Zhang Shaofang continued to defend herself, saying, "My dear sister, it's not what you think. Now that things have come to this, the child in Tingting's belly is yours. You have to acknowledge it even if you don't want to. We have the marriage certificate as proof, so you can't deny it."
At this time, Wang Xiaolan came to Zhang's house and happened to hear what Zhang Shaofang said.
She took over and said, "Why can't you deny it?" Then she took out a photo from her pocket and waved it in front of her.
"Look carefully, this is the evidence. The newspaper also reported that she and Lantian were living together. Didn't you see it?"
She said angrily, "Humph! Look at what this is!" Then, he swung his arm and fiercely threw the photo he was holding tightly in his hand. The photo seemed to be given life, arcing through the air and landing on the cold ground.
"You, take a good look!"
Zhang Shaofang picked it up from the ground, took a look, and said in disbelief: "That's not true, it's a fabrication..."
Wang Xiaolan ignored her sophistry and walked straight into the living room. Zhang Fan saw Wang Xiaolan and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Don't thank me, I'm just explaining the truth. You're a smart person, how could you be so confused about your marriage? You should be thankful that you didn't touch her. It's a blessing in disguise!"
Zhang Shaofang looked at the photo with trembling hands. When she saw clearly that her daughter was rolling and struggling with an old man in the bed, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. Her face turned pale in an instant and her lips began to tremble.
“No… Impossible!”
She opened her eyes wide and muttered to herself in disbelief, "There is no way my daughter would get involved with such a person! This must be a frame-up!" Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes, blurring her vision.
"How could my sweet, sensible, and beautiful daughter do such a shameless thing? And with a man around her father's age! Even if it was given to me, I wouldn't want it! And she's my daughter, so I can't do it! There must be something fishy going on here. Someone is deliberately framing her!"
Zhang Shaofang yelled hysterically, his voice becoming sharp and piercing with anger.
Then, she seemed to have gone crazy, tearing the photo in her hand frantically, crumpling it into balls again and again, until it finally became a pile of broken paper scraps scattered on the ground.
Wang Xiaolan squinted her eyes at the fragments scattered on the ground, then quickly glanced at Zhang Shaofang, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold and sarcastic smile.
"Hmph, even if you tear it to pieces, what's the use? This is an ironclad fact that cannot be changed! In the face of such an indisputable fact, no matter how eloquent your words are, it will be futile."
"Let me be frank with you. This photo isn't just in our possession; the National Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau also have it. And most importantly, the negative has always been firmly in their hands. No matter how frantically you try to destroy this surface evidence, you can't do anything about the negative!"
"You should know that in a serious case like this, according to the law, your daughter could very well be sentenced to death! So, I kindly advise you to go home and seriously study the relevant provisions of our country's criminal law! Continuing to cause trouble here is a sheer waste of time and energy, and won't achieve anything."
After hearing those words, Zhang Shaofang felt as if struck by lightning. His body trembled violently, and his legs instantly lost their strength and bent down limply. Then he collapsed straight onto the cold, hard ground with a "thump".
Her face, which had been relatively calm, was now distorted by extreme fear and helplessness. Her face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. Large beads of sweat slid down her cheeks.
She widened her eyes, her gaze fixed on Chen Juan beside her, her eyes full of despair and pleading, expecting the other party to lend a helping hand.
Chen Juan, standing nearby, was also stunned and terrified by Wang Xiaolan's words. Her already uneasy heart felt as if it were being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible to breathe.
At this moment, she was glad that her son was not involved in this matter, otherwise her family would be finished. Not only that, she might even be kicked out of the house by Old Zhang.
When she thought of this and looked at the pitiful Zhang Shaofang, although she couldn't bear it, she was powerless to do anything.
She subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but there was a stone stuck in her throat, and no sound came out. She swallowed hard, her Adam's apple rolling up and down a few times, but the words on her lips were finally swallowed back into her stomach.
At this time, Zhang Xiaolian came out from the inner room and said, "Sister-in-law, you are finally here."
Wang Xiaolan said, "As soon as I received your call, I rushed here from the hospital. How is the old man?"
Zhang Xiaolian said, "I took the medicine you left me, and I feel much better now."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Quick, let me go see the old man."
As they were talking, the two of them came to the bedroom. The old man was lying on the bed resting. When he heard that it was Wang Xiaolan, he immediately opened his eyes and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Kid, you're here. I'm fine. I was just a little angry."
Zhang Xiaolian said angrily, "Sister-in-law, you don't know. Dad was like that just now. I was so scared that I had no choice but to call you."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Xiao Lian, you did the right thing. After all, Dad's health is not good." Then she said, "Dad, you are so old now. There are some things that you should not care about. Getting angry will only hurt your body, not others."
Mr. Zhang said, "How can I not be angry when something like this happens?"
Zhang Xiaolian said helplessly, "My mom, who got kicked by a donkey, can't tell right from wrong and even speaks for an outsider. Not only is Dad angry, but I'm also furious."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Dad, Zhang Fan is a grown man. You have to trust him. He will handle it. If you get hurt, who will be responsible for you? It's still you."
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "It's not that I don't trust Fanfan, this kid just listens to his mother too much!"
Wang Xiaolan said: "After this incident, I think Zhang Fan will be more cautious in the future."
Old Master Zhang said, "I hope so! Son, I won't get involved in their affairs. The college entrance exam is only a few days away. I'm much better now. Go back and study hard! Don't worry about me."
Wang Xiaolan packed up the medicine box and said, "I checked it, there's no major problem. Just take the medicine on time."
