Zhong Manhua’s heart was in turmoil, filled mostly with fear.
How did her daughter suddenly become someone she could only look up to?
"I don’t care if you took my daughter," Su Wen’s gaze fell on Zhong Manhua, closing her eyes briefly, her voice rising, "but you took her and recognized her as your own daughter, why did you treat her that way?"
She finally couldn’t hold back and slapped Zhong Manhua directly.
Zhong Manhua’s face turned pale bit by bit: "I, I..."
She could still use postpartum depression and hysteria as an excuse for what happened twenty years ago.
But for drawing blood, she had no excuse at all.
On one hand, she was trying to please Ying Luwei and Old Madam Ying.
On the other hand, she really disliked Ying Zijin who came back from the countryside, knowing nothing and only embarrassing her.
It was just drawing blood, not taking a life.
"Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the Gene Lock, my daughter would have been killed by you already." Su Wen said coldly, "You are truly incredible, losing one and finding another to replace her."
"Additionally, Yaoyao is the young lady of our Leaangle Family, not the Ying Family, you’re not worthy."
Zhong Manhua started shivering again, her lips turning white.
She covered her ears and screamed, "Stop it... stop saying it!"
If she had known from the start that Ying Zijin would become so outstanding, how could she have treated her like that?
She definitely would have treated Ying Zijin well, enjoying all the glory and honor in the future.
Even Su Wen would have to stand aside.
How did it become like this?
"This is the gift I give you." Su Wen smiled slightly, "Rest assured, you won’t be able to go crazy for life, don’t think of using madness to escape reality, living is more painful."
After speaking, she no longer looked at Zhong Manhua, holding Ying Zijin’s hand tightly: "Yaoyao, let’s go."
Ying Zijin didn’t spare Zhong Manhua a glance, her expression calm, as she followed Su Wen away.
"No!" Zhong Manhua cried out emotionally, "Zijin! Zijin!"
"Stop calling her." Master Zhong interrupted her lightly, "Zijin is not your daughter, you’re not worthy of having such a good daughter, you’re not fit to be a mother."
He walked out with his hands behind his back, still with tear stains on his face.
In that moment, he aged a lot.
Zhong Manhua opened her mouth, her face even paler, her forehead dripping with cold sweat: "No... I don’t want it, I don’t want it!"
She would rather continue being crazy than face the cold truth.
She had accidentally killed her own biological daughter, and then was struck down by Ying Zijin’s biological mother.
Zhong Manhua experienced a true Top Noble Family.
The disparity was too great for her to accept.
But she couldn’t go crazy even if she wanted to.
Zhong Manhua cried out loud.
For the rest of her life, she would have to live in intense pain and regret.
Never finding peace, until death.

Old Master Zhong returned dejectedly to the Zhong Family’s old house, unable to calm down for a long time.
At noon, Ying Tianlv returned from the Ying Corporation, and seeing him like this, was somewhat confused: "Grandfather, what’s wrong?"
"You’re here." Old Master Zhong pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down, I’ll tell you something."
His expression was very serious, making Ying Tianlv somewhat apprehensive.
He tightened his lips and refused: "Grandfather, I don’t want to go on a blind date."
"Get lost!" Old Master Zhong shouted angrily, "Who arranged a blind date for you? Do you think you’re worthy of having a girlfriend? You don’t deserve one."
Ying Tianlv: "..."
He respectfully handed a cup of tea to Old Master Zhong: "Grandfather, I’m sorry."
Old Master Zhong snorted coldly and recounted Ying Zijin’s circumstances.
Ying Tianlv was also shocked: "Then... then how come the paternity test report I saw in the Ying Corporation’s safe was blank?"
No matter how miraculous the Gene Lock is, it shouldn’t make the paternity test blank, should it?
Old Master Zhong paused thoughtfully, then sighed: "I switched it, trying to test your attitude."
Ying Tianlv was stunned: "My attitude?"
"At that time, you knew Ying Yuexuan was not your biological sister, and she hadn’t done anything, yet your attitude changed significantly." Old Master Zhong shook his head, "Living together for over ten years, being doted on for over ten years, yet suddenly treating her like a stranger?"
"Later, I redid the paternity test report for Zijin and Zhong Manhua, found out she wasn’t your sister either, and thought you only valued blood relations, so I switched the test report to see how you would react."
"Beep beep beep—"
