"Sorry. But we cannot open the gate. Those were elder Song"s orders"
One of the security men at the Song mansion"s gate said to Hani who had come to inquire about why the gate was still locked even after they saw that Miss Changyu wanted to go in.
After Hani relayed the message to Changyu, she frowned in displeasure.
It was not like she wanted to see her ex-parents faces either.
She was already tired of seeing their evil faces but there was nothing she could do about it since she had questions and also a present for them.
After Hani and herself finished speaking in the afternoon, she came to a conclusion that her parents did not deserve to go scot-free after all they had done.
She did not want to start talking about the ones she was not aware of. But the ones she was aware of was more that enough to send them to prison. She wanted them to be punished for every single crime they have committed. She was going to punish them on behalf of every human they have wronged so far.
"Those were the elders orders not to open the gate?" She asked Hani with a scoff.
Another reason she had come here was because she wanted to transfer a bit of aggression to them, plus she wanted to check whether they knew the teenagers who had carried her daughter from Happy Ending Orphanage.
She figured it was better to start doing something instead of sulking inside all day. And after coming here, they did not want to let her on? They wished!
"Let them know that if the gate is not opened in three seconds..... Tell them that." She waved off Hani.
Her threats were even more frightening when no one knew what she was going to do to them if they disobeyed.
As Hani went to deliver the message, she saw one of them was already in a call, probably calling the elders to inform them of her sudden visit with a Police van behind her Lexus.
"If you open the gate, you may be losing only your job. But if you do not.... You are going to lose more than just your job. It is a certainty. Trust me"
Hani gave them a "friendly advise" in her usual stoic tone.
After pa.s.sing the message across to them, obvious fear appeared on their faces and all they could do was to obey her orders whether or not the elders permitted.
They had heard of how ruthless Changyu was once offended. Although they had not seen it with their own eyes, they did not want to present themselves as the scapegoat.
They had been a bit skeptical when they saw a police van behind Changyu"s Lexus. But now, they had no choice. They may also be obstructing the Justice and they did not want to be held responsible for that also.
"Smart choice" Hani muttered when she saw they were already opening the large gate.
Changyu closed her eyes and remained quiet until they finally arrived in front of the mansion.
When the got there, they all saw the Song elders were already waiting outside while looking nervous. They also also saw her younger sister, Song Ling, standing there.
Both parents looked obviously frightened when they saw her step down from the car and walk towards them.
They had warned the gatemen to never open the gate for her.
After what they went through in her hands the other time, they were no longer looking forward to her visit because they did not know what else she would be doing to them.
"What are you doing here?" Song Ling asked in anger when she saw Changyu.
She still remembered how Changyu had treated their parents like they were common criminals and she was never going to forgive her.
"You should leave now. If you offend me, it"s not too late to dig into you and also get you arrested." Changyu warned with glazed eyes.
Although she had tried to make her self look a bit good before coming out, they all could easily tell she looked really dull.
She wore a simple brown coat, black pants and a black boot heel. Unlike her usual self, she was not adorned in jewelries neither did she use any other thing on her face except for powder. Even her always neatly arranged her was now tied in a loose bun.
When the elders and her sister saw the police come out from their van, they widened their eyes in shock.
"Changyu what are you doing again? Have you not done enough already?" Her mother broke down in tears and asked sadly.
"Enough? I have done enough? Think about what you have done. Think about the families you have wronged! It is only appropriate for you to pay for your crimes; embezzlement, murder, oppression, a.s.sault, blackmail—"
"Stop it! What kind of a daughter are you? First, you cut us all off and locked up your parents like criminals and now you even bring the police to arrest them? Don"t you have shame?" Her sister yelled at her with red eyes.
"If I hear one more word from your mouth, you will join them I promise you." Changyu promised her with a cold expression before she turned to look at the people that had brought her there.
There were two things she hated: One was noisiness, while the other was interruption.
Not only was Song Ling being noisy, she was also interrupting her and now, Changyu was already losing her patience.
Her mother was still in tears while her father looked lifeless. He was neither saying a thing nor reacting to anything.
"I even gave you a chance to apologize to the w.a.n.gs yet you did nothing. You think you can climb higher when I am still alive?"
