Chapter 202 The Murderer is Right Beside You
While the Jiang siblings were discussing whether to move to the capital, another major event occurred in the Fang family.
Su Jing suddenly stood up, felt a wave of dizziness, and slumped back onto the sofa. With red eyes, she asked in a trembling voice, "What...what did you say?"
The nanny, who was specifically hired to serve Fang Shuying but actually to monitor and keep an eye on her, was terrified.
"Miss Fang, she... she jumped out of the window and ran away while I was out buying groceries."
Su Jing: "..."
Fang Bo'an: "..."
Fang Bo'an strode out, and Su Jing quickly followed.
The aunt was stunned for a moment, then jogged after him.
When they arrived at the house where Fang Shuying was being held, they found that the vegetables and meat that the aunt had bought were still lying on the ground at the door.
The door latch of Fang Shuying's room has fallen off.
The aunt said apologetically, "I called Miss Fang several times when I came back, but she didn't answer."
"I was afraid something would happen to her, so I kicked the door open."
There are several footprints on the door.
Fang Bo'an went straight into the room and found a rope made from a torn bed sheet tied to the bed leg, hanging down to the ground through the window.
Fang Bo'an gritted his teeth in anger: "That brat, this is the fourth floor, isn't she afraid of heights?"
Fang Shuying was quite spoiled when she was a child.
Many children like to be lifted up high, but Fang Shuying doesn't.
They would even burst into tears at the slightest provocation.
And what was the result?
They can descend three floors without hesitation and have even learned how to climb.
She even knew how many knots to put on the rope to prevent her hand from slipping and falling.
Even the soldiers in his unit might not have thought things through as carefully as she did.
Women are ultimately more meticulous than men.
Fang Bo'an was only concerned with how Fang Shuying escaped, but Su Jing wanted to know why she ran away when she was perfectly fine. They had clearly agreed to rest for a month and recover before discussing anything else.
Su Jing easily found a piece of paper under Fang Shuying's pillow.
A few lines of text were written on the paper in a flamboyant style:
'I knew you'd never treated me like your own daughter, it's always been like this since I was little.'
"When I was little, you complained that I cried all the time and embarrassed you. Now that I'm older, you complain that I have too many thoughts and am not quiet enough, which you also find embarrassing. And now, you're forcing me to abort my own child."
'I hate you all.'
I hate you, Fang Bo'an; I hate you, Su Jing; I hate your whole family.
"Since you've gone to such extremes first, I'll let it slide, considering you practically raised me."
'But from this day forward, we are completely estranged and have no further connection whatsoever.'
Su Jing stared wide-eyed at the words on the paper.
After a long while, she covered her face and sobbed, "How could she do this? Weren't we doing it for her own good? Besides, how could we have felt ashamed of her? We've always treated her like a princess..."
Fang Bo'an also finished reading the words on the paper. He tore the paper to shreds in a few quick movements, threw it on the ground, and laughed angrily.
"Alright, alright, now I know what it means to be an ingrate and to turn the tables on someone."
"We never expected that after raising them for twenty-four years, we would end up with such a piece of trash."
"Didn't she want to sever ties with us?"
"Then let's break it off!"
"From now on, let's pretend that the Fang family doesn't exist."
Su Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Old Fang..."
Fang Bo'an looked at her reddened eyes: "What? You still have feelings for this ungrateful wretch?"
"Are you blind? She clearly wrote on the sign that she wanted to sever ties with us, why are you still thinking about her?"
Su Jing's eyes were also red: "No, I, I just feel..."
My heart is cold.
She had absolutely no idea where her education had gone wrong.
They were clearly raised and carefully guided, so how did they turn out like this?
Fang Bo'an snorted coldly: "That means her biological parents are no good either. She's crooked from the root, and no amount of teaching will help her."
Su Jing: "..."
Fang Bo'an suddenly remembered something, squatted down again, pieced the paper back together from the four pieces, and frowned as he said, "Why do I feel like there's something strange about what she said? Something seems off?"
Su Jing, being a teacher, hadn't noticed it in her haste, but now, upon closer inspection, she understood the meaning behind the words on the paper. She hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Old Fang, what's she implying? Does she already know she's not our biological daughter?"
Fang Bo'an's eyes widened: "Huh? Where did you say that?"
His education level was not as high as his wife's, and he only felt that these words were a bit strange, but he couldn't find anything wrong with them.
Su Jing pointed to the first sentence: "Just this one sentence."
"What do you mean by 'I knew you've never treated me like your own daughter, it's always been like this since I was little'? If she hadn't known about her background since she was a child, how could she have written something like that?"
Fang Bo'an wasn't stupid, and he quickly realized something was wrong: "Yes, we all just found out that this girl isn't our biological child. She's just a child, how would she know she's not our biological child if no one told her?"
Some things are too painful to recall.
Especially the children you raised yourself.
Fang Bo'an was busy with work and didn't have much contact with his children.
Su Jing, however, raised Fang Shuying from a young age and even remembered the exact date of her first period.
Looking back now, it seems that Fang Shuying had just started elementary school when she came back one time and started acting strangely.
But she didn't think much of it at the time, assuming the child had a conflict with someone at school, and even made her a small cake to comfort her.
Later on, Fang Shuying, who was originally quite lively, became more and more obedient and docile in front of her.
Su Jing thought the child had simply grown up and become more sensible, but she didn't realize that the child might have known something and was therefore forced to become sensible.
Looking back now, that wasn't being sensible; it was learning to hide oneself.
She remembered someone telling her that Fang Shuying was two-faced, pretending to be well-behaved in front of adults and boys while bullying other girls, especially those prettier than him.
Su Jing also asked the girls who were supposedly bullied, but they all shook their heads and said no. Su Jing always thought that those people were deliberately saying bad things about Fang Shuying, and told them to watch their mouths.
besides.
She clearly remembered that when Fang Shuying was very young, Sister-in-law Lu liked her very much, so much so that she wanted to take her home and raise her herself. She even said things like she could become their daughter-in-law if necessary.
But at some point, Sister-in-law Lu gradually stopped liking Fang Shuying as much, and stopped making joking remarks about treating her like a daughter or daughter-in-law.
At that time, Su Jing always thought it was because Fang Shuying had grown up, so people couldn't make such jokes anymore.
But what if people had already discovered Fang Shuying's true nature back then, which is why they didn't like her?
Of course, there is a crucial point here.
Su Jing, no longer able to cry, exchanged a glance with Fang Bo'an and said in unison, "The person who switched the baby is nearby!"
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to tell Fang Shuying her true background.
