“I am sorry, but back then in the hospital, who was the one that firmly claimed that I would not live long, was a waste of money, and did not want me? Who was the one that said all these?” Little Tong Hua smiled and looked at Yang Xiaohua with evilness in his eyes.
He was only two years old back then, and his memory was long gone, but the recording of her words was still present.
When Shen Qianshu adopted Tong Hua, she brought a recording pen with her as Yang Lihua simply could not hold on and complete the procedure and, thus, could only depend on her recording pen. It also accidentally recorded Yang Xiaohua’s words in.
Back then when Shen Qianshu adopted Tong Hua, Yang Huali and her husband had their family members.
Yang Huali’s husband was called Shen Zhi, and he only had an old mother. Tong Hua’s heart was unstable and frequently needed to visit the hospital. As the old mother had no ability to afford his medical expenses, she gave up the custody rights of him.
Yang Lihua’s maiden home also gave up custody rights due to Tong Hua’s exorbitant hospital fees.
Tong Hua became an orphan.
Yang Lihua had predicted the outcome; thus, she entrusted her son to Shen Qianshu.
As the child’s body had a heart belonging to her son, Shen Qianshu could not bring herself to reject her. She even willingly gave up her studies to work and earn money for Tong Hua’s treatment.
Shen Qianshu made the arrangements for Lihua’s funeral all by herself.
When she returned back to her country, she would always bring Tong Hua to visit his grandma whenever she had the time. His grandma was an honest person and also felt very guilty. Although she missed her grandson a lot, she would not dare to disturb them too much. Ever since her son passed away, her health had not been great, and she soon passed on.
Shen Qianshu never once hid Tong Hua’s family background. She would also bring him to visit his relatives.
However, this Yang Xiaohua was simply too evil.
When she first decided to adopt Tong Hua, she was hesitant.
She was an international student and needed to study in Paris. Feeding herself was hard enough, let alone bringing up a child with heart disease.
It was enough that Yang Xiaohua did not wish to bring up Tong Hua, yet she actually ridiculed her and said that she was a fool for agreeing to adopt a sick child. She also said that Tong Hua would not survive past five years old and would die anyway. It would then be a waste of money and emotions.
Those words were not something what a kin would say at all.
Today, this person came to ask for the child.
What a joke!
Even a blind person could tell that she was doing it for the money.
“Miss Yang, you have already given up his custody rights back then. Tong Hua is no longer related to you. Please do not come and disturb him.” Shen Qianshu’s gaze was cold and icy. Coming up to claim the child just like that, she was too suspicious.
“Miss Shen, I was an undergraduate back then. I could not even support myself, how was I able to bring up Tong Hua? I had no choice but to give up his custody rights. Now that I am able to bring him up, it would be better if he can return to his kin.”
Shen Qianshu was not considered to be a good-tempered person. After all, she had been a little boss from young. These few years, she toned down her temper due to all the suffering she experienced when bringing up Tong Hua. After falling down and getting hurt in this harsh world, she learned better and experienced pain; thus, she was tamed.
Now, she only felt like going up to the woman and giving her a few slaps across her face.
Shen Qianshu said, “Young lady, in all 25 years of my life, I have never seen someone as shameless and thick-skinned as you. Yang Xiaohua, back then you could not afford to bring up Tong Hua, and did you think I could? You were an undergraduate, and was I not one too? He suffered from illnesses back then, yet you guys treated him like rubbish. I was the one who treated him preciously and brought him up. Do you know how difficult it was for Tong Hua to grow up healthily? Do you know that before he turned four, he had to visit the hospital almost every week? Do you know how much Lin Xiaojuan and I suffered for Tong Hua? The child that we finally managed to bring back from the gate of hell, you think you can just bring him away by claiming to be his kin?”
Yang Xiaohua was furious, but it was unclear whether she was ashamed or what.
Shen Qianshu laughed coldly. “Your whole outfit only costs at most two hundred dollars, what right do you have to bring up Tong Hua? Tong Hua’s annual school fee is already 250 thousand, are you able to afford it? If you are, try and throw 250 thousand dollars in my face right now!”
