The living, breathing girl before him overlapped with the gentle-looking woman in his memory, and merged with the tiny infant in his imagination.
She is Liu Yun's daughter.
Zheng Feng's hands trembled violently as he looked at the face before him, which was exactly the same as the one in his memory, and tears streamed down his face.
He opened his mouth, but it felt like there was a piece of red-hot coal stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
After a long silence, he finally found his voice, which was hoarse beyond recognition. "Now, can you tell me how your mother passed away?"
“She…” Wei Juan gave a bitter laugh, her eyes bloodshot, “was poisoned to death by that bastard Wei Zhentian.”
"What?!" Zheng Feng's eyes widened in shock, his voice filled with agitation. "How could this happen?! Wasn't Wei Zhentian her lover? Why would he poison her?!"
"What exactly happened all these years?!" Zheng Feng's voice trembled with excitement. "Child, tell me everything."
“When I was little, my mother was still alive, and our family was indeed very happy.” Wei Juan’s voice was calm, so calm that it was heartbreaking. “But not long after, her health deteriorated day by day, and in the end… she died of illness. At first, I thought it was because my mother was not in good health, and I didn’t think too much about it.”
Zheng Feng's heart was clenched so hard that he could barely breathe.
Wei Juan lowered her eyes and continued, "Not long after my mother died, Wei Zhentian brought another woman into the house, along with a daughter named Wei Lili."
She paused, raised her head, and looked directly into Zheng Feng's eyes: "Wei Lili is older than me. This means that he was already having an affair when my mother was pregnant with me."
"You beast!" Zheng Feng slammed his fist on the table, making the apples on it jump. His chest heaved violently, and his eyes burned with rage.
Liu Yun is so gentle and kind. Men who marry her cherish her like a precious jewel. Why did that bastard Wei Zhentian treat her like that?!
“They all treated me badly, they cursed at me, beat me, and treated me like a servant. I lived worse than a dog in that house.” Wei Juan finally couldn’t hold back her tears and they slid down her cheeks. “Wei Lili even… even pushed me into the lake, trying to drown me. If it weren’t for Sister Wantang saving me, I would have been dead long ago.”
Comrade Su...
Zheng Feng was filled with gratitude.
"Wei Lili is breaking the law! She did such a heinous thing, didn't Wei Zhentian teach her a lesson?" Zheng Feng asked urgently.
Wei Juan's face was pale, and she shook her head with a bitter smile. "Wei Zhentian only has eyes for his one daughter. He only listens to Wei Lili's words. He even broke my leg because of Wei Lili's instigation! He locked me in the room for three days and three nights without food or water, and I almost starved to death."
"If it weren't for Sister Wantang paying for my hospital treatment, my leg would be ruined by now."
Those days were like a nightmare; they are still vivid in my memory.
“What…” Zheng Feng clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. “Bastard… Wei Zhentian, that bastard! You are also his daughter, how can you be so biased?”
“Because I am not his biological daughter at all.” Wei Juan stared intently at Zheng Feng and said each word clearly.
"Wh-what?!" Zheng Feng's mind went blank from the shock.
“When I was locked in the dark room, Wei Lili told me that my mother was poisoned by Wei Zhentian. I learned that Wei Zhentian was the murderer of my mother. I no longer needed to be lenient with Wei Zhentian. I used the voice recorder that my sister Su Wantang gave me to record and collect evidence.”
