Chapter 104 The greatest compensation you can give me is to stop disturbing my life
This time we arrived at Dong's house smoothly. Coincidentally, Commander Dong was having a physical examination at home as usual and did not go to the military headquarters.
As the best surgeon in the city hospital, Dong Yinglang naturally drew blood for the family. He was very happy to see Chen Mianmian come in.
"Hello Mianmian, I'm your uncle. I'm sorry I didn't see you last time. I hope you're not angry."
Dong Yinglang saw that Chen Mianmian looked so much like his own sister, and felt very kind to her. He felt sorry that he only had two sons and couldn't even give birth to a daughter.
Chen Mianmian curled her lips slightly, smiled politely, and looked at Dong Jingwu.
"I came here to return the favor this time."
After saying that, Su Buyan placed Chen Mianmian's box on the coffee table.
After opening it, there was not only a brand new pistol, but also fifty rounds of ammunition.
Not only that, ten gold bars, some gold and silver jewelry, various canned meats, etc., are worth more than what they gave last time.
"Mianmian, what do you mean?"
Dong Jingwu's face looked a little bad, and there was a hint of sadness when he looked at Chen Mianmian.
His granddaughter is distancing herself from him.
"Chen Mianmian, what are you going to do?"
Dong Qingqiu was very happy when she heard that Chen Mianmian was coming, but when she saw these things, her smile quickly collapsed.
The voices became sharper.
"Nothing, we're not very familiar with each other, and I felt a little uneasy accepting those things, so I just gave them as a return gift."
After Chen Mianmian finished speaking, she took out a small bundle from the box. When she opened it, there were twenty gold bars inside, which was enough to cover the value of the two large boxes that Dong Qingqiu gave her.
"Logically, you are Chen Mianmian's elders, so I accepted it, but I don't like owing favors to strangers. These should be enough to buy the things you gave me."
After saying this, the dozen or so people in the huge living room fell silent.
Dong Qingqiu was so angry that she was out of breath. Her eyes were red as she looked at her own daughter who could say such cold words.
"Mianmian, if you do this, Mom will be sad!"
Wen Jianye saw that the atmosphere was tense and wanted to ease it, but Chen Mianmian tilted her head and looked at him.
"Mom? That's your mom, not my mom. I've never felt a mother's love since I was a child. Let's not talk about the deep mother-daughter relationship at this time."
There was a coldness in Chen Mianmian's eyes. She was smiling but her soul was withdrawn.
All she could think about was the suffering the original owner had gone through since childhood, as well as the heart-wrenching despair and hatred she felt when she was reborn. She had no right to give up on the poor child's past and gloss over the situation.
Wen Jianye was choked by Chen Mianmian's words and was speechless. He lowered his eyes and fell into self-blame.
Yes, he had Dong Qingqiu's maternal love for more than ten years, but Chen Mianmian had nothing. He even called her "Mom" in front of his sister.
"Jianye, don't talk to her," Dong Qingqiu snorted coldly, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "She just hates me and takes it out on you.
Chen Mianmian, I did abandon you, but I sent you a lot of things over the years. Those things added up are enough for you to eat and drink well in the countryside. I just didn't expect that the Chen family would even abuse their own children.
I was born into a high-ranking official family. Living in the countryside was not what I wanted. What's wrong with me leaving? Why do you hate me?
As soon as Dong Qingqiu finished speaking, he was pulled away by his younger brother Dong Yingwei.
"Sister, talk less," Dong Yingwei pulled Dong Qingqiu's arm and turned to look at Chen Mianmian, "Mianmian, don't be angry with your mother, she is just too sad.
She had no choice but to abandon you back then. As her daughter, please be considerate and understanding of her. We will make it up to you in the future."
Listening to what Dong Qingqiu and Dong Yingwei said, Chen Mianmian suddenly burst out laughing.
The laughter grew louder and louder until she cried.
Su Buyan felt a little worried when he saw Chen Mianmian's condition. He had known her for so long, but he had never seen her express such a sad mood.
The two of them were standing very close to each other, but they felt thousands of miles apart, as if Chen Mianmian would disappear in the next moment.
Su Buyan subconsciously wanted to hold Chen Mianmian's hand, but she started to undress.
"Okay, then I'll show you how to make it up to me!"
As he spoke, his coat fell down, and the men present subconsciously turned their heads and closed their eyes to avoid him, but they heard Chen Mianmian's stern shout.
"Open your eyes and look at me!"
Everyone then slowly opened their eyes and saw Chen Mianmian wearing only a vest and shorts.
