A month has passed, and the popularity of Jian Xingsui’s and Anran’s bullying scandal on Weibo has died down. However, there were still many of Anran’s fans and righteous people who were still paying attention to this matter. Xiao Zhang, a man who lived near the Zhang couple’s rice cake shop, was one of them. He had liked Anran since he was a child, and was also one of Anran’s admirers—knowing that Jian Xingsui was living nearby, today he decided to come over and confront him on the spot. He wanted to expose Jian Xingsui’s true face behind that hypocritical veneer. 

In this regard, Xiao Zhang also opened a live broadcast.

Xiao Zhang has already chosen the title of his live broadcast: [Explore Jian Xingsui’s true face. Giving netizens the truth of the bullying scandal.] 

Xiao Zhang smiled at the camera after starting the live broadcast, “Hi everyone, I am Xiao Zhang, and the shop behind me is Jian Xingsui’s home. But, our current location is the small building opposite of that, which is relatively hidden. I chose this location because I’m afraid Jian Xingsui will run away when I expose his true nature. So, we will wait here for a while. When he appears, we will approach him.” 

Many people originally this live broadcast was a joke, so they were surprised to see it was real:

[Unreal?? Anchor, you didn’t lie to us about this??] 

[What do you want to do?] 

[Is it really possible to confront him face-to-face?]

[Anchor, don’t stoop as low as Jian Xingsui. How do you even get his address?] 

Xiao Zhang chuckled softly. He confidently explained his purpose, “I didn’t need to illegally get his home address, because my family lives here. Today, I’m here to seek justice for Ranran!” 

The majority of his viewers echoed his last sentiment. 

Xiao Zhang was waiting patiently. For about an hour, there were more and more people in the live broadcast room, but today’s protagonists did not appear for a long time. Everyone gradually became impatient. Just when everyone began to question whether Xiao Zhang was faking it, he saw someone appear – it was Zhang Xia who was carrying a bag. 

Xiao Zhang immediately said, “That’s Jian Xingsui’s mother! Why is she here? Where is Jian Xingsui?” 

Xiao Zhang was a little disappointed. But he didn’t expect that another person would also appear. A flashy car stopped near the street, and from there, a familiar young man came out. That person quickly catched up with Zhang Xia as he shouted, “Mom!” 

As the camera zoomed in, not only Zhang Xia, but other netizens also noticed that the other person was actually Anran!

Now the netizens were boiling, and even Xiao Zhang himself felt very excited. This was totally worth it!

On the other side, in the hospital. 

Jian Xingsui was tired, but he still accompanied Zhang Xiangyang. The older man, who had just undergone dialysis, was a little weak. Jian Xingsui said in a tired voice, “Do you want something?”

Zhang Xiangyang looked at the face of the young man next to him, with tears in his eyes: “Suisui, I can’t sleep, and I can’t eat…”

Jian Xingsui looked at the older man’s thin body and said worriedly, “It’s… to be expected. Your current physical condition… but still, you need to eat and sleep to recover.” 

“Recently, I often have dreams. Many, myriad of things.” Zhang Xiangyang mumbled. In fact, he understood the truth – Anran was the child he cared for two decades, it’s impossible to not have fond feelings for him. Despite that, during his terrible illness, not even once had Anran visited him. So what did he not understand? He might be weak, but he wasn’t a total fool. 

On the opposite side, Jian Xingsui was with him all the time, through his worst sickness. He continued his mumbles, “I dreamed about some things when I was young. It was one of my fondest memories I had. At that time, I just met A-Xia. She is a nurse in a hospital, and I am a catering worker. I deliver food to her every day, she loves it. I remember sneaking her extra portions of food out of my own wallet, and I think she knew it was my doing. Not long after, our feelings grew, and we ended up getting married.” 

Jian Xingsui smiled, “It’s quite romantic.”

Zhang Xiangyang’s eyes flickered, his lips twisted into a bitter smile, “But later, she and I had done too many wrong things, and I don’t know if we can pay back in this life…”

Jian Xingsui saw that Zhang Xiangyang was covering his body after he finished speaking. He seemed to be in horrible pain. He coughed his lungs out, so Jian Xingsui patted his back in hope to alleviate some of the pain. With a gentle tone, he reassured, “You’re still not that old, still have a couple decades left. Your illness will be cured, if you can’t find a suitable donor, I’m willing to do a blood test matching. So, don’t worry.” 

