The idea only lingered in Lan Yao's mind for a few seconds before she made up her mind: she was going to find her so-called biological mother.
She hasn't severed ties with her so-called biological mother yet.
The Xu and Qian families haven't taken their money yet.
After divorcing Lan Xingcheng, Lan Yao's biological mother, Xu Yingxue, decisively married into the Qian family, which was on par with the Lan family.
After marrying Qian Weiguo, the second son of the Qian family, Xu Yingxue gave birth to several boys in succession. Her sons were well-behaved and sensible, and her husband and family loved her dearly. She lived a prosperous life and was finally able to vent her anger at the Lan family. She could finally stand up straight again.
Although Xu Yingxue didn't particularly like the Lan family, she was especially kind to Lan Jiaojiao, her only daughter, and would grant her every request.
Because of Xu Yingxue, the Qian family also extended their affection to Lan Jiaojiao.
Lan Jiaojiao can be described as a pampered young lady who grew up under the love of three families.
Therefore, after learning that Lan Jiaojiao was not her real daughter, and that her real daughter had been deliberately switched by her best friend and abandoned on the roadside, Xu Yingxue was devastated.
She never believed it, and refused to believe it.
So when the Lan family patriarch wanted to bring Lan Yao back, she neither objected nor agreed.
Especially after seeing Lan Yao who had been found, Xu Yingxue didn't even bother to look at her, refusing to acknowledge that Lan Yao was her daughter. She also doted on Lan Jiaojiao even more, feeling that God was unfair. Why wasn't Lan Jiaojiao her biological daughter? Why did God have to let her know that Lan Jiaojiao wasn't her biological daughter?
Therefore, Xu Yingxue became even more reserved towards Lan Jiaojiao. Because of her, the Qian and Xu families, who already felt sorry for Lan Jiaojiao, would always go to the Lan family together and bully Lan Yao with the younger generation of the Lan family.
If the parents of the Lan and Xu families don't care about their biological daughter, then the people below will only treat Lan Yao, their newly found true daughter, even more cruelly.
...
Lan Yao, wearing cloth shoes with toes showing, walked to the alley where the Qian family lived. Before she even stepped inside, a middle-aged woman who had just opened the door frowned when she saw Lan Yao: "Where did this beggar come from? Hurry up, hurry up."
Lan Yao smiled and said, "I'm not a beggar. I'm Xu Yingxue's biological daughter. I just severed ties with the Lan family and was kicked out. Today, I'll also sever ties with Xu Yingxue."
The middle-aged woman exclaimed in surprise. She had heard about the malicious switching and abandonment of Xu Yingxue's biological daughter.
This was the first time they had ever heard of someone swapping their own daughter with a wealthy family's portrait, so it left a deep impression on them.
Upon seeing Lan Yao's state, the middle-aged woman felt sorry for her and advised, "Listen to your aunt, you can't do anything reckless, especially things like severing ties with your family. Otherwise, how can you survive in this world? She's your mother, after all, and she has some money. It's not difficult for her to support you."
Lan Yao sighed, "Auntie, I had no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to survive."
Lan Yao showed her two arms to the middle-aged woman, and then pointed to her forehead, which had not yet scabbed over.
"These are all evidence of how they tortured me to death. I have even more... I really can't go on living like this. It's better to cut ties with my family than to live like this."
After Lan Yao finished speaking, without caring what the middle-aged woman thought, she limped to the front door of the Qian family and banged on it.
Upon seeing Lan Yao's state, the middle-aged woman hurriedly went to other houses, abandoning her grocery shopping plans, intending to invite the neighbors to go to the Qian family's house to gossip.
The Qian family was having breakfast when they heard the knock on the door, and their expressions turned sour.
The head of the Qian family said to his youngest daughter, "Go and take a look."
In today's tense society, families like theirs can no longer have as many servants to help them as they used to.
The head of the Qian family couldn't stand this kind of life anymore. He had recently heard a little bit of a rumor, but he didn't know if it was true.
Regardless of whether it's true or not, he's planning to take his whole family abroad to live soon.
He'll have his eldest son start preparing in the next couple of days.
A short while later, the younger daughter walked in with a hostile expression and said to Xu Yingxue, who was still feeding her younger son, "Second sister-in-law, your adopted daughter is here."
She finished speaking and was very angry: "That person who looks like a beggar said that she is waiting for you outside the door, and if you don't go, she will stay at our door and not leave."
Xu Yingxue gave an "oh" and said indifferently, "Then call a few of your nephews and have them help you call them out. If that doesn't work, we'll call the police."
The younger daughter said somewhat angrily, "Second sister-in-law, it's Lan Yao."
Xu Yingxue frowned, clearly not understanding why her sister-in-law was so angry: "Who is Lan Yao? Who cares about her? Tell her to get lost!"
"Oh dear! It's unbelievable that my own mother could say such a thing! Luckily, my heart has already been broken by you all, so I won't feel any more heartache, otherwise I might want to kill you."
Lan Yao strode in and saw a table full of people enjoying food she had never tasted before. Lan Yao was angry and extremely displeased. She hadn't even had any food to eat, and they had the nerve to eat? She spread her hands and overturned the table.
She moved incredibly fast; before anyone could react, the heavy wooden table was overturned, shattering bowls, chopsticks, and plates all over the floor with a constant clattering sound.
Moments later, screams and cries rose and fell.
Lan Yao watched the farce unfolding before her quietly, as if she were watching a spectacle.
Holding her youngest son, Xu Yingxue rushed angrily to Lan Yao, raising her hand to slap her.
Lan Yao had anticipated this, and slapped her twice before she could, asking as she did so, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? You want to hit someone? You think you're worthy to hit me?"
When Qian Weiguo saw his wife being beaten, he reacted angrily and rushed over, raising his fist at Lan Yao's face.
Lan Yao was annoyed by Qian Weiguo, that scumbag. Ever since she was found, this scumbag had been trying to sow discord between her and Lan Jiaojiao. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Lan Jiaojiao was his real daughter.
Now that he's asking for a beating, Lan Yao will naturally settle her score.
Lan Yao gently twisted Qian Weiguo's fist, causing him to let out a shrill scream. Still not satisfied, Lan Yao punched him twice in the stomach, then punched his gentle face several more times, knocking out two of Qian Weiguo's front teeth.
The head of the Qian family reacted quickly. When he saw that a hostile guest had come to beat up his son and daughter-in-law, could he just stand by and do nothing?
He immediately roared, "What are you all standing there for? She's just a girl, and we have so many men in our family, can't we afford to pay for her?"
Lan Yao grinned, tossed Qian Weiguo aside, and stretched her wrists: "Let's do some exercise before dinner then."
