What the netizens on the internet were saying, the shock of the rich and powerful, and the curses against Li Rong and others are for another time.
At the Security Bureau.
Under the persuasion of everyone, Ding Yun.
Ultimately decided to meet Kong Yanzi one more time.
As Ding Yun walked into the office specially cleared for them by the Security Bureau, Kong Yanzi immediately stood up with considerable emotion and said sincerely:
"Xiao Hua, Mom is sorry for you.
Can you forgive me? Now Mom only has you as family. Can you move back home?"
"Ms. Kong, please have a seat first."
Ding Yun did not respond to her words, but her attitude was cool and her tone was calm as she gestured to the sofa beside her. At the same time, she herself sat down on the sofa:
"I think we need to face reality.
Before this, you already knew very well that I was your biological daughter. Li Rong did not hide anything about this. And what was your attitude towards me back then?
I think you know that very clearly yourself.
After all, at your age, you shouldn't have reached the point of senile dementia or memory loss, to the extent of forgetting things from a few months ago.
If you had found something out back then and felt I wasn't your daughter, and now there's a change, I would find it natural and acceptable. But that's clearly not the case. I'm also getting older and don't want to pursue some vague notion of kinship or maternal love.
Let's just do as I said before.
Live in peace, without disturbing each other.
This can be considered my final kindness.
Additionally, given your wealth, I believe you don't have to worry about retirement. You don't need your impoverished daughter to bear the responsibility of your old age, do you?
Of course, if you insist.
I'm willing to give some pension every month, after all, it's legally required, isn't it? As a child's responsibility!"
Indeed, as Ding Yun said, if the other party had not known before and only found out later, then Ding Yun could understand and accept her reaction.
But given that she already knew, her inconsistent reaction was simply unacceptable to Ding Yun. This was most likely because she previously felt she still had a biological son and a useless daughter she had never raised, so it didn't matter whether she acknowledged her or not.
Only now, upon confirming that her son was not her biological child,
and that her biological son had died long ago, leaving only this daughter as her biological child, was she forced to endure it.
Even thinking further in a way that would disrupt the atmosphere.
Ding Yun worried that she might want to bring her back to compete for the Li family's fortune with Li Yuning, who had already had a kidney transplant. It would be best to seize all the family assets and leave Li Yuning with nothing, only then could she vent her anger from being concealed and deceived for so many years.
And if Ding Yun was merely speculating at this moment.
Kong Yanzi's next words.
Completely solidified her thoughts.
"I know it's hard for you to accept, but you can't completely blame me. This is entirely the conspiracy and trickery of Li Rong and Li Yuning. I was schemed against by them, which is why I didn't treat you well. You must believe me!
They told me that you had already agreed to donate a kidney, but then you went back on your word, and even extorted them, which made me feel that your character might not be very good, and I felt a little disgusted.
But this was not my intention."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. No matter how much you don't want to acknowledge me, it doesn't change the fact that I am your biological mother.
And are you willing to gain nothing from the Li family's wealth, despite being a member of the Li family? I am Li Rong's wife. What is Li Yuning? He is merely an illegitimate son who usurped a nest. What right does he have to inherit the Li family fortune? I am the matriarch of the Li family.
Nowadays, it's not uncommon for daughters to inherit family businesses. And since your husband has already passed away, as long as you have your son change his surname to Li, your son will naturally qualify to inherit the Li family fortune.
If you are willing to come back, I will do my best to help you, to seize as many company shares as possible. I will immediately apply to cancel the previous gifts to Li Yuning and Li Xingfan. Then all of these will be yours and your son's. After I pass away, everything I have will also be yours.
Even if you don't think about yourself.
You must think about your son!
This fortune is something your son couldn't achieve in eighteen lifetimes of hard work. And don't forget the Zhang family. Li Xingfan may not target you, but there's certainly a chance she will. If she lets the Zhang family target you and your son, no matter how much your son dreams of a career in entertainment, he's destined to make no waves.
You should think carefully about some decisions.
Consider them thoroughly before answering..."
Kong Yanzi didn't have very deep feelings for her children. What mattered more to her at this moment was that she had been fooled her entire life, raising her rival's son for forty years, etc. She felt like she had become a joke, and would be ridiculed even after death.
Her former girlfriends and friends, even those she didn't get along with, were probably laughing at her now.
They would definitely mention her at every gathering.
Mention her pathetic and ridiculous life.
Because of this, she had been too afraid to leave her home recently, fearing she might run into acquaintances and have them bring up the matter.
These circumstances combined made her firmly determined to take revenge. At the same time, she felt that there was no better way to get revenge than to make her rival's children bankrupt, to fall from the highest point to the lowest, and to be impoverished and destitute.
So, her current approach to Ding Yun was not so much about acknowledging her as her only blood relative and wanting her back, but rather about finding a partner who could legitimately inherit the Li family and join forces for revenge.
She thought that her biological daughter, who was so greedy for money, would be extremely tempted upon hearing these words.
But who was she facing now?
She was facing Ding Yun, who possessed the "Turn Stone into Gold" golden finger! What was money to her? Nothing. Ding Yun, who could turn stones into gold just by holding them, how could she be short of money?
She just lacked the channels for monetization.
Besides, Ding Yun knew without a doubt that if she agreed to this, it would be a huge hassle afterward. If Li Yuning hadn't entered the company yet, or hadn't been in charge of the company for over ten years, then Ding Yun might have been willing to give it a try. But now, it was truly too late.
Over the years, except for some old employees in the company, most of the remaining staff didn't even know about the existence of the late Mr. Li. Furthermore, Li Rong had already transferred his shares to his son. And this wasn't ancient times; illegitimate children also had inheritance rights. So, Ding Yun, after just a moment's thought, felt that this matter would be incredibly troublesome.
And difficult to achieve perfectly.
Therefore, she immediately and clearly refused.