After Zhang Xiangyang heard this sentence, his hands trembled slightly, and he laughed softly. It was only at the critical moment of life and death that he could see people’s hearts clearly. The more he came into contact with Jian Xingsui, the more he discovered the child’s pure, beautiful soul. 

This matter was partially his fault. Maybe God had given him a moment of clarity before his death so he could atone his past sins. He steeled his will, and decided that Jian Xingsui deserved to know the truth and pursue his own happiness – free of the burden he and his wife had inflicted on this pure-hearted child. 

Jian Xingsui looked at him suspiciously.

Zhang Xiangyang shook his head slightly, and said: “Suisui, it’s almost… it’s been almost a month since I saw the outside world. Can you– huff, huff, can you… take me for a walk today? I want to go home and have a look, maybe see other nostalgic places along the way.” 

Jian Xingsui hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “Okay.”

After consulting the doctor for approval, they left the hospital temporarily.

When he came out, Jian Xingsui answered a call from Shen Xingchen. The young master’s voice showed a clear agitation, but Jian Xingsui didn’t know why, “You are a dead person to me. You didn’t answer my WeChat message! Do you want me to die in a hurry??” 

Hearing Shen Xingchen’s vibrant cursing lifted Jian Xingsui’s mood. “Didn’t I talk to you that day? I’m fine.”

On the day the Weibo scandal blew up, he sent Shen Xingchen a message to reassure him.

It’s just that Shen Xingchen’s family was on vacation abroad at that time, so Shen Xingchen didn’t come over to support him in-person. Shen Xingchen had arrived in China, so he wanted to meet his self-proclaimed didi soon, “Where are you now? I’ll go there.” 

However, Jian Xingsui stopped him, “I’m sorry, but I can’t hang out with you today. I have to go home and take care of Uncle Zhang.”

Shen Xingchen spat and hung up the phone.

At home, Xu Enzhen was still cooking chicken soup with Auntie Wu. Seeing that her youngest son had finished his call, she asked, “How is it, does Suisui agree?” 

The more Shen Xingchen thought about the abrupt rejection, the angrier he became. “He’s too busy for us to take care of him. Bah! Just let him die from exhaustion. See if I care!” 

Xu Enzhen knew that her son actually cared about his friend.

She put the lid on the pot and said, “Since he’s busy, let’s go over there later. That kid must be exhausted during this time. When he’s available, send this chicken soup over to feed him.”

Shen Xingchen’s temper flare ended, so he nodded obediently. “Okay, I just don’t know his address, so I have to check it out.”

Meanwhile, in front of the Zhang’s rice cake shop. 

Anran followed Mrs. Zhang into the small courtyard of her house, and smiled at her, “Mom, what’s wrong with you, your eyes are so red…” 

“Isn’t it because of your Father’s condition?” Mrs. Zhang was now angry, “Ranran, I have already asked other people. They all said that as long as they are willing to spend money, as long as they have contacts, as long as the connections are in place, they can find a kidney source no matter what! Ranran, tell me the truth, do you even try to search?! Did you lie about this?!” 

Anran was caught off guard. He was a little surprised, but he still maintained an innocent demeanour, “How could that be?” 

Anran’s calmness scared Mrs. Zhang down to her core. Her mind spun, and she began to speak uncontrollably, her volume getting louder the more she got agitated, “Why is this– day or night– it’s been months! You didn’t find any? And you, and you–! You haven’t even visited your Father! Do you know his condition right now? We took care of you for so many years. We didn’t let you get wronged, we always try to cater to your every need! And this is how you repay us? Has your wolf heart been eaten by dogs1ungrateful person.?!”

Everyone in the live broadcast room who overheard this was far beyond surprised. They thought they were going to confront Jian Xingsui, so they didn’t expect to get the truth about Anran instead. 

[What’s the situation???]

[Is Mr. Zhang sick?] 

[Wait, looking at their relationship… doesn’t this mean that Anran and his former parents have a good relationship until now?] 

[Oh my God.. what kind of plot development is it?? So many plot twists???] 

Even Xiao Zhang himself didn’t expect the situation to escalate this way. He came here to expose Jian Xingsui, but he accidentally filmed this scene. He thought that with Zhang Xia and Anran, they would have a heartwarming reunion scene, not this kind of confrontation. Mrs. Zhang even almost cursed her beloved Anran!!

After being scolded like this, Anran couldn’t hold back his face.

This was a small courtyard, and there was no one else outside, so he suddenly didn’t bother to pretend. After all, the Zhang family had to rely on their own money for the medical treatment, so he concluded that the Zhang family wouldn’t dare to turn against him now.

