Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Pressure Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Pressure After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong ngxuan was startled. “You know who the person behind the manipulation is? Impossible, this can’t be.”
She had intended to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Zhong Niangyao. But for so reason, whenever she tried to utter the na of the mastermind, she felt as if her throat was on fire. And to convey the ssage by any other ans was absolutely impossible.
Yet now, listening to Zhong Niangyao’s words, it seed she knew the person’s identity. That was impossible; ngxuan couldn’t say it, so Nianyao couldn’t possibly know.
Nianyao must be tricking her. She wouldn’t fall for it.
“Surprised?” Zhong Niangyao began with a smile. “It’s just a trivial matter. If I want to find out, there’s definitely a way.”
Zhong ngxuan looked at Zhong Niangyao with suspicion and doubt in her eyes.
Zhong Niangyao smiled, then straightforwardly said a na.
“How do you know that?” Zhong ngxuan instinctively blurted out, imdiately realizing she had misspoken.
A flicker of understanding crossed Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, then she rose to her feet, “Alright, it’s ti for to leave. Goodbye.”
As she spoke, she waved at Zhong ngxuan preparing to leave.
“Zhong Niangyao, you’re not certain, are you?”
Zhong ngxuan took a step forward, grabbing Zhong Niangyao’s hand with a hint of urgency in her voice, “So, you were just trying to confirm with just now, weren’t you? You’re just suspicious, you’re not certain.”
“Does it matter?” Zhong Niangyao turned, tilting her head with a smile towards Zhong ngxuan, “What’s the point of fretting over these things now? Surely you don’t think that I would let you off, do you? In your eyes, am I such a ‘Holy Mother,’ a pushover?”
Having said that, she withdrew her hand, “Everyone must pay the price for their actions. Zhong ngxuan, you’re not a child anymore, it’s ti for you to bear the consequences of your mistakes.”
Watching Zhong Niangyao’s unwavering departure, Zhong ngxuan called out her na in discontent, but the other didn’t look back even once, just walked straight out of the reception room.
Soon, Zhong ngxuan was escorted back again.
Upon leaving the detention center, Zhong Niangyao saw Li Yiqiu crying at the door, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, then she continued forward with an impassive face, without a second glance.
Seeing that Zhong Niangyao ignored her, Li Yiqiu hurriedly caught up, “Zhong Niangyao, stop.”
At that, Zhong Niangyao did stop, turned around, and looked at Li Yiqiu with a cold sneer, “Second Aunt, are you calling ?”
‘Second Aunt,’ the words dripped with endless sarcasm.
Right then, Li Yiqiu, filled with rage, lashed out at Zhong Niangyao, “Are you happy now? Seeing ngxuan and turn against each other, does it delight you? I don’t understand; wasn’t it just one wrong sentence? Why would you treat this way?”
“Li Yiqiu, I told you before, you can’t have it both ways,” Zhong Niangyao said coldly as she faced Li Yiqiu, “This was your choice, what does it have to do with ? Or are you regretting choosing your son now? If so, I can take back his health.”
“You—”
Upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, a flicker of terror swept through Li Yiqiu’s eyes, unsure if Zhong Niangyao could really do it or was just talking.
“I think you should speak to more politely now,” Zhong Niangyao said casually with folded arms, “Whatever I can give, I can also take back at any ti. Moreover, it was your choice; no one forced you.”
“Just because of your decision, your relationship with Zhong ngxuan is ruined, it doesn’t an that others are to bla. In the end, it’s because in your heart, a son is more important than a daughter.”
“Do not try to present yourself here as a loving mother and ‘morally kidnap’ . And, to be frank, the person who should be standing on the moral high ground here is !”
“All I want is for the person who tried to kill to face legal punishnt. What’s wrong with that? Or do you think that only your children matter, and others’ lives are worthless, easily sacrificed for the sake of your kids?”
A barrage of words left Li Yiqiu unable to offer any rebuttal.
Eventually, Zhong Niangyao got into her car and instructed the driver to leave.
As for Li Yiqiu, she was already an adult and surely could find her own way out.
After that day, Li Yiqiu didn’t dare show up in front of Zhong Niangyao again.
Though unsure whether Zhong Niangyao’s words were true, now that her younger son had finally regained his health, capable of growing up like a normal child, she couldn’t let it all be in vain.
For the sake of her younger son’s health, her relationship with her daughter had already soured. She absolutely couldn’t allow anything to happen to her son; otherwise, all her efforts would go to waste.
As for Zhong Mingyu, he often took the young son to visit Li Yiqiu.
Since there were no plans for divorce, he and Li Yiqiu were still husband and wife. The child was theirs, too, and he didn’t want the child to grow up lacking maternal love.
However, after this incident, both of them kept their distance from Zhong Niangyao with respect.
Zhong Niangyao, for her part, didn’t care. As long as the couple kept away from her and stayed hidden, she was fine with it.
As the departure ti drew closer, Zhong Niangyao felt nothing too significant. Or perhaps this trip to Changbai Mountain was rely a regular itinerary for her.
On the other hand, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, though they didn’t voice it, were visibly tense and filled with anticipation.
They hoped, in their lifeti, to see their youngest son return and the family reunite.
Zhong Niangyao often stayed by the old couple’s side, hoping to help them relax a bit.
After all, it’s not good for the elderly to fret so much.
After offering her reassurances, Zhong Niangyao finally left the elders’ room.
Once Zhong Niangyao departed, Old Sir Zhong sighed and then spoke, “My dear, it seems we have to be more open-minded!”
Old Madam Zhong nodded, “Indeed, our anxiety also put pressure on Yaoyao.”
