When She Stops Being Dramatic

Chapter 277: Chapter 111: Top Star of the ’60s Cultural Troupe (50)

Xia Zhaoyun chuckled. ”I’ve already obtained the hospital’s medical report from that time, and I’ve also had someone ask around your neighborhood.”

”The baby girl you took home... you told everyone you found her. And before Song Zhenbao arrived, you were about to marry her off to your own idiot son...”

In truth, this was all information Song Zhenbao had told her in her past life. The Song Family had destroyed all the relevant evidence from the hospital long ago.

This proved that the Song Family had known all along she wasn’t their biological daughter. No wonder they had beaten and cursed her without a shred of hesitation.

Xia Zhaoyun’s eyes glinted coldly. ’Or perhaps... it wasn’t just the Zhang family who had ill intent. After their own daughter was stolen, what were the Song Family’s motives for quietly taking someone else’s child and passing her off as their own?’

’Unfortunately, this all happened eighteen years ago. Without any records, it would be difficult to find evidence, and she had no way to follow the clues to find her birth parents.’

Xia Zhaoyun could only cling to the hope that she, too, had been eagerly awaited when she came into this world. ’And maybe, just maybe, her birth parents hadn’t forgotten her, even now?’

This was yet another bombshell. The crowd glared furiously at the couple.

These folks might bicker endlessly amongst themselves over the most trivial things, but they were fiercely united. When it came to outsiders, they didn’t pull any punches, genuinely treating the factory as their home.

Whether it was Song Zhenbao or Xia Zhaoyun, both were girls from the factory. How could they stand by and let this pair come here and treat people like idiots, trying to take them for a ride?

”I’m telling you, comrades, stop telling such blatant lies. There’s no way the two of you could produce a girl as beautiful as Yun.”

”You couldn’t accept that your own child died, so you stole someone else’s? That’s like tearing the flesh from a mother’s heart! What you did is a crime!”

”Your plan to make Song Zhenbao your idiot son’s wife fell through, so now you’re setting your sights on Yun? Are you looking down on all of us here at the Zhaoyang Clothing Factory, or do you think Little Hero Huo is just a pushover?”

”I think there’s something fishy going on here. We have to get the police to investigate. Maybe they can even help Yun find her real parents...”

Everyone agreed. Get the police involved and see how the pair of them could possibly squirm their way out of this!

The couple knew the whole story better than anyone, and it was exactly as Xia Zhaoyun had described.

Seeing that they weren’t getting anywhere and were about to be hauled off to the police station, they quickly waved their hands and threw Song Mother under the bus. ”This has nothing to do with us! It was this woman who called us here! She said she’d give us two hundred yuan if we took the girl back to the countryside, no matter what...”

All eyes shot to Song Mother.

She trembled with rage. ”You’re lying! And to think I invited you here for the ceremony out of gratitude for raising my Zhenbao. I can’t believe you’d be plotting something like this.”

”Yunyun, it was Mom... It was Auntie’s fault. I was just trying to make it up to you. I really thought they were your birth parents and were eager for you to come home.”

The Zhang couple immediately shot back, ”You city folk are so damn cunning. The phone in our village brigade is a party line—a lot of people heard the call! They can come and testify.”

Song Mother leaned heavily on the table, forcing a smile. ”You two are full of nothing but lies. In that backwater place you come from, you all stick together when it comes to wife trafficking. Even the police don’t dare to mess with you.”

”You got your stories straight before you came, and now that you’ve been exposed, you’re trying to drag me down with you?”

”Whatever else you might say, I still raised Yunyun for eighteen years. Yes, I was demanding and my methods were harsh. But you can’t just sever an eighteen-year bond in an instant!”

”I could never stand by and watch her go off to suffer in the countryside. If that were the case, why would we have given you money after Zhenbao came home, just so Yunyun could stay with us?”

”Today is Zhenbao’s engagement party. We won’t hold this against you, but starting today, you are not to show your faces at the Zhaoyang Clothing Factory for any reason.”

”I’ll have a word with the gate guard!”

”Or would you rather wait here for the police to arrive?”

’As long as things didn’t reach a breaking point, who would really go all the way out to the Zhang family’s hometown to investigate?’

’So, she had to insist on her innocence and try to de-escalate the situation.’

The thought of missing another chance to cause trouble for Xia Zhaoyun filled Song Mother with resentment, frustration, and fury.

The Zhang couple could only stare, dumbfounded. They were considered absolute scoundrels back in their village, but they never expected to meet a woman even more shameless than them—one who could turn black into white with a single sentence!
