Chapter 522: 522: I Will Find the Truth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You are indeed the child whom I found. The child who I gave birth to in that place died as soon as she was born. It was because of her death that I became depressed and wanted to drown myself. Then, I found you abandoned by the river. The only reason why I jumped into it was to save your life. I had just lost my own child, but I decided to save you. With the fast current, I used all of my energy to bring us back to the sh.o.r.e. This was also why I got sick for the rest of my life and also the reason why Xiao Lu and Xiao Jie were deformed when they were born. One of them is suffering from heart disease and the other has autism.
“I saved you but harmed my own children. Now that you got married into a wealthy family, don’t you think that you should help the family solve its problem? Don’t you think that as a daughter and a sister, you should be doing something about this?
“You were the one who dated Qin Yi and also the one that got us into this trouble. Your father thought that the both of you had a stable relations.h.i.+p, so he ended up investing 100 million into Qin Yi’s business. Oh… But now that you’ve ended things with him, we are the ones who should suffer instead? Moreover, our house has been destroyed. The only place that we could find now was a small house of 169 square feet. The couple isn’t someone that your father and I can deal with. If you don’t get help from the Zhan family, no one would be able to do it otherwise!
“Also, we refuse to stay in such a small house, but now, the houses around cost about a few million. You are to settle this problem as well!”
Jing Xuean has already reminded her a couple of times to not mention buying a new house and told her to only relay the situation about their house that had been destroyed, in order to get Jing Qian’s sympathy. But, as Mother Jing continued speaking to Jing Qian, she lost control and told the latter about wanting a new house.
Jing Qian stared at Cheng Shuyu who was acting as if she deserved all these. She laughed and said, “You should be considered a beauty in your younger days, and with your acting skills, why didn’t you apply for H City Drama School? Why did you end up being a surrogate?”
This sentence immediately reb.u.t.ted Cheng Shuyu’s story of how her daughter died as soon as she was born.
Cheng Shuyu froze.
“Ever since I was a little girl, you have been using Jing Lu and Jing Jie against me. I have never said a single thing, but I think that you should learn a few basic medical knowledge. You may be the one who saved me, and it may have destroyed your immune system, but it isn’t the reason why Jing Lu has a heart condition and why Jing Jie has autism. Both of them had a congenital condition, which meant that there is something wrong with your gene. It has nothing to do with me. As for you, you’re someone who had never fallen sick in years, but you’re telling me that your immune system was destroyed? Did you really think that I’m a fool?”
Cheng Shuyu didn’t know what to say.
“You are a woman who became a surrogate for 500 thousand yuan. There was an incident in the earlier days where it cost a worker’s life. The worker’s kid was supposed to be sent to the orphanage, and you were supposed to pay compensation for the family. However, both of you insisted that you would take the kid in and take care of it. In the end, you abandoned the child in a village and even took the money for your own use. You’re telling me that you are the woman who saved my life? You brought me home, gave me food? Did you really think that I’m stupid? Gullible? Or did you a.s.sume that I was someone who was easily persuaded?”
Jing Qian said all these in a calm manner with no emotions, but each and every sentence pierced through Cheng Shuyu’s heart.
Her face was flushed with anger after hearing what Jing Qian said, but she didn’t know what else to say.
Seeing how she had nothing else to say, Jing Qian concluded their conversation.
“I will find out which family I belonged to and how I ended up in yours.”
