Cheng Yu tried hard to recall what happened at that time, his brows tightly furrowed.
"I didn't hear it clearly, but I just knew they wanted to give my sister some money to dispose of a child, and then they wanted my sister to kill the child..."
At the end, Cheng Yu's voice weakened guiltily, and he looked up at me cautiously, "So, you are the kid from back then?"
My fists at my side were already clenched tightly. The person behind this was truly vicious, casually deciding the life and death of a two-year-old child.
Thinking of the fear that flickered in Cheng Yu's eyes when he learned yesterday that I was the Lan family's adopted daughter, I sneered and asked him, "So that's why you were so surprised to see me. You didn't expect me to be alive, did you?"
Cheng Yu nodded, then shook his head and looked at me pleadingly: "I know you must hate my sister, but she didn't want you to die. She's not that cruel. She probably agreed to that person as a temporary measure..."
"I know." I responded, "So she didn't kill me, but sent me to the Lan family?"
Cheng Yu lowered his head and continued to explain to me, "My sister and your adoptive mother, Song Yue, were good friends. Song Yue was the only person my sister could trust. She knew she didn't have much time left, so she took you to Song Yue. She lied, making up a story about you being her illegitimate daughter, and begged the Lan couple to take care of you for her. Seeing that my sister was ill and dying, the Lan couple kindly adopted you."
Cheng Yu's words made me feel a little relieved.
Fortunately, Lan’s parents were unaware of the situation and were kept in the dark.
It is also because of this that they never looked for my biological parents for me.
I asked Cheng Yu: "Do you know who is the person who ordered your sister to do this?"
Cheng Yu frowned and thought for a moment: "I just overheard their phone call. I don't know their specific name, but I heard my sister call her 'Miss Cai'."
Miss Cai? Cai Ya!
The anger in my heart suddenly rose. It was really her!
Not only does she want me to leave the Tang family, she even wants me to die!
Cheng Yu said tremblingly, "I've told you everything I know. This happened over 20 years ago, and my sister kept us in the dark about it. We had no idea how they were doing the deal."
Cheng Yu is afraid that if we investigate what happened back then, he will be implicated.
The Cheng family divided up Cheng Xi's inheritance, but Cheng Xi had no savings, only the "stolen money" that Cai Ya gave her.
Once the truth is revealed about Cheng Xi being bribed to take me away, all the farmers' supermarkets like Cheng Yu will have to close down.
Cheng Yu asked us anxiously, "I'm not lying. I'm telling the truth. What my sister did has nothing to do with us. Can you please leave here? I only have this one son. If anyone dares to touch him, I will definitely fight him to the death!"
When talking about his son, Cheng Yu's attitude became tough and he warned us in return.
When he cleared himself of responsibility, he did so cleanly, but when he divided up Cheng Xi's property, he did not take a single cent less.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at him coldly and suddenly asked, "Do you know why your sister became ill?"
Cheng Yu glanced at Lu Zhiyuan impatiently and said disdainfully, "How would I know how she got sick? She went out to work a long time ago. She would do anything to make money. It's normal for her to get any disease. It's her fault for not knowing how to love herself."
Such derogatory words actually came from the mouth of Cheng Yu, his own brother.
The anger in my heart grew even stronger.
