"Impossible! How could this be?" Xu Yingxue, who was huddled in the corner holding her youngest son, screamed in shock upon hearing this. Her eyes were filled with hatred. "She is the daughter of the Lan family. It must be a member of the Lan family. In order to get someone to help them escape punishment, they helped that bitch Lan Yao and made her make up lies in the newspaper."
Xu Yingxue, holding her youngest son, suddenly stood up and angrily said, "I don't believe it! You can't fool me! You're all lying! How could she possibly be like this!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this be?" Xu Yingxue didn't believe it, thinking it was all fake.
Lan Jiaojiao chimed in, "That's right, don't believe Lan Yao's fabrications. Lan Yao is the Lan family's biological daughter. How could the Lan family not process Lan Yao's household registration transfer?"
Lan Jiaojiao didn't believe the nonsense in the newspaper; she thought Lan Yao was just pretending to be pitiful and telling lies.
Lan Lijuan spat, "Why didn't Lan Yao transfer her household registration back then? You still have the nerve to bring it up? Wasn't it you who persuaded your father not to let it be done? Saying things like Lan Yao had just come to our family and might not have forgotten her grandfather or something, and that we should talk about it next year?"
Lan Lijuan was present at the time and heard Lan Jiaojiao say this with her own ears.
It's ironic now that I think about it.
Lan Jiaojiao seemed to remember as well, but she stubbornly said, "What does this have to do with me? I was just saying. Besides, who knows if the Lan family will really refuse to do it for her? I don't believe it."
"Why wouldn't you believe it? The Lan family loves you so much. They'd give you the stars if you wanted them. Back then, it was just a matter of what you said, how could the Lan family not listen? Besides, you were wronged at the time."
After saying this, Lan Lijuan looked at Xu Yingxue with a mocking expression.
"Now it's confirmed, Lan Jiaojiao is the real member of the Lan family, while the Lan Yao family will always be outsiders. Otherwise, how could you have raised such an ungrateful wretch, a jinx?"
Xu Yingxue trembled as she said, "You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly do that? You're making it up, you must be making it up to deceive me."
Those present scoffed at her words. Someone shoved a newspaper in front of her, pointing to the photos and reports, and said coldly, "Look closely! In the photos, Lan Yao is emaciated, her eyes are numb, and her clothes are tattered. Hospital examination results prove that she suffered from overwork and malnutrition, and her whole body is covered in injuries, especially a severe head injury and a concussion. It's a miracle she survived!"
The report also explained why Lan Yao came to Shanghai: her grandfather had just passed away, and her neighbors wanted to sell her to an old butcher in the mountains for money. In despair, the Lan family suddenly appeared, claiming kinship, and took her away. However, this became her nightmare. Lan Yao recalled that in the Lan family, she was treated as an intruder who had stolen someone else's place, and suffered endless humiliation and abuse.
Later, the Lan family asked someone to inquire with Xu Yingxue's best friend, who then proudly told the person that Xu Yingxue was lying.
She said that on purpose to get back at Xu Yingxue, but she didn't expect that idiot Xu Yingxue would actually fall for it.
But the matter had already blown up, and the Lan family had no choice but to find someone at random in order to save face. That person was Lan Yao.
To make Lan Yao, this poor soul, bear everything that doesn't belong to her. How could her biological parents stand by and watch everyone around them treat her so cruelly?
Are they even human? Don't they have hearts? Especially the mothers who carried their children for ten months and gave birth to them with their own flesh and blood.
The report also detailed how they treated Lan Jiaojiao: they doted on her immensely, treating her like a precious gem, afraid she would melt in their mouths or be too hot in their hands.
Even after Lan Yao was found, in order to prevent Lan Jiao Jiao from feeling wronged, he doted on her even more, fearing that she might suffer because of Lan Yao.
With this comparison, isn't it obvious who the biological mother is? It's just a pity for little Lan Yao.
Upon hearing this, the reporter's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Those are definitely not your parents, otherwise, your own children couldn't have done such a cruel thing. You were able to survive in that kind of environment, and your future will surely be even brighter."
Xu Yingxue was forced to skim the entire newspaper. Her eyes trembled, and her expression was full of doubt: "Impossible! Impossible! Lan Yao is lying, lying! She is my biological daughter, she is my biological daughter! I only, I only treated her that way because she came from the countryside, otherwise how could I bear to, how could I bear to..."
Her voice trailed off, seemingly hurt by the blunt words in the newspaper. How could she be the kind of person who would coldly watch others abuse their own daughter? She was so kind and full of love for life!
Yes! She's not that kind of person; Lan Yao is the liar.
Yes! Lan Yao is the liar. It must be her. She must be the one who wants to ruin her reputation and make herself look like a villain.
Coming to her senses, Lan Jiaojiao gripped the railing tightly and shouted hoarsely, "Impossible! Lan Yao is lying, she's lying! She's the real Lan family's daughter, I was switched at birth. I don't look like any of the Lan family members, many people say so, look closely."
Lan Jiaojiao panicked. What if Lan Yaozhen wasn't the real daughter of the Lan family, but she was? Wouldn't she have to be sent to the countryside with the Lan family?
She absolutely did not want to be sent down to the countryside! She had heard all too well how miserable the lives of those who were labeled as capitalists and sent down to the countryside were.
Furthermore, what's wrong with those idiots in the Lan family? Why wasn't Lan Yao's household registration transferred over back then?
If Lan Yao's household registration had been transferred over back then, even if it meant severing ties... perhaps she could have shamelessly dragged Lan Yao into it.
Anyway, seeing Lan Yao get away from this trouble so easily made Lan Jiaojiao extremely unhappy.
Moreover, she always felt that her life shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be!
Xu Yingxue's husband then stepped forward: "The Lan family has gone to great lengths to get Lan Yao to help them escape punishment. Anyway, I don't agree with this, and I'm going to report it."
Xu Yingxue's husband hates Lan Yao to death. He has become... he can't help but... he can't suppress the certain thought in his heart... Damn Lan Yao.
Faced with this situation, how could he, a man himself, not know what was going on?
He's become like this because of Lan Yao, and he absolutely cannot let Lan Yao go! He absolutely cannot.
With Qian Weiguo leading the way, the men from the Qian and Xu families also angrily joined in the shouting, saying that they could not let Lan Yao go.
The cell was suddenly bustling with noise, like a vegetable market, so noisy it gave everyone a headache!
The people at the scene all changed their expressions. Several men raised sticks and banged them hard on the railing, warning menacingly, "Shut up! You'll regret it if you keep making trouble."
