Wang Yayun looked suspicious, while Fang Deshan was furious.
"Mom and Dad, I know you're both very busy with work and feel that Wanying hasn't fulfilled her responsibilities as an older sister, but she has two people to support now. How can you make her kneel here?"
"Back then, you entrusted her to me, repeatedly telling me to treat her well, but what have you, as her parents, done for her?"
Whenever the Xie family elders returned home, they would buy many things from the Fang family to visit Xie Wanying. He also gained a lot of benefits from their relationship. At least from the usual little things, the Xie family elders did not seem to be people who favored sons over daughters.
It's normal for parents and children to have some conflicts. Fang Deshan was calculating in his mind that if he could let the Xie family elders see his sincerity towards Xie Wanying at this time, they would only think more highly of him as their son-in-law once their anger subsided.
Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu had the same idea. The time they had spent together had made them able to understand each other's thoughts without even looking at each other.
Xie Mingzhu wore a polite smile as she calmly looked at Wang Yayun, praising her to the skies with her words.
“Although I come from the countryside and haven’t seen much of the world, I know that everyone says that there is an adversarial relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. But in your family, these two daughters-in-law are like your own daughters.”
Wang Yayun was still worried about Xie Wanying's unborn child, and she didn't want to lose face at this time. She snorted coldly and raised her head without even giving Xie Mingzhu a glance.
"Now that she's married into our family, she's my child. No matter what happens, I absolutely will not allow anyone to bully her, not even her own parents. I'm just that unreasonable; my child must never suffer any injustice!"
With red eyes, Xie Wanying looked as if she had finally found her family. She sobbed twice, and her gaze towards Wang Yayun became even more affectionate.
"mom…"
Her voice choked up for a moment and she couldn't speak.
Wang Yayun simply patted her shoulder with one hand to comfort her and put her mind at ease.
Shu Ying could no longer hide her smile. She felt that this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a perfect family, and they were both excellent actors in front of others.
"So, if that's the case, then no matter what mistakes Xie Wanying has made, your family is willing to accept her?"
Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu worked together, using reverse psychology.
Wang Yayun instinctively felt that something was wrong. It was as if these two people were setting a trap for her, leading her step by step into a pit of fire.
But the words had already been spoken, and many things could not be undone, especially under the watchful eyes of everyone. If she didn't assert herself further, she would be contradicting herself.
"Of course. No matter what happens, even if Wanying killed someone today, it's because I, as her mother-in-law, haven't been able to control her properly. Our family should bear all the blame. Why should you make her kneel?"
A commotion arose in the crowd. Wang Yayun noticed that the gazes of those around her had become inquisitive. She assumed it was just ordinary people's admiration for her, and her words became even more unrestrained.
"I'll just say it right now: Xie Wanying is my own daughter, and she will always be my family."
Fang Deshan's eyebrows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川" (chuan).
He had a gut feeling that something was wrong with what happened today, especially when he saw Xie Wenyuan and his wife siding with Shu Ying, which made it seem even more absurd.
He tried to stop Wang Yayun, but he couldn't; she spoke too quickly.
Fang Deshan's gaze swept over Xie Mingzhu and Huang Meiling's faces. When he saw their similar faces, his pupils dilated in shock, and a chill ran from his feet to his head.
The next second, Huang Meiling spoke without any emotion, "That would be even better. Fortunately, your Fang family is magnanimous. Although the Xie family kicked Xie Wanying out of the house, with you all here, she is not so pitiful."
Wang Yayun and Fang Deshan exchanged a glance.
What's going on?
How could it come to the point of completely disowning this daughter?
The two men's suspicious gazes swept across Xie Wanying's face. Wang's sister-in-law spoke quickly, her voice carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"Or maybe your family is just too kind-hearted. Xie Wanying isn't a daughter of the Xie family at all. Over the years, she's usurped the family's place and even prevented the biological mother and daughter from recognizing each other. You dare to take in such a viper? From now on, your family can just live a good life."
Fang Deshan's mind went blank, and he felt as if the sky had fallen.
He was about to be promoted, and at this crucial moment, he really needed the support of Xie Wenyuan and his wife. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the old couple's return this time to get closer to them and use their connections to make some good connections.
But now they're telling him that Xie Wanying isn't the Xie family's biological daughter!
Wang Yayun nearly fainted when her eyes rolled back, but the plump aunt behind her caught her quickly.
Fang Deshan's steps were unsteady, and Xie Wanying turned her head away guiltily, but now she could only rely on him.
She sobbed and hugged his waist. "Deshan, I really don't know anything about this, but these people don't believe me. I don't know how things turned out like this. My parents have suddenly become someone else's parents. Will I have no home left?"
The more Xie Wanying talked, the more pitiful she felt.
“I am truly innocent. I also wish I could stay with my parents. Deshan, my parents suddenly seem so distant today that I feel like I don’t even recognize them. We’ve lived together for so many years, and I’ve been by their side for so many years. Does it really matter whether they are my biological child or not?”
The onlookers all had expressions that were hard to describe.
If it were a grateful person, emotions would naturally play a significant role. But for a venomous snake like her, if blood ties are unimportant, what else is most important?
Moreover, everything she has now doesn't belong to her in the first place. She was robbed of her life in the impoverished mountains, and everything she can enjoy is the best.
Her current claims of being pitiful and innocent make her seem like a joke to everyone.
In the end, Sister Wang couldn't hold back. It was hard to say that she didn't look at Xie Wanying with disdain; she even deliberately kept her distance.
"Xie Wanying, everyone is only being kind to you because of the baby in your belly. Stop pretending. You say you're pitiful, but have you ever thought about Comrade Xie Mingzhu?"
