Yu Peiyan was furious with Song Xia. How dare a commoner like her, the wife of the chairman of the Cheng Group, yell at her?
"Nonsense." Her eyes held a chilling venom as she looked at Song Xia as if she were already dead.
Song Xia looked back without fear. She had seen too much disdain like this before, and many of them regretted it after being taken advantage of by her.
Cheng Zhili was at a loss. One was her mother who raised her, and the other was Aunt Song, who was suspected to be her biological mother. She really didn't want the two of them to have any enmity.
Song Wenwen didn't care. She had seen through the true colors of the Cheng family yesterday and had no intention of acknowledging them, so she firmly stood by her mother, Song Xia.
To prevent them from fighting, the police quickly brought people to draw their blood while the atmosphere was tense.
Because the police did not expedite the process, the test results from yesterday are not yet available. However, upon closer inspection, Song Wenwen does bear a resemblance to Yu Peiyan, but her facial features and temperament are not as sharp and cold as Yu Peiyan's, so she doesn't look very similar.
As for Cheng Zhili and Song Xia, it's more like a three-way match. Song Wenwen used to always say that the two of them were destined for each other, but now, looking at the comparison, she feels a little uneasy.
The outcome is already obvious; it's just a formality now.
"Do you have any clues about the truth behind the switch back then?" Yu Peiyan pressed the police, giving Song Xia a few undisguised scornful glances, as if she couldn't wait to send him to jail.
"At present, it appears that Ms. Song, whom you suspect, is not a suspect."
Yu Peiyan's expression changed: "How could that be? Who else could it be but her?"
"Do you think everyone values profit as much as you do? Suspecting my mother without any evidence, what's so great about the Cheng family?" Song Wenwen said sarcastically. She had wanted to confront the Cheng family for a long time because of this. Suspecting her mother for no reason was simply insane.
"Shut up. It's an adult talking. Why are you interrupting? You have no manners."
Song Wenwen was furious after being scolded. She rolled up her sleeves and started yelling, "You have manners? You have manners to convict people at will? You call yourself an adult? What kind of adult are you? You're just a shrew, a crazy person who's making a fuss."
Yu Peiyan had never been insulted like this before, especially since the person was very likely her own daughter. She was furious and reached out to slap Song Wenwen.
Song Xia grabbed her arm in mid-air, her voice icy: "Who gave you permission to hit my daughter? No matter how old Wenwen is, I wouldn't even lay a finger on her. What right do you have?"
After saying that, she pulled down hard, and Yu Peiyan lost her balance and stumbled back several steps, looking quite disheveled.
"You just wait." After being supported by Cheng Zhili, she pointed at Song Xia with trembling hands, "I will never let you get away with this."
She then pointed at Song Wenwen: "And you, even if you kneel down and beg me in the future, I will not let you go back to the Cheng family."
Song Wenwen sneered: "I've already said it, I don't care, get as far away as you can."
Cheng Zhili's worry deepened. She glanced at Song Xia and Song Wenwen, then said softly to Yu Peiyan, "Mom, is there some misunderstanding? Let's find a place to sit down and talk it over."
“What misunderstanding could there be? Can’t you see your mother being bullied? What use are you?” Yu Peiyan was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she started to accuse Cheng Zhili.
Cheng Zhili was instantly at a loss, her lips pressed tightly together, as if shrouded in darkness.
Yu Peiyan continued her lecture: "Why don't you know how to side with me? Or have you been dissatisfied with the arrangements your mother made for you for a long time?"
Cheng Zhili quickly explained, "Mom, I didn't..."
"Don't even think about leaving the Cheng family. Do you know how much effort we've put into raising you? You can never repay what the family has given you in this lifetime. Once you leave us, you can forget about ever living that kind of superior life again."
Song Wenwen felt suffocated just listening to all this. No wonder Zhili was always unhappy. It would be strange if she could be happy when she was being lectured like this all the time.
She had been worried about what would happen to herself after Zhili returned to her mother's side, but now she was completely filled with heartache. She realized that her life had been much better than Zhili's all these years. For the past ten years or so, Zhili had borne all the pain for her. She couldn't believe that if she were in Zhili's position, she could have endured it until now.
"It's as if you've done Zhili a great favor. Zhili would be better off without you."
"What do you know? The life we're giving Zhili is something you could only dream of your whole life."
"Stop being narcissistic and showing off. So what if you have a few stinking coins? There are plenty of rich people in this world, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. You raise a child and still expect something in return. What else can you give Zhili besides PUA? If Zhili lived with her mother, she wouldn't have to endure the pressure you put on her."
"Nonsense. Do you know how many people in this world envy her life in the Cheng family?"
"All I know is that if Zhili had lived with her mother since she was little, she would have been much happier than if she had lived with you. Stop acting so superior. My mother has plenty of money. Stop acting like a rich person in front of her."
Yu Peiyan scoffed: "How many coins could you possibly have? You're so ignorant. Once you know the Cheng family's wealth, you'll realize how foolish you are."
Song Wenwen scoffed, "Auntie, please do your research before you say these things to us. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're the richest person in the world! If your family really had that much money, would you need to push Zhili out for a marriage alliance and beg for cooperation with the Ji family? You have the nerve to flaunt the money from selling your daughter."
Yu Peiyan stared wide-eyed, her chest heaving violently, but at that moment she seemed to finally notice something was wrong with Song Xia and the others.
Yesterday, because we were going to have a barbecue, the two of them wore old clothes from home that were easy to clean. Today, they weren't dressed in anything flashy either, just simple casual wear. But there's a big difference between casual wear from big brands and ordinary suits from the supermarket.
First of all, the design and texture are different. The simplest color scheme can actually make it look more high-end.
Song Xia simply stood there, exuding a sense of languor and nobility. Upon closer inspection, her face was wrinkle-free, and her skin was fair and delicate, showing no signs of fatigue or vicissitude from long-term dry barbecue. The only jewelry she wore was a jade bracelet and a jadeite pendant.
Because it was too green, Yu Peiyan immediately assumed it was a fake when she first saw it. But now, upon closer inspection, she has begun to have doubts.
And Song Wenwen, those shoes she's wearing, aren't they some new product from a fashion show? They must cost tens of thousands of yuan, could they not be counterfeit?
But how is that possible? How can they afford such luxury goods?
"You tell me." She looked at Zhili, her anger growing even stronger.
Cheng Zhili explained embarrassedly, "Mom, Aunt Song is very capable. The Song Kitchen we often go to is owned by Aunt Song."
