Chapter 277 A Tragic Case of Maternal Love Being Ridiculed
Amei pulled her skirt up, revealing a crescent-shaped scar on her knee. Nan Chengyuan, who had been so aggressive just moments before, immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, losing all his energy and momentum.
Amei gave a mocking snort, her eyes filled with pity and disdain as she looked at Nan Chengyuan.
His gaze was as if he were looking at a pitiful wretch; Nan Chengyuan's eyes remained fixed on the scar on Amei's knee. The scar was located right in the center of her knee, a mark he had gotten when he and Nan Lan fell from a tree years ago. No one else would have such a scar; it was unique.
So when Ah Mei revealed this scar, Nam Seung-won had nothing left to say.
"Impossible! You can't be Lanlan. Lanlan died fifteen years ago!"
Nan Chengyuan looked at Amei with disdain, unwilling to believe that the person in front of him was his sister, but reality would not change just because he was unwilling to admit it.
"You can consider me dead! But I am standing right in front of you now!"
Amei lowered her skirt, walked to Grandma Nan's side, reached out and helped her sit on the sofa, while she stood obediently to the side.
"Mom, calm down. Don't get so angry that you hurt yourself. Otherwise, no one here will care about you!"
As he spoke, he looked at Nan Chengyuan and Nan Ze provocatively, with a gaze that seemed to thrive on chaos. Meeting that gaze, Nan Ze frowned and spoke with dissatisfaction.
"Auntie, you can't say that. My parents have always loved Grandma dearly, but you, on the other hand, have ignored her for so many years. Now that you're back, you're trying to sow discord between Grandma and my parents. Do you really think that's a good thing?"
Amei's eyes turned cold as she looked Nanze up and down, then let out a heavy snort.
"Is this how you talk to your elders?"
"That depends on whether the elder is worthy of respect. To put it bluntly, I think that even if an elder like my aunt speaks to you in this tone, it's already very polite!"
Nanze was never one to yield to others, and moreover, his Chinese was not very good to begin with. Now, because he was in a hurry and only focused on expressing his true meaning, what came out of his mouth was naturally not very pleasant to hear.
"Brother, is this how you raise your son?"
"Hmph, education? Isn't it all because of you? Aze was sent abroad by his mother when he was little! Now that he's talking rudely, he's starting to blame me? Well, I'm really sorry, I really haven't done a good job of educating him!"
Nan Chengyuan no longer cared about the sibling relationship they had shared in the past, because he discovered that the person in front of him was no longer the sister he remembered, who was a little proud and arrogant but kind-hearted. This woman in front of him was a mean and vindictive person!
Since that's the case, Nan Chengyuan felt that there was absolutely no need for him to dwell on those fond memories from the past!
"So you have no manners! Well then, I won't hold it against you for talking like that!"
Amei looked at Nanze and snorted heavily. Nanze was about to speak when Nan Chengyuan stopped him, staring at her with icy eyes.
"You are not Lanlan, Lanlan is definitely not someone like you!"
Nan Chengyuan was certain that the person in front of him was not Nan Lan. It was an intuition. Even if the face was somewhat similar, a person's temperament and feeling would not change. And this person in front of him... really had no manners at all!
"Not Lanlan? Whether you believe it or not, I am Nanlan now! If you don't believe me, you can get a DNA test!"
"There's no need! Even if this body belongs to Lanlan, I will not admit that you are Lanlan!"
Nan Chengyuan stared at Old Madam Nan, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.
"Mom, do you really think this person is Lanlan? You're our mother, can't you tell?"
How could she not sense it? It's just that Old Madam Nan was unwilling to admit it. If she didn't admit it, she would still have her daughter, but once she did, she would lose even that little bit of comfort.
Grandma Nan looked at Amei, who had a mocking smile on her lips, and then at her serious-looking son. Finally, she smiled helplessly and reached out her hand to Amei, who was standing there motionless.
"Lanlan, Mom knows it's you. No matter what you become, you will always be Mom's Lanlan!"
Amei glanced at Nan Chengyuan's family of three with a smug look on her face, and then reached out her hand to Old Mrs. Nan.
"Of course, in this world, only Mom loves Lanlan the most!"
But in her heart, she despised this old woman countless times. If she said it, then it was true. She really had no intelligence at all!
"Chengyuan, you can go now. Whether you admit it or not, Mom acknowledges that this is Mom's Lanlan!"
Grandma Nan held Amei's hand tightly, her words filled with helplessness and heartache.
"Mom is already eighty years old and doesn't have many years left to live! Fortunately, Mom saw Lanlan again before she died, so even when Mom dies, she can close her eyes in peace! You all go now, let this old woman fulfill her wish!"
"Mom, she's not my younger sister. Over the years, she's swindled so much money from you. Don't you know that? Given my younger sister's personality, how could she let you, at your age, give her so much money?"
"Chengyuan, go away! Even if he's a liar, I was willing to be fooled, okay? I'd do anything for Lanlan!"
"Brother, did you hear that? You should leave!"
Amei glanced at Nan Chengyuan smugly, her tone unconsciously becoming proud.
"You liar, I'm going to make sure you get out of the Nan family's house today!"
"Yes, so what if I'm a liar? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. You're right, I'm not Nan Lan, but so what? As long as Mom believes I am, then I am!"
Grandma Nan looked at Amei thoughtfully. Amei, sensing her gaze, seemed to realize she had said something wrong and immediately shut up and looked at her.
If at the beginning she could still deceive herself and choose to believe that this was her daughter, at this moment she could no longer believe it. She looked at Amei in disbelief.
"What did you say? You're not Lanlan? Then why have you been lying to me for so many years? If you're not Lanlan, why do you have birthmarks and scars that only Lanlan would have?"
"I...I..."
Even Amei was at a loss when she heard Old Madam Nan's questioning. She glared at Nan Chengyuan resentfully, but Old Madam Nan had no intention of stopping her questioning.
"Tell me, who are you? Why are you lying to me? If you're not Lanlan, then what have I done all these years? Huh? Tell me, tell me!"
Grandma Nan tugged at Amei's skirt, asking her questions relentlessly. Annoyed by the questions, Amei suddenly pulled Grandma Nan's hand away.
"Aren't you annoying, old woman! Do you think I want to be like Nan Lan, that weak person? Let me tell you, not only will I not be, but you'll never see her again!"
"What...what did you do to my little sister?"
"Her? She's long since hidden herself away and gone to sleep because of her weakness! From now on, there will only be me, Amei, and no more Nanlan!"
