Chapter 81 The fist is hard
Tu Mumu's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the ward to hear.
This time, not only were the An family members stunned, but even Ye Lishan couldn't believe what she had heard.
Ye Lishan knew very well that this was the only bargaining chip she had left to negotiate with the An family.
She originally thought that the An family disagreed with her conditions because they were angry because they knew they had been deceived. She believed that they would eventually understand once they calmed down, and that getting information from her and Tu Mumu was the most reliable way.
Moreover, even she, as his aunt, didn't know where Tu Lanren had gone, so the An family certainly wouldn't be able to find out so easily.
Even if the An family did notice Tu Lan, they would never be able to confirm whether she was the one who saved An Jun in person unless they could find her and ask her directly.
They'll find out sooner or later, so asking her, the one in the know, is the best way. Then she can set whatever conditions she wants.
As for the other insider, Tu Mumu, Ye Lishan felt that she would never tell the truth.
Even Ye Lishan could tell that An Yun had doubts about the origin of the jade pendant, but Tu Mumu was still lying through her teeth, trying to use her fake identity to soften An Yun's heart and prevent her from breaking up with her.
Therefore, given her obsessive mindset, how could she possibly take the initiative to confess and cut off her only way out?
But now, Tu Mumu is actually going to tell the truth?
While everyone was still stunned, Tu Mumu continued to speak without hesitation.
"That jade pendant was stolen from my cousin, whose name is Tu Lan."
She came to my house when she was sixteen. Before that, she had always lived in her hometown, a small village under Huailin Town where you woke up. My father died after she had only been there for a year, and my mother kicked her out.
You can look up the rest yourselves; I don't know where she went after that.
She actually told me on her own initiative... and she didn't lie at all.
Tu Lan was indeed kicked out when she was seventeen.
Ye Lishan has always had this kind of attitude. Back then, she said her husband was cursed to death by Tu Lan, and that Tu Lan was capable of supporting herself, so she shouldn't shamelessly stay in someone else's house like a beggar.
After that, they lost contact with Tu Lan, mainly because they didn't care about such things at all, and naturally had no idea where Tu Lan went afterward.
The An family felt their fists harden after hearing this.
Why are there people like Ye Lishan in this world? Her first husband's death was entirely her fault, yet she still manages to blame Tu Lan, who is completely unrelated to the matter.
Moreover, after driving away the underage Tu Lan, she didn't care at all about how her life would continue. This is not something an aunt should do.
Although Ye Lishan called Tu Lan a beggar, she knew very well that things were not as she claimed, that Tu Lan was staying at their house.
The Tu family was originally very poor. It was only through Tu Lan's father working away from home that they were able to support his younger brother's education and eventually Tu Hong became a college student.
However, Tu Lan's parents later died in a construction accident, and the compensation money went entirely to Tu Lan's grandparents. The elderly couple originally intended to use the money to raise Tu Lan and pay for her future schooling, but both of them were old and their health couldn't withstand it, and they passed away one after the other before Tu Lan came of age.
Before his death, Tu Lan's grandfather specifically called Tu Hong back, intending to entrust Tu Lan to his care. He also gave Tu Hong the remaining compensation money, asking him to raise Tu Lan until she reached adulthood before giving the money to her.
The old man's intentions were probably good. After all, Tu Hong is developing in a big city, and if he could help Tu Lan, his granddaughter would have better opportunities for education and work than she would have in her hometown.
What Tu Hong himself was thinking is unknown now. In any case, he passed away before Tu Lan came of age, and the money ended up in Ye Lishan's pocket.
Therefore, Ye Lishan not only embezzled the compensation money from Tu Lan's parents, but also kicked Tu Lan out to fend for herself.
The An family: Their fists are even harder now...
However, Tu Mumu continued her story. She not only told the story of the jade pendant's origin, but also revealed how Yu Rushuo had planned a scam to get her to approach An Yun and swindle money after discovering the jade pendant.
She even mentioned that Du Tao had approached her and threatened her to use studying abroad as an excuse to swindle money from An Yun.
No one knew why she suddenly changed her personality. Only Tu Mumu herself knew that today she had come to a realization, a fact that she should have realized long ago but had always deliberately avoided because she didn't want to admit it.
That means Ye Lishan doesn't love her at all.
This biological mother of hers didn't love her at all.
Some people say that there are no parents in the world who don't love their children, so Tu Mumu, like most people, would rather believe such an absolute view than face reality.
In fact, she should have recognized this reality long ago, when she realized that her mother always treated her and her brother differently, when she was brainwashed time and time again to help her brother no matter what and put him first, and when her mother chose not to call the police when she was almost kidnapped by her stepfather.
However, the reality was too cruel, so she didn't have the courage to face and escape this toxic parent-child relationship. Instead, she fell into another toxic romantic relationship.
Or rather, it was a relationship she mistook for love.
Because she mistakenly believed that Yu Rushuo was the one who had saved her, she fell in love with him one-sidedly and obeyed his every word. She even disregarded morality and law and defrauded An Yun of money and affection.
Furthermore, she believed she was helping Yu Rushuo and felt she could also redeem him.
It's so ridiculous.
"Most of the money was used by Yu Rushuo to pay off his gambling debts. I don't know how much he owes. I naively thought that as long as I could trick him into giving me enough money to pay off his gambling debts, he would quit gambling and we could be together properly."
As you all saw, he cheated again and again, swindling more and more money, but his gambling stakes kept rising.
[It's impossible to fill the hole, it's impossible to fill the hole. Yu Rushuo's gambling hole is too big. Anyone who believes that a gambling addict can turn back is a complete fool!]
He never intended to pay off his debts and stop after receiving the money; he only wanted to recoup all his previous losses with even bigger ones!
“As for Du Tao,” Tu Mumu looked at Ye Lishan with a hint of sarcasm, “what kind of accomplice is he? He was the one who threatened me to help him swindle money. If we’re really going to talk about it, I’m the accomplice, okay?”
"You still think your precious son can get away unscathed? Keep dreaming!"
"You all want to use me, don't you? You want to use me as a pawn, don't you?" Tu Mumu's eyes gleamed with a hint of glee. "I know I can't escape, but none of you will get away with this!"
