Chapter 281: The Cat Substitutes for the Prince



"Because the medical level of the town clinic was limited, I had a severe hemorrhage and was almost killed. After waking up, I have been lying in bed ever since."

"My mind was in a mess at the time, and I even thought it would be nice if I just died."

Speaking of this, Chen Qin's expression gradually became painful.

"I visited you only a few times, and Sun Zheng took over the responsibility of taking care of you. When the one-year period was up and we were ready to go home, he brought us a little baby wrapped in a blanket."

"He said to me tentatively, 'Look, our daughter is so beautiful.'"

Chen Qin smiled bitterly: "I took a look at her. She wasn't pretty, but she looked about 70% like Sun Zheng. That's when I knew he had switched you with the daughter he had with that woman."

Qiao Ruoxi sneered: "But you didn't expose it, right?"

Chen Qin glanced at Qiao Ruoxi, her eyes filled with guilt, and then she covered her chest in pain.

"I'm too timid and selfish. I'm worried that you'll be like Sun Suyun and look exactly like your father."

"I'm afraid that seeing you will remind me of the time I swore to forget, and I'm also worried that the truth will be exposed and ruin the Shen family's reputation."

"After returning to the Shen family, I sent people to inquire about your situation. They told me that the Qiao couple announced that you were their daughter, so I felt relieved."

"I lied to myself. Although Qiaojia Town is backward, it wouldn't be a bad thing if you could grow up there without worries. When I raise Sun Suyun, I will have paid off my guilt towards Sun Zheng, and we will no longer owe each other anything."

Qiao Ruoxi suddenly chuckled: "If you could pay a little more attention to your biological daughter, you would know that she lives a life worse than pigs and dogs in Qiaojia Town."

Chen Qin's body suddenly stopped.

"Are you heartbroken already? You might not know that your daughter, Qiao Ruoxi, died long before the Qiao couple came looking for you."

"What?!" Chen Qin's face turned pale and she looked at Qiao Ruoxi in disbelief.

"The Qiao family is worried that Qiao Ruoxi will take away Sun Suyun's status and favor in the Shen family. They set her up to have Chinese medicine and the old man check into a hotel. They plan to film a video and send it to your Shen family to make you and Old Madam Shen completely disappointed in Qiao Ruoxi."

Hearing this, Chen Qin's face turned even paler.

"You're saying you didn't receive any video at all, right? Do you know why?"

"Because at that time, Qiao Ruoxi died from a drug overdose, and I am a spirit she summoned to fulfill her unfulfilled wish."

Chen Qin's legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

Qiao Ruoxi was also surprised for a moment at this moment. She wanted to tell Pei Yaozhou everything before, but she couldn't say it out loud. However, facing Chen Qin, she told it all.

The force that had held her back seemed to disappear.

Qiao Ruoxi had no more worries and told everything.

"Qiao Ruoxi believed until her death that her biological mother would seek justice for her. Her spirit followed me back to the home she longed for, where she met you and her biological brother."

"But you defended Sun Suyun and ruthlessly drove her out."

At this moment, Chen Qin's face looked ashen.

She finally understood why she felt subconsciously afraid when facing the girl in front of her, because her biological daughter was no longer in this world, and she had killed her with her own hands.

Die with eyes open!

"Qiao Ruoxi will never hear those words you just said again in her lifetime. I have no right to forgive you on behalf of your daughter. All I can do is tell you the truth."

After saying this, Chen Qin covered her face and burst into tears.

Hearing this heart-wrenching cry, Qiao Ruoxi felt a pain in her heart as if it were being stabbed by needles for some reason.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"I'm sorry, Mom owes you an apology. I shouldn't have abandoned you!" Chen Qin called out to Qiao Ruoxi.

The mood that had just calmed down became turbulent again. Qiao Ruoxi felt a pain in her nose and a hot tear fell.

She touched her cheeks, but she couldn't tell whether those were her tears or the original owner's tears.

"Live well in the days ahead. After all, this is one of your daughter's last wishes." Qiao Ruoxi's throat moved, and after saying this, she turned around and left without looking at Chen Qin.

With a creaky sound, Qiao Ruoxi pushed open the door.

The scene before her made her stop in her tracks.

Old Mrs. Shen came at some point, holding a bowl of sweet soup in her hand. She stood there motionless with a pale face, as if she had been cast under a spell.

Qiao Ruoxi's heart tightened slightly, and she called out, "Grandma."

In the end, everything that does not belong to her must be returned.

Old Mrs. Shen seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She wiped the tears that remained on her face and handed the sweet soup in her hand to Qiao Ruoxi with a smile.

"I heard from Lao Liao that Xiaoqin called you back again. The kitchen just made some sweet soup. Have a bowl before you leave!"

Qiao Ruoxi took the sweet soup but didn't drink it. Instead, she handed it to Liao Bo who was also shocked.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you. I've kept this Millennium Tear for long enough, and it's time to return it to you." As she spoke, Qiao Ruoxi took off the pendant that had been hanging around her neck with her cold hands.

When handing it to Old Lady Shen, she suddenly held Qiao Ruoxi's hand, shook her head, and her eyes were more serious than ever.

"Silly child, I don't care what others think, but in grandma's heart, you are my granddaughter, my only granddaughter!"

A warmth wrapped her tightly, and her mood, which had calmed down, was stirred up again.

Unexpectedly, there is still a place for her in this world.

A drop of clear tear fell on the thousand-year-old teardrop, and a faint light flashed for a moment in the crystal clear pendant.

Old Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment.

In her previous life, Qiao Ruoxi had abundant spiritual power and was used to seeing all kinds of shiny magic weapons. However, when she thought about it carefully, she had never seen a glowing treasure since she came here. This was the first time.

Old Mrs. Shen looked at Qiao Ruoxi, then at the thousand-year-old tear, her hands shaking constantly.

"I heard from my grandmother that this Millennium Tear is a treasure that has been passed down in the Shen family for a thousand years. Only the Shen family members who shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world can light up this pendant."

"I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true. Ruoxi, you are indeed a member of our Shen family. Your arrival is not accidental!"

At this point, Mrs. Shen's eyes showed a hint of worry: "But grandma just hopes that you can live a peaceful and stable life..."

Qiao Ruoxi held the Millennium Tear in her palm and faintly felt a spiritual power flowing.

She was very familiar with this spiritual power. It was not her spiritual power in this life, but came from her previous life!
