She asked indifferently, "Who are you, and why are you calling my name?"
Mother An clearly hadn’t expected her daughter’s attitude to be so cold.
She looked at Song Tian sitting coldly in her wheelchair, a hint of haughtiness between her brows, which made her somewhat uneasy.
Clutching the corner of her clothing with her hand, it took Mother An a long time before she finally spoke, "...Tiantian, I am your mom."
She gazed earnestly at this daughter she hadn’t seen for sixteen years, her eyes reddening.
"Mom?" Song Tian appeared to be provoked by the word. She sneered, "My mother is the top-tier jewelry designer, Mrs. Bai Baoyin. Who are you, then?"
Mother An, hearing this, thought her daughter was unaware of the mix-up at birth. She explained anxiously, "No...no, you’re not the Song’s daughter, I am your mom. You and An Qinyu were just switched at the hospital, that’s all."
What Song Tian hated the most at that moment was anyone claiming she was not the Song Family’s daughter.
She shouted, "Enough!"
Looking at the couple before her who claimed to be her biological parents, she said coldly, "Since the mistake was made back then, it suggests that this is the fate meant for An Qinyu and me! Since it’s been wrong for so many years now, why can’t you let it be true? And why, after sixteen years, did you come looking for me?"
Mother An was shaken as she looked at her. She had thought of many scenarios before coming; she wondered if her daughter might feel the same nervousness and anticipation she felt about meeting her biological parents, maybe even feel strange and awkward. She never expected such determined rejection, to the point where her daughter didn’t even want to recognize her and her father!
Her heart chilled, she looked at Song Tian with a sorrowful gaze and spoke haltingly, "But... the Song Family already knows who their real daughter is."
Seeing her mention this again, Song Tian felt that the woman was doing it on purpose. By repeating it over and over, she meant to tell her, Song Tian, that she was nothing more than a sparrow that had ascended to the branch of a phoenix. The affluent life for the past sixteen years was nothing but stolen. Now, the true phoenix had returned, and she would soon be relegated to her original status.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she picked up something from beside her and threw it at the two of them: "Get out, get far away from me! Who is your daughter? I am Song Tian! Daughter of the Song Family! Not some member of the An Family!"
Mother An watched in disbelief as her daughter made it absolutely clear with her actions how much she despised them, throwing things and showing contempt and estrangement in their eyes.
Unable to help herself, she covered her mouth and cried out: Why did it have to be ? Her own daughter, whom she had once done wrong for the sake of a better life, now refused to recognize them.
Outside, Mother Song quietly left.
She had originally come out of concern that Song Tian might feel embarrassed with her parents around, but she hadn’t expected to overhear such a conversation.
Even though she wasn’t happy about it, these were, after all, her daughter’s biological parents. How could Tiantian become ?
In the room, Mr. An, who had been silent all along, suddenly reached out and grasped his wife’s hand. His gaze towards their daughter was also distinctly unfamiliar, "Yu Feng, let’s go. She wants to be the noble lady, and we can’t give her what she desires."
As a man, he wasn’t as emotional as his wife. Therefore, his vision was far more penetrating than hers.
