Liu Jiaer's act of attacking a child in public has ruined her image in the eyes of the public.
Song Mai gently helped An'an up and said softly, "Baby, I'm sorry you had to go through this."
Then, she went straight to Liu Jiaer.
Without saying a word, he slapped her hard across the face.
The sound was crisp and loud, causing everyone present to instinctively gasp.
Everyone knows that Liu Jia'er in front of them is the future daughter-in-law of the Chu family, and Qin Jizhi has always been particularly fond of her.
Song Mai's slap not only hit her face, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Chu family.
Liu Jia'er was slapped twice in a row, and she was furious and embarrassed.
She glared fiercely at Song Mai: "Who do you think you are, daring to hit me here?"
"This slap was meant to teach you what manners are. Is it moral for you to speak rudely to a child?" Song Mai said, barely suppressing her anger.
She didn't want to lose control in front of An'an, so after calming her anger, she quietly looked at her.
At this moment, Liu Jia'er looked like a madwoman who had just come out of a mental hospital, appearing even more insane in contrast to Song Mai.
Liu Jiaer took a deep breath: "You just wait, I will never let you off easily."
Just then, Qin Jizhi rushed to her side, looking at the red mark on her face with heartache.
"Jia'er, is someone bullying you?"
Liu Jia'er looked at her with a wronged expression: "Auntie, I really don't know why things turned out this way. I only said a few words to her, and she actually encouraged Yun Xing to hit me, and even hit him herself."
Looking at Song Mai's indifferent expression, Qin Jizhi immediately believed what she said. He subconsciously mistook her indifference for arrogance, further worsening his impression of her.
"Is this your class? Don't think you can bully others just because my son has a slight liking for you. Don't think you can marry into the Chu family just because of your face. It's not that easy." Qin Jizhi frowned and glared at her fiercely.
“I never thought of marrying into your family, after all, what I experienced back then has made me afraid.”
This calm statement left everyone present completely bewildered.
Everyone frowned and looked at each other.
A moment later, Qin Jizhi suddenly realized something and his eyes widened: "You're Song Mai?"
Everyone knows about the car accident that year, and after Song Mai announced her death, Chu Yunxing directly revealed her identity.
No one had time to react, and the topic remained on the trending list for three days and three nights.
Everyone knows that Chu Yunxing had a beloved ex-wife who tragically passed away in a car accident.
Now this person has reappeared beside Chu Yunxing unharmed, and even brought a child with him.
Such breaking news drew a growing crowd, so much so that people had forgotten that the main character of the day should have been Grandma Li, who hadn't even arrived yet.
"Auntie, it's been a long time."
"How do you prove your identity? Over the years, countless people have tried to imitate Song Mai's identity. Many people even dislike spending a lot of money on facial surgery just to resemble Song Mai in some way."
Qin Jizhi naturally didn't want to believe her, after all, the matter of waiting for the New Year was related to Liu Jia'er. If Song Mai regained her memory and returned unharmed, it meant that Liu Jia'er would definitely be in danger.
"Whether Auntie believes it or not, I'm standing here. But there's one thing: the sins of the children should not be visited upon them. No matter how much you all hated me back then, you shouldn't inflict such hatred on young children." Song Mai declared her bottom line in public.
Qin Jizhi stared at her coldly, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips.
"Even if you really are Song Mai, who can guarantee that your private life is clean when you bring back a child without a father?"
Having a child without a father was Qin Jizhi's last resort to threaten her.
Hearing the disdain in her words, Song Mai said calmly, "This is our business, it has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, she smiled and waved to Qin Jizhi.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
After saying that, Song Mai turned and left with An An.
Liu Jia'er, who had thought Qin Jizhi could help her get revenge, was even more furious and stomped her feet. Being slapped like that for nothing was unacceptable to anyone.
She looked at Qin Jizhi with a wronged expression and said anxiously, "Auntie, are we just going to let her go back like this?"
"Good child, I'm afraid you'll have to make do for now."
Qin Jizhi looked at her with heartache, unable to come up with a better solution at the moment.
At this moment, Song Mai brought An An aside, looking displeased.
Chu Yunxing looked at her with concern and gently comforted her, "I will handle this matter. It is our family that has wronged you, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
"I don't need you to do anything to me, but at least show some basic respect to a young child. The Chu family is a prestigious clan, yet they would say such a thing. I really don't understand." Song Mai glared at him fiercely, then led An'an away to another place once again.
Chu Yunxing wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Jibai and Lin Ran.
Lin Ran said helplessly, "Don't worry, let me try to talk to her. Going there now will only make her feel worse, and it will do her no good."
Jiang Jibai put his arm around Chu Yunxing's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we two brothers have had a drink. Shall we go over and have a drink?"
Lin Ran found Song Mai and sighed helplessly as she looked at the still-present red marks on her face.
"I never expected it to turn out like this." Lin Ran's expression was somewhat wistful as she comforted her, "Don't take it to heart. Everyone knows that An'an is your weakness, which is why they're holding onto this matter."
"I just didn't expect Madam Chu to be so rude." Song Mai shook her head in disappointment. "I suppose she wasn't very kind to me before either."
"At that time, you concealed your marriage to Master Yun, so I didn't know about the trivial matters of your marriage. However, after your car accident, Qin Jizhi's attitude really made me very angry. She didn't care about your life or death, and even directly declared that you were a daughter-in-law whom the Chu family did not acknowledge."
Lin Ran looked down at An'an, who was eating dessert: "An'an is a good girl and has helped us a lot. It was An'an who came up with the idea to threaten Qin Jizhi in the bathroom just now."
“An’an is my blessing, but she has suffered so much injustice by my side.” Song Mai looked at her with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes.
"You've taken very good care of An'an, there's no need to say such self-blaming things." Lin Ran changed the subject. "Just now, the Shen family elders seemed quite satisfied with you. Could it be that they want you to be their daughter-in-law?"
