"What's so great about it? Growing up in an orphanage, and having to work odd jobs every year to earn your living expenses while in college, what's so great about that?"
Grandma Fang, however, felt indignant on Fang Yuan's behalf and wanted everyone to know what kind of life her granddaughter was living.
"Grown up in an orphanage? We looked for you in the orphanage back then, how come we didn't find you?"
My aunt also said with heartache that her little niece had really suffered.
This thief is despicable. If you don't want to raise children and sell them for money, why would you steal them?
They sent such a good child to an orphanage. If my third brother's wife were still alive, how heartbroken she would be.
"Maybe I was just unlucky, but thankfully I'm back now," Fang Yuan said with a smile.
“Little girl, I’m your second uncle. Do you remember your second uncle? I used to love holding you.” Second Uncle Fang Haiyan asked, looking at Fang Yuan.
The girl looks like his mother, so he really likes to hug her.
"Second Uncle, I don't remember." Fang Yuan shook his head.
She was only three years old when the original owner of this body was stolen. The reason she could remember Cao Fang was because this person left her with a terrifying impression.
"Third brother, are you sure about her identity? Don't make a mistake."
Li Xueqin, the second aunt who had been silent until now, unexpectedly spoke up.
She really couldn't believe they'd found it so easily, after all, back then...
"Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law. I'm not only sure that Yuanyuan is my daughter, but I've also found out who stole her and the mastermind behind it."
Fang Qinghe looked at Li Xueqin with a cold expression mixed with hatred.
"What mastermind? Wasn't this child lost back then?" Li Xueqin said awkwardly.
Fang Qinghe's gaze gave her a bad feeling. Had he discovered something?
"The mastermind? Third brother, what's going on?"
Fang Shengping sat up straight and asked.
His entire aura immediately rose, an aura that had developed from his long tenure in a high position.
He had a bad feeling when Fang Yuan said that she had been taken away, and he was even more certain that something was wrong when she was dumped in an orphanage.
Unexpectedly, there was something fishy about this.
"Is there another mastermind behind this?" Fang Haiyan asked uncertainly.
Wasn't this child abducted by human traffickers? How could there be some conspiracy involved? Why doesn't he believe me when I tell him?
“I called everyone here tonight to talk about this. Although so many years have passed, my wife left because of this, and my daughter has suffered for so many years. It’s time for an explanation.”
Fang Qinghe's tone was unusually firm.
After tonight's meteor shower, the apocalypse will arrive, and he doesn't want to drag this matter out until the apocalypse.
“Okay, go ahead,” Fang Shengping said seriously.
“Then I’ll listen too. I want to see who’s behind this.” Fang Haiyan nodded.
He just didn't expect that the fire would soon reach him.
Seeing this, Grandma Fang beckoned to Fang Yuan: "Yuanyuan, come over to Grandma."
"good."
Fang Yuan didn't say much, but smiled and sat down next to Grandma Fang, taking her arm in his.
Looking at the two faces that looked so alike, Grandpa Fang was moved and spoke up:
"Everyone who was supposed to come has arrived. Third brother, bring out that woman who stole Fangyuan."
After saying that, he even glanced at the second son's wife.
The third brother had previously told him that it was the family's doing, but he didn't believe it.
After everyone arrived today, he kept observing her and unexpectedly discovered her unusual behavior.
This daughter-in-law has always been competitive and ambitious, but I never expected her to do something like this. It really disappointed him.
Fang Qinghe looked at the housekeeper: "Go downstairs and have them bring the person over."
Soon, a woman in her forties, who was quite attractive, was brought over by two policemen.
Fang Chengyuan, dressed in a police uniform, followed behind, lagging behind with a somewhat unpleasant expression.
"So, where have you been all this time? You've been running errands for your third uncle?"
Fang Shengping looked at Fang Chengyuan. No wonder he called him earlier saying he had something to do; this kid had kept it a complete secret from him.
"Dad, you'll be surprised later."
After Fang Chengyuan finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa, glanced at his second uncle's family, and hesitated before speaking.
“Mr. Fang, I was out of my mind and stole your daughter. Cao Can had no idea. I just put your daughter in an orphanage. I really didn’t hurt her.”
When Cao Fang saw Fang Qinghe again, she immediately begged for mercy.
She never expected that Fang Qinghe would directly charge her with child abduction and have the police arrest her.
After being brought here by the police on the grounds of identifying a criminal target, a eloquent lawyer arrived.
From stealing the child to abandoning the child, she was charged with more than a dozen crimes, including murder, as if she would be sentenced to life imprisonment if she didn't die.
Even her daughter became an accomplice and had to go to jail with her.
She was genuinely scared.
“I’m giving you a chance to be honest. In front of everyone in the room, tell them what happened back then. Remember, first make sure you understand who’s talking in the room.”
Fang Qinghe said meaningfully.
"I will definitely explain it clearly, I definitely..." Cao Fang nodded hurriedly.
He then looked around the room and saw Li Xueqin dodging him. A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"It was her, it was Li Xueqin! This woman was the one who started it all. She lured me into stealing the child, and she covered for me!"
Upon seeing the culprit in the house, Cao Can found his target.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you want to get away with this, don't just go around making things up. Don't you know your place and whether you're even qualified to associate yourself with my mother?"
Cao Fang's words prompted Fang Qing to step forward immediately.
How dare this vile woman speak such nonsense!
How could her mother possibly harm her third uncle's daughter?
"That's right, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Don't forget who I am. I'm the wife of this family. Do you think you can just make baseless accusations against me?"
Li Xueqin specifically emphasized her identity, telling Cao Fang to think carefully before speaking.
Unfortunately, Cao Fang, who was being threatened by the lawyer downstairs—no, brainwashed by the lawyer—no longer cared about Li Xueqin's identity.
She's going to be imprisoned for life, so of course she won't let go of any charges that could be reduced.
"It's you. If I've uttered even half a lie, may I suffer a terrible death for the rest of my life."
Cao Can pointed at Li Xueqin and swore an oath.
She then recounted in detail how she stole the child, how she escaped, and how she moved Fang Yuan.
She stole the child in a moment of impulse, and regretted it as soon as she did. She wants to ask Li Xueqin for help to return the child.
Unexpectedly, Li Xueqin not only covered for her, but also gave her so-called "child's living expenses".
She gradually calmed down.
However, Fang Yuan was already three years old at the time, and she kept saying she wanted to go home, crying and making a fuss.
She couldn't coax her and was afraid of being exposed, so she found a remote orphanage and left her there.
Cao Fang's words left everyone in the room speechless.
