According to Wang Meiliās nature, if she hadnāt done this thing, and now theyāre falsely accusing her, sheād definitely make a big fuss, if not crying, making a scene, or threatening to hang herself, at least sitting on the ground wailing in despair.
But the result is such a kind-hearted explanation.
To say thereās no conspiracy here, Gu Lingling simply doesnāt believe it.
"No, not only do you know that hawthorns canāt be eaten by pregnant women, but you deliberately made them into hawthorn cake," Gu Lingling said calmly. "As for your motive? I will definitely find out."
Gu Lingling looked at Wang Meili, "Thatās how my mom died back then."
"I was too young then, and had no evidence, so I couldnāt do anything to you," she said with a cold laugh. "But you shouldnāt have, never should have, thought about such a thing again."
"The same trick you used on my mom without getting caught, and now youāre using it on my sister-in-law."
"Wang Meili, how can your heart be so dark?" Gu Lingling continued, "Thatās your daughter-in-law, and sheās carrying your grandson."
"I donāt know what youāre talking about, I know nothing," Wang Meili glanced at him and said. "Haohuan, you canāt listen to her provocations, she just canāt stand us getting along well."
"No, sheās not provoking," Gu Haojun said, head lowered, "That year, when Wang helped deliver my second aunt, she said something at our doorstep and I heard it."
"Mom, second aunt ate the desserts you made and then went into labor early because there was something in those desserts that induces labor, it was the hawthorn, wasnāt it?"
When Gu Haojun looked up again, his eyes were already red.
"But why?" Gu Haojun shook his head, "Am I even your biological son? Youāre digging into my heart."
"Gu Haojun, you just believe Gu Linglingās words, not mine, right?" Wang Meili cried out. "Iāve said, I didnāt, I didnāt."
"Why are you willing to believe an outsider instead of your mom?" Wang Meili pushed Gu Haojun, "Am I even your mom?"
Crying while pounding Gu Haojunās chest with her empty fists, "Tell me, do you consider me your mom? Youāve been back for so long, but all you see is your wife, no matter what I say, Iām wrong."
"You want me to take care of your children, I take care of your children then you say I scold them."
"I dislike how you spend money so freely, asked you to hand over your salary for me to manage, but you fear I might lose it."
"So I am that evil stepmother, never treating you or your wife well, right?"
"Now you believe her when she says Iām harming others."
"I have to ask you, am I really your mom? Do you still consider me your real mom?"
She managed to make herself the victim first.
Gu Lingling couldnāt help but admire Wang Meiliās reaction speed; itās really not average fast.
Look at that, Gu Haojunās face turned from green to white.
He remained speechless.
"Just because big brother didnāt hand over his salary to you but to sister-in-law, so you held a grudge and fostered such vile thoughts?" Gu Lingling sneered.
"Donāt rush to deny it, rest assured, as long as a human does it, surely a flaw will show."
Even the most meticulous crime leaves room for error.
The reason Wang Meili acts so brazenly is just because they lack evidence.
But what if thereās evidence?
