Chapter 210 Do You Deserve to Be a Mother?

Tian Lei was startled.

"Hospital? Why would you go to the hospital? What happened to Mimi?" Tian Lei asked anxiously, grabbing Secretary Lei's sleeve.

Without making a sound, Secretary Lei pulled his sleeve out of Tian Lei's hand.

"What happened to Mimi? After Mimi was stolen by those people, she was taken out of the province. Those beasts sold Mimi to a mountain village to be the granddaughter of an old cripple couple."

Oh, and they even sold Mimi for 100 yuan.

Haha, my child is only worth a hundred yuan!

The old, crippled couple had no experience raising children and no money to buy milk powder for Mimi, so they just fed her rice gruel all day long.

They don't bathe Mimi or change her diapers frequently.

When Mimi was found, her body was covered in red marks, she had lost a lot of weight, and she couldn't even cry anymore.

The doctors at the hospital said that Mimi's condition is not good and she needs to be hospitalized for a period of time.

"Tell me, how could those people be so cruel? Treating a child who's only a hundred days old like this, shouldn't those people be torn to pieces?" Secretary Lei stared intently at Tian Lei.

With each word Secretary Lei spoke, Tian Lei's face paled a little more. By the time Secretary Lei finished speaking, Tian Lei had already collapsed to the ground.

"How could this be? How could this happen! Didn't they say..."

"Didn't you say you would take good care of Mimi? Didn't you say you would find Mimi a good family? And that you would see Mimi often in the future?"

Tian Lei, how can you be so heartless? You can't even abandon your own daughter. Do you even deserve to be a mother?

"How could I have fallen for someone like you? I must have been blind!" Secretary Lei said, enunciating each word clearly.

Tian Lei...

She stared in horror at Secretary Lei's calm face. At that moment, she knew that although the man in front of her looked calm, he was actually furious and on the verge of exploding.

He knows everything!

"Old Lei, listen to me, that's not how it is, it really isn't like that!"

"Really, please listen to me, okay?" Tian Lei pleaded, clutching Secretary Lei's trouser leg.

Secretary Lei snorted and turned to sit down on the sofa.

"Alright! Tell me your story, what unavoidable difficulties you have! I'd like to hear what immense grievances and unavoidable circumstances have made you abandon your own daughter and give her away." Secretary Lei continued to look at Tian Lei.

Tian Lei didn't dare to stand up and just sat on the ground.

"Old Lei, I didn't really think that way at first. It was my mom who said she wanted to have a second child, and I agreed without thinking at the time."

Honestly, I never imagined Mimi would suffer so much. She said she would find Mimi a good family!

I just want to give you a son!

Old Lei, can you please have some understanding of me? Mimi takes my surname and can't be included in your Lei family's genealogy. The old man doesn't recognize Mimi.

This also caused you to be disliked by the old man.

I felt terrible. I was thinking that if I had another son, maybe the old man would accept the child.

"I...I'm not just thinking about myself, I'm thinking about you too!" Tian Lei said while crying.

Looking at Tian Lei, who was crying uncontrollably, Secretary Lei felt a strange sense of disgust rising within him.

For the past week, Tian Lei has been crying every day. He felt both heartache and guilt towards her.

He initially genuinely believed that his work had implicated Tian Lei and caused his daughter to be stolen.

He even thought that if the child wasn't found, he would definitely make it up to Tian Lei...

Little did I expect... that it was all a trap set by someone else.

Thinking about this, Secretary Lei suddenly felt a sense of irony.

How many wrong things did I do because of this woman?

He thought he had met a kindred spirit, someone who shared his ideals, but he never expected him to be such a scoundrel.

"Really? You're thinking of me? Okay, let's not talk about how you made such a fool of yourself because you wanted to have a second child."

Let's talk about something else!

It's none of anyone else's business if you send your own child to school, so why are those people going to the school to impersonate me and try to kidnap Tiantian?

Or was it that those people's initial goal was to do it every day?

"Are you thinking that if Tian Tian is gone, I will lose my son, and you and your child will have a way out?" Secretary Lei continued to look at Tian Lei coldly.

Tian Lei is not only feeling panicked, she is also feeling cold all over.

She quickly crawled a few steps toward Secretary Lei.

"Old Lei, I didn't know about this! Really, I really didn't know they would try to take advantage of Tiantian!"

I know that Tiantian is the apple of the old man's eye, and I wouldn't dare to do anything to Tiantian even if I had ten times the courage!

"Old Lei, you have to believe me!" Tian Lei hugged Secretary Lei's leg tightly.

Secretary Lei chuckled twice, but the laughter sounded increasingly terrifying to Tian Lei.

“I know you don’t dare, but your family does! Why do they dare? It’s because you give them that confidence.”

They thought that since I got rid of Tiantian without anyone noticing, I wouldn't do anything to them because of you.

And Tian Lei, do you really not know?

Actually, after you found out what your family members had done, you were secretly pleased, weren't you?

If you come to me and admit your mistakes as soon as you find out that your family members have done something wrong, I might help you this time.

But you didn't say anything, and you didn't talk to me.

"Tian Lei, have you thought about what I would do if your family really kidnapped Tian Tian?" Secretary Lei stared intently at the trembling Tian Lei.

Tian Lei didn't dare to say anything; she just trembled.

Secretary Lei leaned forward slightly and then grabbed Tian Lei's collar.

I will strangle you with my own hands!

Okay, you should think carefully about what you're going to say in your statement tomorrow!

Old Wang should be sending someone to take your statement tomorrow.

I almost forgot to tell you, those who participated in stealing children, selling children, and trying to abduct Tian Tian from school have all been caught.

Your brother was among them.

Old Wang has already arranged for people to interrogate them today, and I reckon they'll probably implicate your mother.

To protect your brother and the others, and to exonerate yourself, your mother will definitely try to pin the blame on you.

You should think carefully about how to defend yourself!

Also, I need to let you know that tomorrow, before the police arrive, you need to come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau so we can get a divorce.

Tian Lei looked at Secretary Lei in disbelief.

"You...you want a divorce?"

"Yes! We must get a divorce! If you agree to the divorce readily, maybe I can let you see Mimi again in the future."

If you're not happy about it... well, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. Just the charge of child trafficking is enough to put you in jail for five years.

Back then... Tian Lei, you were a smart person; you knew what was best for yourself.

After finishing his speech, Secretary Lei got up and went into his study.

Tian Lei sat alone on the living room floor, feeling as if the sky had truly fallen...
