"It's from Tongtong," Su Wanru replied, hearing her agent's question.
Su Wanru pointed at the paternity report and continued, "This report not only contains the paternity results for Yun Duo'er and me, but also for Tong Tong and me. This is a verified fact."
She gradually regained her composure. Looking at Yun Duo'er's feigned calmness, she wondered why her sister was so cold towards Tong Tong. "I know what having a child out of wedlock means for your career in entertainment, for your future stardom! But as a mother, don't you feel even a shred of guilt abandoning such an innocent and adorable Tong Tong?"
Yun Duo'er, hearing Su Wanru's accusations, felt a flicker of maternal instinct surge from the depths of her heart. She cried out in near collapse, "Do you know how difficult my life has been? Having a child out of wedlock, abandoning Tong Tong – were these things I wanted to do? Besides, Liu Yifeng, as a man, hasn't fulfilled any fatherly responsibilities for the past three years. If I raised the child until he was three and then handed him over to him, isn't that what he should do? If I didn't let him take care of the child, what would happen to my career? Raising a child isn't easy either. Tong Tong's father is just a penniless brat, what help could he possibly offer me?"
Seeing Yun Duo'er's breakdown, Su Wanru felt a pang of sympathy.
"And you, as my sister, instead of standing by me and considering my situation, are now questioning me about this! Do you have some fondness for Tong Tong's father?"
Su Wanru, hearing the accusatory tone of Yun Duo'er's words, couldn't help but get angry. "Duo'er, what are you saying? I just want to acknowledge you. I want you to know that you are not alone, you still have a sister, and you have your own child. You were adopted out at a very young age, and I don't know how you've lived all these years. But giving you up for adoption back then was a matter of necessity. Now, as the deputy general manager of Bai Guo Yuan, I can provide you with considerable resources. I truly hope you can reunite with Tong Tong, rather than abandoning your own child..."
"Reunite! You make it sound so easy! As a mother, I raised him for three years, and I know who his mother is. But Tong Tong is now indifferent and cold towards me! Do you think I feel good about this? It's definitely because Tong Tong's father said something to him, turning my son into someone else."
Hearing Su Wanru mention Tong Tong, she exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "Before he was three, when I was raising him, he didn't show any signs of being a genius or having any extraordinary abilities. It wasn't until I participated in 'The Brain' that I realized my son was so exceptionally intelligent. If Tong Tong had shown his intelligence earlier, would my life be this difficult now?"
Su Wanru shook her head, seeing Yun Duo'er's lack of remorse. "You're truly beyond help! Does Tong Tong, being exceptionally intelligent, mean he's not your child anymore? Is your stardom, your career, really more important than your own child?"
After speaking, Su Wanru stood up and angrily pushed open the door, leaving.
In the private room.
After hearing Su Wanru's final reprimand, Yun Duo'er sat on her chair, covered her face, and cried for a while. She looked at Sister Jin, wronged, and said, "When I was young, I was sent away. Now that I've grown up, I've become famous and can make money. Everyone is coming to me, wanting me to do this and that. Don't I want to be with Tong Tong? The moment they show up, they start accusing me of having a child out of wedlock! I just want to build my own career! And then retire to give Tong Tong a better life!"
Sister Jin comforted Yun Duo'er, saying, "Family ties are all fake. The only thing that matters is ensuring your own interests. Don't listen to what they say; just stick to your principles!"
The assistant stood behind them, listening to the conversation between Yun Duo'er and Sister Jin, not daring to say a word. However, she sneered at what Sister Jin and Yun Duo'er were saying. *Stars, indeed! All excuses! Money has truly blinded your conscience! Thankfully, my mother isn't like this!*
That night, Yun Duo'er returned home alone. Reflecting on Su Wanru's words, her resolve only strengthened. *When I was young, anyone could bully or humiliate me, to do as they pleased. Now that I'm older, I must show them. I will reach an unreachable height, and they will have to look up to me!*
Su Wanru was also very angry about Yun Duo'er's attitude today. At the same time, she felt a deep sense of emotion, thinking about her younger sister, Yun Duo'er, who had left home early and experienced who knows what to become the person she was now. Through this face-to-face conversation with Yun Duo'er, she understood that Yun Duo'er's current focus was not on family affection, but solely on making a name for herself. However, she still hoped that Yun Duo'er would treat Liu Yifeng and his son well. With that thought, she decided to cease overt contact with Yun Duo'er for now.
Time quickly passed until the end of the year.
The Aerospace Kindergarten also began its winter break, so the delivery of vegetables to the kindergarten was temporarily suspended. However, the hotel's demand for vegetables did not decrease. In fact, due to the approaching Lunar New Year, the hotel's need for vegetables increased. To ensure driver Huang Yao could rest during the holiday, Liu Yifeng discussed with the hotel manager, Manager Wan, and agreed to personally deliver the vegetables during the New Year period. He also realized that now that he had partnered with a freight company, it was time to entrust the hotel's vegetable deliveries to them.
In Liu Family Village, every household hung red lanterns and thoroughly cleaned their homes, creating a festive and joyful atmosphere. Liu Yifeng's greenhouse operations had not only improved the villagers' livelihoods but also increased the efficiency of their agricultural labor. The village chief, knowing that Liu Yifeng's family amusement park was nearing completion, planned to help promote it. Liu Yifeng was very pleased with the village chief's offer of assistance. However, he knew that nothing came for free, so the next day, he brought some gifts to the village chief's house to discuss the matter.
"Uncle Liu, are you home?"
Hearing Liu Yifeng's voice, the village chief came out from inside, opened the courtyard gate, and saw Liu Yifeng standing at the entrance, with two boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables at his feet. The village chief smiled upon seeing the boxes of produce. "You're here, why did you bring gifts?"
Liu Yifeng rubbed the back of his head and chuckled. "Well, it's almost the New Year."
