At Yun Yuchun's offending words, Zhen Qinrou felt like cold water was poured over her. Gritting her teeth, she spoke, "Yunchun, don't show that attitude of yours to me. What are you still gloating about? Do you think you are better than me?"
"Am I not?" Yun Yuchun countered back immediately, rendering the woman all speechless. "Believe it or not, without a husband and family to take care of I was more than happy. After all, a woman couldn't desire anything more than freedom. Although her created family gives her happiness, that happiness couldn't stand anywhere to happiness which I felt when I was away from all this. And for that I truly thank you. Without your cruel plans of setting me on fire that night, I wouldn't have known this happiness."
She said and at her words like that, Feng Yu Hao couldn't help but turn to look at Zhen Qinrou with red eyes. "Qinrou, the fire that night wasn't an accident but you planned it?" he couldn't believe the woman could be this cruel. How did he manage to stay with her all these years? How was he so blind to not see her reality all this while?
Zhen Qinrou's fingers clenched as her nails dug deep into her skin. Holding the darkest shimmer of evilness in her eyes, she brazenly accepted. "Yes, it was all planned by me. So what? What could you do about that, Yu Hao? I set her on fire, I tried to ruin the life of your appreciated son, and also, I plotted to kill your newly found daughter-in-law. So what?"
"Qinrou, you …"
"Nothing, Yu Hao. You could do nothing, apart from killing me for my deeds. And today, when I came to reveal it in front of everyone, I already believed that my life was almost at an end. And I don't pity myself. Do you know why?" While Feng Yu Hao was trying hard to find words against her, Zhen Qinrou decided to end it all and declare her victory. "Because in the end, after so many failures, I have still succeeded. Succeeded in my plans of defeating this one woman."
She added as she stared at Yun Yuchun venomously. "And Yunchun, you are singing about your achievements and happiness from all these years. But if you really have been this happy and content, why did you come back? Let me take a guess." She paused in her words before turning to look at Yu Hao to say, "It must be because you also missed him as much as he did all these years. Because you might have also not slept well all these years thinking that I have taken it all that once belonged to you."
Zhen Qinrou gloated, thinking that even though it was for once Yun Yuchun was feeling inferior to her. But her sense of achievement such as that remained short-lived, as the very next moment, she saw Yuchun's lips curling up in a disdainful smile.
Feng Yu Hao was also dumbfounded at the smile of the woman. Zhen Qinrou was the sinner, he knew it. And he also knew after all this, she wouldn't be left off-hook. But still, when he heard her mentioning that Yunchun might have returned for him, he couldn't help but be expecting the same. But all his expectations seemed to be getting proven wrong when he saw the woman smiling like that.
"Do you really think that? If there is anything that belongs to me, do you really think you could take it away from me, Qinrou? How capable do you think you are? Did you forget that all that you have is something I gave you in charity? And since I have done the charity, I will never take back what I have given away. Including both the man and the title." She said and her words were intended to get on the nerves of the woman.
"Heh! Then what are you here for?" Zhen Qinrou could no longer hold it anymore. Although she doesn't want to believe it, still her eyes couldn't turn blind to the lavishness in which the woman was wrapped. Her sense of style didn't fall back and this couldn't be something without money. Her way of living was alone telling her that she was living a happy life.
Yun Yuchun stared and chuckled. "I gave away the Feng family and the man to you, not my children. I came for them and have always been around them. It was just that you failed to understand it. That too, very terribly.
"Yuchun!"
"Don't dare raise your voice at me, Qinrou. You know better than anyone else that I am not a person you can simply get trifled with. Neither in the past nor in the present and never in the future. Also, for your information, let me clear it out of your remembrance. Your plans never succeeded against my children because the night when the doctors were about to illegally do their job, I made the woman you prepared flee from the hospital. Your men even went in search of her but that was of no avail."
Yun Yuchun said and her words reminded Qinrou about the events of that night. The frenzied night didn't go fruitful. "So, I wasn't wrong that day. It was you."
"So, the woman on the screen is just bait to make us believe that some other woman is carrying Shufen's child?" One of the relatives suddenly raised a question. To which others nodded to say.
"Yuchun would never lie. We all have come to know how despicable Qinrou is! She just wanted to create a rumor so that we all would suffer."
"No doubt, she ambiguously stopped the video at the point and even blurred the face of the woman because once we find the woman, her truth would have gotten revealed."
Yun Yuchun saw defeat on the expression of Zhen Qinrou and couldn't help but smile. "I never underestimate you. I know you would guess it right."
"You …" If possible, Zhen Qinrou would have stepped forward to attack the woman known to be her archenemy by now. But she knew well that would be another thing that would make her miserable, so she would dare not do that. "Yuchun, you don't underestimate me but you overestimate yourself too much. Even though you made one girl flee away, I arranged another one later. As you know I had preserved the seeds of Shufen,"
She said as she turned to look at Feng Shufen with viciousness. "I feel pity for you, Yuchun. Even after making such efforts, you were not able to save your son at that time. Now, for the rest of your life, you would have to regret it."
"I would have no time for that."
"What?" Zhen Qinrou couldn't get it. And seeing her confused face, Yun Yuchun smiled to shake her head to say.
"I said I won't have time for that, nor the need. Because I could see you lying already. How could you inject his seeds into anyone when I, myself, have made the doctor perform the course on someone else." She said and hearing her words like that the woman frowned. On which, Yuchun chuckled to add, "Now don't pretend to have no knowledge of it, Qinrou. You, yourself, know what I am talking about."
After saying her words to Zhen Qinrou, Yun Yuchun turned to look around and said, WeiWei is my granddaughter. Blood and flesh of the Feng family. I can be both the witness and evidence. If anyone still doubts it, he or she could come forward to ask me."
Her words were enough to make anyone believe in it. But Li Xue only frowned at her. Clenching her fingers, she spoke loud enough for everyone to hear, "WeiWei is my blood and flesh. She is my daughter. Mine only." She doesn't know if it was the situation or the truth or anything else, but she was feeling tired and irritated all of a sudden.
It felt like apart from her everyone else knew things better. It doesn't make sense but it was true.
Yun Yuchun turned to look at the girl before darting her eyes to look at her son. Although Feng Shufen seemed silent, deep in his eyes, there was the darkness of hell. Just depending on one string, he was holding back the wrath, he was feeling in his heart.
Being his mother, she can see it all well. And she could also tell that his ire was for no other but her. His eyes, which she remembered full of life from back in time, were suddenly full of threats that almost scared her. Scared her of the consequences.
But for fearing the consequences, now was not the time. At that moment, she knew that someone else needed her answers. Her eyes trailed back to look empathetically at Li Xue before she walked up to her and held hands to say, "You once asked me if we have known each other from before. We have. You met me six years back. It was me who saved you after you encountered a road accident."
