Chapter 104: The Meng Family Wants to Recognize Their Daughter

Meng Jinyang entered with Xi Yan and saw the woman, who was in her forties, smiling fawningly.

It was her mother, Wang Yafang, and her father Meng Jun.

“Gu Mang, we’re just here to visit Jinyang. Ah Hao said that he misses his sister.” As she spoke she carried the boy and pointed at Meng Jinyang who was at the door. “Ah Hao, that is your sister, Jinyang, quickly go and call her.”

Meng Yuhao dashed over and grabbed Meng Jinyang’s hand. “Sister, your uniform looks beautiful. I want to wear it too. Your school even has a huge supermarket. Do you have money to buy me something nice to eat?”

Meng Jinyang froze and she looked down at him without any expression.

Gu Mang’s cold and distant eyes narrowed as she shot a glance at Meng Yuhao who had no regard for anything. Chuckling softly, she said, “If I remember correctly, you threw away all the things that Jinyang left behind as though you’d never given birth to her. Your son must have only learned he had a sister from the news.”

Her words seemed to have hit the nail on the head for Wang Yafang. Feeling embarrassed, the latter said as her confidence seeped away, “But she is still my daughter.”

Meng Jun seconded, “Gu Mang, thank you for taking care of Jinyang for all these years. She is so outstanding now and even if she returns to the town she will be regarded as having returned to her hometown with honors. Nobody will look down on her again and wag their tongues at her. Furthermore, our blood is flowing in her and we should not forget our roots.”

Meng Yuhao lifted his head. “She is my biological sister. My father said that even if the bones are broken, the tendons link us together. We’re one family.”

His house had been receiving many guests lately and was really lively. They even gave him presents and snacks. His mother had said that all of it was to his sister’s credit and the family was looking to count on her. He also wished to attend school in the city and enjoy all the good food that was available.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Looking at her son with a comforting gaze, the lady spoke proudly, “Everyone in the town said that Jinyang appeared on the television’s national news. She has truly brought honor to our town.”

She appeared on the television as a victim. What kind of honor was that?

Meng Jinyang pursed her lips and images from more than a decade ago appeared in her head.

“How embarrassing, that Meng family’s daughter. Such a thing happened to her when she’s so young. Our entire town has lost face because of her.”

“That’s right, how can evil befall her without rhyme or reason? It’s her own bad character that brought bad things upon her. Moreover, it takes two to tango. There are so many girls in our town but why was she... Aye, how embarrassing.”

“Let’s stay away from the Meng family in case we get their bad luck.”

Now they were saying that she was bringing honor to the town. An unspeakable chilliness rose in Meng Jinyang’s heart. These people were truly parasites.

Gu Mang stretched her arm and placed it casually on the meeting table as her finger tapped the table. The annoyance in her eyes was faint. “I’m not in a mood to listen to you play the family card. Meng Jinyang isn’t going back today.”

Wang Yafang got anxious and stood up. “Gu Mang, what do you mean? She is my daughter so what right do you have to meddle in this!”

Meng Jinyang’s matter brought the Meng family quite a few benefits. There were many reporters interviewing them and giving them money to persuade Meng Jinyang to do a special interview. They would receive more money afterwards.

Meng Jun, who had been assuming airs, could not help but say, “Gu Mang, don’t be too ruthless. Our family is reuniting and an outsider like you should not poke your nose in our affairs!”

Xi Yan frowned. She could roughly guess the motive behind the couple’s arrival at the school. Meng Jinyang was a hot topic and could generate money. However, as her parents, they seemed to have made pigs of themselves.

“Don’t poke my nose into your affairs?” Gu Mang slowly repeated the words. Her eyes were filled with terrifying darkness as her aura became more stifling. With the corner of her lips upturned, her ruthlessness was exposed slightly. “Sure. Meng Jinyang has been spending my money for the past ten years. Pay me back and she will have nothing to do with me in the future.”
