Su Yang took the initiative to guide Wen Yan's speech: "I need to tidy up first before I can show you the things."
Wen Yan hummed in agreement and nodded obediently.
But in her heart she was thinking that this was a good opportunity to talk to Su Yang about Shen Zhirou.
No one was likely to enter her study, and she wasn't afraid of being overheard by others.
"By the way, Mom, can I ask you about Zhirou?"
"Is it Zhirou's problem?"
Su Yang didn't find it strange.
Whether from Wen Yan's inner thoughts or her actions, Su Yang could tell that she was trying hard to win over Zhi Rou.
Therefore, it is understandable that she is now asking me about Zhirou.
Su Yang simply stopped what she was doing and pulled Wen Yan to sit down on the sofa next to her.
"Tell me, what do you want to know? Mom will tell you everything."
"Hmm! I just want to ask Zhirou how she left home back then, and what kind of life she lived during those ten years of wandering."
"Sigh!" Upon hearing this question, Su Yang let out a deep sigh.
However, since she was already prepared to tell Wen Yan, she didn't intend to keep it a secret anymore.
"Zhirou left because she had a very serious blood disease, and it was too late when it was discovered. At that time, she basically lived in the hospital every day, her studies were interrupted, and the hospital issued us critical condition notices every few days."
The only solution is a bone marrow transplant. But even with our financial situation, we haven't been able to find a suitable donor. I've even considered having another child, hoping it might save her.
However, my uterus was damaged when I gave birth to Zhirou, and the doctor said it was not suitable for me to get pregnant again. Moreover, none of my four older brothers were a match for bone marrow, so I gave up the idea of getting pregnant.
Back then, she was undergoing chemotherapy every day. Zhirou, such a beautiful girl, lost all her hair. We knew she was in a lot of pain every day, suffering from the torment of her illness. But as parents, we didn't want to give up on her like that.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and left the hospital when the caregiver wasn't in the room. Your dad and I were going crazy; we were checking all the security footage to find her.
The next day, we found the shoes she wore the day she left the hospital and a letter hidden under a rock by the river. The child said she didn't want to see her parents suffer anymore, and she didn't want to see her mother crying all the time. So she chose to end her life by jumping into the river.
I completely broke down at that moment, and searched along the river day and night like a madman. I wanted to find him alive or dead. But strangely, we never found the body.
For those three years, I truly lived like a walking corpse. Because we couldn't find her body, I firmly believed she was still alive, but the thought of her being alive yet unable to be found was unbearable torment.
I was already depressed at that time, and then your dad brought you home. You were like a warm little sun, healing me. Without your companionship all those years, I really don't know what I would have done.
Seven more years passed, and we still hadn't given up looking for Zhirou. Then, on your birthday, Zhirou's adoptive parents suddenly showed up at our door.
It turns out that Zhirou really didn't die. After she jumped into the river, she was pulled onto a boat and taken home by her adoptive parents. But by then she had lost the will to live, so she didn't choose to go home.
Her adoptive parents treated her very well. When they learned of her illness, they took her to the hospital for a bone marrow match, and it turned out to be a match. The surgery was also successful. She was very strong; she endured various complications after the surgery until she recovered her health, and only then did she come back to me and your father.
These past events are a pain that will forever remain in my heart, and also in Zhirou's. She didn't have a good life during those years, so I rarely mention that period. But today, Mom is telling you all of this in the hope that you two sisters can get along well.
"Maybe there were some things in the past that made you feel like your dad and I were biased, but that was because we wanted to make it up to Zhirou. Do you understand, Yan Yan?"
"I can. I understand, it's only natural."
Shen Zhirou's past does sound pitiful and evokes sympathy.
However, in the latter half, combined with Shen Zhirou's two-faced and dark personality, Wen Yan now feels that it is very unreasonable.
Because it was too coincidental, too bizarre, it was just like something out of a novel.
Wait a minute, this looks like a novel.
So, it seems that such an existence isn't entirely impossible. After all, she's already transmigrated here.
But... "Mom, let me make it clear that I don't mean anything by this, but I still want to ask, did you do a paternity test after Zhirou came back? After all, so many years have passed."
"Of course there is. It was Zhirou who suggested the paternity test first. I still have that report, I can show it to you."
"good."
Ah, Ms. Su really trusts Shen Zhirou. But if one day I told Ms. Su that Shen Zhirou had harmed me and even almost killed me, would she believe me? Never mind, I should look for evidence first.
"!?!" Su Yang, who was pulling out a drawer, suddenly stopped.
What is Yan Yan saying? Zhi Rou almost killed her?
If Yan Yan had said this, she probably wouldn't have believed it.
But can a person's heartfelt words really lie?
