Chapter 459 Purpose
"Us?" Zhong Nianyao tilted her head and thought for a moment before speaking, "If you really count, we should be considered your daughter's friends, right?"
"Are you the one who paid the money... or Zheng Tong's friend?" Wu Yueshang looked at the people in front of her warily. "No matter what Zheng Tong did outside, it has nothing to do with us."
The Zheng family had no idea that Chu Tong had reunited with her biological parents. However, this was no surprise, as the family showed no concern for Chu Tong. Even when Chu Tong was hospitalized and dying, no one from the family showed up.
"Doesn't it have anything to do with you?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "I heard that all the money she has earned over the years is in your hands!"
"Nonsense." Wu Yueshang's voice became sharp as she defended herself loudly, "We no longer have any relationship with Zheng Tong, and she's not our biological daughter. Everything she did has nothing to do with us. Go find her and kill or chop her up as you please."
"That's right," Zheng Kangjian, who was standing by, quickly spoke up. "Our family raised her and has done everything we can. Now that she's gotten into trouble outside, that's her own business. You go find her."
At this time, Zhong Nianyao's eyes fell on Zheng Kangjian. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. Then, a curious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said meaningfully, "Are you sure that there is really no relationship between you and her anymore?"
"No, not at all." Zheng Kangjian said hurriedly, "There's no blood relationship between us. Now that our family has raised her, we don't expect anything in return. We're all even now."
Seeing the Zheng family trying to sever ties with Chu Tong without hesitation, Chu Xu was furious.
This group of people is so hateful. He couldn't even imagine how depressed his second cousin must have been growing up in such an environment.
Lu Yichen also noticed something wrong, and his cold gaze fell on Zheng Kangjian.
That cold look made Zheng Kangjian feel something was wrong with his body, as if he had fallen into ice water. His whole body was cold, and he even seemed to be unable to breathe at any time.
Noticing something strange about her son, Wu Yueshang stepped forward, stood in front of Zheng Kangjian, and looked at Zhong Nianyao and her group with a wary look.
Zheng De was like an outsider from beginning to end, hiding aside.
Zhong Nianyao tugged at Lu Yichen's hand. After Lu Yichen withdrew his gaze, she looked back at the mother and son and spoke slowly, "Do you really have nothing to do with Zheng Tong at all? I'm talking about just a little bit."
"That's right." Although Wu Yueshang felt that Zhong Nianyao's question was a little strange, she still insisted on her statement, "We haven't been in touch for almost a month. Whether she is dead or alive, and what trouble she got into outside, it has nothing to do with us."
"That's really strange." Zhong Nianyao's gaze fell on Zheng Kangjian again, "Why do I see that you're still forcing her things here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zheng De came forward at this time. "The money she gave us before was to repay us for raising her. It's already ours. Don't even think about taking it away."
He had been silent from the beginning, but now that money and interests were involved, he could no longer remain calm.
Wu Yueshang also echoed, "That's right, don't expect to take that money away. We will definitely not hand it over."
"You all guessed wrong." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, "I never said that the so-called thing is money! It is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is in you."
While speaking, Zhong Nianyao raised her hand and pointed her finger directly at Zheng Kangjian, "Since you have nothing to do with Zheng Tong anymore, shouldn't you also hand over what you got from Zheng Tong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the Zheng family members changed drastically. Especially Zheng Kangjian, the blood color on his face suddenly faded away, and he looked pale and weak. He looked at his parents with a look of bewilderment.
Zheng De and Wu Yueshang looked at each other, and then tacitly stood in front of Zheng Kangjian, showing a protective posture.
"Get out of here right now." Wu Yueshang pointed at the door and said sternly, "This is my home. You're trespassing. I can call the police right now to arrest you."
"Oh." Zhong Nianyao nodded, her face showing no fear. "Didn't you say that there's no blood relationship between you and Zheng Tong? Then, how did Zheng Tong come to your family and become your daughter?"
Zheng De and Wu Yueshang both looked unhappy, as if they had remembered something.
"This has nothing to do with you." Zheng De said timidly, "Anyway, we've already raised her to this age. She's an adult now and can stand on her own. What she does outside has nothing to do with us."
"She was kidnapped, right?" Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "Or rather, you didn't intend for her to be your daughter from the beginning, but due to some strange circumstances, you had no choice but to raise her. But you were unwilling to accept that, so you've always treated her like an ATM, constantly sucking her blood!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Wu Yueshang shouted, "We didn't kidnap children. We found her on the street and took pity on her, so we brought her home to raise. Do you know how difficult it was for us to raise her over the years?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Just now, didn't you guys keep saying you were going to call the police? Then let's call the police, and let them investigate what happened that year."
When they heard Zhong Nianyao say to call the police, Zheng De and Wu Yueshang immediately stopped talking. Although it had been many years since the incident, they were really not sure if they could find out anything now.
"Who are you? What is your purpose for coming here today?"
Zheng De was no fool. After listening for so long, he had already sensed something was amiss. The group of people before him didn't look like they were out to cause trouble for Zheng Tong. Instead, they seemed to be speaking up for her.