Therefore, Anran’s smile disappeared, and he spoke with an eerie soft voice, “Isn’t it right for Jian Xingsui to take care of you? Isn’t he your biological son?”

Zhang Xia exhaled deeply and said, “Ah, so you know that Jian Xingsui was taking care of us. How long do you think he was with us? Huh, how long? And yet, he was willing to be a filial son during this harsh time! Son, remember your earlier years. Tell me when we treated you badly! I used  to wish I could give you all my heart! When you left home, we gave you most of our savings. And now, both your Father and I need you, how can you say such a thing now?”

Anran became more and more angry, but he still held back. After all, it’s not good to tear his face, so he put out a hypocritical smile: “Mom, what are you talking about? I don’t care about you anymore. I’m working hard. If I don’t find a suitable donor, can you blame me? Besides, you are the one who insisted on giving me the savings. I didn’t ask for it, you know. Now I can slowly return the money to you, so that you don’t owe me, and I don’t owe you, right?”

Zhang Xia’s heart became cold when she heard Anran say these cold-blooded words.

She took a half step back and looked at Anran in disbelief. For a moment, she felt as if she had never recognized this child clearly.

“You…” Mrs. Zhang’s hands trembled a little, and tears rolled down: “How can you be like this? Where’s your conscience? When I saw the hot search that you frame Suisui like that, I felt something was wrong. I was such a fool, why didn’t I find out your rotten soul earlier?” 

Anran sneered and said: “Mom, what do you mean? Isn’t the hot search thing true? Jian Xingsui has really bullied me.”

“That’s not what Weibo said!” Mrs. Zhang roared angrily, “He may have asked you to clarify and argue, but he has never done anything to you. When you come home, there are no scars on your body. At most, he just accidentally bumped into you! Why did it say on Weibo that he physically and mentally bullied you? You are doing this now, do you want to kill his career? Your father and I now depend on him for our livelihood! If you cut his career path like this, what do you want? Do you also want to force us to death?” 

Mrs. Zhang yelled out all her grievances and injustices she felt inside her heart. It was easy for the live broadcast viewers to overheard. Of course, they were stunned by this unexpected revelation. 

The barrage in the live broadcast room was about to explode:

[What the hell is going on?]

[Isn’t Anran supposed to be the victim?]

[Didn’t he basically confirmed the initial rumors? Why did it become like this? What’s the truth??] 

[Fuck.] 

Similarly, a group of rational viewers in the live broadcast room analyzed the matter:

[If Jian Xingsui is the actual wronged party here, then Anran is beyond disgusting.]

[So Anran basically ran Weibo marketing to sell his image of a poor, bullied person; while Jian Xingsui was this vicious, unfilial bully.] 

[It seems the truth was actually reversed. That vicious person was actually Anran all along.]

[Such a two-faced person… very different from his image in front of the camera!] 

Downstairs in the yard, Anran was also annoyed by Mrs. Zhang’s aggressive attitude. Since Mrs. Zhang was going to tear her face off today, he was not afraid anymore. He let out a vicious sneer and said, “Mom, you just say that I am not filial to you. Think about my perspective. If you didn’t switch me at birth, why would I be in your house?” 

Mrs. Zhang choked.

“Don’t you think it’s heartbreaking? Since I was a child, I couldn’t afford to wear designer clothes, and I couldn’t even take good dance classes. If I was in my original family, would I be like this? Yes, Jian Xingsui didn’t bully me at all, but so what? I didn’t have the ability before, but now I have it. I can do whatever I want, and you can’t do shit about it!” Anran completely let go of his mask, “I didn’t feel sorry for you, it’s you who should feel sorry for me!” 

His usual fairy-boy appearance had completely vanished. He was very scary, like an angry ghost hellbent on revenge. 

Xiao Zhang upstairs stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were even more excited. Originally, this was just a small and unknown live broadcast room, but because of this good show, it was directly promoted on the homepage as the current hot show. Currently, there are two millions viewers online. Slowly but surely, this became a hot discussion topic on Weibo, becoming its own hot search. 

Mrs. Zhang felt as if her chest was about to explode after hearing these words.

After Anran finished speaking, he stepped forward again, looked at Mrs. Zhang with a cold gaze. He said in a mocking tone, “Mom, you are actually quite lucky sometimes. After all, if it wasn’t for Dad’s illness, Jian Xingsui wouldn’t ever care for you two. Have you gone to do the paternity test? If you haven’t, you still have enough guts to stand here and talk to me about righteousness?” 

