Zhang Li could not hear what the person on the other end of the phone said, but she could roughly guess the content based on Cheng Wan’s words. Her heart ached so much that it was as if it was bleeding. I lot tears flowed out of her eyes. This time, she really had nothing.

She cried silently. Cheng Wan walked to the bed after making the call and saw her.

Zhang Li’s eyes were empty and her face was pale. There was even a hint of death.

“You’re awake. Do you have a headache?” Cheng Wan asked.

Zhang Li’s head was wrapped up and it hurt so much just by shaking it. She could only say weakly, “It doesn’t hurt. Who sent me to the hospital?”

Cheng Wan said, “Jing Mo called the ambulance. He called me and left.”

Zhang Li laughed sarcastically. “I thought 1 wouldn’t have the chance to open my eyes again. Looks like Jing Mo is much smarter than Jing Yuan.”

Cheng Wan looked puzzled. “What are you talking about?”

Zhang Li told her what she had just learned, as well as her conflict with Jing Mo and Jing Yuan.

Cheng Wan looked at her in disbelief. “Is what you said true?”

“It’s true. There’s all the evidence. There’s also the contact number of the doctor who was bribed by Jing Mo back then in the document bag. It’s in my bag, but I don’t think there’s a need to verify it,” Zhang Li said weakly.

Ever since she found out about this, she had been crying for a long time. At this moment, her eyes were still swollen. She usually took good care of herself and often brought Jing Yuan to the beauty salon. She looked younger than many women her age, but now, she seemed to have suddenly aged by more than 10 years. The wrinkles on her face, which were originally well hidden, became clearly visible.

Cheng Wan sighed. She didn’t even know who to feel sorry for. Although Zhang Li was deceived by Jing Mo, she was unforgivable for what she had done to Jing Yao all these years. After all, Jing Yao was the most innocent.

Thinking of this, she felt that it was only right that Jing Yao didn’t come to the hospital to visit Zhang Li.

Zhang Li was still crying. She was almost out of breath.

Cheng Wan sighed and comforted her. “Let’s not think about this now. It’s more important to recuperate. The doctor said that you have a slight concussion and need more rest.”

Zhang Li responded vaguely. She only stopped after nearly 10 minutes, but her expression was still very empty.

Cheng Wan did not know how else to persuade her. She could only accompany her at the side and occasionally persuade her to close her eyes and rest.

Zhang Li tried to close her eyes, but a moment later, she would open them in horror and cry without any warning.

She said to Cheng Wan, “Wanwan, do you know that every time I close my eyes, I’ll see Yaoyao looking at me aggrieved and expectant? When she was first brought home, she looked timid. She wanted to get close to me but didn’t dare to. At that time…”

Zhang Li couldn’t continue. At that time, she only felt annoyed. She had been glamorous since she was young, so she couldn’t accept her hillbilly and timid daughter. However, she never thought that Jing Yao would be sent to a nanny’s house in the countryside when she was born and live under someone else’s roof. She had no idea what kind of life Jing Yao was living.

She never cared about it. It was only when the nanny passed away that Jing Yao had to be brought back that she finally remembered that she still had a daughter.

Cheng Wan’s eyes were also a little red. She had watched Jing Yao grow up and knew everything.

Thinking of what Jing Yao had suffered when she was young, she really couldn’t sympathize with Zhang Li.

Coincidentally, Wen Chen called at this moment. She used the excuse of picking up the call and left the ward.

Wen Chen asked, “Mom, how’s Auntie Zhang?”

Cheng Wan sighed and said, “She has a slight concussion and has lost too much blood. She needs to stay in the hospital for a period of time.”

Wen Chen only knew that Zhang Li was hospitalized, but he did not know the reason. He asked in confusion, “How did she end up like this?”

Cheng Wan glanced at the open ward door and walked a little further to the side. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Jing Yuan pushed her.”

“Jing Yuan?” Wen Chen could not believe it. “How can that be?”

Cheng Wan said, “Zhang Li found out that Jing Yuan was not her biological daughter but Jing Mo’s child with his first girlfriend. She ran home to question Jing Mo and had an argument with him. Then, she was pushed down by Jing Yuan and fell on the coffee table.”

Wen Chen was so shocked that he could not speak. After a while, he asked, “Auntie Zhang didn’t suspect anything all these years. So, how does she suddenly know now?”

Zhang Li had no intention of hiding it and told Wen Chen the cause and effect of the matter.

Wen Chen’s expression darkened.

Cheng Wan tried to persuade him. “Chen, as you can see, Liang Xun really treats Yaoyao very well. He took revenge on the Jing Family for Yaoyao. He started with Jingxuan and then Jing Yuan. In just three months, the Jing Family has already fallen apart. Such a person is too scary. We can’t afford to offend him..”
