CHAPTER 106: CHAPTER 106: SLAPPING THE FAKE RICH GIRL 7

Having come to this world, although An Xin had not been in contact with Anning, she still, in her own way, followed everything related to the Liu Family and the Zhao Family.

By this time, the internet was highly developed, and An Xin could hide nothing from the digital world.

An Xin discovered that the Liu Family, upon receiving a piece of news, began to arrange the room and was busy treating Anning to good food, buying her clothes.

She wondered whether the incident of switching the children many years ago was not a mere mishap but was intentionally orchestrated by someone.

Anning had suspected this as well.

"I have also doubted that incident," she said softly as she discussed with An Xin, "We don’t have any evidence right now, we can only make the people from the Zhao Family feel guilty, as if they especially owe me, and then slowly gather evidence."

An Xin thought about it and felt that was all they could do for now.

In this small world, where nothing could be cultivated, Anning was just an ordinary person; she could only use ordinary methods to solve these issues.

Anning did not know what the situation was like in the Zhao Family now, her health was not good, and she dared not interact too much with the Liu Family. The only thing she could do now was to hold onto Song Ruyi tightly and cultivate a relationship with her during the few days of hospitalization.

Anning lay in bed, reflecting on everything she had done these past few days, and finally felt at ease after finding no oversights.

In Zhao Anning’s memory, when Song Ruyi came to fetch her, the Liu Family had decorated her room and bought her many new clothes. They made sure she looked presentable, so when Song Ruyi saw her, she thought Anning had a rather good life with the Liu Family.

Song Ruyi wanted to keep Zhao Mingzhu at the Zhao Family and, to compensate the Liu Family, even gave them five million.

At that time, Song Ruyi was in a hurry to return home, picking up Zhao Anning and rushing back to the Zhao Family. During that period, Zhao Anning had no time to develop a relationship with Song Ruyi.

Because they were in a rush, Zhao Anning did not feel secure; she was nervous and apprehensive. After returning to the Zhao Family, she was even more sensitive than Lin Daiyu when she entered the Jia Mansion. She dared not make a single extra move or utter an unnecessary word.

Now, what Anning needed to do was to expose the Liu Family’s wrongdoing and make the most of her time to understand Song Ruyi, while incidentally engendering some mother-daughter affection from her.

After lying down for a while, Anning opened her eyes. She moved slightly and then, like a startled little bird, dared not move again.

But her eyes were wide open, greedily watching Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi had actually woken up when Anning moved.

She could feel the unrest in Anning’s arms and could also feel Anning’s gaze when she looked at her.

The corners of Song Ruyi’s mouth curved, and she smiled at Anning, "Awake? Don’t you want to sleep a bit longer?"

Anning shook her head; she quietly examined Song Ruyi a few more times, her eyes full of care: "Have you been lying like this the whole time? Are your arms numb, are your legs sore?"

The position Song Ruyi was lying in was actually quite uncomfortable. If one lay for too long, their body would stiffen, and they would feel numb and achy all over.

Song Ruyi propped herself up to sit: "I’m fine, how do you feel now? Is the wound still hurting? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Anning smiled, her eyes curved like crescents: "I’m very good. I’ve never been this good before. Thank you, mom."

She uttered the word "mom" very softly, but it was indescribably sweet.

Such a well-behaved and clever girl, with a smile so beautiful, struck right at the heart of Song Ruyi.

Song Ruyi felt that Anning was particularly beautiful at this moment, and especially endearing, the more she looked, the prettier she became, the more she liked her.

Anning also sat up, her eyelashes fluttering slightly as she spoke softly, "Mom, can you tell me about our family? Who’s in it? What does dad look like, and will they like me?"

Naturally, Song Ruyi was willing to let Anning learn more about the family she would be living with in the future.

She got up to pull over a chair to sit down, then took out her phone to show Anning the photos from her album.

"Look, this is our home, this is your dad, this is your brother... They will definitely like you. When you come home, don’t be afraid, tell mom whatever is on your mind, and just do whatever you want to do, okay?"

Anning smiled as she looked at the photos: "Our home is so big, what a beautiful garden, and there’s a swimming pool too? I really like swimming, but auntie didn’t have the money to let me learn. This is dad, huh? Dad is so handsome, and brother is handsome too."

Anning then looked up at Song Ruyi again: "Mom is also very beautiful, both gentle and beautiful."

Song Ruyi smiled, feeling a burst of joy in her heart: "Our Anning is also very beautiful, and looks a lot like me."

"I..."

Anning said shyly with her head lowered: "I’m very ugly. At school, the students don’t like me, they all call me ugly, and they disdain me for not doing well in studies. I can only do housework, there’s nothing else I can do..."

"Mom likes Anning."

Song Ruyi felt very sad inside, but still smiled to comfort Anning: "Our Anning is the prettiest. They just don’t see clearly, that’s why they say such things. It’s not scary to not be good at studies; we’ll make it up slowly. And, I think Anning is so capable, being able to do so much housework."

Anning looked at Song Ruyi, blinking, her damp eyes were like that of a newborn animal, pure and innocent, making Song Ruyi’s heart tender.

She touched Anning’s head, resolved to protect her own daughter in the future and never let her get hurt again.

The hospital room was filled with warmth.

But the Liu Family was in complete disarray.

Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu had no heart to cook. They hastily put together something for Liu Anqing to eat, and then started blaming each other.

Mr. Liu slammed the table and scolded Mrs. Liu: "Why didn’t you keep an eye on Anning? Look at this mess she’s created. I had just tidied the house nicely, and she messed it up again. Also, why did she try to commit suicide?"

Mrs. Liu was just as unclear about the situation and of course, she wasn’t going to take the blame.

"Is that my fault? I was busy hosting Mrs. Zhao. Why didn’t you watch Anning if you were free?"

Mr. Liu was even more furious: "That little bitch Anning, daring to play us like this, if I see her again, I’ll wring her neck."

Mrs. Liu was quite angry too: "Everything was prepared so well, I had Mrs. Zhao quite happy too, but because of that little wretch, all the money we were about to get, flew away."

Mrs. Liu frowned: "Never mind the money, I’m worried that the Zhao Family will seek revenge on us."

"That can’t be right."

Mrs. Liu had a big shock: "They still want to take care of Mingzhu, they shouldn’t retaliate against us. If they really harm us, they won’t have the face to face Mingzhu either."

Thinking of Zhao Mingzhu, Mr. Liu’s expression softened: "Hopefully."

After thinking for a while, Mr. Liu said to Mrs. Liu: "Make something tasty tomorrow morning and take it to see Anning. No matter what, we must have a good attitude, and let Mrs. Zhao see our remorse."

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips: "I know. I’ll think it through tonight, and tomorrow we have to smooth this over."
