Xiao Yu was huddled in a small, broken bed, dirty all over, and had been hungry for three days and three nights.
She couldn't help sobbing slightly, but she felt dizzy as she cried.
"Mom, I miss you so much..." At this time, she remembered Jiang Ranran's kindness to her. Duan Meimei, who used to be like an angel, now looked like a devil.
When Xiaoyu was in despair, Duan Meimei walked into the room, staring at her with a pair of cold eyes.
"Auntie, auntie, please give me something to eat." Xiao Yu tried hard to crawl towards Duan Meimei, and his pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.
Duan Meimei took out a moldy bread from behind her back and threw it to Xiaoyu with a snap.
"Eat, don't starve to death, you are still useful to me." Duan Meimei glared at Xiao Yu viciously.
Xiao Yu grabbed the bread and was about to eat it, but she found that the bread was already moldy. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie, the bread is bad."
"It's just this thing. Eat it if you want or not. If you don't eat it, you'll starve to death." Duan Meimei answered mercilessly.
Xiao Yu hesitated again, but her stomach started to growl. She had no choice but to bite the bread with tears in her eyes. She was so hungry that she couldn't stop after the first bite and started to wolf down the bread.
Duan Meimei sneered sarcastically, "Huh, doesn't this taste delicious?"
Xiao Yu didn't care about anything else and didn't stop until he finished every last bite of bread. He even picked up the crumbs on the bed reluctantly.
"Look at how poor you are! You have to thank me. If it weren't for me, you would never have eaten moldy bread in your life. You can't even imagine how comfortable you are with Jiang Ranran." Duan Meimei got angry when she thought of this, and her eyes became more vicious.
Xiao Yu was full and had strength. She timidly approached Duan Meimei, gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and pleaded tremblingly, "Auntie, please, let me go and take me to find my mother."
At this time, the only mother she missed was Jiang Ranran.
Duan Meimei sneered sarcastically, "Let you go? Dream on! But you will meet Jiang Ranran, I will take you to see her."
"Really?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Duan Meimei with tears in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Duan Meimei became even more angry and kicked Xiao Yu away, "Don't look at me like that! What good is she, you lowly girl? She's not your biological mother! I am your biological mother!"
Xiao Yu was kicked in pain and started to cry. Duan Meimei rushed over and slapped her three times, which stunned Xiao Yu. "Cry again! I'll strangle you to death!"
This frightened Xiao Yu so much that she was stunned. She stared at Duan Meimei stupidly, not daring to say a word.
Ever since Xiaoyu left, Jiang Ranran had been thinking about her day and night, until this day, she finally received a call from Duan Meimei.
"Jiang Ranran, Xiaoyu has been gone for so many days, and you didn't even take the initiative to ask about her situation. You are so cruel." Duan Meimei's voice on the phone was so sarcastic that Jiang Ranran couldn't help but frown.
Where could she find Duan Meimei's phone number? If she had her contact information, how could Jiang Ranran ignore Xiao Yu!
"I was just about to ask you, is Xiaoyu okay? Is she doing well? Have you given her three full meals and let her sleep well at night?" Jiang Ranran has been worried to death these days. Xiaoyu must have a stuffed toy when she sleeps at night!
She didn't know whether Duan Meimei had thoughtfully prepared these things for Xiaoyu.
Just as Jiang Ranran finished speaking, a child's crying voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mom! Take me home, Mom!"
"Xiao Yu!" Jiang Ranran recognized that it was Xiao Yu's voice. She was crying and begging Jiang Ranran to take her away!
After crying, Jiang Ranran's heart seemed to be shattered into powder!
"Duan Meimei! What did you do to Xiaoyu? What did you do to Xiaoyu!" Jiang Ranran could no longer remain calm. She guessed that Duan Meimei must have abused Xiaoyu, otherwise why would she cry so sadly?
Duan Meimei smacked her lips sarcastically and shouted, "Shut up, you bastard!"
After this shout, Xiao Yu fell silent. It seemed that she had been controlled by Duan Meimei these days and dared not say a word.
"What's the matter, Jiang Ranran, are you feeling sad? Hahaha, you must be feeling very uncomfortable, right?" Duan Meimei smiled morbidly at Jiang Ranran.
Jiang Ranran frowned tightly, wishing she could reach the phone line and pick up Xiaoyu right now!
"Duan Meimei, are you crazy? She is your biological daughter!" Jiang Ranran couldn't believe that there was such a cruel mother like Duan Meimei in the world!
"Bullshit! She's a bastard, a bastard!" Duan Meimei shouted hoarsely, her voice sounding like it came from hell.
Jiang Ranran tried hard to calm down. What she had to do now was not to quarrel with Duan Meimei, but to rescue Xiao Yu.
She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her anger. "Duan Meimei, if you can't take good care of Xiaoyu, or if you don't like her, just return her to me and I will take care of her."
"Okay, that's what I was thinking of doing." Duan Meimei agreed surprisingly readily.
Jiang Ranran was overjoyed. "Okay, then tell me, where should I go to pick up Xiaoyu?"
"But I have a condition." Duan Meimei immediately poured a basin of cold water on Jiang Ranran.
Jiang Ranran knew that Duan Meimei was not that easy to deal with, and there must be conditions.
With a cold face, she asked, "What are the conditions? Tell me."
"Give me 50 million and you take the child away." Duan Meimei opened her mouth loudly, and the first thing she said was an astronomical figure.
Jiang Ranran was so angry that she laughed, "Fifty million, Duan Meimei, you really dare to ask for it, you are blackmailing me!"
"How could that be? Don't forget, Xiaoyu is my daughter. She was placed in your orphanage when I was in prison. You willingly adopted her as your daughter. Now that I'm out of prison, her custody is mine!" Duan Meimei had already analyzed the feasibility of this matter and was just waiting to blackmail Jiang Ranran.
"Are you crazy about money? You are using your own daughter's happiness to blackmail me?" Jiang Ranran was so angry that her teeth were itching.
Duan Meimei sneered, "I'm just crazy about money. Do you know how hard it is for someone with a criminal record to survive in this society? Even if I'm selling meat, people still look down on me because I've been in jail!"
As Duan Meimei spoke, her voice became more vicious. Her mental state really made Jiang Ranran worry about Xiao Yu's safety.
Jiang Ranran gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Tell me where you are and I'll come right over."
"You agreed? Give me 50 million?" Duan Meimei's voice immediately became excited.
"I promise! As long as you don't hurt Xiaoyu, I will agree to it!" Jiang Ranran clenched his fists tightly and said with gritted teeth.