Her slender arms and legs were exposed. Even though she had been recuperating for more than two months after her rebirth, she was still pitifully thin compared to girls of the same age.
The most worrying thing is that her body is covered with various wounds.
Burns, cuts, whip wounds... crisscrossed everywhere, showing what Chen Mianmian had experienced over the years.
“This…this…”
Dong Jingwu's eyes were red as he looked at Chen Mianmian's slightly trembling body, and a huge rage surged in his heart.
Damn the Chen family, they actually treated his granddaughter like this.
The others, including Su Buyan, looked at the injuries on her body and were all shocked, and then filled with heartache.
Dong Qingqiu even covered her mouth and cried. She took two steps forward and stretched out her hand to touch Chen Mianmian's body, but her hand was opened violently.
"Well, have you seen the wounds on my body? I have even more. Do you want me to take off all my clothes and show you?"
Chen Mianmian slowly put on her clothes and pants. Her bright face seemed covered with a layer of frost. The words she spoke were like sharp blades, stabbing into the hearts of the Dong family.
“You keep saying you care about me, but why haven’t I received a single cent in these 19 years?
Do you think that just because you mailed me something, I should be grateful to you and kneel down to express my gratitude? You guys say you care about me, but you haven't come to see me once because you are afraid that the Chen family will get close to you?
If you really care about me and come to the village to investigate, you will know how hard my life is."
After Chen Mianmian said this, she stared straight at Dong Qingqiu.
"And you, don't look at me like an ungrateful person. It's true that you did nothing wrong in escaping from suffering, but what did I do wrong?
Do I deserve to be ignored by you, beaten and scolded by the Chen family, humiliated by others, and strangled to death on the mountain?
Dong Qingqiu, look me in the eye and tell me, if I hadn't come looking for you, if I hadn't been so outstanding, would you have wanted to recognize me?"
Chen Mianmian's question left Dong Qingqiu speechless. She wanted to shake her head to deny it, but she was really wrong all these years.
You shouldn't deliberately ignore your daughter just because you don't want to face the humiliating past.
Before, she only saw the wounds on Chen Mianmian's arms at the door, but she didn't expect that there were so many...
"I'm sorry, Mianmian, Mommy didn't know... If I knew, I would definitely take you away too!"
Dong Qingqiu fell to the ground, crying uncontrollably. She wanted to pull Chen Mianmian's trouser legs, but was dodged.
"Hmph, if there is an if, I would rather you strangle me to death when you leave, so as to save Chen Mianmian from having to endure nineteen years of a life worse than death.
Don't even think about recognizing me. Where were you when I was being abused? Where were you when I was thrown in the snow and nearly frozen to death? Where were you when I was beaten half to death for stealing pig food?
Dong Qingqiu, don't act like an elder just because you're my mother. Chen Mianmian's life was already lost to you when Fang Youwei hired a killer.
Chen Mianmian thought that the original owner was strangled to death on the mountain and had long since cut off contact with everyone in this world.
The one alive now is a brand new Chen Mianmian.
She will no longer be bound by the blood ties of the original owner, nor will she lower herself and lose herself for that illusory love.
She will choose her own relatives in the future.
"Mianmian, it was our fault for not looking for you before. You have reason to hate us, but I hope you can give grandpa a chance and let us make it up to you."
Dong Jingwu knew that Chen Mianmian came here to make things clear this time, and it was normal for her to have hatred towards the Dong family.
Now they can only show their utmost sincerity and make it up to her.
"The greatest way for you to make amends is to stop disturbing my life. Just stay indifferent to me before and do the same now."
After Chen Mianmian finished speaking, she pulled Su Buyan and turned to leave.
Only Dong Qingqiu, crying and regretting, and the Dong family members with sad faces were left behind.
Their hearts were filled with regret and self-blame. When they thought of the marks on Chen Mianmian's body, their hearts ached.
"I'm going to Heshang Village and kill everyone in the Chen family!"
Dong Yingwei gritted his teeth and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Dong Jingwu.
"What's the point of you killing people? The most important thing now is to make up for Mianmian. I heard from Song Chuliu that she is setting up a military dog base. You should go and help her as soon as possible and do your best.
Anyone who dares to trip me up will be dealt with severely."
After Dong Jingwu finished speaking, although Dong Yingwei was unwilling, he still strode out. He would now personally build a base for his niece.
"What's the point of crying? I told you to be gentle when talking to Mianmian, but why can't you remember? Even if you act like a mother, you should think about whether you have fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother."
Dong Jingwu frowned and scolded Dong Qingqiu, then turned to look at the guard.
"Go find someone you trust and go to Heshang Village. I'm going to make the Chen family a living hell!"
