Chapter 594 Fabricating the Past
Chapter 594 Fabricating the Past
Su Mang lowered her head and bit her lip, looking embarrassed to speak: "My adoptive parents... they are farmers..."
"My family mainly farms and raises pigs..."
Her voice became softer and softer, and finally she just burst into sobs.
Everyone in the room was surprised by this answer. According to Hena, the family was quite well off. She looked through her daughter's file and saw that her parents' occupations were listed as civil servants. And from the few times they met, she didn't look like someone from a poor family.
Su Mang curled up, buried her face in her hands, and cried, "When I was in middle school, my classmates laughed at me because I didn't have money to buy new clothes... I didn't have money to buy good stationery, and even when I ate, I tried to choose the cheapest dishes..."
Lin Yaozong's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
"After enduring years of school bullying, I finally got into Dawn University and got away from that group of people..."
"I didn't dare reveal my true situation. I was afraid that people around me would treat me the same way. So, I started doing odd jobs and used the money I earned to disguise myself..."
"I'm sorry! I shouldn't be so vain... I didn't mean to lie..." Su Mang burst into tears.
Everyone's face was filled with heartache.
Old Master Marin said angrily: "Whoever bullied you, tell me and I will help you get revenge!"
"My poor daughter, you have suffered so much! It's your mother's fault for not protecting you..."
"Don't cry, it's not your fault."
"You won't have to live such a hard life anymore."
"When your adoptive parents arrive, we will discuss with them and take over your custody. Mom and Dad will buy you a lot of beautiful dresses and bags. No matter what you like to eat, what you like to play, and where you want to travel, your parents can satisfy all of your wishes... Okay?" Gina coaxed.
Su Mang hesitated for a moment and shook her head gently: "Although they don't have much money, they worked hard to raise me. I can't abandon them."
Gina's heart softened when she heard this. She stroked her daughter's hair and said, "You said it yourself. They don't have much money. Wouldn't it be very hard for them to support your schooling and daily expenses? You know the cost of living in the capital."
"Mom and Dad have the ability to provide you with a better life, support your interests and ideals, and help you with your future career."
"We are not saying that we want you to break off relations with them. We will remember this kindness, and you can go back and visit them anytime when you miss them. When you have the ability, you can take care of them in return, right?" Gina coaxed.
These words touched Su Mang's heart. She agreed with them deeply, but she couldn't agree so quickly.
Seeing her lowering her head and not speaking, Gina felt a little flustered and wanted to continue lobbying.
But Hena patted her shoulder, shook her head and signaled her not to be anxious.
Gina stopped forcing him and changed the subject: "You haven't eaten yet, right? I brought you some food from home. Do you think the chef's cooking suits your taste..."
They didn't stay too long when they met for the first time, about two hours, which was considered their initial contact with each other.
Before leaving, Gina held her daughter's hand, reluctant to let her go. It was Hena who told her that Su Mang still needed treatment before she let go.
"I feel like I'm dreaming... My daughter is so well behaved, did you see that?"
"Yeah, I saw it. He's a good, kind kid."
"Hena, please do something and change Xiaomang's major. Don't let her stay in this major anymore." said Old Malin.
"Well, let's wait until she's discharged. I'll talk to her and see what direction she's interested in."
The family walked out while chatting.
When we took the elevator down to the seventh floor, the door opened and McQueen and Jiang Linlin stood opposite.
People on both sides were stunned when they saw each other.
The Marin family took two steps back to make room. McQueen silently supported Jiang Linlin and walked in.
The elevator doors closed and everyone remained silent.
There was something awkward about their relationship. They weren't close, didn't cooperate in business, and even competed in some industries.
Of course, the main contradiction is that the daughter of the Capet family snatched the son-in-law of the Marin family. In the eyes of Hena and some outsiders.
Finally, it was Old Marin who broke the silence first: "Is my love okay?"
Jiang Linlin's pregnancy had been announced to the Star Realm, and she appeared at the hospital, clearly seeking a prenatal checkup. Old Ma Lin had lived most of his life adhering to the principle of not easily making enemies. He had always been positive about these established nobles. Unfortunately, his youngest daughter's stubbornness had strained their relationship with both families.
"Thanks for your concern, I'm doing fine." McQueen put one hand in his pocket and protected his wife with the other.
"Haha, that's good."
"Why are you making such a big fuss—?" McQueen asked.
Old Marin still had that foxy smile on his face: "In a while, there will be a happy event at home. When the time comes, send out the invitations. You must come."
McQueen was confused, but he agreed without hesitation: "Sure, sure. I'll be waiting."
After leaving the hospital, the two groups said goodbye politely.
"That old guy is talking about happy events. That's strange. What kind of happy events could they have?" McQueen couldn't hold back his excitement as soon as he got in the car.
"I know the one with short hair is Hena. Could the ones next to her be her eldest sister and brother-in-law? Doesn't she have mental problems? Is she here to see a doctor?"
"That shouldn't be a happy occasion..." McQueen suddenly realized something halfway through his speech.
"Oh! I see! Her mental illness has been cured!"
Jiang Linlin thought it made sense and nodded seriously, "No wonder, after being ill for so many years, it's a happy occasion. So, shall we go then?"
"No. Old Marlin could barely reach my feet, but I could attend his funeral. As for those down there—"
McQueen uttered a contemptuous "Huh".
"That's fine. I don't like them either." Jiang Linlin said indifferently.
"Let's stop by Wei'er's house on the way. She prepared some things for me, saying they are good for pregnant women. Let's go directly to get them and save the driver from running back and forth."
"This girl, I was there the night before last, and she didn't even tell me to leave for a while."
Jiang Linlin hit him and glared at him, "When was that the day before yesterday?! How dare you! Are you her uncle or not?!"
"Is it okay if I'm wrong? Are you really angry? Oh, I was just kidding..."
Women are always more sensitive; they are naturally warmer and more empathetic, especially pregnant women, who are more sentimental. Jiang Linlin thought of that dangerous situation and then looked at her husband's carefree attitude, and she was overcome with grief.
"You're not a human being! Wei'er is so dear to you! She's so good to our family! And you don't care about her at all!"
McQueen thought to himself: I even got her contraband and I don’t care…
He hugged his wife, patted her back, and said calmly: "Everything is over now. Isn't Wei'er okay? I have always been like this, a bad mouth. It's not the first day you know this."
"Besides, is it possible that Wei'er is not as fragile as you think?"
Jiang Linlin calmed down a bit, and struggled out of McQueen's arms. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want to hear your nonsense. You're such a mean person. Don't say a single word to me from now on."
The driver swallowed nervously: Is this something he can listen to? He won't be silenced by the young master when he returns...
McQueen was inconsolable, aggrieved and helpless. He looked around but couldn't find an exit. The driver refused to look him in the eye. In the end, he could only sit in the back seat, depressed and alone.
