Wei Mu had raised her for so many years, yet now she couldn't even provide a defense.
Raised? Before the age of eight, I never had a full meal; I only ate the leftover soup and scraps from your table. Occasionally, neighbors would give me something to eat, but you would throw it away. After I turned eight, I had to scavenge for food to survive. Part of my school and living expenses came from Community Grandma, and the rest I earned by selling paper scraps and beverage bottles. The clothes I wore were either given by neighbors or found in the trash. What exactly did you provide for me?
Goodness, people often say stepmothers are cruel, but this adoptive mother is no better! Some patients and their families began to murmur among themselves.
Didn’t they say there was a grudge against that girl’s biological parents?
Who knows? Regardless of any grudge, one shouldn’t treat a child like that!
Hearing the discussions around her, Wei Mu's face turned slightly pale. “Well, you’ve been living in my house for over twenty years!”
Living? Ask our neighbors; we lived in the oldest building. When I was little, I slept in the hallway. The community grandma often came to our house looking for me because you were too annoyed to have me around, which is why you let me sleep on the balcony.
It wasn’t until I entered middle school and could no longer fit on the balcony that you finally allowed me to board at school. The boarding fees were even covered by my homeroom teacher. Anyone at school can confirm this; what right do you have to demand money from me? Wei He trembled uncontrollably.
“Stop talking nonsense! If I say you owe me, then you owe!”
How can you be so cruel? Even if a child isn’t your own, there’s no reason to treat them this way! Aren’t you afraid of retribution? Aunt had long since lost her patience, but coming from a prestigious family, she wasn’t one to speak harshly often.
If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was a woman, Uncle and Second Uncle would have wanted to shout as well. But Aunt’s words were ineffective; they didn’t provide any relief.
Yan Kongyue noticed their desire to help but knew this was her battle to fight; she couldn’t let the Lin Family intervene.
“Madam, back then when you worked at her parents' factory, your husband stole something from them and tried to sell it. When discovered, they didn’t pursue legal action due to past kindness; they only asked for the stolen money back. Yet you went ahead and stole their child to abuse her—where is your conscience?”
“How do you know?” Wei Mu looked at Yan Kongyue in shock. Few people knew about that theft, and it happened hundreds of miles away in another county. They had stolen the child and fled overnight, changing cities several times before finally settling in the capital. Besides her and her husband, hardly anyone knew.
To want others not to know, one must first not do anything wrong! Yan Kongyue's voice was as cold as ice.
“Yan Kongyue, take Miss Wei away; leave the rest to my brother. We have the best legal team; she won’t gain anything from this.” Lin Lie and Lin Zhuo had appeared beside them without anyone noticing.
“Alright then! I won’t hold back with my brother!” Yan Kongyue nodded slightly. Given the current situation, she needed to get Wei He out of there; if it continued any longer, Wei He would surely break down.
“Go ahead; I've already called the lawyers; they’ll be here soon!” Lin Lie was the head of Lin Group, and his innate demeanor made Wei Mu instinctively shrink back.
Lin Zhuo had also communicated with several police officers.
Only now did Yan Kongyue realize that the Lin Family was certainly not an ordinary wealthy family in the capital.
“Yan Kongyue, take your friend and grandfather with you; Grandpa will take you both out for hot pot!” Lin Old Man waved at them.
“Okay!” Yan Kongyue wrapped her arm around Wei He’s shoulder and led her away.
“Don’t be afraid, children! Since the Lin Family has stepped in, we won’t stand by idly!” Aunt quickly pulled both children close and continued speaking: “I may not have given you justice with my words, but don’t worry—we have legal weapons; we’re going to win this case!”
Thank you, thank you all! Wei He finally found an outlet for her repressed emotions and began to cry while holding onto Yan Kongyue.
Let it out! Just cry it all out! Yan Kongyue and Aunt supported her as they made their way to the safety exit on the lower terrace.
What are you doing up here? Yan Kongyue spotted Lin Qian standing at the entrance.
I was worried, so I came to check on you! Lin Qian's face looked pale, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
Your injury isn't fully healed yet. Climbing such high stairs must have strained your wound.
