Shu Ying sneered, remaining unmoved no matter how Xie Wanying tried to provoke her.
Sister-in-law Wang's voice was tinged with concern. "Xie Wanying, what time is it? Stop saying these irrelevant things here. Nobody's a fool. Nobody's going to hurt you and your child in front of so many eyes. The most important thing now is to go to the hospital. How can you, as a mother, not care about your child for even a moment?"
Xie Wanying panicked upon hearing this, forgetting to even cover her stomach. "It's my own child, how could I not care? It's Shu Ying who doesn't respect me as her sister-in-law!"
"Ha, who is Yingying's sister-in-law? Song Yongfu's daughter, Song Wanying? You've had a smooth life all these years, and you've probably forgotten who you really are, or perhaps you simply don't want to remember."
Xie Wanying hadn't finished speaking when Xie Mingzhu and her group returned.
Seeing a crowd gathered at her doorstep, Xie Mingzhu pushed through the crowd and glared coldly at Xie Wanying.
Xie Wanying's expression froze, especially when she saw Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling behind her; the panic in her eyes became even more undisguised.
She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with one hand, trying to calm herself down. She nervously swallowed, pretending not to understand what Xie Mingzhu meant.
"Song Zhaodi, what does our family's business have to do with you? It seems you've lived here so long you've forgotten your place. I..."
“I have always been clear about my own identity. But you, do you not even dare to acknowledge your own parents? Or have you become so accustomed to the riches and honors of the outside world that you think you should be superior to them? When Zhiyan was in the hospital, you couldn’t wait to go and verify the news of his death. Even if you and your siblings were at odds, you shouldn’t have been so indifferent to the life of a living person.”
Xie Mingzhu proceeded cautiously, giving Xie Wanying no chance to refute her.
"Actually, you already knew your identity and that you were not the biological daughter of the Xie family. That's why you kept coming to test me. Xie Wanying, we're all adults now. Put away your petty thoughts that you're putting on a show. Otherwise, you'll end up getting yourself into trouble instead of getting anything in return."
Xie Wanying stared wide-eyed in shock, speechless. She looked pleadingly at Xie Wenyuan and his wife beside her, but the two of them did not offer any opinions. Instead, they let Xie Mingzhu's words become more and more offensive.
Her eyes suddenly welled up with tears. This time, the fear came from within. The secret she had painstakingly hidden for so long had finally been discovered.
She was terrified that her current life would cease to exist, and she was also worried that Xie Wenyuan would really disown her as his daughter.
Xie Wanying's voice trembled, and she no longer cared about the purpose of her visit today.
“Song Zhaodi, I grew up here. The elders here can all testify that I was raised by them. My parents weren’t home often when I was little, and Zhiyan and I relied on the kindness of others. How can you say that I’m not my parents’ biological child?”
Her voice rose slightly, almost imperceptibly, but Shu Ying laughed.
People only raise their voices to cover up the truth when they feel guilty. Xie Wanying's behavior doesn't seem like anger at being questioned, but rather like a desperate act after being exposed.
"Xie Wanying, no, or perhaps I should call you Song Wanying, your parents switched you and your sister, you should have known about it long ago, right? But you kept quiet, just because you didn't want to give up your current wealth and status. You calculated everything, thinking that if no one knew about this, you could be worry-free and live a peaceful life forever. But you didn't expect that there are no secrets in this world."
