Because I was bullied, I got to rest at home for a few days. I lay leisurely in the villa, watching cartoons and drinking yogurt, carefree. Just then, my mother suddenly appeared. She was wearing the housekeeper's clothes and sneaked over to my side.
"Shengsheng, come with Mom; staying here will make you suffer," she said. I rolled my eyes and replied, "I don't want to." She frowned, "Why are you being so disobedient?"
"You have to leave whether you want to or not!" As she spoke, she tried to pull me away. I struggled hard and shouted, "Mom, I won't go; I want to stay with you." Lu Mengmeng paused for a moment before showing a smug expression.
"Not bad; at least you have a bit of conscience."
"Since you want to be with Mom so much, then come with me." I blinked and suddenly bit her hand. She cried out in pain, and I seized the opportunity to run outside while shouting, "Mother Shiyu, help!"
Mother Shiyu came out of the kitchen holding a knife. Looking at Lu Mengmeng standing in the living room, she coldly smiled, "Oh, isn't this Ms. Tang?"
"What? Here to seek death again?" Lu Mengmeng's face changed drastically as she took steps back. "W-what do you want?"
"Don't come any closer!" Mother Shiyu rolled her eyes. "Don't worry; I won't do anything to you."
"I find you disgusting." The butler rushed in and quickly restrained Lu Mengmeng. Mother Shiyu looked down at her with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Ms. Tang, you've repeatedly caused us trouble; do you really think we're easy to bully?"
"We let you off last time just because someone cleaned up your mess."
"However, your value has run out."
"You should just stay inside." Lu Mengmeng's face turned pale. "Y-you're going to call the police on me?"
Mother Shiyu raised an eyebrow. "Yes, is that a problem?"
Lu Mengmeng gritted her teeth and said, "You have such a cruel heart. I am Shengsheng's biological mother. How dare you treat me like this?"
Mother Shiyu scoffed, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are Shengsheng's biological mother? Besides, even if you are her biological mother, you can't just take her away."
"You are kidnapping her, do you know that?"
Lu Mengmeng shouted loudly, "I don't care! I just want to take my daughter away! Whoever dares to stop me, I will fight them to the end!"
Mother Shiyu was too lazy to argue with her and simply waved her hand. "Take her out and call the police."
"Yes," the butler replied as he escorted Lu Mengmeng out.
Lu Mengmeng continued to shout, "Let go of me! You are stealing someone else's daughter; you will face retribution!"
Mother Shiyu curled her lips, "I really don't know who is being used here while still helping others count money. I guess Mukuya is probably too busy taking care of himself right now."
"Forget it, I won't waste any more time with you. I haven't finished making my cookies yet."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the kitchen.
I quickly followed and hugged her leg. "Mother Shiyu, don't go."
She looked down at me and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "What? Do you want to come with me to the kitchen?"
I nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"Alright then, let's go." She bent down to pick me up and strode out of the villa.
Behind us, Lu Mengmeng was still shouting, "Let me out! You bunch of bastards will not die a good death! I will be back!"
At the old house, Chen Donglai held my hand as we walked in together with Wang Shiyu.
Mukuya was sitting by the coffee table, leisurely brewing tea. He looked calm on the surface, but I knew he must be feeling quite unsettled inside. After all, he had been planning for so long only to end up with nothing.
Chen Donglai's face was ashen. "Mukuya, why did you target Grandma?"
Mukuya sneered, "Is she my grandmother?"
Chen Donglai frowned. "What do you mean?"
Mukuya suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot. "Throughout my life, has anyone ever taken me seriously?"
"Just because I'm a bastard, does that make me inferior?"
"Have you forgotten? You are also a bastard!" He pointed at Chen Donglai and shouted fiercely.
Chen Donglai took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Yes, I am also a bastard. But what does that have to do with Grandma? She is innocent."
Mukuya's eyes were red, filled with hatred. "Grandma? Is she really my grandmother?"
"When has she ever looked at me properly?"
"She only sees you, only your son, only your grandson."
"What are we? What is that bastard daughter of yours?"
Chen Donglai was furious. "If you have grievances, come at me. Don't involve the innocent."
