Chapter 67

She knew that she was in the wrong. However, she had been filled with regret all these years. After she brought the child back, she felt that she had let her down as well. Therefore, she treated Xu Ruan as though she was her own child and had never mistreated her. Even though her family was poor, they still gave her what she deserved.

He would still send her to school, so he didn't take away her allowance. He also didn't let her have enough to eat and wear. He let her study until high school, but she didn't know how to study because she didn't have enough money to continue.

Even though Wen Xiaoyu felt that she had let her down, she was still rather happy. After all, Xu Ruan had not been living well in the village all these years. Because she was the child of a woman and was a teacher, she was not treated well by her in-laws. Her in-laws did not like her, especially her mother-in-law, who did not want her to study and wanted her to be married off.

Because she had let her down, she allowed her to continue her studies and provide for her education. When she reached high school and went to university, she did not even go to university.

She was happy that her daughter was living in such a rich family. If her results were good, she would definitely be able to go to university. If her GPA was not good, she would still go to a good university and not have to worry about not getting into university.

She had only let Xu Ruan down. Later on, because her family was poor and her son wanted to get married, the woman said that she would only agree to marry him if he built a house. If there was no house, she would definitely not marry him. Hence, she had no choice but to agree to her mother-in-law to marry Xu Ruan to Ji Cheng. Because the monetary gift was huge, it was enough.

When she let Xu Ruan down, she was thankful in her heart.

Thankful that everything was not her biological daughter's experience and thankful that her biological daughter was living a good life right now.

Now that she was honest, she told them everything that had happened back then and kowtowed to Mrs. Lu and Chief Lu. "I was wrong, I was really wrong! I've been feeling guilty all these years because of what had happened back then and I've been living in uncertainty. I've let you guys down!"

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was about to faint from hearing her daughter's shameless words. Chief Lu was afraid that something would happen to her and thus supported her.

Madam Lu's legs were weak, and she had no strength to stand up.

She was already panting. She didn't expect that her child was deliberately swapped. It was deliberately swapped by this woman. She wanted her child to live a good life, so she swapped her child. How could there be such a vicious person, just because of greed?

So she let her daughter suffer in this village for so many years for nothing, where did she get the face to do that!

She couldn't stand this woman anymore.

She thought about how her own child had not even finished university and had been admitted to university. In the end, because he did not have the money to go to high school, he did not go to high school. As for her, what had she raised her child into? She had sent her child to study medicine and was admitted to university. Now, she was successful and famous.

When she thought of this, her heart ached. She felt sorry for her child.

Chief Lu had the same reaction right now as well. He wanted to strangle this woman so badly that his veins were popping out. He was supporting his wife, but when he caught sight of this woman, he gave her a kick, not allowing her to kowtow and beg for mercy. What was the use of putting on an act?

She was the one who had made the mistake back then. If not for her, their daughter would not have had to suffer as such. What sort of a life was she living in the countryside?

A rich missy who was doing just fine was now serving this family in the countryside.

Xu Ruan had heard her foster mother's words from the side and could not take it anymore. Those words had her heart thumping furiously.

She looked at Ji Cheng in fear. Afraid that something would happen to her, Ji Cheng had been hugging her the entire time and was patting her shoulders comfortingly. Xu Ruan did not know what to say as she was hugged by him. Just like that, the two of them hugged each other. She wanted to say something, but her throat was completely blocked and she could not speak. She felt as though she had lost her voice.

She was in despair.

She did not know what to do now.

She had never thought that there would be such a melodramatic scene. She was not her biological mother, and it was her foster mother who had swapped her. She could not accept this fact. She could not accept that her biological mother was not her biological mother and that another person was her biological mother. She had been swapped.

Wen Xiaoyu was crying pitifully on the ground. She was terrified that she would be targeted by them. She and Wen Xiaoyu were both afraid of the current situation. What would happen to her biological daughter?

Would they find out that she was not their biological daughter?

How would they treat her biological daughter?

She looked at them and sized them up. After Mrs. Lu recovered from her shock, she turned around and looked at Xu Ruan. She said to Xu Ruan in agony, "Xu Ruan."

Xu Ruan did not know how to face the two of them. Hence, when Mrs. Lu came over, she retracted her hand and did not want to let her touch it. At this moment, she ran outside, not wanting to see her.

As Xu Ruan ran away, Ji Cheng chased after her. Just as Mrs. Lu wanted to chase after her, she was held back by Chief Lu. "Don't chase after her. If this happens to the child, she will break down. Let her calm down first."

Mrs. Lu turned around and glared at Wen Xiaoyu, warning her, "Wen Xiaoyu, you better remember this. I won't let you off so easily. You've caused my daughter and I to be separated from each other. After so many years, I'll definitely make you pay for what you've done."
