At Star Metropolitan Police Station...
Ye Jie came with his parents but he was surprised to see Ye Jun with his dad, Ye Kang. Ye Jie hadn’t had a talk with Father Ye. For some reason, he’d been avoiding the talk.
"Mr. Zhu, as you have requested I’ll let your wife enter the interrogation room but the rest can’t go inside." The chief of police spoke respectfully not daring to raise his voice at all before Zhu Chen. He was smart enough to avoid disrespecting a member of Zhu Family.
"Su," Zhu Chen turned to his wife and held her shoulders to remind her, "You can’t get agitated. Don’t be rash. We just need answers."
He Susu made a face at him and asked, "But what if I had the urge to strangle her?"

Understanding his meaning, He Susu nodded her head and went inside the investigation room. The rest of the people stayed on the other side of the glass wall.
Just in one night, Zhou Ning had lost her vitality. She had huge bags under eyes, her face wrinkles were visible and even her clothes were disheveled. It was obvious that she wasn’t given a chance to sleep last night since she seemed lethargic.
He Susu sat on the chair across from her with a solemn look. "Hello, old friend!" Hearing He Susu’s voice, Zhou Ning slowly lifted her eyelids and tried to pounce on her hysterically. But since her hands were coughed with the chair, she couldn’t reach He Susu who was leaning languidly on her chair. "Do you have the urge to strangle me?" He Susu questioned in an amusing manner.
"What do you think?" Zhou Ning retorted hatefully.
He Susu straightened up and said, "Don’t you think it should be the other way around? You separated a mother from her child for decades."
Zhou Ning was well familiar that the Zhu Family wasn’t going to give her a chance to get out of this prison. Therefore, she boldly said, "You should be glad I didn’t kill him like I was supposed to do."
He Susu clenched her fists tightly. "You!" She was livid at this point.
Zhou Ning laughed maliciously at He Susu’s black face. "Susu, do you know how much I hated you?"
He Susu frowned at her question. "But I always treated you like a sister. I never even considered you just a friend."
Zhou Ning scoffed. "Susu, your excessive kindness made me feel inferior at every single step of my life." She looked straight at He Susu and said, "You had everything that I wanted. Even the person I loved was in love with you."
On the other side of the glass, Father Ye was beyond furious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I hated the fact that you got everything without even trying while I had to always work for it," said Zhou Ning. "My only chance to marry into the Ye family was my child and yet I even had to lose him even before he was born."
"Just because you had a miscarriage, you took my son away from me?"
"Of course not! I went there to kill your son instead. I wanted you to cry for your son as I did. I wanted you to feel the pain as well." Taking a pause to pass a provocative look, she added, "But I couldn’t bring myself to kill your son. Because suddenly it dawned on me that only I knew that I had a miscarriage, that old foxy Madam Ye had no idea and as long as I’d bring a son, she’ll let me marry her son and that’s exactly what that foolish woman did."
"He Susu, your own son became my door to the Ye family. My plan to replace your child with a dead one was like killing two birds with one stone. I got to enjoy your misery and I also got a free pass inside the Ye Family. But I still couldn’t bring myself to love him. He always reminded me of you." She clicked her tongue in disappointment. "If he hadn’t been born as your son, how happy his life would have been. If he had just been Zhu Chen’s son, he could have lived like a royal prince being the only grandson of the Zhu family. But alas! He had you, He Susu as his mother and that’s why his luck took such a drastic turn."
Zhou Ning was trying to manipulate He Susu’s emotions with her words. She was making He Susu feel guilty. She wanted He Susu to blame herself for losing her son. And from He Susu’s face, she could discern that her plan was working. ’Aiyoh, our poor Susu! You’re still an emotional fool!’ Zhou Ning sneered inwardly.
"I’ll never forgive you, Ning!" He Susu exclaimed with raging fury.
"Do you think I need your forgiveness?" Zhou Ning gave her a look of satisfaction. "Susu darling, so what if you found your son now? The fact that you missed out on his most important years will always be like a nightmare to you. It will always haunt you and I’ll be right here to watch your remorse gnawing at your soul." She gave a hearty laugh and He Susu lost her restraint as she abruptly stood up to lean towards her.
With a tight grip on Zhou Ning’s hair, He Susu whispered, "Ning, how about you? No matter how much you hated me, you still had to accept my son as yours just to live a better life. The fact that you lived on my mercy still hasn’t changed. You had to spend your entire life with a fear of being caught. And today, you are right here. Karma sure caught up to you..." Taking a brief pause she sneered, "Or should I say, your fears caught up to you?"
With a gloating smile, He Susu straightened up to leave. Zhou Ning yelled behind her to stop as she tried to break free but her old self didn’t have much energy, to begin with.