"Changyu please... We are your parents. We have wronged you. We did that to the boy you liked and your child also. But please, we brought you into this world. If we had not, you would not have met them. Please consider this and let us be."
"You act all high and mighty to the weak yet look at you now. How could you? How could you do all of that? Why did you meet the w.a.n.gs? Why did you ask his innocent mother to kneel? Why did you never tell me that he came everyday? Why did you ask him to swear never to see me again? How could you do this to me? How could you do all of that to someone you called your daughter?"
She seemed to have cried every single drop of tears the previous night because now, there was nothing left for her to cry.
She would have been better if there were things around for her to smach but there was nothing so she simply asked them with cold eyes and folded arms.
Though she looked cold and calm, everyone could see how broken she was and most of them were also confused.
The police chief felt this was not their time to come in so he and the others went to wait in their Van.
Hani and Driver Yen also had curious expression on their faces. Although they knew something had happened between her and Jianjun w.a.n.g in the past, they did not know her parents had interfered that much.
The one who looked totally confused was her Song Ling.
She was completely lost. But no one was interested in helping her clear things. And she also had no choice but to quietly look at them. She believed her sister would take up her own case if she p.i.s.sed her off and she was not a saint either.
"We are sorry Changyu. We are really sorry." Her mother knelt down with both her palms pressed together as she begged her but Changyu continued to look at her coldly.
"I have two questions." She did not wait for them to give her a go-ahead before she began to ask.
"Do you know where my baby is?"
Madam Song shook her head vigorously. "I don"t know. We really don"t know. That is all we know about your child."
"Child?" Her sister looked at them in confusion but everyone still ignored her like she did not exist.
Changyu closed her eyes in sadness and frustration, and said nothing. She believed her parents were likely not going to lie to her now so she went on to ask the second question.
"Twenty Six years ago, none of my letters got to Jianjun w.a.n.g. Did you have a hand in it?"
Her mother"s eyes twitched and she unconsciously looked at her husband"s direction.
Elder Song who had been quiet the entire time finally said something..
"We only asked the little girl to do it for the family. I am sorry daughter."
Changyu looked at them with red eyes. She knew it. It was them again. They had been involved also!
"Little girl? Was it Jin Helene, the lady who worked for the w.a.n.g family?"
Sara did not get home on time. The traffic had been really terrible that she spent close to two hours on the road before getting home around past Six in the evening.
After she got home, she freshened up and was served a late lunch by her father. Unlike what Joreen had mentioned, his daughter did not look dull or lifeless. But he still wanted to know what had happened to her and apologize for being insensitive.
"What happened? You looked dull this morning." Jianjun, who was sitting opposite her, asked her as she ate.
"I wanted to ask you same. I am glad you look better. Have you spoken to Aunt?" She ignored his question and asked hers.
When she went to freshen up earlier, she had seen her aunt quietly lying on the bed like she was asleep but she knew she was not sleeping. She did not want to bother her so she left her to go eat and speak with her father.
They had not talked much before they heard a loud knock on their door. They wondered who it was that was frantically knocking and so Jianjun offered to go open it while Sara and Joreen stayed behind to see who it was.
When he looked through the peephole and saw the person standing there, he was slightly taken aback before he opened it to ask Changyu why she was there.
Sara and Joreen"s eyes widened when they saw Changyu standing there while panting heavily. They guessed it must have been the effect of the stairs she had climbed up here.
Changyu scanned the room and her eyes fell on Sara and Joreen who were both looking at her in surprise.
She then caught sight of Cixi coming out of the room.
She had also come to check who it was that had been knocking like that and was really shocked to see Changyu standing there.
When Changyu"s eyes landed on her, she took large strides to stand in front of her.
"Joreen?" Changyu called with her gaze still fixed on Cixi.
Joreen answered in surprise as she wondered why pretty Changyu was calling her.
"Turn around and close your ears" She said with a dark expression on her face as she continued to look at Cixi.
Joreen did not know why she was given such orders but she did exactly that.
"What do you think you are —" Before Cixi could complete her sentence, Changyu gave her a hot slap on her face.
"You crazy piece of s.h.i.+t!"
As Sara and Jianjun watched in horror, they saw her raise her hand again and landed another slap on Cixi"s face.
