Zuo Aiai had already caused a lot of commotion today, and now that she saw she was again drawing the attention of the crowd, she suddenly felt too exhausted to continue arguing.
"I'm sorry, I'm tired. I have to go."
"Why do you have to go? YOU HEARTLESS INGRATE! How did I produce such a b*tch daughter like you?"
Zuo Tianhao was so angry that his eyes were red. He grabbed Zuo Aiai's arm and refused to let go.
Zuo Aiai froze. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Huiyue reached out to cover her face and started crying. As she cried, she pulled on a person beside her who she did not know and continued to speak.
"Zuo Aiai, I've let you down, I'm sorry. Your mother has been paralyzed for so many years. Because of that, I've taken care of both your parents and raised you and your sister. I don't ask for anything in return, and I've never had any bad intentions towards you. Please...I'd give my life for you to just help your father. I'd give anything!"
Everyone was shocked by her speech.
This rich family had so much drama!
And this woman, who was so emotional, was Zuo Aiai's stepmother? They could hardly believe it.
They had heard of stepmothers bullying their stepdaughters, but this seemed to be the other way around! Was Zuo Aiai really bullying her stepmother?
"Auntie Lin, what you say is true. For the first time ever, I actually feel like what you're saying is accurate. And everyone here heard you say these things with their own ears, didn't they? And you meant them, didn't you? Since you have already begged me so much, it would be inappropriate for me not to relent...so why don't I take you up on your offer? What do you think ? Give your life, go to hell, and I'll promise dad to help Zuo Shi, what do you think?"
Hearing the words "give your life," Lin Huiyue, who had been pretending to cry, suddenly stopped.
She had just been crying and wailing, not shedding a single tear. But now that her face froze and her expression changed...the people standing around them also saw right through her!
"Hey, why is this Mrs. Zuo Crying without shedding a single tear?" someone already mocked.
Lin Huiyue's face alternated between red and white. In the end, it was Zuo Tianhao who couldn't bear it, so he stepped in front of Lin Huiyue.
"Zuo Aiai, how can you talk to your aunt like that? Your Aunt Lin has done her best for this family all these years. How has she let you down? What kind of attitude is this?"
"Zuo Tianhao, from the day I left the Zuo family, I've had absolutely nothing to do with either of you. What you think of Lin Huiyue and how you're grateful to her is your business. Don't blame it on me and mom. You've seen how mom has been living these past two years, but you've never felt bad about it before. Can you even be considered her husband anymore? Sleeping on the same bed as your mistress every night...do you really think I've forgotten why my mother was paralyzed back then?"
These words had been pent up in her heart for many years, and today they finally had the opportunity to all come pouring out.
This was the first time she felt that after she truly vented her anger, her heart would actually feel much more relaxed.
Seeing the stiff expressions on Zuo Tianhao and Lin Huiyue's faces, the crowd around them sneered and jeered, making them feel ashamed.
Lin Huiyue, who had originally been pretending to be pitiful, now had the title of a mistress. She didn't dare to say anything more. She wished she could cover her face with her clothes and follow Zuo Tianhao out of the banquet hall in a hurry.
Zuo Aiai looked at their backs as they left, but there wasn't the slightest bit of pity or heartache in her heart.
Compared to what her mother had suffered, the punishment that these two had suffered tonight wasn't nearly severe enough!
'Zuo Tianhao, Lin Huiyue, and Zuo Yunyun, we'll settle the score between us in good time,' she thought.
