"That's when I learned about her ordeal. I originally wanted to help her find the Women's Federation for assistance."
But Nan Nan said it was no use, no one would believe her. Once, when her younger brother hit her in the face, her stepmother would spread rumors beforehand, saying that she had been injured in a fight outside, to avoid arousing suspicion from the neighbors.
Furthermore, most of her injuries were from needle pricks, or in very hidden locations. Although they were very painful, they weren't noticeable, so no one would believe her.
Because Jiang Nan forbade her to tell anyone, Zhang Qingqing had no choice but to provide her with medicine for sprains and bruises, but this medicine was not very effective for needle pricks.
The wound wasn't actually that big, but the process of getting it stuck was painful; it was definitely a torture.
But she had no other choice, because Jiang Nan absolutely refused to let her tell anyone.
By the end, Zhang Qingqing was crying.
Su He felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.
So, this is the truth behind it all?
That's truly terrifying.
Su He didn't have time to think much, because after calming down, Zhang Qingqing continued, "She really isn't a good person. I'm telling the truth. She doesn't deserve the title of 'heroic mother.' Don't write about her in the newspapers. She doesn't deserve it!"
Su He nodded after hearing this, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, we won't write about her."
Su He originally wanted to ask her if she knew about Jiang Nan and her father asking about potato toxins, but seeing how she was crying and couldn't cheer up, she decided not to ask.
After thanking her, I left the office.
Afterwards, I went to the ward entrance and found that the police were no longer inside. I hesitated for a moment and then left without going in.
What she didn't know was that not long after she left, Zhang Qingqing, having composed herself, also came out of the office and went to Jiang Nan's ward again.
After going inside and not seeing any police officers, I asked, "Have they left?"
Jiang Nan nodded. "Yes, they left a long time ago."
"What do they want from you?"
"It's nothing." Jiang Nan shook her head, not wanting to talk about it, then asked, "Why are you back again? Didn't you have a date this afternoon?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingqing ignored her teasing and said directly, "Never mind me, do you know who just saw me?"
"who?"
"It's a reporter from the newspaper!"
Zhang Qingqing exclaimed excitedly, "That newspaper is blind! They actually wanted to write about your wicked stepmother in the newspaper, and even said they were praising a heroic mother. Bah! What a piece of trash! She doesn't deserve it!"
Fortunately, I found out in time and told your mother about her evil deeds.
"Don't worry, after hearing what I said, the reporter looked very upset and has already promised not to write about her."
However, what she didn't notice was that Jiang Nan's smile disappeared after hearing these words, and he slowly frowned.
"You... told her everything?"
Zhang Qingqing then noticed that her expression was off and assumed that she was angry as well.
He immediately replied, "Yes, Nannan, don't worry. That woman is so vicious, I definitely won't let her be in the newspapers..."
"Didn't you promise me you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Seemingly surprised by her question, Zhang Qingqing nodded directly, "Yes, I promised and I kept my promise. I haven't even told my parents yet."
"Then why did you tell others this time?"
"ah?"
Zhang Qingqing seemed to finally realize that Jiang Nan wasn't angry about the same thing as her; she seemed even angrier that she had told others about her family's affairs.
