Qin Yi's tone was flat and even, without any fluctuation; she was simply stating the facts calmly.
For 17 years, a full 17 years, when has Qin Yi ever spoken to her in such a tone?
Tang Zhiyi's expression changed, her smile froze on her lips, and she looked like she was crying.
"After they sent me abroad overnight, I changed my phone number and phone number. Mom, you know I can never remember Dad's and brothers' phone numbers. There must be some misunderstanding. How could they possibly block me?"
Tang Zhiyi gave an awkward laugh. Only she knew that Qin Yi was telling the truth.
When she couldn't find anyone in the apartment building, Tang Zhiyi called several people one by one, calling almost everyone except Meng Zhiyao.
At first, she thought she had run out of phone credit, but her phone was still working fine. Then she thought her phone was broken, so she gave the current owner 100 yuan, and then his phone made a call.
This time, the call connected quickly, but Meng Boqun and Meng Zhiyuan hung up immediately upon hearing her voice. Although Meng Zhili and Meng Zhilian could get through, no one answered.
She then realized that she had been blocked.
She refused to believe it, so she kept calling the other party, only to be blocked soon after.
In the end, the other party couldn't stand it anymore and simply snatched the phone back.
As for the address, it was a neighbor she had met once before who told her how she found this place.
"Mom, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm your daughter, the daughter you've raised for 17 years. How can you just abandon me? If... if even you don't want me, I might as well die!"
"Then go die!" Tang Zhiyi had barely finished speaking when Meng Boqun's voice rang out from behind Qin Yi before Qin Yi could say anything.
Tang Zhiyi turned around abruptly and saw Meng Boqun carrying groceries, with Meng Wan standing beside him.
"dad!"
"No, I'm not worthy to be your father. Your father is Tang Sheng, the president of the Tang Group. Also, I do have a daughter named Meng Wan, who is standing right next to me right now! I don't know any of the other monsters and demons."
Meng Boqun's words were blunt, and there was sarcasm in every word.
"Dad, I'm the daughter you've raised for 17 years!"
"Yes, 17 years! You know it's been 17 years! No matter how hard or tiring it was for me, Meng Boqun, I never missed a single meal for you. And you, on the other hand, were always eyeing what you had while also wanting what you didn't. I can honestly say that I haven't wronged you in the slightest, but what about you? Do you really think I don't know why Zhiyao has become like this?!"
Tang Zhiyi's pupils contracted, seemingly surprised that they even knew about this.
She turned her gaze to Meng Wan, pointing her finger at her, "Was it Meng Wan who said that? Dad, she's lying to you, she's framing me!"
"Enough! You've committed countless evils, yet you show no remorse." Meng Boqun shielded Meng Wan behind him, his patience running out.
"Qin Yi, call the community security guards over and kick them out."
"Okay! Okay! Come in quickly." Qin Yi nodded and opened the door to let them in.
Tang Zhiyi disregarded everything else and tried to follow, but Meng Boqun shoved her away. He didn't hold back at all, and coupled with the fact that Tang Zhiyi's body was already depleted by marijuana, she was knocked to the ground.
She gasped, noticing a small scrape on her palm.
"Dad, I'm bleeding! Mom, look, I'm bleeding, it hurts..." Tang Zhiyi's tears rolled down her cheeks as she showed them her scraped palms.
In the past, the two of them would have rushed over and comforted her with heartache, but now, they just stood there indifferently closing the door, not even glancing at her.
"Meng Wan! It's all your fault! What kind of spell did you cast on them? That's my home, my parents, my brother! Who do you think you are? I... I've become like this all because of you, all because of you!"
Just as Qin Yi and Meng Boqun were about to speak, Meng Wan shook her head at them. She pulled back the leg that was about to step into the house, closed the door, and walked towards Tang Zhiyi.
"Wanwan went out alone, is she alright?"
“Wanwan must have her reasons for doing this. We just need to trust her.” Meng Boqun patted her on the shoulder.
“I bought a lot of Wanwan’s favorite dishes. She’s been wronged these past few days, so let’s cook something nice to reward her.”
Qin Yi nodded and walked towards the kitchen with a worried look on her face. Suddenly, she stopped, turned around, and grabbed Meng Boqun's hand.
"By the way, when did you meet Wanwan? I didn't disappoint Wanwan with my performance today, did I?" Qin Yi was still holding a grudge about disappointing Meng Wan before.
Meng Boqun smiled and ruffled her hair. They had been married for decades, and their relationship remained stable and sweet.
"Don't worry, although Wanwan was already in the corner when I got back, her expression was normal. We heard everything you said after that, so there's absolutely no problem! Honestly, I never thought you could be so heartless as to say those things."
Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and patted Meng Boqun's chest.
"If I were to forget what I've learned from my mistakes, then I would have wasted most of my life."
Meng Boqun bent down and kissed Qin Yi. "Let's go, let's make something nice for the child."
"By the way, give Zhiyuan and the others a call. Tell them about this today to get a heads-up, and ask them to come back tonight to discuss things."
Qin Yi nodded, and the two divided the work: one made a phone call, and the other started washing vegetables. It was quite harmonious.
The two parents trusted Meng Wan completely. Furthermore, Tang Zhiyi wasn't carrying any dangerous items, and they had already called security. Since Meng Wan wanted to handle it herself, they, as parents, would let their child do it.
Outside, the two faced each other across a door.
"Meng Wan!" Tang Zhiyi's tone was full of resentment.
"Tang Zhiyi, you're really going crazy, causing trouble for others." Meng Wan looked at Tang Zhiyi's disheveled state and felt a strange sense of admiration for her.
Having done so much, he never looks for the reasons within himself, but instead keeps blaming others. He truly embodies the saying, "If you can blame others, don't blame yourself."
"It's you! What did you say to my parents?!" Tang Zhiyi grabbed the iron gate and shook it loudly.
"Tang Zhiyi, is it because of drug use that you've gone crazy, or do you have the ability to erase memories?" Meng Wan remained much calmer in the face of Tang Zhiyi's madness.
"You were the one who found the Tang family, you were the one who left the Meng family saying you would never see them again, you were the bully, you were the one who spread rumors... Every step you took was one you walked step by step."
Tang Zhiyi choked, "No, it's you. If it weren't for you, the Tang family and the Meng family would both be mine!"
"A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant." Meng Wan shook her head as she looked at her, knowing she was beyond saving.
She waved her phone. "I've already called the police. I've also collected evidence and sent it to them regarding your efforts to find connections in China. Good luck."
Tang Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean! What do you mean!"
"It means, I'm sending you to jail so you can stop bouncing around in front of me like a fly, so annoying. Aren't you afraid of ending up on the streets? Congratulations, you've got a single room, with room and board included."
