Chapter 289

Madam Wan frantically shook her head, "No, no, it's not true."

But Wan Ru was still frightened, as she also felt this was the most likely possibility.

"Let's ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‍do a paternity test then," Madam Xie suddenly suggested.

Madam Xie's eyes were slightly red as she turned to look at Jing Yan, who was bowing his head and looking down, and her heart instinctively ached.

"I also find the situation suspicious. Since Madam Wan cannot communicate rationally and explain the reasons, let's just verify the most likely assumption."

As the person in power, Madam Xie shouldn't make such a rash decision. If the facts prove they were wrong, it would be an irreparable harm to her maternal feelings for Jing Yu.

Perhaps driven by Jing Yu's stimulation, at this moment, Madam Xie also wanted to follow her intuition and make a rash decision for once. She had never considered how wonderful it would be if Jing Yan were her own child, but she had often vaguely felt that the child was very similar to herself. Back then, she believed it was merely because she had personally taught Jing Yan that they resembled each other.

Now it seems it might have been innate.

Jing Yu, compared to herself, was more like her short-sighted and narrow-minded elder sister-in-law.

“Mom, are you doubting me?” Jing Yu's mind was in chaos, but seeing his mother actively demanding a paternity test greatly upset him, as if he were the one being despised and unwanted. “You obviously wish Jing Yan were your child. Fine, if we do this and prove I'm your son, don't expect me to acknowledge you anymore. From now on, you're not my mom!”

Madam Xie coldly laughed in her heart. Stripped of maternal love, Jing Yu's words became crystal clear.

She knew Jing Yu's reaction was actually out of guilt, because he also suspected, but he didn't want to face it—facing the reality that his mother was that crazy woman, and that he was completely stolen from Jing Yan, ultimately not measuring up to Jing Yan.

"If you really can keep your word and have that kind of backbone, then you do have a bit of me in you," Madam Xie said coolly, then waved her hand, and security guards stepped forward. It seemed they were going to forcibly take samples.

You... you can't do this!" Madam Wan was anxious. "Jing Yan, are you just going to stand by and watch? If you let them do this, I'll kill myself!"

Jing Yan lifted his head but numbly watched everything unfold. "I also want to know the truth. Why are you treating me like this? If you threaten to kill yourself, haha, I won't be held legally responsible anyway. Compared to what you've falsely accused me of, the charge of being unfilial is really nothing."

Madam Wan was stunned, astonished to see Jing Yan, who could no longer be threatened. By the time she reacted and tried to grab a table knife to threaten her own life, the security guards were already prepared and once again subdued Madam Wan.

Madam Wan looked up at Madam Xie approaching and was utterly humiliated. She could only desperately seek help from her husband.

Mr. Wan was still in shock. He was very shrewd and knew the tide had turned; the appraisal was inevitable, and his wife's reaction had already revealed the truth.

It's over, the Wan family is finished, and their daughter is finished too.

Wan Ru was still anxiously watching everything unfold, while Jing Yu, his expression fierce, was being suppressed by the security guards, shouting and screaming.

Madam Xie approached Madam Wan and said to her, "Resisting is useless. You should know my temper; I won't stop. If you confess now, you'll suffer less."

She was determined to verify it, but the more she thought about it, the more impatient she became to get an answer quickly.

Madam Wan's veins bulged on her face. Just when everyone thought she would stubbornly refuse to speak, Madam Wan suddenly burst into hysterical laughter.

"Xie Lifeng, you deserve it, this is what you deserve!"

Madam Xie's face changed drastically, and the surrounding people also exclaimed in surprise. Only Jing Yu and Wan Ru momentarily stared blankly at Madam Wan.

【Is she finally going to confess?!】Ji Fei excitedly grabbed Qin Xian's hand.

Qin Xian, having accomplished his role, stood by his wife's side, quietly accompanying her to watch the drama unfold.

Madam Wan was now completely insane, throwing caution to the wind as she mocked Madam Xie, "You're just a fool, helping me raise my son for over twenty years, while your real son suffered for over twenty years, with no father to protect him, no mother to love him, forced to carefully survive under your roof, desperately trying to please me for just a little maternal love. His pathetic demeanor was so laughable, not even daring to compete with Jing Yu for anything. This is your karma, manifesting in your child."

These words were so venomous, they stabbed straight into the heart.

Even a strong woman like Madam Xie, at this moment, her eyes were filled with tears that uncontrollably rolled down. She turned to look at Jing Yan, whose expression was empty, tears streaming down his face.

Madam Xie's heart clenched, and she grabbed Madam Wan's collar, almost choking her to death. "Why? What did I ever do to you that you would be so vicious? Why, just why!"

"Was it because of my older brother?" Second Master Jing suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Was it because of my older brother, wasn't it?!"

This was the first time Second Master Jing had raised his voice in anger, despite his lack of presence and having handed over most of the power to his wife. At this moment, the father's instinct to protect his child surfaced, his fists bulging with veins.

“What?” Madam Xie looked at her husband in confusion.

Second Master Jing looked at Madam Xie with sorrow and said, "I really didn't know this woman was so insane to do such a thing. I just didn't want you to feel awkward at home, so I never told you. In fact, back then..."

As Second Master Jing recounted, everyone learned about the events of that year and the unreasonable hatred of Madam Wan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Madam Xie and Jing Yan seemed unable to react appropriately; they simply couldn't imagine that just because of the contradiction between Jing Laoda and Madam Wan, it had implicated them as mother and son. How laughable.

Madam Xie turned to see Madam Wan still glaring at her with hatred, her whole body trembling with anger. "I had nothing to do with my older brother, I didn't even know about this! You clearly knew, you clearly knew! How could you be so vicious? You hate me, even hate Jing Yan, what right do you have... what right do you have!"

"What right don't I have to hate you? You got married, you shouldn't have let my husband continue to like you. It's all your fault, and your son's too. If it weren't for his birth, I wouldn't have gone through those sufferings." Madam Wan retorted arrogantly, as if she were so wronged and justified.

Not just Madam Xie, almost everyone was incredulous at this lunatic.

"Do you know why I had a difficult labor? Because we gave birth around the same time, and that man was worried about you, staying by your bedside, making me so furious that it caused Jing Yu to be born prematurely and nearly cost me my life. Isn't this your fault, you and your son?"
