"Since you also have a daughter, you naturally understand that mothers will do anything for their children! I know I shouldn't have taken advantage of An'an like this, but I also adopted her, provided her with food and clothing, and didn't let her starve to death on the streets!"
Jian Hui spoke as if it were a matter of course, as if she had done a great act of charity.
"Today I've finally seen what shamelessness and brazenness really mean." Just then, Yi Tianran walked in from outside the door, her gaze landing on Jian Hui with a mocking look. She said with a half-smile, "Although you are shameless and full of lies, at least your parents gave you a good name, Jian Hui. It sounds almost like a cheap slut. They were right."
Jian Hui turned around abruptly, and the moment she saw her, her eyes widened instantly. "You orchestrated all of this? Qin Yao! You've ruined my Yinyin so badly, and you still won't let it go! What exactly do you want?"
“She deserved it! And you—” Yi Tianran strode over, threw a stack of documents in her face, and coldly exposed her: “You keep saying that you adopted Chu An’an to donate blood to your daughter, but you have been abusing her for years, starving her every few days, beating her to vent your anger, and locking her in a dark and sunless solitary confinement cell, no matter how much she cried and begged for mercy, it was no use!”
If this isn't intentional revenge, then are you mentally unstable and need to be sent to a mental hospital for treatment?
The sharp paper cut her cheek, and a drop of bright red blood fell on it.
Looking at the incredibly detailed evidence and photos, Jian Hui turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that there was no way to deny it.
On the stairs, Shen Manqing was trembling with anger, her heart clenching with pain.
She didn't even dare to look Chu An'an in the eyes.
It was all because of her mistakes that her daughter ended up like this; she is not a responsible mother.
At that moment, she looked down at Chu Yu in her hand and suddenly let go.
"Aaaaaah—" A bloodcurdling scream rang out as Chu Yu wept bitterly, crying out in anguish, "Mom and Dad, save me..."
"No!!!" Seeing their son about to tumble down the high steps, the Chu couple were terrified and rushed forward, but it was too late.
In the last second before he was about to fall, Shen Manqing grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back from the brink of death.
The Chu couple collapsed to the ground as if they had been drained of all energy, their hearts pounding wildly, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
A cruel smile immediately appeared on Shen Manqing's face, her voice as cold as a demon from hell: "I'm giving you one last chance. Either confess honestly, or next time, you can expect to be collecting your precious son's corpse!"
Meeting those icy, frosty eyes, Jian Hui knew she was capable of it.
At this moment, she was filled with utter despair and tearfully confessed the truth: "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong... It was all my fault! Sister Manqing, it was because I was jealous of you that I thought of such a despicable trick. Because you stole the man I loved most back then and made me a laughing stock in the whole industry, I was so unwilling to accept it that I did such a stupid thing..."
Back then, Jian Hui and Shen Manqing were from the same school.
Because of their similar backgrounds, beautiful appearances, and outstanding temperaments, they are often compared.
But in terms of academic performance and various selections, she lost to Shen Manqing in the end.
At first, she didn't have a competitive spirit, but after losing many times, she became more and more unwilling to accept defeat and took the initiative to challenge her again and again. However, Shen Manqing didn't even know who she was and didn't take her seriously at all, eventually defeating her severely.
The surrounding mockery and disdain grew louder, with everyone saying she was inferior to Shen Manqing, but she silently endured it all.
She felt that as long as she could marry the man of her dreams, she would be set for life.
But the handsome guy didn't like her either; he only had eyes for Shen Manqing, and later rumors even circulated that the two were dating.
At that moment, intense jealousy and hatred quickly corroded her internal organs. She couldn't understand why, even though she had been so tolerant, Shen Manqing still wanted to take away her only hope.
Unwilling to give up, she deliberately sought an opportunity at the school's graduation party to drug her crush, hoping that once things were consummated, he would take responsibility for her.
However, Shen Manqing exposed her in advance, causing her to lose face in public and become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.
Even her parents were utterly disappointed in her. Having lost this opportunity, her family directly arranged for her to marry the heir of a small family, namely Chu's father.
Her life should have been full of glory, happiness, and love, but it was ruined by Shen Manqing.
The man she schemed so hard to win over, Shen Manqing didn't appreciate him and cruelly abandoned him, causing his accidental death.
She gained nothing, but Shen Manqing gave birth to an illegitimate child with her crush, namely Chu An'an.
How could she not hate that?
After hearing Jian Hui's explanation, everyone was stunned, and a deathly silence fell over the air.
Chu An'an stood there blankly, a tear welling up in her eye, and an overwhelming sadness welled up in her heart.
So that's how it is...
From beginning to end, she was just a pawn to be used for revenge, no wonder her adoptive mother never gave her a kind look.
She slowly lowered her head.
After a long silence, Shen Manqing, her eyes red and her voice hoarse, spoke: "So, this is why you plotted to kidnap my daughter, causing us to be separated?"
Just because of ridiculous jealousy, someone ruined half of another person's life!
"I..." Jian Hui's lips trembled, and she knelt down with a thud. "I was really just bewitched for a moment... I was wrong, please, Sister Manqing, please let my son go, I'll kneel down for you, I'll kowtow to you..."
Shen Manqing clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with resentment and hatred.
Back then, she was given a last-minute mission and entrusted her daughter to someone else's care. She was supposed to be home within two days, but things changed along the way. She was attacked by the enemy and seriously injured. She was unconscious in the hospital and did not recover for nearly half a month.
When she woke up, her daughter was gone.
It is said that because she couldn't wait for her to come back, she cried and made a fuss all day until she fell asleep, and then secretly ran out at night to look for her mother.
She then searched frantically, and the police told her that her daughter had most likely been abducted by human traffickers.
She was filled with despair and despair, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to give up. In order to find her daughter, she gradually established a security group, contacted important figures at all levels, and used all kinds of connections. She spent a full fifteen years, but she never expected that her daughter would be deliberately taken to China and hidden by an "acquaintance".
