“It seems like Zhong Qianqian is the only daughter in the Zhong family, right? If something happens to your family, you should look for your daughter, Zhong Qianqian. Why are you looking for me?”
After saying that, Zhong Nuannuan sank into the car.
She was about to close the car door when Jiang Shuwan pulled the door back.
Jiang Shuwan was utterly enraged now. No matter how much preparation she gave herself, it was not sufficient for her to handle Zhong Nuannuan’s single line.
“Zhong Nuannuan, you’ve crossed the line! How dare you say something like that? Then, why didn’t you deny your father when he helped you tell Qianqian off for you? Now that something has happened to him, you claim that we’re not your parents? You’re heartless! I don’t care! You must do all that you can to save your father. Otherwise, I’ll go to the military base and your school to defame you. I’ll let everyone around you know that you’re an ingrate!”
Zhong Nuannuan did not take Jiang Shuwan’s words to heart, nor was she in a hurry to close the car door. Instead, she replied indifferently, “You can do that, but… don’t blame me for telling everyone how you abandoned me for the human traffickers… and all the unspeakable things that you’ve done.”
Initially, Jiang Shuwan still looked like reason was on her side, confident that today would be the day she faced Zhong Nuannuan head-on. Nevertheless, her face turned pale when she heard what Zhong Nuannuan said.
Since she never expected that, Jiang Shuwan was terrified.
She was terrified out of her wits.
“What… What do you mean?”
If it were not for the fact that Jiang Shuwan’s hand was still on the door, she would not have been able to stand on her own the moment her knees went weak.
Zhong Nuannuan beamed and said, “I mean what I said. So… think about it carefully?”
With that, Zhong Nuannuan slammed the door shut.
“Let’s go.”
The driver was a foreigner and the Duke’s bodyguard. Upon receiving Zhong Nuannuan’s order, he nodded respectfully. “Yes!”
The Maybach slowly drove away, and Jiang Shuwan collapsed on her bottom on the side of the sheltered pavement. She watched with a pair of terrified eyes as the Maybach rolled away.
What did Zhong Nuannuan know?
How could Zhong Nuannuan remember the process of her abandoning her?
Even if she remembered the whole process, what secrets would she know?
Also, what did she mean by ‘those unspeakable things’?
What did she know?
Heavens!
Could it be that Zhong Nuannuan investigated her after realizing that she had been mistreated?
Did Zhong Nuannuan find out that Jiang Shuwan was not her biological mother?
How much did she know?
By the time Qianqian returned to her ‘true’ family, would Zhong Nuannuan recall that she was Pu Yu’s daughter and ruin Qianqian?
Heavens!
This was too scary!
What could she do?
All of a sudden, Jiang Shuwan gave herself a loud and crisp slap.
That was because the extreme and maniacal regret in her heart started pouring out.
Jiang Shuwan finally understood why Zhong Kuijun kept yelling at her and calling her stupid.
She recalled that when Zhong Nuannuan first returned home, Zhong Nuannuan was still full of admiration and respect for her. When did she change?
The answer she sought seemed to be the period of time after Nuannuan was released from prison. It was during that time that Jiang Shuwan had always been biased toward Qianqian. Since Jiang Shuwan did not treat Zhong Nuannuan nicely, Zhong Nuannuan changed.
So, was that the moment Zhong Nuannuan decided to investigate Jiang Shuwan?
How much did she investigate?
Jiang Shuwan regretted her rashness more than anything in this world.
If she could maintain the image of a good mother like before, would she have spared herself the nightmare that happened today?
