Chapter 10: Diablo 7

Then the nurse looked at Tang Wan disapprovingly.

“Although I don’t know your family situation, your stepmother really cared about you just now. I heard you were in a car accident, and when she rushed here earlier, she was so anxious she nearly collapsed! If she didn’t care about you, why would she be so flustered? Not all stepmothers are bad, little girl. I think you should try opening your heart to her.”

As soon as Zhao Xia heard this, she immediately shook her head, afraid Tang Wan would get angry.

“Please stop saying that. I don’t care about these things. As long as Wanwan grows up safely, that’s enough for me!”

Hearing this, the nurse felt that it truly wasn’t easy for Zhao Xia to be a stepmother.

Seeing this, Tang Wan suddenly pointed at Tang Yitong nearby, a mocking smile appearing on her face.

“Nurse, do you know? This child... is actually her biological son! Have you ever seen a mother raise her own son into such a skinny state while she herself wears gold and silver and lives comfortably? Even her own son can’t be properly cared for, yet she expects people to believe she’ll treat her stepdaughter well? If some people want to pretend, they should at least put more effort into the act. Otherwise, people will easily catch onto it!”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xia’s expression changed instantly, while the nurse stared at Tang Yitong in shock.

This child...

She remembered that although he wasn’t injured, he was clearly severely malnourished.

She hadn’t expected him to actually be this wealthy woman’s biological son.

Looking at Zhao Xia’s expression again, the nurse’s face darkened immediately.

If she could treat her own son this way, how good could she possibly be to her stepdaughter?

And what she said earlier had clearly been intentionally misleading, making it seem like the girl lying in the hospital bed was unreasonable.

In reality, she had deliberately been trying to ruin the girl’s image.

Hah. She looked decent on the outside, but thankfully this girl was smart enough to expose her true colors directly.

...

“Madam, logically speaking, I shouldn’t interfere in your family matters, but you’re wearing jewelry worth a fortune, yet you can’t even bear to let your own son eat properly? Even after remarrying into a wealthy family, there’s no need to starve your own child, right? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?” the nurse said coldly.

No one liked being used as a weapon by others.

Zhao Xia hurriedly explained:

“This is all a misunderstanding. You also know I remarried. If I treated my son too well, my husband might have opinions...”

“But Tang Yitong is also my father’s biological son, isn’t he? My father is so rich, so why should his own son be treated so harshly?” Tang Wan immediately interrupted.

As soon as these words were spoken, the nurse’s gaze toward Zhao Xia changed again, now filled with contempt.

So she was actually one of those women who used children as tools to marry into wealth.

But this boy was truly pitiful. His mother had successfully married into a wealthy family, yet she was still so cruel to him that she couldn’t even bear to let him eat properly.

This showed just how selfish this woman really was.

Seeing Tang Wan expose her mercilessly, Zhao Xia felt extremely embarrassed. But soon, she quickly said:

“Wasn’t it you who kept bullying Tongtong and refusing to let him eat?”

As soon as she said this, Tang Wan suddenly smiled.

“So you knew about it all along, yet deliberately ignored it.”

After saying that, she looked toward Tang Yitong.

“Tang Yitong, it seems that even as a boy, you still have no place in this family. Turns out I really was wrong before. I thought bullying you could help my mother get revenge... but now you can see it for yourself. Your mother doesn’t care about you at all, just like my father doesn’t care about me!”
