Zhou Liheng's hatred for Wen Ying reached its peak. To pave the way for Shi Miao, she had even ruined Man Man's reputation. Was blood relationship really that important?
"I didn't expect Zhou Man to be this kind of person. What did Pei Ze see in her?"
"He must be blind. Or he must have been bewitched."
"Wen Ying raised her for eighteen years and never treated her unfairly. Yet, she cursed her adoptive mother for the sake of fame and fortune. Her behavior is just like her biological mother's."
The guests all expressed their deep sympathy for Wen Ying, and Zhou Man's already poor reputation was further damaged.
Zhou Yuntang wanted to speak up to defend his beloved sister, but his younger brother Zhou Liuan stopped him by covering his mouth with his hand.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Yuntang, who was dragged to the corner, complained, "Do you also think it was Manman who did it?"
Zhou Liuan took a deep breath and said, "Manman, of course, wouldn't do this. Have you forgotten what Dad told you?"
Zhou Yuntang wasn't a complete idiot. He immediately recalled what his father had said before, and his face turned pale and then pale. "You mean, Dad designed it?"
For years, Zhou Liheng had been portraying them as a loving couple at home, and Zhou Yuntang had long believed it. Now, suddenly realizing that his father, for his own ends, would even curse his mother behind her back, was a huge blow to him. Even though he had some resentment towards his mother, he didn't want to see her hurt.
Zhou Liuan looked at Zhou Liheng and felt that his loving father looked so strange now.
Zhou Liheng didn't know what his son was thinking. Listening to the gossip, he felt extremely resentful. "Aying, Manman is not that kind of person."
Wen Ying had a cold smile on her face. "If it's not her, could it be you?"
Her pointed words made Zhou Liheng's face change drastically. Having his secret exposed, he said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? We are husband and wife, and you actually doubt me?"
Wen Ying had originally been only 70% certain, but seeing his guilty expression, as if someone had been caught in a sore spot, she suddenly felt 100% certain. For her adopted daughter, she attacked her own partner... Tao Xiaran, Zhou Liheng and Zhou Man's biological mother, might not be innocent. Was Liheng truly completely clueless about Miaomiao's baby swap? Her blood type is A, Zhou Liheng's is AB, and Manman's is actually O. Yet Manman's annual medical reports stated she was AB. Without his instructions, how could anyone at the hospital have the audacity to tamper with the information?
The more she investigated, the more her seemingly fulfilling life seemed like a complete mess.
Wen Ying didn't even look at Zhou Liheng, and said to the guests, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself today."
The guests' eyes sparkled as they all tried to comfort Wen Ying.
"Your biological daughter has now been successfully found. Your good days are still ahead."
"That's right. If I had a daughter like Shiyou Miao, I would laugh out loud in my dreams."
Some people also asked about the whereabouts of Zhou Man’s biological mother.
Wen Ying had also called the police, but Tao Xiaran had been missing for years, and she had no idea what her current situation was. The only thing she knew for sure was that she could no longer appear openly in public.
On the other hand, since Shan Jukai was not dead, they couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so they sent him to the hospital and called the police.
Since Wen Ying had already made her daughter's identity public, today's banquet had achieved its purpose, so after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the banquet ended.
The guests went home with expressions of satisfaction, ready to share the melons they had enjoyed tonight with their friends and family. They would definitely come to any future banquets held by the Zhou and Wen families! With fresh melons to eat every time, they felt like wild animals in a melon field, as happy as gods.
The guests left, but the Wen family did not leave and stayed.
Zhou Liheng was in a terrible mood because things hadn't gone as he'd hoped. He retreated to his study, pondering his next steps. Because Wen Ying was fine tonight and Shan Jukai had been struck by lightning, no one believed his hard-earned belief in Zhou Man's good fortune. Instead, Zhou Man was slammed with mud.
Zhou Yun's cousins also followed him into the room, and Zhou Liu'an said straight to the point, "Dad, it was you who arranged for Shan Jukai, right?"
Under his son's gaze, Zhou Liheng was unable to utter all the excuses he had in mind. He felt guilty, and then he said confidently, "I just hope Manman can stay. It's your mother who is too cruel to Manman."
"After all, Manman has called her mom for more than ten years. Doesn't she have any motherly feelings for her?" When he said this, he became more and more heartbroken and felt very sorry for Manman.
Zhou Yuntang frowned, "Even so, you can't find someone to curse Mom."
Zhou Liheng naturally couldn't tell the truth about this matter. "I just wanted Master Shan to scare her. I just wanted your mother to be in a coma for a few days. It won't cause any harm to her health."
"Manman is such a pitiful child. You brothers have seen the faces of the guests tonight. If I don't do this, she won't be able to stay in the circle. I just want to protect Manman. Am I wrong?"
Zhou Liuan frowned, "But Dad, you can't joke about Mom's health."
Zhou Liheng curled his lips. "Unless something happens to your mother, she won't change her mind, and your two uncles won't compromise. Or, can you come up with a better solution?"
Now that his plan had failed, he could only look for another opportunity. Thinking of this, Zhou Liheng became even more depressed.
"You're not planning on telling your mother, are you?" Zhou Liheng asked, but he was actually confident they wouldn't tell him, otherwise they wouldn't have asked him privately. He saw clearly that in the hearts of his two sons, Manman held a much higher position than Shi Miao. Only Wen Ying, that vulgar person, only considered blood ties, not feelings. She was a cold-blooded monster.
