At that moment, Di Anran had a bad feeling about it. As her mother dragged her towards the gate and she saw the house that had been burnt down, she felt even more scared.
“Mummy, why did you want me to see the burnt house? You’re- You’re scaring me…”
Xie Qingyan showed a warm smile.
“You’re scared? Anran, when you were screaming at our Qianqian earlier, why didn’t you think that your arrogance and horrible words would scare our little girl?”
“Our… Our Qianqian?”
Di Anran was confused. She couldn’t understand what was happening.
“Do you know why we’re staying here? The house over there belonged to Qianqian’s adopted parents. They were horrible people. The lady of that household wanted her daughter to live a good life and decided to swap out my daughter for hers. When I was giving birth to my daughter, they secretly took my daughter away, and I have been separated from her all these years.”
Di Anran wasn’t dumb. Xie Qingyan had already made it clear, and based on how her family was treating her, she already knew what was happening.
However, understanding it was one matter and accepting it was another.
Her heart was beating so hard that it was about to jump out of her chest.
Di Anran widened her eyes in shock and her mouth hung open, looking like a fish that had been just fished out of the water and was struggling to breathe.
Xie Qingyan didn’t stop, continuing to talk, “The lady from that household is called Cheng Shuyu. She was the one who took my daughter. If she was a little kinder to my daughter, I would never have hated her, but she was an evil person. She took my daughter and never treated her nicely. My daughter was a smart girl who could have been a good doctor, but because she looked gorgeous, that woman forced her into drama school. This way, she could use my daughter as a way to earn money.
“But my daughter never got the money that she earned with her hard work. Their business failed because they were bad at it. This was the reason they used to take all the money from my daughter. Every single penny that she earned had been taken away from her. Not only that, that woman has two other children of her own. My daughter was considered a part of their family legally, but she was only a maid. No matter if it was just a doll or boyfriends, as long as it was something that my daughter had, their daughter would take it away.
“Anran, you grew up in our family. Have we ever treated you this way?”
Seeing how Xie Qingyan was smiling, she couldn’t feel any warmth from her mother. Di Anran shook her head and subconsciously took a few steps backward, keeping her head down so that she wouldn’t see the house that had been burnt down.
“Mummy, you’re scaring me. I’m scared. Please… Mummy, don’t do this.”
When Xie Qingyan saw the fear in Di Anran’s eyes, she felt happy, but the hatred in her heart grew.
“I was just telling you the truth and you’re scared? Anran, I always thought that you were someone with courage. You seem to be weak and fragile, but aren’t all your friends afraid of you? If there’s anyone who didn’t do as you’ve told, you would want their families to end up in bankruptcy. I always thought that you were a brave girl. Why are you suddenly acting like a gullible white rabbit? This isn’t you!”
Di Anran’s eyes were completely stretched wide.
