C2 The Truth

The truth.

South of the city, Qingyuan Residence.

Tang Miaoyu got out of the taxi at the entrance of the community. She ran back home without even taking a breath.

Tang Miaoyu saw Xue Zhupei cooking in the kitchen and ran in without saying anything. She took the potato in her hand and put it down, "Mom, I have something important to ask you."

"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?" Xue Zhupei's words were a little harsh. She glared at her unhappily.

"Mom, I just want to ask you, was the fiancee that the old man of Qin family made for Mr. Qin Zhengnan, me or Miaoxue?" Tang Miaoyu's red eyes stared at Xue Zhupei.

Xue Zhupei was stunned and an unnoticeable embarrassment slid across her face, which was covered with delicate makeup. She lifted her eyes to look at Tang Miaoyu and her tone instantly softened, "Miaoyu, why are you asking this out of the blue?"

"I found out Miaoxue and Zhou Shaohui were together. She said that I was Qin Zhengnan's fiancée. Mom, you wouldn't lie to me, right?" Since the matter had already happened, she didn't want to hide anything.

She just wanted to find out what the engagement was all about.

"What? Miaoxue and Shaohui are together?" Xue Zhupei obviously did not expect that her precious daughter would do such an outrageous thing. She asked in shock with her eyes wide open.

However, Xue Zhupei was after all a person who had seen the world. Very quickly, she calmed down and had a look of understanding on her face.

"Mom, tell me the truth!"

Her sister and boyfriend had already betrayed her. She did not want her parents, who she only relied on, to hide something from her.

"Alright! Then I won't hide this from you!" Xue Zhupei was very smart and pulled her upstairs.

Xue Zhupei went to the study room and pulled open the drawer under the bookshelf. She took out a red book and handed it to Tang Miaoyu, "This is the engagement written by the old master of Qin family in the past. Take a look yourself!"

Tang Miaoyu quickly took the book and opened it. Two lines of bold and elegant calligraphy appeared in front of her eyes.

"The daughter of Tang family, Miaoxue, is dignified and virtuous. She is a good match with my grandson, Qin Zhengnan. I specially made an engagement for the two children and wait for the girl to finish her marriage after graduating from university."

The signature was a private stamp of "Qin Zhiguo." It was indeed the name of Qin Zhengnan's grandfather.

Tang Miaoyu could tell at a glance that the handwriting had been tampered with.

It was obvious that the truth was not what her mother had said.

It was not difficult to find out that the words "Tang family's daughter Miaoyu" was the original handwriting.

"How could this be?" Tang Miaoyu looked at the two rows of words in disbelief. It was as if those words had become ropes that wrapped around her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Miaoyu!" Xue Zhupei raised her hand and stroked Tang Miaoyu's back, her face full of apologies. "That year, the old man of Qin family did indeed like you. He liked you the moment he saw you. So he did not hesitate to make this engagement for you. However, Miaoxue had seen Qin Zhengnan at that time. She liked Qin Zhengnan. So she mischievously changed the name to hers. Since you know now, let Miaoxue return Qin Zhengnan to you. Anyway, the old man of Qin family is confused now. He can't remember these things!"

"She is just naughty? Give it back to me now?" Tang Miaoyu angrily closed the red book in her hand and looked coldly at Xue Zhupei, "Mom, your motive for hiding it from me for so long, is it not because you have taken a liking to the Qin family's Young Madam title? Now that Qin Zhengnan has become like that, you don't want him anymore before thinking of me?"

Xue Zhupei saw Tang Miaoyu being so overbearing and she did not continue to pretend and turned back to that impatient face, "Tang Miaoyu, so what if it is? Isn't this very normal? Although Qin family has money and power, Qin Zhengnan is already crippled. I definitely cannot sacrifice Miaoxue's happiness for the rest of her life!"

Besides, it was said that Qin Zhengnan was very cruel after he was crippled. Every month, one of the servants of the Qin family would die for no reason.

"Then you can sacrifice me?" Tang Miaoyu's eyes were red. She tried her best to hold back her tears. "For so many years, I will do whatever you want me to do. It is because you promised me that you would not interfere with my business. Why don't you keep your promise?"

This was the family that she was willing to work hard to repay for their nurturing. Why did they suddenly become so strange and terrifying?

"You heartless thing!" Xue Zhupei snorted coldly and glared at Tang Miaoyu. "We have raised you until you graduate from college. Did we let you down? Besides, I am not harming you! Even though Qin Zhengnan is crippled, the Qin family was still the most powerful family in Ning City. You will still be very glorious if you marry him!"

" I will not marry him! " Tang Miaoyu was afraid that she would cry, so she said those words and ran away.
