Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Tianyi became impatient from waiting at home and he was about to call Su Anqi to ask her to hurry up when he heard a text notification. He received a clip from a strange number.
He opened the clip and became stunned by the violent acts shown on the thumbnail. The image was showing Su Anqi who was about to kick Wan Wan’s stomach with her thin heels, it paused at the exact moment when her heel was just centimeters away from Wan Wan. Wan Wan’s pretty cheeks were as pale as paper, and tears, fear, and wrong filled her huge dark eyes. She looked like a pitiful and helpless little animal.
Chu Tianyi was moved by Wan Wan’s pitiful gaze. He stared at the paused image in silence for a few seconds before another text notification rang. Hesitated for a moment, he finally clicked into it and became furious. He Yi was blackmailing him!

Chi took Wan Wan to a private clinic nearby for a checkup to make sure that her eardrums were fine. Then, they returned with an anti-inflammatory ointment from the doctor.
Old Lady Yi comforted Wan Wan more and lectured Su Anqi further before leaving with Fang Yaqin.
Su Anqi heaved a sigh of relief after Old Lady Yi left. She stared in the direction of their car and she clenched her teeth in anger as she nagged, “How dare that old hag opposes me!” She then turned to Wan Wan and became even angrier. “Brat, you must be happy now! Don’t think that you’re superior just because someone stood up for you! Just go with them and don’t come back if you are capable of it!”
She then extended her hand to twist Wan Wan’s ears.
Her phone rang again. Su Anqi was shocked when she remembered that Chu Tianyi had been urging her and he must be impatient. She had to retract her intention to teach Wan Wan a lesson to answer the call. “Hello, Tianyi? I’m going back right now! The car is moving now… Huh?… What?…”
Chu Tianyi’s rebuke was heard from the phone, Su Anqi was caught unprepared.
“Who gave you the permission to beat Wan Wan? Didn’t you even look at where you were? Can you please think before you act? Su Anqi, you’re going to bear the consequence alone if this gets big and the Chu family’s reputation is tainted!”
Su Anqi understood what happened instantly and became angry as she defended herself, “Did that wench complained to you about me? Tianyi, you can’t trust her words! Why would I beat Wan Wan? Do you trust her or me?”
“I believe what I saw! Get back right now!”Chu Tianyi hung up on Su Anqi before she could argue.
Su Anqi was light-headed because of Chu Tianyi’s sudden fury. Before she could think of a solution, a text notification rang as she received a video from Chu Tianyi. Her expression changed drastically when she watched the video.
Su Anqi looked around and she still could not find out which car He Yi was in when she filmed her. She figured that He Yi recorded the whole process of her unleashing her wrath on Wan Wan and sent it to Chu Tianyi before he forwarded it to her. Knowing that the consequence would be grave, Su Anqi was overwhelmed with anger, anxiety, and hate. She hissed, “How dare that wench trick me! Just wait and see, I will not let this off easily!”

Old Lady Yi praised Fa Yaqin with satisfaction on the way back. “You’re attentive for asking Chi to take some blood samples of Wan Wan! We can now make clear what happened!”
Wan Wan was extremely similar to Bao Bao in terms of age, height, appearance, and aura, which was odd to Old Lady Yi, not to mention the lack of information about Bao Bao’s biological mother had been the biggest regret in the Yi family. Then, they found Wan Wan who was very much like Bao Bao, and the discovery might reveal some unanswered questions.
“Chi, send the blood sample to a DNA test center before taking us home.” Fang Yaqin looked calm and composed in front of Old Lady Yi, but she was actually as curious and anxious as her. “We need to know whether Wan Wan is related to Bao Bao and whether she is related to Liangze as soon as we can!”
Old Lady Yi frowned and asked with confusion, “Why didn’t Su Yuzhi tell us that there is a child who looks akin to Bao Bao in the Chu family? Does she not know?”
Fang Yaqin figured for a while and answered, “Maybe she never paid attention!”
Although Wan Wan and Bao Bao looked similar in terms of appearance, they were of different genders, hairstyles, and clothing. Only those who were very close to them would have found out the resemblance, other people would not have noticed if they did not pay attention.
“You’re right.” Old Lady Yi scoffed with disdain, “She only cares about her own son, Yang Yang, and no one else. She never even asked about Ziqiao, not to mention her nephew’s son!”
Chu Piaoyun also received the clip along with He Yi’s stern questioning. “Did you not allow Wan Wan to come back to me because you wanted to keep her in the Chu family to get abused by her stepmother?”
Chu Piaoyun was infuriated with those words but she could not find anything to rebut. With the ironclad evidence of Su Anqi beating Wan Wan, the reason behind the incident was not important.
Chu Piaoyun opened the clip straightaway and threw her phone at Chu Tianyi when he reached her house with Su Anqi, Chu Chu, Ke Ke, and Wan Wan.
Chu Tianyi knew what it was about with just one look whilst Su Anqi knew well, too. One of their faces was crimson whilst the other was pale.
“Nonsense! Did you think before you act?” Chu Piaoyun was furious. “Anqi, look at what you’ve done, He Yi recorded everything! Tell me how to solve this!”
Chu Tianyi pursed his lips and kept silent.
Teary-eyed Su Anqi pouted with wrong as she defended herself, “Aunt, I was tricked by that wench! I can’t believe that she’s cunning enough to film me in secret!”
“She tricked you?” Chu Piaoyun could no longer suppress her anger and she roared, “Did she pull you onto the streets and force you to hit Wan Wan?”
“I…” Su Anqi’s mouth gaped but she was never a person to be reasoned with and she would never admit to her mistakes, “I…I was so mad at Wan Wan! You have no idea how despicable she was! It’s fine that she called that wench without permission, she even accepted a teddy bear from her! I lectured her a little but she talked back and scolded me! He Yi must have taught her those!”
Chu Chu took her side and said, “Wan Wan is getting more and more stubborn, she also defied my words. He Yi must’ve taught her that! Anqi wouldn’t have beaten her if she’s not exasperated!”
“That’s right!” Even Fang Yuan tried to help Su Anqi. “Mom, you clearly know that He Yi is trying to drive a wedge between our family on purpose, don’t fall into her trap!”
Wan Wan who was the directly concerned party kept her head low and maintained her silence throughout the whole process with the new teddy bear in her arms as if that was the only thing she cared about.
Chu Piaoyun knew that her wrath would not be of any use so she turned to Chu Tianyi who had been quiet, “Tianyi, how are we going to solve this matter?”
