CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 185 SHE IS MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER

Using this trick to threaten her again!

Yun Sisi grew angry.

But there was nothing she could do, so she could only follow Liu Congfang out the door.

Once they were out of Xu Ya’s line of sight, Liu Congfang immediately became affectionate, linking arms with Yun Sisi: "My dear daughter, you’ve really grown up, huh? You dare to lay hands on your parents now, playing both sides—you’re something else, aren’t you!"

Hearing Liu Congfang say this, Yun Sisi felt a bit uneasy and instinctively denied, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Don’t try to fool me." Liu Congfang smiled slyly. "You came out of my belly; how could I not know your weight and worth? Did you get the people who wrecked our store the other day?"

At first, Liu Congfang was smiling kindly, her tone soft and gentle, but by the end of her words, her voice suddenly hardened and grew cold. The abrupt change in tone startled Yun Sisi.

"Was it you?" Liu Congfang pressed again.

Yun Sisi was almost frightened to tears by Liu Congfang.

She looked at Liu Congfang with a pitiful expression.

Others might soften their hearts when they saw Yun Sisi’s pitiful look, but not Liu Congfang. She saw through Yun Sisi’s act in an instant.

After all, this was her child—how could a mother not understand her own daughter?

"Don’t bother lying anymore. They’ve already told me everything."

"They’ve already told you? That’s impossible..." Yun Sisi was utterly shocked. As soon as she spoke the words, she realized she had made a mistake!

Sure enough, when Liu Congfang heard Yun Sisi’s reaction, a knowing smile played across her face.

"Sisi, see? You’ve admitted it now."

"I..."

Yun Sisi was truly about to cry now.

"So what if I did it? Isn’t it because you forced me? I already told you I don’t have any money, why do you keep asking me for loans?" Yun Sisi snapped, deciding she might as well own up since Liu Congfang had clearly seen through her. What use was hiding anymore?

"So now, what should we do?" Liu Congfang’s expression appeared even more innocent than Yun Sisi’s.

"Sisi, I have evidence proving you tried to manipulate me into making Xu Ya feel threatened. I also have proof that you wanted to harm me and silence me permanently. What do you think will happen to your relationship with Xu Ya if I show her this evidence? Will your mother still love you?"

Yun Sisi was on the verge of breaking down; she couldn’t endure listening any longer.

Why—why did she have to go through such chaos in her life?

She didn’t want any of this, not even a bit!

"What exactly do you want?" Yun Sisi looked at Liu Congfang and spoke weakly.

"I want you to admit, in front of Xu Ya, that I am your biological mother."

"You wish!"

"Then I’ll let Xu Ya discover your true character and start detesting you."

Yun Sisi trembled inside. To tell the truth, the second option terrified her far more than the first.

She was the type of person who feared nothing more than her image being destroyed.

Especially when it came to Xu Ya, the mother who loved her most in the world.

If she found out about how ugly and despicable she could be, how disappointed would she be? How much would she end up despising her?

At this moment, Yun Sisi truly regretted her actions.

In hindsight, she shouldn’t have treated Yun Shifei that way when Yun Shifei returned to the family. She shouldn’t have schemed to make Yun Shifei disappear.

If she hadn’t done that, perhaps she would still be in the Yun Family, and her biological parents wouldn’t have come looking for her.

Even if they did, they wouldn’t have had the chance to approach her.

But now, everything was ruined.

Yun Sisi wept bitterly.

Faced with two choices, she ultimately chose the one that would cause the least harm to herself.

She could already imagine how devastated Xu Ya would be when she told her that Liu Congfang was her biological mother.

Perhaps Xu Ya wouldn’t want to care for her anymore after that.

But that was still better than Xu Ya finding out she wasn’t the obedient and perfect daughter everyone believed her to be.

Yun Sisi composed herself for a long time before returning home.

Xu Ya was still sitting exactly as she had been earlier, unmoving.

Yun Sisi softly called out, "Mom."

"Your relationship with your biological mother seems pretty strong, doesn’t it?" Xu Ya asked her this question.

How could she not have noticed the intimacy between Liu Congfang and Yun Sisi just now?

Xu Ya hadn’t expected to find herself in a dilemma of her own now.

In the past, she had been troubled over how to deal with Yun Sisi and Yun Shifei.

One was an adopted daughter, the other her biological child.

Now, she was being placed on the other side of a choice.

Would Yun Sisi end up choosing her adoptive mother, or her biological mother?

Xu Ya had no idea.

Yun Sisi’s heart ached when she heard Xu Ya’s question, but she still had to say what needed to be said.

"Mom, she’s my biological mother."

Simple and direct—no emotion to it—but it felt like a slap to Xu Ya’s face.

Xu Ya’s heart was filled with pain.

It was as if all her efforts over the years had gone to waste.

Yun Sisi stepped forward to embrace Xu Ya: "But Mom, you’re very important to me too. You’re both important to me."

No, Liu Congfang wasn’t. Yun Sisi was simply being threatened by Liu Congfang and had no choice but to say this.

Yun Sisi desperately hoped Xu Ya would understand.

But Xu Ya’s expression remained cold. She reached out and removed Yun Sisi’s hands from her waist.

Then she turned and entered her room.

Leaving Yun Sisi behind, all alone in her sorrow.

At this moment, Yun Sisi had no idea that Liu Congfang’s demands were escalating step by step.

Outside, the sky rumbled loudly, and a heavy rain suddenly poured down.

The weather grew hotter and hotter, and the college entrance exams drew closer with each passing day.

Because Mu Chengzhu was preparing for his exams, the neighborhood uncles and aunties couldn’t help but show him a lot of concern.

Yun Tiancheng prepared some nutritional supplements and handed them to Yun Shifei: "Shifei, take these to Mu Chengzhu."

Yun Shifei was reluctant: "He’s probably been eating plenty; he doesn’t need our stuff."

"It’s just a gesture of goodwill. If your Brother Mu gets good grades this year, he could tutor you in the future—much better than hiring a stranger."

Yun Shifei noticed that Yun Tiancheng seemed to really like Mu Chengzhu.

Then again, Mu Chengzhu’s type was very similar to Yun Sisi’s—both were particularly beloved by elders.

Of course, their peers liked them too, so long as they didn’t realize how hypocritical Mu Chengzhu and Yun Sisi truly were.

Yun Tiancheng insisted that Yun Shifei send the gifts to Mu Chengzhu, and, with no other choice, Yun Shifei picked up the gift box and headed to the Mu Family.

There was no way she’d run into Mu Chengzhu at this hour, anyway.

At the Mu Family home.

Yun Shifei knocked on the door. Mu Jiayu answered.

Mu Jiayu’s expression soured the moment she saw Yun Shifei.

"What are you doing at our house?"

"Sending something for your brother. My dad prepared some supplements for him, hoping he’ll use his brain during exams."

"What did you just say?" Mu Jiayu’s eyes widened.

Yun Shifei froze for a moment before realizing she’d accidentally blurted out what she really thought.

She quickly changed her tone: "Just hoping he does well on his exams."

Upon learning it was a gift from Yun Tiancheng and not Yun Shifei, Mu Jiayu reluctantly accepted it.
