Chapter 1859 - 1860: Rong Yan Is My Daughter!
Chapter 1859: Chapter 1860: Rong Yan Is My Daughter!
—Who said it has nothing to do with me. Old Madame Shen forced my daughter to acknowledge you as her parents, those who don’t know might think that I, her real mother, am dead!
The words caused a deathly silence across the room.
Only Qin Jun and Li Shengxiao knew the truth, and thus were not surprised.
"Aunt, have you... thought it through?"
Jiang Chenyue glanced at him, pressed her lips, and said, "What is there not to think through? Do I have to let them continue bullying my daughter right in front of me?"
She felt ashamed, guilty, and even too embarrassed to tell her cherished one, whom she searched for twenty years, her true identity.
But so what.
How could these people bully her cherished daughter?
The precious treasure she holds dear, someone she wishes she could give her life to make up for, is not to be callously demeaned by people who aren’t worthy.
If her guilt and silence result in Yan being bullied, as her mother, even if shameless, she must reveal the truth.
Qin Jun remained silent for a moment, then endorsed her actions, "As long as you’re sure, I’m always on your side."
On the contrary, Chu Aotian was shocked; he had recognized Rong Yan earlier, but due to his identity and position, he refrained from greeting her in front of Jiang Chenyue, fearing it would upset his wife. Yet the situation was developing more bizarrely than he imagined, and for the first time, he felt he couldn’t keep up.
"Chenyue, you said, our daughter?"
Chu Aotian was so shocked that his hands trembled slightly as he held her shoulders, and his tea-colored eyes looked at the equally surprised Rong Yan.
"You said, Yan is our daughter."
Jiang Chenyue dared not meet Rong Yan’s eyes, she nodded slightly and firmly said, "Yes. Yan is our daughter, Xixi!"
Shen Yu hadn’t recovered from the shock, he said, "Madame Chu, what nonsense are you talking about? Your daughter is that Chu Xi, Rong Yan doesn’t bear the surname Chu, nor is she Xixi."
Jiang Chenyue sneered at him, even more demeaningly than he had looked at Rong Yan earlier, "My daughter’s name is Chu Xi, but she’s not that Chu Xi. Twenty years ago, I lost my daughter and have been searching all these years until now I found her."
Her gentle eyes moved to Rong Yan, and Rong Yan felt herself surrounded by a warm gaze.
"I didn’t know before that heaven would give me a chance to find her. To cope with my longing and guilt, I encountered a girl about her age also named Chu Xi among distant relatives and took her in. Later... acknowledged her as my foster daughter."
"That was the biggest mistake I ever made! But regardless of what I called her, she wasn’t my biological daughter. My only daughter is Yan. She’s named Chu Xi, but her Chu Xi is incomparable! She is the sole bloodline of our Chu Family, and the only treasure of me and my husband! She is the cherished one of our Chu Family!"
Qin Jun immediately added, "She’s also my cherished sister! So Mr. Shen, you just asked why I hit you."
He spoke with disdain, "What do you think?"
"..."
"Because you bullied my sister!"
...
Because you bullied my sister!
Rong Yan’s mind was a tangled mess, Jiang Chenyue and Qin Jun’s words buzzed incessantly in her ears, and she couldn’t tell if she was dreaming or facing reality.
Mrs. Jiang says she’s her biological mother?
Mr. Nie isn’t really Mr. Nie, but that legendary head of the Chu Family?
Qin Jun is her brother?
