Lin Yuqing's face was expressionless, but a hint of pain and resentment flickered in her eyes.
Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat.
She hurriedly grasped Lin Yuqing's hand, but felt that her hand was trembling slightly and was extremely cold.
"Sister Yuqing..."
"I...I really want to call the police!" Lin Yuqing's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip hard. "These days I've been thinking, if those two people hadn't taken Xiaoyouzi away back then, I wouldn't have been separated from my daughter for twenty years!"
“But… but try to think of the bright side!” Jiang Can tried to comfort her. “If they hadn’t saved Xiaoyouzi, she would have died in that shipwreck! Besides, for so many years, this couple has treated Xiaoyouzi like their own daughter…”
"But they were wrong too, they were wrong!"
Lin Yuqing shouted loudly.
After being diagnosed with depression, she found it difficult to control her emotions. She would get stuck on the smallest things and amplify her negative feelings.
What is a speck of dust to someone else becomes a mountain on her head, making it hard for her to breathe.
After Jiang Mianmian persuaded her last time, she obediently listened and took her medicine on time.
However, the side effects of the medication were particularly noticeable in her.
Sometimes she feels dizzy, breaks out in a cold sweat, and trembles all over; other times, like now, she is unable to control her thoughts and emotions.
It was as if a monster was rampaging through her body, destroying all her rationality, leaving her with endless negative information, and plunging her into a quagmire.
"No matter how good they are to my daughter... how are they any different from human traffickers? Since they rescued Xiaoyouzi in the first place, why didn't they hand her over to the police? Why did they secretly keep her with them!"
"They hid my daughter... They are so cruel!"
Lin Yuqing held her head in her hands, tearing at her hair in anguish, tears streaming down her face.
Jiang Can hugged her sadly and gently stroked her back.
"Can Can...do they still live with you?"
Jiang Can licked her lips and suddenly felt guilty.
Treating Jiang Youcai and Su Ai with courtesy would be like betraying my friendship with Lin Yuqing.
But they were people Huo Junyu respected, the parents who had raised Jiang Mianmian for twenty years...
Jiang Can let out a heavy breath and said softly, "Sister Yuqing, I need to explain this to you."
“Mianmian often comes to see Junyu, and I can also see the couple at my house... But Mianmian hasn’t forgotten you and Brother Shan!”
"I heard from Junyu that she works very hard at the company and said she wants to find out those who are bad for her parents... Sister Yuqing, the parents she's talking about are you two!"
"What?" Lin Yuqing exclaimed in surprise, her eyes brimming with tears. "She...she called us Mom and Dad?"
"Yes, Junyu and Yangyang both heard it."
Lin Yuqing bit her lip, and her tears fell even harder.
“Sister Yuqing, I understand how you feel,” Jiang Can comforted her. “But this matter is not so simple. After all, for Mianmian, they were her parents for the first twenty years of her life.”
"Also, Mianmian is very tired and busy at work every day. I heard that the person who bullied her in Jiangzhou is now going to work with her..."
"What?" Lin Yuqing suddenly looked up.
“It’s true.” Jiang Can nodded vigorously. “Ranran told me everything. That person went to the project team as an intern, and she’s the supervisor’s niece… Didn’t that female supervisor use her power to arrange for her niece to get into the company, which is a big taboo for Brother Shan?”
"Of course!" Lin Yuqing raised her voice. "Ashan values talent and hates nepotism the most!"
"And the one who came in was the one who bullied your daughter!"
"This is outrageous!" Lin Yuqing slammed her hand on the table.
At this moment, the ruthlessness in her eyes and the aura emanating from her body already resembled that of the matriarch of the Lu family.
"I'll go and deal with them right now!"
"Hey, Sister Yuqing!" Jiang Can quickly stood up and stopped her.
He stopped her while chuckling softly.
Lin Yuqing is still the same energetic and decisive Lin Yuqing from back then, the ever-efficient and efficient Sister Shan.
"Sister Yuqing, don't rush," she said softly. "Mianmian means to hold back for now, see how the other party plans to deal with her, and then she will respond accordingly."
"oh……"
"I think this is a good idea. Let the kids solve it themselves; we'll just stand behind them!"
"Hmm." Lin Yuqing thought for a moment, then unconsciously curled her lips into a proud smile. "Ashan and I are both impatient people. When faced with something like this, we'd be ready to grab a knife and start slashing people! It's only over the years that our edges have been smoothed out, and we've become more composed in our actions. I never expected my daughter to have such a mindset at such a young age. It really surprises me!"
"Perhaps... it's because that couple is good at educating their child." Jiang Can glanced at her and said in a low voice, "I heard that they scrimped and saved to send Mianmian to the best private school in the area. Although they don't know much about educating children, they don't care about the money at all."
Lin Yuqing's expression changed slightly, but she remained silent.
"Alright, let's not talk about them for now!" Jiang Can quickly changed the subject. "The most important thing right now is to stand up for our little Youzi and not let anyone bully our daughter!"
"Yes, you're right!" Lin Yuqing's gaze was firm.
“So…” Jiang Can rolled her eyes and handed her another cookie, “You need to eat and drink your fill to have the strength to protect your daughter, right?”
Lin Yuqing took it, and a smile returned to her face.
Jiang Can breathed a sigh of relief; the conflict had finally been resolved, and she was somewhat impressed with her own cleverness.
Oh right, what was Mianmian's nemesis's name again... I think it was Xia Zhi?
"Thank you, Miss Xia." Jiang Can chuckled to herself, "You're in for a treat from now on!"
