"Tingting! How can you say that about your sister? She is my daughter. It was because your father and I didn't take good care of her that we lost her. It's only right for her to be angry; after all, we owe her that much."
"Mom, it's not you who owes her. You've always been looking for her. It's her who, after growing up, never thought about finding her biological parents. She doesn't want to come back at all."
After being yelled at, the woman didn't back down; instead, she became even angrier.
Upon hearing those words, Liu's Mother shouted in frustration, "Tingting, stop it! She is my daughter, your sister! How can you say that about her?"
"Fine! I knew it. She's your biological daughter. Just like Dad, once you found your biological daughter, you don't want me anymore. I'm leaving now; I won't bother you anymore. Is that okay?"
Seeing the girl turn to run outside, Liu's Mother suddenly coughed lightly.
"Tingting, that's not what I meant."
Watching the drama unfold, I decided it was time for me to make my entrance.
"What a touching scene of maternal love!"
"You! Who are you?"
I looked at the girl pointing at me and recalled the venomous expression she had before my death. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
I grabbed her hand tightly, and with a crunching sound, I listened to her painful cries as she covered her ears.
Leaning closer to her, I spoke calmly, "You're so loud! Don't you know? I hate it when people point at me; it's really rude."
At that moment, Liu's Mother finally reacted. Looking at my face, which was almost identical to hers when she was young, tears welled up in her eyes.
A voice filled with tears called out to me,
"Is that you, Yingying? Is that my Yingying? I'm so sorry, my dear."
Seeing the woman who still wanted to get out of bed and come toward me, I hurried to her side to stop her movements.
She still had tubes attached; was she out of her mind?
I quickly supported Liu's Mother, my eyes gradually welling up as I buried my face in her embrace, sobbing,
"Are you really my mother?"
Yet no one noticed the flicker of darkness that passed through my eyes.
In my previous life, after being hit by a car, I didn’t leave immediately but remained in a state of wandering spirit until I was buried.
Because the place where I had the accident was rather remote,
my so-called Biological Mother, upon learning that her Adopted Daughter had killed me in a car crash, not only failed to report it but instead chose to conceal it after witnessing that Madwoman's pitiful crying. With the help of my Biological Father, they managed to suppress the incident,
telling my Adoptive Mother that I had gone abroad for studies and later died in an accident.
What truly terrible parents I had.
I collapsed into Liu Qing's arms, crying as I listened to Liu Tingting's screams, which Liu's Mother didn’t even acknowledge; instead, it felt like a circus act.
Noticing that the time was right,
I lifted my head from my mother's embrace, tears streaming down my face as I looked at Liu's Mother with a fearful and accusatory expression.
"Mom, I thought she was going to hit me just now, and I accidentally twisted her hand. What should I do?"
I spoke lightly about tea.
It was only then that Song Qing noticed the Adopted Daughter screaming in the corner, and immediately felt a surge of worry to rush over and check on her. However, upon encountering her biological daughter in her arms and seeing the fear in the other’s eyes, she instinctively retracted her movement to stand up and signaled to the driver and bodyguard outside.
“Take the Second Young Lady to see a doctor.”
“Understood.”
Listening to the Madwoman outside as she was dragged away, cursing at herself like a shrew, I felt a wave of satisfaction wash over me. Liu Tingting, our game has just begun.
As I watched that woman leave, the ward fell silent.
I looked up at Liu Qing, who was gazing at me with a loving expression. She opened her arms to embrace me, her voice trembling as she said, “Yingying, it’s all my fault. You’ve suffered all these years.”
There was no tearful reunion as I had imagined, nor did I feel the sense of grievance I had when I first met my mother in my past life. Instead, I pushed her away directly and coldly replied, “I have indeed suffered quite a bit over the years, and you are truly at fault. So how do you plan to make it up to me?”
I stood aside, watching her with an expression of disbelief on her face. Inside, I couldn’t help but scoff. Did she expect me to play out some scene of maternal affection?
"Stop messing around! If it really comes to that, I might just throw up, do you believe me?"
"Yingying, don't talk to your mother like that."
I looked at the increasingly pale face of the woman on the bed. Instead of softening my tone, I spoke calmly, "You all insisted I come back. Now that I'm not home yet, you want me to do things your way. Is this your idea of compensating me, Mom?"
"No, that's not it, Yingying," Song Qing hurriedly explained.
Perhaps she didn't expect the reality to be so different from what they had investigated.
But I knew she had to acknowledge my return because Liu Group was currently facing a crisis and needed a marriage alliance. Clearly, I was the most suitable candidate. Otherwise, given Liu Group's capabilities, finding a child wouldn't be that difficult, especially since I had been in this city since college.
They just had a new daughter and thought my abilities were mediocre, fearing they would lose face.
Hypocritical!
However, what she probably didn't realize was that many things couldn't simply be uncovered with money or power.
