Xia Yangyang looked at her in disbelief: “What did you say?”
Liu Ruyan strode in, her usual warmth and gentleness nowhere to be found. Her voice had become sarcastic and sharp: “I said that Tan Zhen had it coming, she brought it on herself.”
“I won’t let you insult my mother!”
Xia Yangyang was on the brink of fury.
My mother has been dead for ten years, why is she still being insulted by this woman who caused her death?
“Your mother was mired in scandal and attacked from all sides. In the end, she killed herself out of shame. That has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Xia Yangyang had no idea what this woman was talking about.
But every word from Liu Ruyan’s mouth was utterly repugnant.
Xia Yangyang regained a shred of calm: “You better explain yourself clearly, or, even though you are my elder, I will not let this go.”
Liu Ruyan wanted to say something.
However, she was abruptly silenced by Xia Liangdong’s roar: “Shut up! Don’t say those things in front of the child.”
Liu Ruyan was also furious.
“Why can’t I say it, all these years, have I ever wronged your daughter? I treated her like my own daughter, gave her the best of everything, yet all I get is a mention of that woman, Xia Liangdong, haven’t I suffered enough for all these years? Today, I will speak out. I, Liu Ruyan, won’t swallow this injustice.”
Xia Liangdong was also livid.
But he couldn’t stop Liu Ruyan at all.
Liu Ruyan spelled it out: “Your mother set up the Chenyu Angel Charity Fund in the name of charity, but she embezzled the donations intended for disaster-stricken children for her own use. When she was found out, she killed herself out of shame. What does her death have to do with me? When I was young, following your father was also because we truly loved each other. But for ten years, I never disrupted his family. I gave ten years of my life without regrets, raising children for this man, in return for what? In the end, you’re still blaming her death on me, I won’t take the blame for this murder. Am I, Liu Ruyan, so easily bullied?”
Xia Yangyang refused to accept it: “You’re lying, you’re lying, my mother would never do that.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t believe, even if it killed her she wouldn’t believe.
My mother is such a kind woman.
She always did charity, helping the children in the orphanage, gaining respect from everyone.
She changed the fate of so many children, even Chen Yu was one of the benefactors.
She absolutely didn’t believe her mother could have done this kind of thing.
Liu Ruyan sneered: “Even though it’s been ten years, the incident involved political corruption, so the news was suppressed by the government. But it is a well-known scandal in the entertainment circle. If you dig, you can still find traces from the information ten years ago. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate yourself, and see if any of my words are false!”
Xia Yangyang’s eyes were red and her whole body was trembling.
Xia Liangdong immediately came over and grabbed Liu Ruyan’s arm: “I told you to shut up, Yangyang is just a child, why should she have to bear this?”
Liu Ruyan fought back: “So she should bear it instead? She’s an adult now, and certain things, she should bear them. Her mother was a hypocritical do-gooder, and she got what she deserved…”
A loud smack resounded as Xia Liangdong slapped Liu Ruyan’s face..
