Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Mother and Daughter Reunion
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Cheng Li blurted out when she saw Mrs. Cheng. Only after speaking did she realize and then turned to see Old Jiang standing coldly at the door, watching them.
Mrs. Cheng was naturally excited to see her daughter. Just as she was about to ask how she was doing, she suddenly thought of something, and her face changed, looking up towards the door.
With just one glance, she saw Old Jiang and was overwhelmed with fear, timidly calling out, "Jiang, Old Jiang!"
"Mrs. Cheng, we meet again." Old Jiang stepped into the room and sat down on a chair brought in by his men.
As Old Jiang sat, his imposing aura pressed towards Mrs. Cheng, causing her, already feeling guilty, to sit down abruptly, with a pool of water spreading beneath her.
Seeing Mrs. Cheng’s loss of composure, Old Jiang’s eyes flashed with disgust while Cheng Li was stunned. Once realizing that Mrs. Cheng had wet herself out of fear, her expression turned grim.
However, at that moment, Mrs. Cheng couldn’t care about anything else, trembling violently. She never imagined that the person having her brought here and taking her money was Old Jiang.
Although when she first met Old Jiang, she knew he wasn’t a nice person, back then, with a gambler’s mentality, she didn’t think too much about it.
But now, she truly regretted it. Regretted that she shouldn’t have told that massive lie just to rescue Cheng Li from prison and let her live a superior life.
But is it too late to regret now? Thinking this, Mrs. Cheng crawled towards Old Jiang.
Seeing Mrs. Cheng’s actions, Old Jiang’s brows furrowed slightly, and his subordinate immediately lifted his foot, kicking Mrs. Cheng towards the wall.
If not for the wall, Mrs. Cheng might have been kicked even further.
Dazed from the kick, Mrs. Cheng blankly stared at Old Jiang for a long while without reacting, even forgetting the pain on her body. It was Cheng Li who, seeing her mother treated like this, felt a pang of pity, opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately said nothing.
"Mrs. Cheng, tell me, where is the child you picked up?" Old Jiang asked coldly, casting a glance of disdain at Mrs. Cheng.
By now, he was certain Mrs. Cheng had deceived him. As for Cheng Li, she wasn’t innocent either, knowing full well that she was Mrs. Cheng’s biological daughter yet didn’t correct him when he was mistaken, showing she wasn’t any better.
Mrs. Cheng’s face changed, then she shook her head and said, "I, I don’t know!"
"Mrs. Cheng, you have only one chance. If you’re unwilling to speak the truth, then don’t blame me for being unkind to your daughter."
Old Jiang spoke coldly, hitting Mrs. Cheng’s weak spot. As a mother, her love for her child ran deep, or she wouldn’t have made up such a lie to save Cheng Li.
"I, I really don’t know!" Mrs. Cheng kept shaking her head. She indeed didn’t know, because it wasn’t she who abandoned the child, but Cheng Li’s father.
But Old Jiang didn’t believe her. He had been deceived once by Mrs. Cheng and wouldn’t be fooled a second time. Even if Mrs. Cheng was telling the truth, in his eyes, it was still a lie, so he coldly said, "It seems you’re unwilling to tell the truth."
"I am telling the truth, I really don’t know. It was that dead man who carried the child away and dumped it, and he didn’t tell me where he left it."
"Hmph!" Old Jiang snorted coldly, ignoring Mrs. Cheng’s words, and directly instructed his men, "Show her a bit of ferocity."
