Chapter 1194: Go Our Own Ways
“How can you be so biased and not leave any for the three of us, a mother and her two children? How are we going to survive after this?”
Leng Jinchen was already used to speaking to the old couple like this. After knowing that she was adopted and was not related by blood with the Leng family at all, she continued to yell at Old Master Leng and Old Madam Leng.
Old Master Leng gave Leng Jinchen a cold glare and asked emotionlessly, “Do you know why we adopted you?”
Leng Jinchen shook her head. “No, I’m not adopted! I don’t believe it! You already have a son, so why would you go around adopting two more daughters? Why would you add two more to your inheritance list and then, make them upset? Why would you be so nice to us? We’re definitely your biological daughters. You must be saying this so that Lil Rui can inherit all your assets, right?”
The old master said coldly, “When my wife was about to give birth to our second child, she was kidnapped. When I went to save her, the enemy ambushed me. To save me, my wife took a shot in the stomach. Our daughter died just like that, and my wife lost her ability to conceive.
“Later, even though my wife’s life was not in danger, she was still upset that she had caused her daughter’s death and failed to protect her. Seeing how sad she was every day, I suggested that she adopt one as our own daughter.
“This is why after we have an heir, we’ve added more people to our family. When we went to the orphanage, we saw Wang Jie, who was only two years old, and you, who were less than half a year old. After hearing about your family background, we pitied you two. Furthermore, you were still young and would not remember many things. When you grow up, you wouldn’t remember what happened at the orphanage either. Therefore, you’ll never abandon us just because you aren’t our biological children, so we adopted you.
“Thus, raising you two was completely out of consideration for my wife. If not for her, I wouldn’t have raised you two, much less treat you so well.
“All these years, my wife had always treated you as her own. Although I reminded her constantly that the two of you are similar to Ye Hai and are unreliable, my wife couldn’t shake off her guilt toward our daughter and shared 30% of Leng Group’s shares with you.
“So, when you were looking for a marriage partner, we repeatedly asked you to marry someone from a wealthy family because we wished that you could have a good life in the future. However, you insisted on marrying that scumbag that landed you in your current state. That was why we arranged for a job for you at the company, hoping that you would not overthink this.
“Leng Jinchen, we’ve been really good to you and your sister. As your foster father and foster mother, we’ve done all we can. Now, not only have you grown up, but you’re also in your forties. You can start taking responsibility for your own lives.”
“After what happened earlier, Madam and I have already seen through your nature. If we let you stay in the Leng family, you might take revenge on us like Ye Hai did and turn our house upside down. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to continue raising you.
“Before coming here, I had already recorded the video of us announcing the end of our relationship as your foster parents. Now, everything about the both of you is already on the news. From now on, we’ll each go our own ways.”
Leng Jinchen widened her eyes at Old Master Leng and Old Madam Leng.
