Looking at Mrs. Sze’s terrified expression… Nuannuan looked like a cat playing with a mouse. “You’re really bad at lying! You say that you don’t understand at all and that this has nothing to do with you, but the fear in your eyes and face say it all.”
Looking at Mrs. Sze doijng her best to prevent her face from distorting, Nangong Nuannuan’s smile grew even more beautiful, “It’s not just you. Your sister and your brother-in-law look like they’ve been caught red-handed too. Zhou Menglu, why don’t you tell me if my Senior Sister is really your child? If you tell me the truth and tell me who Senior Sister’s real parents are, I might be able to reduce your prison sentence by a few years.”
Nangong Nuannuan’s words scared Mrs. Sze so much that she could barely stop herself from shouting out the answer. She wanted to, but she knew she could not. Even if the woman in front of her could give her a few years off of prison, her family would definitely not let her off the hook.
She could not say it, she definitely could not say it! If she did, she would be finished.
Her son would also be finished!
Their family home was about to be demolished, and they were supposed to split the houses they were getting as compensation. Even if she could not get five houses, she was going to getat least four.
Moreover, her son would have a good reputation in the future, and her great future was still ahead of her. She could not let anything happen to her son!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Zhou Menglu took a deep breath and suddenly met Nangong Nuan’s gaze, “Yunyun is my biological daughter. She’s the daughter I gave birth to ad kept in my womb for ten whole months. What right do you have to try to sow discord between my daughter and me?”
After saying that… Zhou Menglu looked at Sze Lingyun and said, “Yunyun, quickly tell the police to let Mom and Dad go! We can’t go to jail. Your brother can’t go to jail! If he goes to jail, he’ll have a criminal record for the rest of his life. No good woman will ever want him. Yunyun, Mom knows she was wrong. Mom won’t force you to marry anyone you don’t want to. You can marry whoever you want. Even if you don’t marry, at the very worst, our family won’t lose any houses.”
If this had happened in the past, looking into Zhou Menglu’s pleading eyes, Sze Lingyun would definitely have agreed. However…
“Mom, I got into the Military Medical Hospital of my own merit, and I’m one of the top students there.Do you think I’m stupid?”
“You… What do you mean?” Zhou Menglu’s breathing, which had just calmed down, grew urgent again.
“What I mean is that I’m a smart person. I can tell from your, Dad’s, Aunt’s, and Uncle’s expressions that I am probably not your child. With that in mind, how could I not think for myself? After all, I’m a grown woman. I want to know who I am,who my parents are and why they left me, and why you people raised me but didn’t love or even like me.
“If the DNA results come back, and you two really are my parents, I’ll pay back the money you spent trying to marry me off to a greasy middle-aged man in his 40s. It will be more than however much your stupid dream house costs. From then on, I’ll have nothing to do with you two or this family anymore.
“Of course, if the DNA test comes back and you two aren’t my biological parents, we’ll figure out what to do then.”
