Chapter 998 - Tarnished Reputation

“Even if you want to be a white lotus[1], you’re not worthy of it. You’re just a wild flower. The kind that even if you grew up in the wilderness, anyone who passed by would still think of you as ugly and painful to look at!”

However, Jiang Shuwan’s fighting spirit had been fully unleashed by her motherly nature. She ignored Huang Yuhan and said to the others, “I’ll tell you now why as a mother, I have such a good relationship with Zhong Qianqian, my stepdaughter, but treat Zhong Nuannuan, my biological daughter, so badly! That’s because my biological daughter was abducted when she was three years old, and she blamed it on me.

“We went out of our way to find her and brought her back. I was so happy at that time! Yet, I didn’t expect her to treat us as enemies and come back to take revenge. Back then, their father introduced Qianqian to a boyfriend. He’s a young and promising military officer cum a captain. However, as the younger sister, Zhong Nuannuan removed her clothes in front of everyone to take revenge on her elder sister. She seduced the military officer. Eventually, she drugged the military officer and slept with him. She embarrassed the Zhong family. How could we accept such a shameless daughter?

“Just because we scolded her as her parents, she decided to move in with the military officer and never returned to the house.

“In-laws of the Nangong family, it’s not that I have any selfish motives. It’s also because I have a conscience that I’m standing here and talking to you today. I know that climbing up the social ladder through a high and mighty family like yours is out of my league, but there are some things that I must say. Putting aside everything else first, please take a look at me and Zhong Nuannuan. Don’t you think that I look more like my daughter, Zhong Nuannuan? ”

It would not have occurred to anyone if Jiang Shuwan did not bring that up. Once she spoke, everyone realized that her words rang rather true.

Although Jiang Shuwan was not as good-looking as Zhong Nuannuan, they shared certain similar features.

On the contrary, there was nothing alike between Jiang Shuwan and Zhong Qianqian.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Shuwan was much prettier than Zhong Qianqian.

Therefore, when they heard that, they believed Jiang Shuwan even more.

Even the Gu family and Huang family were stunned.

Sensing everyone’s gaze, Jiang Shuwan felt more gleeful now. She thought of how Zhong Nuannuan would be kicked out of the Nangong family later, so she said earnestly, “In-laws of the Nangong family, I don’t know what methods Zhong Nuannuan used to join the Nangong family. Whatever it is, it’s so powerful that she’s managed to make the Nangong family believe that she’s a real member of the Nangong family and destroyed her elder sister’s life. After all, she has many dirty tricks up her sleeve. It’s just too much for the eyes to take in, and unbearable to scrutinize.

“However, I know that she has no lower limit to her shamelessness. Plus, that fiancé of hers is extremely cunning, so she must have used some underhanded method to obtain DNA similar to the Nangong family’s.

“Even so, please believe me. This wicked girl is the daughter I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. If not for the fact that she’s rotten to the core, which mother in the world would treat her like this? Oh, and one more thing, please take a look at me.”

Saying that, Jiang Shuwan lifted her shirt in front of everyone.

A woman in her forties lifting her shirt in front of so many people was unbearable to look at, but the cameras remained unmoved.
