Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After a class in the morning, Tang Beibei was discussing dance practice with

Ruan Qi when she heard her phone ring.

She checked and saw that it was Rong Chan’er calling.

She wondered what Rong Chan’er wanted to say to her, so she answered the call.

“Tang Beibei, haven’t you always wanted to know about your mother?”

Tang Beibei’s heart skipped a beat. “What does this have to do with you?”

“If you want to know about your mother, come to the Rong residence tonight.

If you don’t come, don’t even think about finding out about your mother in this lifetime!”

Tang Beibei frowned when she heard Rong Chan’er hang up.

It was definitely not a good thing that Rong Chan’er asked her to go to the

Rong residence, but she also wanted to know about her mother.

She bit her lip, feeling conflicted.

Ruan Qi heard her story and immediately said, “Rong Chan’er is definitely up to no good. Don’t go.”

Tang Beibei knew that Rong Chan’er wouldn’t just ask her to go to the Rong residence for a chat. She had to be prepared before she went.

She called Song Zhou and asked if he could go to the Rong residence with her.

Song Zhou was very surprised to receive her call. He agreed and then told Jiang Jingchen about it.

Song Zhou said, “Rong Corporation has been declared bankrupt and the Rong family is in debt. Someone should be going over there to seize the family villa tomorrow. Rong Chan’er must be up to no good if she called Young Madam over at this time.”

Jiang Jingchen was reading some documents about the Song family business. Song Hai suffered a business setback two days ago. It was time for him to take the next step in his efforts to take apart the Song family business.

“Since the Rong family is so restless, we should clean them up too. We’ll make a trip.”

Song Zhou nodded. When it was time, he went to pick up Tang Beibei.

At school, Tang Beibei got into the car and saw that Jiang Jingchen was also there. She didn’t hide it from him. “Hubby, I, I have to go to the Rong residence. Is it okay?”

“Sure. Beibei, as I said before, I will support you in whatever you do.”

Tang Beibei smiled. She grabbed his hand coquettishly. “Hubby, you’re so good!”

Jiang Jingchen touched her head and said, “Beibei, I’m so good. Do you like me?”

“I do!” Tang Beibei giggled.

Jiang Jingchen was infected by her smile. “Yeah, me too.”

When they arrived at the Rong residence, Tang Beibei got out of the car and told Jiang Jingchen that she would go in for a while and contact him if anything happened.

Jiang Jingchen pinched her ear and dropped a recording pen into her pocket.

He reminded her, “If they mention money, agree as long as you have nothing to lose.”

“Yes, I will.”

Tang Beibei glanced at Song Zhou. Seeing that he was not paying attention to her, she stole a kiss on the man’s lips and turned to run into the Rong residence.

Jiang Jingchen stroked the corners of his mouth in a daze. Just as the sun’s light painted the sky with vibrant colors, his genuine smile transformed his eyes into shimmering pools of happiness, sparkling with delight and reflecting the soul’s inner light.

Song Zhou saw his young master beaming so happily and pretended that he hadn’t see anything just now.

Tang Beibei walked into the villa and saw Rong Chan’er, He Li, and Rong Yong.

To Tang Beibei, Rong Yong had always been one who paid great attention to his appearance. However, he looked haggard now, as if he had aged ten years. His beard was unkempt, and he looked very disheveled.

He Li’s hair wasn’t combed either. Her eyes were empty as she sat there dispiritedly.

Seeing Tang Beibei walk in, the three of them stood up. Rong Yong even took two steps towards her.

This was the first time Tang Beibei had seen her father look at her so eagerly. However, she no longer had any feelings for him.

“Tell me about my mother.”

“Beibei, come, sit down first. Let’s chat.”

Rong Yong’s tone was fawning. He even poured Tang Beibei some tea and wanted to pass it to her.

Tang Beibei didn’t take the tea and sat down away from them. “I don’t drink tea. Just tell me what you want to say. How did you know my mother back then? What was she like?”

Rong Yong pursed his lips and looked at He Li. “Your mother was very beautiful, but she was mute. She liked to dance and joined a dance troupe to earn money in her early years. Later, she went to a deaf university with her own efforts.”

“Then how did you meet my mother and give birth to me?”

Tang Beibei thought to herself that her mother must be a self-respecting person to have gotten into university with her own efforts.

He Li interrupted, “Beibei, if you want to know what happened after that, you’ll need to find a way save the Rong family.”

Tang Beibei laughed in frustration. “You can’t even save yourself, so how can 1 save you? I just want to know about my mother.”

Rong Yong said, “Beibei, you can. You are married to Jiang Jingchen. Jiang Jingchen is a young master of the Jiang family. We won’t ask for too much. Just help us keep this villa. If we lose this villa, we’ll have to live on the streets.”

“Beibei, the Rong family has raised you for so many years. Why don’t you consider this repaying your debt of gratitude?”

Tang Beibei sneered in her heart. He had the cheek to talk about gratitude…

For so many years, he hadn’t done anything a father would do for his daughter. He had kept her under the Rong roof like he was raising a dog. When he was in a good mood, he would give her more food. When he was unhappy, the whole family could punch and kick her.

Even though she was an illegitimate daughter and did not expect him to give her much love, she had had enough of her years of suffering!

“My husband is recuperating. He can’t even protect himself. How can he help you? I only want to hear about my mother now. If you don’t want to tell me about her, then I’ll go!”

“Tang Beibei, let’s make a deal. If we tell you about your mother, promise to help us. Otherwise, if we won’t tell you about your mother, you’ll never know.” Rong Chan’er said.

“What do you mean?” Tang Beibei frowned. She had a bad feeling.

Rong Chan’er sneered. “Don’t you find it strange? Your mother is a living person, but no one has ever mentioned her. Even if you ask around, no one will tell you because someone has blocked all information about her.”

“If you help us, you might be able to see your mother again in this lifetime.”

She might see her mother?

Tang Beibei clenched her fists. She was tempted.

But how could she help them on her own?

“What do you want me to do?”

“Give us 50 million yuan.”

“Impossible!”

Fifty million was an astronomical figure!

Rong Chan’er continued, “If you can’t spare 50 million, then give us 5 million so that we have some money to settle down. This isn’t too much for you, right?”

“My father gave you 15 million yuan as betrothal money before. We are asking you to return 5 million yuan to us. You should be able to afford that, right?”

Tang Beibei pursed her lips. They did give her the betrothal money. “Alright, I’ll give you five million. Hurry up and tell me.”

Rong Yong was excited. “Beibei, transfer the money to me first before I tell you.”

Tang Beibei’s heart ached as she gave away five million yuan, and her hands trembled violently.

She would think for a long time about spending 500 yuan, let alone 5 million yuan.

She took out her cell phone, but He Li took out a card swipe machine. “Beibei, swipe your card. Once the money arrives, we’ll explain everything.”

Tang Beibei sneered. It seemed that they were prepared. She took out her card from her bag and swiped it.

She licked her lips as she received a text message to remind her of the transfer of five million yuan.

Her heart ached terribly.

“You can tell me now, right?”

Rong Yong looked at the money in his account and his face turned red with excitement, but he dropped a bombshell.

“Beibei, do you know why I adopted you and gave you the surname Tang?”

“Isn’t that my mother’s surname?”

Rong Yong said, “Yes, you took your mother’s surname, but you’re not my biological daughter. If you are, I’d have no reason to let you take someone else’s surname.”

“…” Tang Beibei looked at him in shock.

Did he mean that she was not his daughter?
