Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Heartless

For more than twenty days, there had been no news. Ever since she recognized the one named Zhuang, they had never gone this long without meeting.

Just as she was thinking, a small car stopped outside the door, it was Zhuang Jingshu’s car.

Lin Jiayi’s eyes lit up, “She’s here, Mom. Later, if she wants to take me away, don’t bring up these trivial matters anymore. Once I’m in the capital, I’ll send money to you. Once I’m settled there, I’ll bring you and Dad over to enjoy life.”

Mother Lin nodded repeatedly, “My daughter is right. My vision is short-sighted. This small county is nothing compared to the capital. You focus well over there, and your father and I will be waiting for your good news.”

Seeing both Zhuang Jingshu and Zhuang Yang get out of the car, both Mother Lin and Lin Jiayi rushed out to greet them.

Lin Jiayi spoke with a smile, “Mom, I’m all packed. Am I leaving today?”

Mother Lin also added, “Sister, though it’s not appropriate for me to say, you and Jiayi are real mother and daughter, but after all, I raised Jiayi for over twenty years. Naturally, I hope for Jiayi’s well-being. This time we won’t delay the child’s future. You can rest assured, Jiayi can go to the capital with you today.”

Mother Lin’s voice was not small, noticing that as Zhuang Jingshu’s car stopped at the entrance, passersby gathered to watch.

Ever since her daughter Jiayi acknowledged such a wealthy mother, their family had become prominent in this village.

Who wouldn’t envy Lin Jiayi?

When it was said that Lin Jiayi would go to the capital, and Zhuang Jingshu hadn’t come for so long, those envious ones in the village wanted to see them make a joke of themselves.

Now let them see, Lin Jiayi is leaving soon, all they can do is be envious.

Zhuang Jingshu stood in the courtyard, not taking a step forward.

She looked indifferently at the two women in front of her, their smug demeanor was truly identical.

She didn’t have time to circle around with this mother and daughter. She might as well go back to care for her daughter and granddaughter.

“Guo Cuihua,” she directly called by name, “I remember back then your Lin Family promised me to treat my daughter well, although it was Old Lady Lin who decided to take in the child, you Lin Family members were all there, we left our money and tickets, and promised a generous reward when we came for the child. How did you respond to me back then, have you forgotten?”

Mother Lin didn’t know why Zhuang Jingshu was bringing this up again, she hadn’t seen her going through old records before.

She said bluntly, “Of course, I remember, look, Jiayi was raised just fine for you. Not to mention anything else, for over twenty years, I always treated Jiayi as my own daughter, even dearer than my biological daughter. This you can ask the elders of Daqing Mountain Village. I, Guo Cuihua, would not go back on my word from back then, I am not that heartless.”

“Is that so?”

“It surely is.”

Mother Lin replied quickly, raising her head to meet Zhuang Jingshu’s deep gaze.

A few seconds later, her heart began to race, and she eventually dared not meet her gaze, forcing out two awkward laughs.

“I say sister, why are you saying this? Jiayi is packed, she’s been thinking about you these days, she said she wants to go to Yan City to visit you, afraid you’re too busy and wanting to help. See how considerate the child is.”

Zhuang Jingshu ignored her words, “But I cannot understand, as a mother, if you were entrusted by someone, diligently fulfilling the task, treating the other’s child as your own is already commendable, why would someone treat a stranger’s child more importantly than their own, even to the extent of being harsh to their own child? So is Lin Jiayi your biological daughter or is Lin Chuxia your biological daughter?”

At the last sentence, Mother Lin’s face drastically changed.

“Sister, what do you mean by this?”

“Guo Cuihua, do you really think your side of the story can deceive everyone?”

Lin Jiayi also realized something, she tightly held onto Mother Lin’s arm, her mind a blank.

Didn’t her mom say it’s impossible for her to know?

Mother Lin had the same thought, only she knew about that matter, back when they left the village the children were still young, they hadn’t made a big name, as long as she stayed firm, anyone’s words wouldn’t matter.

She had long observed and found that Lin Chuxia did not resemble Zhuang Jingshu at all.

Even if a daughter’s features resemble the father’s, at Lin Chuxia’s age, the looks of men and women differ greatly.

Not to mention Zhuang Jingshu’s husband had been dead for over a decade.

She panicked for only a few seconds before regaining her composure.

Especially with her daughter tightly clutching her arm like holding onto a lifeline.

She couldn’t mess up now. Her daughter had already divorced, couldn’t return to the Li Family, what kind of man could a twice-married woman hope to remarry?

Thus Lin Jiayi must be Zhuang Jingshu’s daughter.

“Oh dear sister, where did you hear such gossip? Heaven and earth, I raised your daughter well, and here you are doubting me, I can’t live like this.”

Zhuang Jingshu hadn’t visited Daqing Mountain Village for so long; it surely wasn’t something the villagers said.

Even if they spoke, she wasn’t afraid.

The most probable was Lin Chuxia; both were in Yan City, maybe some collusion.

It was certainly that damn girl.

“Let me tell you sister, I’m upright and righteous, don’t listen to others’ nonsense, especially that damn girl Chuxia, she’s been a liar since childhood, no truth in her mouth, I am her mother, I know who I gave birth to and who not; I have a clear sense, Jiayi is your daughter, there’s no mistake about it, I remember clearly.”

“Is that so?” Zhuang Jingshu looked at her plainly, her eyes cold, “I remember my daughter had a birthmark when she was born, since Ms. Guo insists Jiayi is my daughter and claims there’s no mistake, why don’t you describe where the birthmark is, Jiayi is here too, we can verify it right now.”

Birthmark?

Mother Lin almost couldn’t keep her expression in check.

She exchanged a glance with Lin Jiayi.

They never knew if Lin Chuxia had any birthmarks.

When Old Lady Lin gave her Lin Chuxia, Lin Chuxia was already two or three years old.

If not for the money and tickets, Mother Lin wouldn’t want to raise such a burden, so why would she care about any marks on her body?

“Th-this child grew up so big, marks fading is quite common.”

“Is it so? Then call Chuxia over, let them both verify it on the spot, either it’s faded or Ms. Guo remembered wrongly.”

Mother Lin’s face changed immediately.

If Lin Chuxia truly had a mark, calling her would surely expose it.

She bitterly ground her teeth, “Honestly sister, that damn girl is very cunning. If she wanted to deceive you, she’d definitely put in a lot of effort, maybe she saw the birthmark on Jiayi when young, then deliberately drew it to fool you. I still say this, I’m their biological mother, who’s my real daughter I wouldn’t mistake. Even if Jiayi’s birthmark faded, it could have faded after. Nowadays, anything can be faked, don’t let that damn girl fool you, hurt your own daughter’s heart.”
