Xie Wanying got up, changed her clothes, and, suppressing her wildly beating heart, went to the compound first.

The Xie family's gate was locked, and it was impossible to tell that anyone had been there.

Xie Wanying sneered: "So impatient? You just got the money from me and you can't wait to send it to Shu Ying. She's lived such a luxurious life for so many years, do you think she'd even care about this pittance you have?"

It was just that the old couple were trying to get the cold shoulder from others.

She hid behind the big tree again and glanced at Shu Ying's yard. Song Zhaodi was watering the plants, and everything was quiet as if nothing had happened.

"Wanying, what are you doing here?"

Zhao Chunjuan stood in her yard and saw a familiar figure outside. After confirming that it was Xie Wanying, she came out with a cucumber in her hand.

Li Chunyan from the next courtyard was crocheting shoes for her child. She was holding a crochet hook in her hand and had a bag of yarn slung over her arm. She followed along.

Seeing that everything was normal, Xie Wanying felt somewhat relieved for the time being.

"It's nothing. My parents came to my place this morning, but they only exchanged a few words before they had to rush to the hospital to see Zhiyan. I thought it wasn't easy for them to come back, so I bought some fruit to visit them. I didn't expect them to still be here."

Li Chunyan and Zhao Lijuan exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat subtle.

"Your parents left at noon, didn't you know?"

Xie Wanying felt a surge of excitement.

They've left?

So they didn't see Song Zhaodi at all?

She suppressed the urge to smile and asked again to confirm, "My parents are gone? Didn't they just get back yesterday? Could you two have made a mistake?"

Zhao Lijuan took a bite of cucumber and said firmly, "How could that be? They only had one day off. They were picked up from the hospital after lunch. Many people saw it."

Li Chunyan was also somewhat suspicious: "You didn't know about this? Didn't you just say that your parents went to your house this morning? Didn't they tell you?"

Xie Wanying shook her head: "Perhaps they forgot because they were in such a hurry."

Zhao Lijuan still remembered her strange expression last time, and asked with concern, "By the way, Wanying, you seemed very uncomfortable after hearing Song Zhaodi's name last time. Do you two have some kind of grudge?"

Xie Wanying's smile was somewhat forced, but she quickly covered it up: "We've never met before, so how could we have any grudges? I just thought the name was strange, and I was thinking about my parents, who might be coming back soon, so I was in a hurry to prepare gifts for them and forgot to say goodbye before leaving."

She skillfully changed the subject, and Li Chunyan put down her crochet hook: "If you ask me, your parents did something wrong today. You are their biological daughter. Even if they are busy, they should tell you when you are leaving. Now they have made you come all this way for nothing, and it's really hard to believe."

Xie Wanying lowered her head. These two had already set up the stage, so of course she had to make good use of it.

"Perhaps it's because I'm not liked by my parents. Ever since Shuying came, my parents' attitude towards me has changed a lot. They've asked me for a lot of things to give to Shuying."

The two exchanged a glance. How could such a thing exist in the world? Asking their own daughter for something to give to their daughter-in-law!

Such a niche term, they didn't even know where to begin to find it unbelievable.

“My parents always felt that I wasn’t as sensible as Shuying. Maybe it’s because I’m not good at putting on a show. I thought I was their biological daughter. They knew I was just not good at expressing myself. Maybe they felt that I was still not as good as Shuying, so they didn’t even tell me when they left.”

Xie Wanying said with tears in her eyes, "It's my own fault for not being capable enough. I can't blame others. If only I could do everything, if only I were a boy, so I could bring honor to my parents."

The more Xie Wanying spoke, the more the two of them felt sorry for her.

Zhao Lijuan took a big bite of cucumber: "You're just too kind. I told you long ago not to be so soft-hearted. Now look what's happened, your parents are going to be taken away by Shu Ying. If you ask me, Shu Ying is really scheming."

Xie Wanying's tears fell in a stream. She held Li Chunyan's hand and said, "You two can just say these things to me. Please don't let my brother hear them. Now that they are of one mind, my brother is convinced that I want to harm him. We should stop seeing each other from now on. After all, you live here. If Shuying sees you and makes things difficult for you again, how can I live with myself?"

Zhao Lijuan and Li Chunyan's eyes reddened as they listened: "Wanying, we've done nothing wrong, what's there to be afraid of? This isn't your fault at all. We've known you long before these rumors, do you think we don't know what kind of person you are? That Shuying has the mindset of a capitalist, not only is she heartless but she also knows how to put on a show. Fortunately, our children no longer play with her two children. I heard that her children will soon be going to the military kindergarten, and who knows how many children they'll corrupt then."

Zhao Lijuan nodded to herself: "I can tell at a glance that Shu Ying is no good. When the time comes, we'll all ignore her, and I'll see if she'll still have the nerve to hang out with us."

Xie Wanying awkwardly comforted the two of them: "Actually, you don't need to completely cut off contact with her because of me. After all, you'll see each other all the time. Just treat my situation as a joke. This is just my fate in this life."

Zhao Lijuan disagreed: "Don't talk about yourself like that. We can't stand her simply because of her own behavior."

Xie Wanying turned her head and glanced again in the direction of Shu Ying's courtyard, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

Although they escaped this time, as long as Song Zhaodi is still here, she is a ticking time bomb.

Xie Zhiyan will be discharged from the hospital sooner or later. If he sees Song Zhaodi, will he become suspicious?

Once the Fang family finds out she's not the Xie family's biological daughter, they'll definitely want a divorce. And to make matters worse, she hasn't gotten pregnant all these years; her belly is really letting her down.

When Xie Wanying returned home that evening, Fang Deshan had already left work. Hearing the door open, he eagerly put on his slippers and came to take her coat.

"I heard from Aunt Gui that my father-in-law and mother-in-law came this morning. Weren't they supposed to be back on vacation for a while? Why didn't they say anything before coming back?"

A hint of unease flashed across Xie Wanying's face as she lowered her head to change her shoes, avoiding Fang Deshan's gaze.

"It's nothing. They just heard about Zhiyan's injury at work, and since they had a day off today, they came to visit her. They went back early after lunch, and it will be a while before she officially takes leave."

Fang Deshan nodded and helped her sit down: "Did your parents say anything when they came over? It just so happened that I arrived at work early today and didn't have time to properly greet them. I hope they don't have any objections?"
