"..."
Hearing Zhang Lanlan's words, Jiang Yi was truly speechless.
She really didn't understand what Zhang Lanlan meant by saying that. Was she defending Han Yuzhu, or was she trying to show how good they were to her?
Unable to understand Zhang Lanlan's feelings, Jiang Yi simply chose to remain silent.
Seeing that Jiang Yi did not respond, Zhang Lanlan continued speaking.
"Xiuer, I'm not saying that it's better for you to stay with us, nor am I saying that staying with your mother in the Zheng family is necessarily worse than staying here!"
"I...sigh, I don't know how to explain this!"
In fact, Zhang Lanlan herself was also confused.
A secret hidden for over twenty years has suddenly been revealed. No matter how you explain it now, it's meaningless. After all, they were the ones who did it; any explanation would be tantamount to a cover-up.
"Mom, I understand!"
Jiang Yi didn't know what she knew, but she also didn't know how to respond.
Might as well pretend to know what you don't!
"You understand!"
"You understand!"
Zhang Lanlan's gaze towards Jiang Yi still held a sense of guilt.
Jiang Yi didn't know what Zhang Lanlan was really thinking, but she didn't want to find out. In her opinion, it was best to end the matter here, and there was no need to dig deeper.
...
Compared to the relatively quiet atmosphere at Old Han's house, things were anything but quiet at Zheng Jianhua and Han Yuzhu's place.
Zheng Jianhua wasn't an idiot; through those conversations, he figured out the truth.
After learning that he was not Han Yuzhu's biological son and was not a member of the Zheng family, Zheng Jianhua was completely stunned.
He had always been proud of his status as the eldest son of the Zheng family and looked down on his cousins. But now, he suddenly realized that he was not actually their biological son.
If this gets out, he's completely finished!
Without his status as the eldest son of the Zheng family, given what he did in the past, even if he leaves the Zheng family, those people will still find him and seek revenge.
"Mom, I was wrong!"
"I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you say!"
Zheng Jianhua knelt before Han Yuzhu, almost bursting into tears.
Han Yuzhu looked at Zheng Jianhua and said, "Are you willing to listen to me now?"
"Why didn't you do this sooner?"
Han Yuzhu was really furious.
If things had gone according to her original plan, her biological daughter could have returned to her side, and the secret could have remained hidden forever. But now that the secret has been revealed, her biological daughter may not have returned.
It's all Zheng Jianhua's fault!
"Mom, it's not too late!"
"It's not too late..."
Zheng Jianhua was genuinely afraid.
He was afraid of losing everything he had, and even more afraid of being retaliated against. He had been ruthless towards his cousins back then, and the people he had bullied were not limited to his cousins.
"Mom, don't worry, as long as Xiuer marries me, I'll do whatever she wants!"
"Yeah?"
Han Yuzhu looked at Zheng Jianhua and said, "Then, you stay here for now and try to make Xiuer like you!"
"Mom, don't worry!"
Zheng Jianhua finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Han Yuzhu say that.
However, Zheng Jianhua, who was already in a state of confusion, did not notice the coldness in Han Yuzhu's eyes at all.
Clearly, Han Yuzhu looked down on Zheng Jianhua's change of attitude.
Or to put it bluntly, in Han Yuzhu's heart, Zheng Jianhua had already been abandoned, and she was no longer prepared to acknowledge him as her son.
