Anger almost overpowered Yu Yanwan as she walked out of the restaurant. Her gaze turned dark, sinister. She had been keeping her frustrations in check. Trying her best to calm down and retain her composure.
But Lily’s smile is just so infuriating. She felt her fury burst inside her as she started driving towards the Yu Mansion. She then picked up her phone and dialed a number. “I want her gone,” she uttered. “I want that old woman dead today.”
“But… that will be hard considering…”
“Just do it!” she hissed. There is no way that she would allow Lily to get close to the old man again. She would never allow Lily to manipulate the old man into giving her the estate and the company.
After ending the call, she dialed another number. “I want you to prepare an article for me. I am sending you a couple of photos and notes that I wrote.”
“What headline do you want this time?”
“I want the world to know that Lily Zhou caused the death of my mother.” She declared.
“And the money?”
“I will send it to you today. Just prepare the article and release it once I tell you to. And delete my number. I will use a burner phone to contact you next time.” She ended the call without waiting for the man to say something. She tightened her grip to the steering wheel as she let out another cursed.
She needed to visit her mother before her death.
…….
It did not take long for Yu Yanwan to arrive at the Yu Family’s mansion.
“Your mother is too weak. I am not allowing anyone to visit her.” Old Man Yu instantly declined his daughter’s request to see his wife. “For months you didn’t visit her. Did you hit your head? Perhaps a kick by a donkey woke you up?”
“I hated mother for ignoring me.” Yu Yanwan answered as she sat opposite to her father. “After everything that happened. I have the right to hate you and her.”
“And yet, you still wanted my money.”
“I deserved it!”
“Your mother and I worked so hard for what we have. We gave you everything from food to money to education. It is not my fault that you are still miserable now.” The chill in the old man’s voice was apparent. If she was a teenager, this voice would have made her tremble and cry.
“I am not miserable.” She stated, her voice firm. “I am happy with my choices and I will never regret what I did.” Yu Yanwan will never blame her circumstances to her choices back then. Her husband is the only person who made her feel that she matter. Because of this, she will always choose him above everyone else.
Instead, she blamed her parent’s lack of emotion and attention. Because of them, she sought the attention of other people. Because of them, she learned to rebel just to have a little of their time. Because of them… she had become the ruthless, unforgiving and hateful daughter that everyone in the family despises.
“I know that you are planning to leave your properties to Lily.” She added.
“You are still stupid as ever.” The old man retorted. “If not for the fact that we looked identical, I would have thought that you are not my daughter.”
“You — How dare you?” While she is already used to the way the old man spoke to her, this kind of statement still gives her some heartache. She forced down the blood in her mouth as she cursed the old man inwardly.
“Yanwan…” the old man let out a sigh. He then started seeping his tea. “How could you be so blind?” he asked as he gritted his teeth. For years, he tried his best to fulfill his promise to his dying wife. However, in the end, he decided against it. Lu Xialu is already dying. Why would he stop himself from informing this ungrateful woman of the sins she committed?
���Your mother was the only person who helped you when you were alone. How could you do this to her?” Old Man Yu met his daughter’s eyes. As expected, a flash of fear can be seen swirling in Yu Yanwan’s orbs.
“Mother abandoned me when I needed her help! What help are you talking about?”
“When you were in New Zealand giving birth to your eldest child. Did you think it was a coincidence that a specialist from Australia helped you gave birth? Do you think… it was out of pity when the doctor didn’t charge you for the expensive operation?” The old man snorted. He then smiled as he watched her daughter’s face paled.
“Before getting pregnant. Did you think an oil company would hire your under-qualified husband who only worked as a small assistant in our company? Were you really that stupid?”
“I— “
“When your newborn caught that… Kawasaki illness did you think it was a coincidence that another specialist was magically present at the hospital when you admitted your child?” Another snort escaped the old man’s lips. “Your mother… helped you!” He uttered, making sure that he pronounced each word properly.
“Without her, you would have been homeless, childless, and might even be dead!”
Watching Yu Yanwan’s face turned from purple to white to green seemed to make the old man feel a little bit better. “And yet you — you still hurt her.”
“Father — I… what are you talking about?” she asked confused. Does this mean that her father knew about the poisoning? But that should not be possible. If he knew, she was sure that he will hurt her. She was sure that he will retaliate and make her suffer.
So what nonsense is he spouting now? She shook her head inwardly as the old man’s words sunk inside her. Like a sharp knife slowly carving in her heart. Unknowingly tears pooled in Yu Yanwan’s eyes. “What are you talking about?” She wanted an answer. She wanted to know the truth.
But as usual, her father pursed his lips and stared at her face as if she had gone crazy.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?” she yelled.
