Chapter 126: A Vicious Old Woman

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tang Beibei had imagined countless times that she might not be Rong Yong’s daughter.

But when Rong Yong said it out loud, she was still shocked.

“Are you lying to me?”

He Li couldn’t help but say, “Tang Beibei, why don’t you use your brain? If you are his daughter, why do you look nothing like him?”

“The reason your surname is Tang is so that you have nothing to do with the Rong family. Back then, it was your mother who left you at the entrance of the Rong residence. I took pity on you and adopted you.”

Tang Beibei thought about her appearance compared to Rong Yong’s. There was indeed no resemblance.

While one could tell immediately that Rong Mei’er and Rong Chan’er were Rong Yong’s children because of their resemblance.

But she didn’t believe He Li.

“Impossible. If my mother gave birth to me, she wouldn’t just abandon me. Besides, He Li, don’t you know yourself? Are you the kind of person who would adopt another person’s child?”

He Li was rendered speechless. If she didn’t receive any reward back then, she really wouldn’t have adopted Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei then asked Rong Yong, “Tell me, why did my mother leave me at your door? You said that I can meet my mother and that she’s still alive?”

Rong Yong and He Li both kept quiet. Tang Beibei was furious.

“You took five million yuan from me. If you don’t tell me the details, I’ll get my husband and the power of the Jiang family to make things difficult for you. We’ll make it impossible for you to survive in Capital City!”

“Don’t, don’t. Tang Beibei, don’t be angry.”

Rong Yong’s compassionate heart was bought with the five million yuan and he explained how it all happened.

“It was by chance that I adopted you. Back then, Mei’er was sick. My wife and I took her to the hospital to see a doctor. When we were about to leave, a woman wearing sunglasses and a hat gave us a child and a sum of money to adopt the child.”

“Our business wasn’t doing well then and suddenly we were offered such a large sum of money. So, I took the money and brought you home.”

“But 1 was curious. 1 went back to the hospital two hours later and asked a friend to let me see the hospital surveillance videos.”

“When I saw the woman come out of a ward, I only saw the side of the patient’s face inside. I knew that it was your mother because your mother was very beautiful. I saw her in a dance troupe and 1 couldn’t forget her.”

“I didn’t expect that someone would block all information about you the next day. When I went to find your mother again, she had also disappeared.”

“I thought that your mother would come back for you, so I continued to raise you. However, your mother hasn’t come back for you after all these years. I don’t know if she’s dead or has gone somewhere else.”

“So, it wasn’t my mother who abandoned me?”

“I’m not sure what the secret is. Tang Beibei, if you can, go and investigate it yourself.” Rong Yong said.

Tears welled up in Tang Beibei’s eyes. She was not an abandoned child. There must be some delicate reasons for her mother to leave her. Tang Beibei wanted to find her mother.

“Do you have a photo of my mother?”

He Li snorted. “Why would we have anything like that? If I have a photo, I would have found your mother and perhaps extorted some money.”

Tang Beibei looked at them coldly. “Since you took a sum of money to adopt me back then, and now I’ve given you five million yuan, I’m cutting all ties with the Rong family!”

Rong Yong still wanted to suck up to her. “Beibei, although I’m your adoptive father, we’ve been family for 20 years. How can we break off a 20-year relationship just like that? Even though you’re married, you’re still my daughter.”

“But, Mr. Rong, you misspoke.”

At this moment, the main door to the Rong residence was pushed open and a deep and cold male voice sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw the man in the wheelchair. Half of his face was filled with conspicuous scars. The three of them were afraid of him yet wanted to please him.

Song Zhou pushed Jiang Jingchen’s wheelchair in and they soon arrived next to Tang Beibei.

Tang Beibei wiped her tears quickly and sniffled. “Hubby, why are you here?”

“To take you home.”

Jiang Jingchen replied softly before he looked up at the Rong family and said in a cold voice, “She is now my wife. She has nothing to do with the Rong family.”

Tang Beibei couldn’t hold back her tears when she heard that he was here to take her home.

Jiang Jingchen frowned and raised his head to wipe her tears.

He was also shocked when he heard Rong Yong reveal the secret. He knew that Tang Beibei would be upset and crying.

“Silly girl, why are you crying? You have me.”

Tang Beibei wiped her tears again and nodded with a smile. “Yes, I’ll stop. There’s nothing to cry about.”

Rong Chan’er was green with envy when she saw Tang Beibei being protected by a man. She said, “Tang Beibei, since you’re going to investigate your mother, 1’11 tell you another secret. We’re sisters after all.”

Tang Beibei always felt that Rong Chan’er had nothing good to say. She just stared at her without saying a word.

Rong Chan’er laughed coldly as she looked forward to Tang Beibei’s expression when she heard what she had to say. Would she have a mental breakdown?

“You can ask Old Madam Tang about this. Although her surname is Tang, she’s not your biological grandmother. She’s your biological grandmother’s cousin. Her husband is dead, and her son is still in prison for committing a crime.”

“As for what crime her son committed, you can find out for yourself. It seems to be related to your mother.”

“Oh, right, your biological grandmother actually died a long time ago.”

Tang Beibei was so shocked and angry that her lips trembled. “You! You are lying. How can Grandma not be my grandmother?”

Rong Chan’er laughed coldly, “Well, that’s the truth. That old woman knew about your mother. She also knew that we took you in, so she came and extorted money from the Rong family for her own livelihood.”

“She knew that we took you in to wait for your mother to come back for you so we could get another payout. She also wanted a share of the profits. Why else would the Rong family support a vicious old woman for no reason?”

“Why do you think that the old woman always blames and scolds you? She even said that you were born to atone for your sins. As for what sins you are atoning for, you’ll have to ask her.”

Tang Beibei gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

“You. You are not lying to me?”

Rong Chan’er shrugged her shoulders. That old woman thought that since Tang Beibei would support her, she could toss the Rong family aside and drag out their requests. Rong Chan’er had long wanted to teach her a lesson.

Moreover, she was delighted to see Tang Beibei so angry that the veins on her forehead were bulging.

She shouldn’t have to suffer alone. Tang Beibei should also feel what it was like to learn that the person she cared about and respected the most was not only her family but also her enemy.

“You can choose not to believe me.”

Tang Beibei stopped crying. She didn’t want to look at the Rongs anymore and pushed Jiang Jingchen out.

After getting into the car, Jiang Jingchen saw Tang Beibei’s extremely upset face and held her in his arms worriedly.

She really cared about her grandmother. She had even married a sickly person like him, ruining her own happiness, to protect her grandmother.

She never expected that the old woman, who was not even her relative, would still shamelessly ask her to support her in old age.

Jiang Jingchen kissed her face. “Beibei, I’m here for you. Don’t be afraid. I’ll go with you to find that old woman and ask her for an explanation..”