Anran purposefully dragged his sentence, enunciating every word extra clearly. The implication was clear to Zhang Xia. 

Mrs. Zhang looked at Anran in shock, her voice trembling: “You… you already…”

Anran sneered complacently, knowing that his guess was right, so he said: “So, Mom, why do you dare to accuse me like this? Isn’t it you who should be the most reflective person here? Well, if you don’t want to admit it, then tell me – is Jian Xingsui your biological son?” 

Mrs. Zhang was cornered. Her hair was disheveled, and her body was trembling non-stop. At this moment, even if she didn’t face Jian Xingsui or other people directly, she still didn’t dare to admit it. She didn’t want to face the sins she committed in the past. 

“I…he…Of course he is of my own,” Mrs. Zhang said softly, tears streaming down her face.

Anran sneered, and was about to speak when the door to the backyard was pushed open.

He turned around and saw Zhang Xiangyang and Jian Xingsui standing outside, their faces turned pale suddenly. He didn’t know how much or how long they had heard.

Jian Xingsui was also in a daze. He had doubts about his life experience, but he didn’t expect to face all of this suddenly.

Zhang Xiangyang beside him took a deep look at Jian Xingsui. Originally, he just wanted to spend this day peacefully, but he didn’t expect that everything would crumble down today. Looking at his wife who kept crying in the yard, looking at the child who he raised but turned ruthless at this moment – it all seemed like a farce.

They swapped someone else’s child, so it’s all retribution. 

Everything that goes around, will come around.

And this farce should end today.

“Enough…” Zhang Xiangyang’s body was very weak. But he still forced himself to take a few steps forward, walked up to his wife, and supported her. He looked at both Anran and Jian Xingsui. 

He sat down with Zhang Xia, and gave up trying to calm her down. Let her get all her emotions out by crying. He deeply sighed while his resolve became firm. He said to Jian Xingsui, “Xingsui, Zhang Xia and I must apologize to you. You are not our biological child.” 

—After those words fell, Anran’s face turned pale. Jian Xingsui froze in place, and spoke with some difficulty: “Then I…”

Zhang Xiangyang opened his mouth slowly, and the secret that had been hidden for many years was finally revealed in broad daylight, “More than 20 years ago, the child in A-Xia’s stomach suffered a cardiac arrest not long after he was born. At that time, she sneaked out of the ward without any of us watching. No one thought that she actually brought back a child, and that child is Anran.”

This was a long story.

Normally, this conversation couldn’t be overheard from such a distance. But in order to better expose Jian Xingsui’s true face, Xiao Zhang secretly placed a wiretap in the small yard in advance. At this moment, all these words have been transmitted very clearly for the audience to witness themselves. 

On the Internet, the netizens went crazy with such developments. No one would have guessed that things would be so absurd and bizarre.

At the same time, in the Shen family’s house–

Shen Xingchen was looking for a way to inquire about Jian Xingsui’s family, but he accidentally got into Xiao Zhang’s live broadcast room thanks to the title and the “hot” label on it. Originally, he wanted to call Jian Xingsui, but he was stopped by the scene he saw in the live broadcast room. He was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. 

After digesting what this means, Shen Xingchen couldn’t help but run to his Mother who was still cooking the chicken soup. Gasping for breath, he shouted, “Mom! Something is wrong! Jian Xingsui is not the biological child of the Zhang family!”

Xu Enzhen’s heart trembled. She raised her head, her heart beat uncontrollably and fast. She looked at the eager Shen Xingchen, and opened her lips, “What nonsense are you talking about?” 

“Really, really!” Shen Xingchen knew that his Mother needed some evidence, so he told her all he heard from the live broadcast, “They said that Zhang Xia’s child died of cardiac arrest, and then she ran out to steal someone else’s child!” 

Xu Enzhen seemed unable to breathe at this moment, especially when she heard the word “sudden cardiac arrest”. The blood in her body froze, and with a glimmer of hope in her heart, she asked, “Which hospital is it?”

Shen Xingchen watched the live broadcast room again, and after Zhang Xiangyang finished speaking, he said: “It seems… what’s it called again? Ah, yes, Zhongting Hospital.” 

“Crash!”

The bowl in Xu Enzhen’s hand fell and broke, the soup spilled all over the ground. Xu Enzhen froze in place, her long eyelashes started to tremble. She couldn’t control her emotions, and soon, tears slid down her cheeks like broken beads.

What Xiao Zhang is doing is basically doxxing Jian Xingsui. Befitting of a brainless Anran’s admirer.

1ungrateful person.
