Chapter 96 The Canary in the Cage
Zhang Mo had originally thought that the seemingly frail woman in front of him would be provoked to a rather intense reaction by those words.
As a result, "Liu Ruyan" just stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly said, "I know you, you are President Zhang. I saw you in the live broadcast between Han... Zhang Chenxiao and her biological father."
You are very brave.
No wonder she found this stranger pleasing to the eye at first glance; it turned out she had seen him in a live stream before.
However, Zhang Mo had not expected her reaction.
Zhang Mo didn't react for a moment, blinked blankly for a moment, and then said, "Thank you."
To be honest, she hears a lot of compliments about her beauty and intelligence, but very few compliments about her courage.
"Since you know who I am, let's talk," Zhang Mo said. "I can solve even Xiao Xiao's incredible situation, so what's a little more trouble for you?"
Liu Ruyan immediately tensed up, looking around anxiously, and said in a low voice, "You'll be in danger if you do this."
Zhang Mo pointed in a certain direction: "You mean those two who were keeping watch, right?"
Following the direction she pointed, Liu Ruyan saw two teenagers, around seventeen or eighteen years old, standing in front of the two burly men who had been watching her.
The boy said something, and one of the burly men immediately pulled out his phone, glanced at it, and then ran away as if he'd seen a ghost.
Another man, who had been about to attack, was kicked in the shin by the girl. The burly man immediately collapsed, clutching his leg and wearing a pain mask. Then, the girl grabbed him by the back of the collar, and together with the boy, they disappeared from their sight.
Zhang Mo shrugged: "It doesn't look that dangerous."
Liu Ruyan: "......"
"You carried a baby for ten months and went through so much pain to give birth to twins, one of whom died at the age of eleven. Now, the other one is calling another woman 'Mom' in order to help his biological father defraud people of money. Are you really willing to accept this?"
"Ten months of pregnancy." Liu Ruyan gave a bitter smile, stroking her incredibly slender waist, and said, "To be honest, I don't remember how painful it was back then."
All I remember is that, right after I woke up from the anesthesia, Xiang Sinian told me that, to prevent me from gaining weight after childbirth, he had two of my ribs removed during the surgery. He called it a "one-and-done solution."
Zhang Mo: "??????"
The depravity of these beasts truly opened her eyes every time!
Cesarean section plus rib removal?
Xiang Sinian really isn't afraid that she'll die on the operating table!
That year, she was only 15 years old!
Then, "Liu Ruyan" told Zhang Mo the story from back then—
It's actually very simple, even "common".
A poor junior high school girl was "lucky" enough to be noticed by a wealthy businessman who donated money to her.
What was supposed to be a "meal" turned into a nightmare that lasted all night.
Her family advised her to give up, since she wouldn't earn that much money from studying anyway, and she might as well work for a boss and live a life of luxury now.
The caged canary didn't succumb from day one, but ultimately couldn't escape its fate of never being able to fly away...
Fortunately, Xiang Sinian "seemed" to love her very much. He gave his family a lot of money and bought her many beautiful clothes that she had never dared to dream of before.
He often complained to her about how bad the woman in his family was—strong-willed, old, and not gentle at all—and how much better he was.
Not long after, she became pregnant, and coincidentally, the other woman also became pregnant.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Sinian flew into a rage: "I just asked her to check the gender, but she refused, saying that since we're only having one child, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl!"
That's bullshit! How can those be the same?
Why should she only have one child?! Why should she get to decide how many children she has?!
I bribed the doctor, and he has already told me that this baby is a girl!
A daughter! A daughter who takes her surname! A daughter who will look exactly like her in the future!!!
And what about me? What am I?!
"I just want a son to inherit the family money, am I wrong?!"
At that moment, having already been diagnosed with twin sons, she had no idea what fate awaited her.
She was told after giving birth that she had lost two ribs. She also lost one of her babies.
That child was switched by Xiang Sinian and sent to Dong Shuchen's side.
He was raised by Dong Shuchen like her own son until he was 11 years old, until his accidental death.
That's Dong Lang over there.
Dong Shuchen's daughter, who might become exactly like Dong Shuchen in the future, was also sent away by her biological father, who loathed her, on the third day after her birth.
To this day, no one knows where that girl is now.
Even more tragically, her only remaining son has now been sent by Xiang Sinian to live with Dong Shuchen. This is all to coax the emotionally distraught Dong Shuchen back to manage the now chaotic company and make money for the father and son.
As the younger of the twins, he was always jealous of his deceased older brother, even saying that if he had been sent there, he would not have died so young.
Liu Ruyan's tears streamed down her face: "I'm sorry, I really wanted to stop all of this, but there was nothing I could do..."
I'm sorry, Mr. Dong. I couldn't raise my son well, and I couldn't fight against Xiang Sinian.
Especially that innocent baby girl, I still don't know if she's alive or dead.
Perhaps she is also desperately searching for her parents, but no matter how hard she searches, she can't find them...
Zhang Mo: "......"
Although she had already guessed the general idea, she was still deeply shocked when she heard the person involved recount the whole story.
Especially when the baby girl was mentioned.
The baby girl, 17 years old, was given away just days after birth and has never been able to find her parents...
Zhang Mo: "Hiss... Don't cry yet. If we're lucky, I think I know where that girl is right now."
