Chapter 80: Drawing the Line

do my best to prevent this from happening."The ripples spoke in a hushed voice."The people suffer in prosperity, and the people suffer in ruin! You do your best, and I will remind you when you trigge...Ripple stood up and politely sent Yang Jun away. Returning to the small hall, Zhao Fenglin also stood up and said to Xianrou:

"Softly, I will transfer your household registration to your biological parents' home and change your surname back! That's all I can do for you. I don't want you to use the Zhao family's name to do anything anymore. Take care of yourself from now on."

"Dad"

Xiánróu hugged the child and got up, calling out in a slightly aggrieved voice, then looked at Zhou Mengyu who had remained silent all this time.

If you truly considered me your mother, you wouldn't have kept this from us. Now that you are a mother yourself, I hope you can understand how I feel. I wish for you to get what you desire.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took Zhao Fenglin's arm and was about to leave.

At this time, Zhao Fenglin turned to look at Wu Yong and his wife. The two stood up awkwardly. Wu Yong's face was full of guilt, while Wan Gui'fen lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the family of three opposite them.

"For Lian's sake, who grew up peacefully, I won't hold you responsible. But from today onwards, I hope you will stay out of her life. Everyone just go their separate ways."

After finishing his speech, he left with his wife.

"Mom"

Ciān róu called out to Zhou Mengyu, but unfortunately the other party didn't turn around this time. They straightened their back and left the room.

The ripples spoke directly to the delicate:

"I hope you get what you want and leave my life as soon as possible. Otherwise, I don't mind ruining all your plans."

Remember, both you and Wan Guifen are thieves who stole my life. Now it's time for you to return what you took.

After finishing, she picked up her canvas bag and looked at Wu Jinyi, whose eyes were complex and full of emotion.

"Jinyi, remember to complete your studies. In this world, besides your parents, only you can help yourself. Don't covet what doesn't belong to you, or you will pay the price."

Wu Junyi's face flashed a trace of shame, and finally he nodded.

Ripple's carefree departure left the Wu family of four.

"Treasure was very sensitive, his small body pressed closer to the silken cloth, he murmured softly:"

"Mommy, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Mommy is here."

Wu Yong slumped dejectedly on the sofa and said to Wu Junyi:

"You already know about this, so go back to class now! You don't need to worry about these things."

Wu Junyi looked at his silent mother and sister who was coaxing the child, and hesitantly called out:

"Dad"

"Go ahead! I'm the head of the household, I'll handle this."

Wu Yong helplessly waved his hand.

Wu Junyi knew that staying would make it difficult for them to speak freely, so he got up and returned to school. As a student now, his top priority was to focus on his studies.

"Ci'er, what do you want from the Yang family"

Wu Yong asked in a deep voice, which was the first time he had ever asked something so bluntly.

"Money, enough money to make sure my child and I are comfortably taken care of for the rest of our lives."

She answered softly and directly.

"The Yang family is not an ordinary family, would they give"

Wu Yong is just an ordinary worker. He doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"That's why I borrowed Zhao family's power, and this is the last time."

Cianrou spoke, her eyelids drooping.

"If the Yang family wants their child back"

This child is Yang Ziyì's shame, he will not allow this stain to exist. The Yang family naturally wouldn't want rumors of their son having a child out of wedlock to spread. Who would dare marry their daughter to him afterwards

Her lips curled into a smirk.

She had originally made two plans. If she could marry her child into the Yang family, that would be great. However, after seeing Yang Jun's attitude just now, she dismissed this idea.

Moreover, the Zhao family had already seen through her plan and wouldn't help her anymore. She could only settle for something more practical.

Do you have anything else you're hiding from us

Wu Yong continued to ask.

"That's it."

"More money doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing."

Wu Yong is cautious like a common man.

"I won't stay in China. Once the money arrives, I will go back to France and never come back."

She spoke bluntly.

"Soft"

Wàn Guìfēn choked back tears and cried out.

To be honest with you, when I found out I had been switched at birth, especially by my own mother, that's when I started thinking about my future.

I grew up in the Zhao family, and my stature is different from yours. I am not on the same level as you, and I cannot integrate into your life.

At first, I just went with the flow, wanting only to create the fact that we were living together so that the Yang family would honor the betrothal. Unfortunately, in the end, I was forced by Yang Ziyi. Now that things have come to this, I must secure the greatest benefit for myself.

So I took this opportunity to leave the country. Staying in Shanghai to continue my university studies would have made things even more awkward for me. The people in that circle always put some above others and belittle those below them.

Even over four years of university, you can't guarantee the ripples won't return to Shanghai. You can't guarantee that the Zhao family will publicly announce Lianyi's identity as a member of the Zhao family. At that point, I'll have nothing left.

Such straightforward words caused Wan Guifen's face to change repeatedly, and she choked back a sob as she asked:

"Softly, you won't be coming back ever again Then what are we to do"

"You haven't raised me for a day, do you expect me to support you Go find Ripple!"

With a cool expression, she said,

Wan Guifen's mouth gaped wide, her hands trembling as she pointed at the delicate object, unable to utter a single word.

"You should have expected this outcome when you switched babies. After all, I didn't grow up with you, so there's no mother-daughter bond between us. At a crucial moment, my adoptive father stood by me, what about you"

"You go! As Mr. Zhao said, we should all go our separate ways from now on! We're not capable of giving you what you want, but we won't stop you from pursuing your own desires."

Wu Yong took a deep look at Jian Rou and directly ordered her to leave. After all, this was their rented hotel room.

Ci'erou hugged the child and decisively got up, leaving the room. She opened a new room after that, she didn't intend to squeeze in a room with her parents either.

As soon as the heavy door slammed shut, Wan Guifen burst into tears.

"Guifen, is this what you wanted I didn't know you were so bold to switch babies. Don't you think the Zhao family will find out"

"Waaah, I'm not doing this for the child."

For the sake of the children, or for yourself When I first found out about the two swapped babies, I thought it was Zhao's rival who did it. We have thick skin, so we managed to get both daughters on our side. After all, one has given birth to them, and the other has raised them. As long as both of them are well, then we'll be fine naturally.

Even if Mr. Zhao knew our little scheme, knowing that we raised Ripple without being harsh on her, he wouldn't hold a grudge, but now it's all for nothing.

"Alright, that's enough! "

Wailing echoed through the room, accompanied by Wu Yong's sighs.

Yang Jun returned home and, after some thought, picked up the phone to begin arranging for people to investigate everything that Qian Rou had said.e. I'll hire a chef for you. Just make a menu and list the meat, vegetables, eggs, and everything else you need. Make sure to borrow the tables, chairs, and benches beforehand as well."Ripple had talk...
