Chapter 2049: I Raised Her!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You… Could your father let us out on account that we raised you for so many years? You’re the daughter of the richest man in Sea District, so your family has a lot of money. You know that your brother has reached marriageable age. Despite everything that’s happened, Mommy still raised you. You owe us, the Sze family, a favor! Just give your brother a few thousand yuan and provide us with a villa, and we’ll be even, okay?”

This was the compromise Zhou Menglu had come up with a while ago.

She knew that once the paternity test results were released, they would expose her. Therefore, she was not going to lie about the fact that Sze Lingyun was adopted by the Sze family as a child.

Even if they were to be interrogated separately, both Sze Dafa and her sister would have said the same thing.

As they talked, Zhou Menglu began to believe her own lies. Yes, she had adopted Sze Lingyun out of kindness and worked hard to raise her! Not only would she be able to avoid jail time, but she could also obtain some great benefits from Sze Lingyun’s family.

Zhou Menglu’s words made Nangong Nuannuan laugh.

She had seen shameless people before, but this was a whole new level of shamelessness.

It was comparable to Zhong Qianqian and her daughter.

Sze Lingyun was stunned by her adoptive mother’s shamelessness. Just as she was about to get mad, Wu Jingzhong grabbed her shoulder.

Her daughter had been bullied and abused by Zhou Menglu’s family for 21 years. As a father, all these sins were his fault. Now that his daughter had finally returned home to him, it was only natural that he as a father handled all the loose ends.

Zhou Menglu was still looking at Sze Lingyun with hopeful and greedy eyes when Wu Jingzhong slapped her with the DNA test report in hand.

Zhou Menglu screamed in utter fear.

Even though it was just a few sheets of paper, the paper was of very good quality. When it hit her, they scratched Zhou Menglu’s face and left a few bloody marks behind.

Zhou Menglu was a typical bully. She could bully those weaker than her, but when faced by anyone stronger, she would cower.

After seeing Wu Jingzhong’s expression of murderous intent, Zhou Menglu shrank back, not daring to continue begging.

“Zhou Menglu, I hope that this opportunity to save face can be taken and appreciated. Otherwise, if I choose to be cruel, I’ll make things so bad that you won’t even be able to cry.”

“I… I’ll take it and be grateful. You… What do you want me to do? I’ve already told you that Yunyun’s adopted. We couldn’t bear to see her starve to death by the roadside, so we took her in out of kindness. I didn’t abduct her or sell her. Why would I abduct and sell her by inviting her back home for a free meal?”

“Free meal? My daughter worked hard as a slave for your family for 21 years. She did all the housework for you—preparing food, maintaining the residence’s cleanliness, and preparing your clothes. She took care of everything! And despite all that she’s done for you, you never allowed her to eat at the table. She was never allowed to eat her fill. How dare you say that your family was going to give her ‘free food’? Zhou Menglu, just that fact alone could send you to prison for many years to come!”

Zhou Menglu was shocked. She shrank back further and did not dare to speak.

Seeing that Zhou Menglu did not seem like she was going to talk about Zhou Hua, Wu Jingzhong retrieved the photo that Nangong Nuannuan had given him and put it in front of Zhou Menglu.
