Chapter 476: Chapter 470: Strangled to Death
If she dared say so, and truly mean it, she would immediately jump out of the window.
She would rather kill herself than believe Sang Zhilan’s sweet lies.
This woman had been deceiving her for a lifetime.
She said, “Yuxin, this isn’t very good. Mom will make you something better. Give this one to your little sister instead.”
She said, “Yuxin, what’s so great about the second school? You can go to the third school and even go to school with your little sister.”
She said, “Yuxin, why bother attending college? Mom can find you a job, and you can start earning money right away.”
...
She said, “Yuxin, your house is lonely with just you in it. Why not let your sister live with you? It’s always good to have someone else around. At least this way, when you’re at work or working overtime and Yong’an comes home, your sister will be there to help take care of him.”
Yes, the help did come, and it went right into the bed. The younger sister slept with the brother-in-law and even bore a child. Still, Sang Zhilan didn’t think there was anything wrong with her daughter.
Now, Tang Yuxin finally understands – there’s nothing wrong with how she raised her daughter. It’s been Sang Zhilan all along.
The crooked beam was bent because the one in charge was twisted in the first place. It might have been because she inherited Tang Zhinian’s naive and plebeian nature, but even though she grew up under such circumstances, she never strayed. She continued to be a virtuous and upright person living an unassuming life. And yet, other people had their sights on her.
So, is it fun to pick on the innocent?
“You... agreed?”
Sang Zhilan was still finding it hard to believe.
“Are you surprised that I agreed so readily?” Tang Yuxin put her hair up. Now, in her white lab coat, she looked more and more like a doctor. If her father could see her now, he would be proud. Finally, they had a real doctor in their family – her.
Obviously, Sang Zhilan wanted to know why Tang Yuxin had agreed so readily. Because she did, something felt off.
Tang Yuxin took off her hair tie again. It didn’t feel satisfactory.
She had her eyes fixed on Sang Zhilan, catching her disbelief then her relief, but nothing else.
Indeed, this was someone else’s mother.
“Don’t worry,” She didn’t feel like arguing with this mother-daughter duo anymore, “I agreed mainly because I don’t want to see you two anymore. After this matter is resolved, stop bothering me. We are all sensible people here; let’s not go back on our words.”
Sang Zhilan’s face looked as if she had been slapped.
“Yuxin... I...”
“I know what you want to say.” Tang Yuxin cut her off, “You’re going to claim once again that you’re my mother. But let’s not forget what you said when you forced me to save him. You said you disowned me and cut off all ties. I’m aware of that.” There was no need to spare Sang Zhilan’s pride now. Tang Yuxin adjusted her hair again, and was now satisfied. Her voice was indifferent.
“Wei Jiani is your daughter. Don’t let this become an excuse for me to threaten you. Your family can’t take that kind of disgrace.”
Sang Zhilan’s face was a kaleidoscope of emotions. The girl in front of her, with bright eyes and pearly teeth, clear and exquisite, looked like a demon in her eyes, a demon she had given birth to. She hadn’t given birth to a daughter; she had given birth to an enemy.
“You’re thinking ‘If I knew you would turn out this way, I should have strangled you the moment you were born,’ aren’t you?” Tang Yuxin knew that look on Sang Zhilan’s face only too well. ‘I should have strangled you at birth’ she had heard those words far too often.
