter 109 Shi Yue's Background
Shi Yang knew yesterday that during the days since Shi Yue was arrested, the police had used her and the others arrested with her as a breakthrough point to quickly uncover the crimes she had committed and the foreign criminal organization behind her.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, prison will be her final destination in this life.
Shi Bin and Song Zhihua were still running around trying to figure out how to rescue Shi Yue.
Things don't always go as planned. A mistake is a mistake, and Shi Yue's crime is set in stone; there's no point in asking anyone else.
Shi Bin was devastated to discover that he had suffered a stroke, followed by a cerebral hemorrhage. The hospital even issued a death notice, and it took a full night of emergency treatment on New Year's Eve to pull him back from the brink of death, leaving him completely paralyzed.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I'll likely spend the rest of my life in bed.
When Shi Yang arrived at the hospital, he unsurprisingly received a look from Song Zhihua that resembled that of someone looking at their father's killer.
She could tolerate it, but Ji Peiheng couldn't. He stood in front of Shi Yang, his face bearing a gentle smile for an elder, his eyes indifferent: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is only right for your son-in-law to come and pay his respects."
He then turned to Shi Yang and said, "My mother-in-law must have been waiting for us all morning. It's understandable that she's a little angry because she didn't see us."
Shi Yang gave a fake laugh, not noticing.
Ji Peiheng raised his hand, and Liao Nan put down the New Year's goods and gifts.
Ji Peiheng smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Mother-in-law."
Shi Yang felt that Ji Peiheng was really annoying. During the New Year, his daughter was imprisoned, his husband was paralyzed, and his son was lame. No one would be happy.
Song Zhihua's face looked worse than leftovers that had been sitting out for three days.
She seemed to have something to say, but she suppressed her anger and said calmly to Ji Peiheng, "Peiheng, you've been married to Yangyang for so long now. If she does anything inappropriate, you must keep an eye on her. Like this time, she actually set up a scheme to get her own sister involved. I don't blame her; she's young and can't distinguish right from wrong."
Upon hearing this, Shi Xing couldn't help but interject, "Mom, please don't..."
"Shut up!" Song Zhihua snapped coldly.
Then, in a flattering tone, she said to Ji Peiheng, "Mom knows you're capable and have connections. Please help rescue her sister. Our Shi family will remember your great kindness."
"My older sister?" Ji Peiheng asked in surprise, "How come I heard that's not the case?"
Song Zhihua was confused and didn't understand what he meant.
Shi Yang didn't want to waste any more time with them, so she threw a few sheets of paper at her: "This is Shi Yue's DNA report. Take a look. The data shows that you and she have absolutely no mother-daughter relationship."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Where did you find this forged certificate? Shi Yang, what exactly are you trying to do?" Song Zhihua frowned and crumpled the report into a ball.
Shi Yang knew she wouldn't believe it easily.
She smiled and said a name: "Xu Lei, does this name sound familiar?"
Song Zhihua's expression changed: "How do you know about her?"
"It seems you are indeed very familiar with her."
What exactly are you trying to say?
When this name was mentioned, Song Zhihua's eyes revealed a deep sense of disgust and hatred.
This person almost ruined her family, and even after many years, she still feels disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly, whenever she thinks about it.
"Xu Lei was a maid in the Shi family a few years ago. She was quite pretty, and naturally, the young Shi Bin couldn't resist her, so the two quickly became involved. However, it wasn't long before you found out, and you broke them up by kicking Xu Lei out of the Shi family. If Shi Bin hadn't repeatedly assured you and knelt down to repent, you almost would have divorced him. Am I right?"
Shi Bin's success was entirely due to the support of Song Zhihua's maternal family; at that time, he dared not divorce her.
Shi Yang observed her.
Song Zhihua was completely unable to remain calm. Being confronted by his own daughter about such a disgraceful matter was not only embarrassing but also utterly humiliating.
Why are you saying all this?
“You kicked her out of the Shi family, so you probably didn’t know she was already pregnant at that time.”
Song Zhihua suddenly looked up: "What did you say?"
Shi Yang continued, "At that time, you were also pregnant. Ten months later, you had a difficult childbirth and almost died on the operating table. Xu Lei gave birth on the same day as you, right next to you."
Song Zhihua was completely stunned. When she kicked Xu Lei out of the Shi family, she also brought people to teach this arrogant and ignorant bitch a lesson.
She had considered divorce, but at that time she had just found out she was pregnant. For the sake of the child, she ultimately decided to give Shi Bin another chance. Later, Shi Bin did indeed fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and father and did not misbehave.
Not long after, she experienced a difficult childbirth, and the doctor even asked her whether to save the mother or the child, as her life hung in the balance. Therefore, she cherished this child, who almost couldn't be born, and gave her all her love, showering her with affection.
Shi Yang's next words dealt Song Zhihua an even heavier blow.
"In reality, your child was never born. The child you thought you gave everything for was a stillborn baby with no heartbeat from the moment of birth, and was taken away by the nurse on the spot."
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Zhihua's eyes were bloodshot. "Yueyue has been raised by my side since she was born. I have personally witnessed her grow from a babbling child to a graceful young lady. How could she be a stillborn baby?"
"Because Shi Yue is not your child at all; she is Xu Lei's child. While you were unconscious, Shi Bin went to the next delivery room and made a deal with Xu Lei, bringing her child to you. From the moment you opened your eyes, for the next few decades, all you saw were Xu Lei's children!"
Song Zhihua trembled and almost fell over: "You're talking nonsense, do you have any evidence?"
Seeing her distraught and swaying appearance, Shi Yang didn't feel the satisfaction she had imagined. She turned her head away from her and calmly explained, "Shi Bin made a deal with Xu Lei. He would give you his child to raise, and this child would receive the best resources in the future. What future could he have if he grew up with a nanny as his mother? In the end, he even gave Xu Lei a sum of money. Xu Lei agreed, and after giving birth, she ran back to her hometown of Mocheng without even taking a proper postpartum rest."
"However, she did not keep her promise never to see Shi Yue again. When Shi Yue was very young, she came to the capital and, behind your and Shi Bin's backs, contacted Shi Yue more than once. Shi Yue knew long ago that she was not your biological daughter. She could not accept that she was the child of a nanny. The more she hated her birth, the more she hated me and Shi Xing, because I and Shi Xing were your real biological children."
At this point, Yang couldn't help but laugh, a sarcastic laugh.
She had always longed for maternal love from Song Zhihua, but Song Zhihua had given it all to her husband's affair and the child with another man.
Even after being bullied by other children, Song Zhihua still showed favoritism and protected them.
The moment she learned the truth, she felt that God had played a cruel joke on her. She wished she wasn't their biological child, or that Song Zhihua had been kept in the dark and loved someone else's child.
She could hate her for her favoritism, hate that she didn't love her, but she couldn't hate the one who was kept in the dark.
