"Please don’t hurt my daughter, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, isn’t that enough?" Mrs. Cheng’s spirit crumbled; she couldn’t bear to watch her daughter be tormented.
At worst, she could just point to someone. No matter what, they had to get through this hurdle first.
Thinking , Mrs. Cheng directly said, "That person is my daughter’s good friend, surname Jiang, called Jiang Xue."
"What?" Old Jiang’s expression changed, and Jiang Xue’s name struck his mind like a thunderbolt, leaving him dizzy.
Jiang Xue again, how could it be? How could it possibly be her? No, impossible, Mrs. Cheng must be lying to him.
Old Jiang refused to believe it, that Jiang Yun’s child would be the same Jiang Xue. Instinctively, he rejected this idea, believing that Mrs. Cheng was deceiving him.
"Mrs. Cheng, if you don’t tell the truth now, are you really not planning to care about your daughter?" Old Jiang’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant, and his gaze became more intense.
When Cheng Li heard Jiang Xue’s name, her expression also turned sour. She had proudly flaunted herself to Jiang Xue before. But if Jiang Xue was truly someone from the Jiang Family, wouldn’t she be slapping her own face?
With this thought, Cheng Li immediately reminded Mrs. Cheng, saying, "Mom, don’t speak recklessly, there must be factual evidence."
Upon hearing her daughter’s reminder, how could Mrs. Cheng not know what she was thinking? But with the situation urgent, she couldn’t care for much else. Moreover, in the nearby villages, there was only Jiang Xue around Cheng Li’s age who was adopted.
Because, back then, everyone in the town knew about the Jiang Mingfeng couple’s inability to have children, and this was why she dared to mention it.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, the fact that Jiang Xue was adopted was undeniable.
Thinking , Mrs. Cheng hastily said, "I’m not speaking recklessly, how could I? It’s truly Jiang Xue. If you don’t believe me, investigate, you’ll definitely find out."
Even if Cheng Li being a fake could be uncovered, how much easier would it be for Jiang Xue. No matter how fast the other side investigates, they could at least get through this for now.
Once they get past this, and Old Jiang’s people go to investigate Jiang Xue, they could think of a way to escape.
With these thoughts, Mrs. Cheng felt even more that she was doing the right thing. Her expression became increasingly calm and sincere.
Old Jiang looked deeply at Mrs. Cheng, having no choice but to temporarily believe her. Yet, the thought of that person being Jiang Xue made him instinctively reject it.
"I’ll temporarily believe you. Let’s go!" Old Jiang looked at Mrs. Cheng deeply, his gaze full of threat. His meaning was clear, they better not cause trouble, or else they’d bear the consequences.
Old Jiang left, and before leaving, as Mrs. Cheng expected, he left Cheng Li behind. The mother and daughter were locked together in the room.
After Old Jiang left, Cheng Li looked at Mrs. Cheng with dissatisfaction, saying, "Now, look at what you’ve done, are you satisfied?"
"Xiao Li, what choice do I have? If I had known you’d be found out so quickly, I wouldn’t have lied no matter what." This update ıs available on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Hearing this, Cheng Li got angry again and said, "It’s all because of your incompetence. If you had married a rich man, I wouldn’t be in this situation today."
"Yes, yes, it’s my fault. I’ve made you suffer, Xiao Li."
"Enough, saying these things is useless. Let’s think about how we can get out of here." Cheng Li looked at Mrs. Cheng impatiently; she had heard these words countless times, her ears were numb to them.