Mukuya sneered and turned his gaze toward me. "That bastard daughter is your daughter, right?"
"I have to say, she looks just like her mother—like a dog."
I clenched my fists and coldly replied, "You can't insult my mother!"
Mukuya paused for a moment before bursting into laughter. "No wonder you're mother and daughter; you both say the same things."
"Too bad your mother has already been captured."
"However, I will find a way to get her out."
"After all, she is a gift I gave you."
A hint of malice flashed in his eyes. "Aren't you so self-righteous? That bastard daughter is the stain on your life."
"I will make sure you can never escape this stain!"
Chen Donglai's expression darkened as he clenched his fists tightly. "Mukuya, you have truly gone mad."
Mukuya laughed loudly, "I'm crazy, so what?"
"You all look down on me, so I'll make you suffer even more!"
Wang Shiyu said calmly, "No one looks down on you."
"It's your own twisted mindset that makes you think everything is bad."
Mukuya sneered, "If I weren't a bastard, how could my mom be looked down upon by everyone?"
"If I weren't a bastard, how could I be called an illegitimate child?"
"This is all because of you!"
He pointed at Chen Donglai, his eyes bloodshot.
Chen Donglai took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed himself.
"When your mom married my dad, she knew he had a wife."
"She knew it was a marriage without a future, yet she insisted on marrying in."
"She knew she would be wronged but still gave birth to you."
"This is all her choice; she can't blame others."
Mukuya was stunned for a moment before erupting in anger, "You're talking nonsense!"
"It was clearly your dad who deceived her, claiming he would marry her, but he treated her like a toy!"
Chen Donglai shook his head, "Your dad has many women outside; she was just one of them."
"If it weren't for her family background, do you think you could enter the the Fu Family?"
Mukuya's expression changed, "How... how do you know?"
Chen Donglai glanced at him, "If you want to keep something secret, don't do it in the first place."
"Do you think Grandma really knows nothing? She just doesn't want to say anything."
Mukuya collapsed to the ground, murmuring, "Impossible... this can't be..."
Wang Shiyu coldly said, "The reason you've become like this isn't anyone else's fault; it's your own mindset that's the problem."
"You can't stand seeing others happier than you or more joyful than you, so you want to ruin everything."
"But how can you blame others?"
Mukuya shouted angrily, "I don't believe it! You're all lying to me!"
"You look down on me; you think I'm a bastard and inferior."
Wang Shiyu sighed, "It seems you're truly beyond saving."
"A person who only thinks about making others miserable will never earn respect from others."
"Because they don't even respect themselves."
Mukuya glared at her fiercely, his eyes bloodshot.
"Wang Shiyu, don't think that just because you say these things, it can change the fact that you are an illegitimate child."
"I don't believe you aren't jealous of Lu Mengmeng."
Wang Shiyu raised an eyebrow, "Why should I be jealous of her?"
Mukuya scoffed, "Because she is Chen Donglai's most beloved woman."
"You are merely his second choice."
Wang Shiyu chuckled lightly, "You are mistaken. I love Chen Donglai as a person, not for his status or his wealth."
"As long as he is alive and loves me, that is enough for me."
She turned to look at Chen Donglai, and they exchanged a smile.
That smile was sincere and resolute.
Mukuya glared at them fiercely, his eyes filled with unwillingness and jealousy.
"It’s impossible... how could anyone not be jealous..."
"You must be lying to me..."
I shouted loudly, "My mom is the best mom!"
"She never hits me or scolds me; she cares for me too much to be jealous of me!"
Mukuya turned to look at me, his eyes full of malice.
"You little bastard, this is not a place for you to speak!"
I was furious and rushed over, slapping him across the face.
"Don't you dare insult my mom!"
"You bad guy, you are the bastard!"
Mukuya was stunned by my slap and took a moment to react.
He pushed me away forcefully, "Get lost, little bastard!"
Chen Donglai reached out to catch me, holding me protectively in his arms.
Wang Shiyu stepped forward, looking coldly at him.
"Mukuya, your crimes are unforgivable."
"Just wait to go to jail."
