The more vicious the public treated her, the more they would praise Shen Qianshu. They were just like two extreme ends. No matter what Shen Lin did, she could not be compared to Shen Qianshu, and this fact by itself had made her feel even more disheartened. Eventually, Shen Lin even developed hatred when she saw Fang Xia.
“Xiaolin, you… don’t look at Mom this way.” Fang Xia was in extreme agony. It was already the lightest punishment and did not constitute a crime. There would not be any sentence, and Qianshu would also not litigate. This was considered a very good piece of news to them, and Fang Xia was already very satisfied.
“Mom? Haha, whose mom are you? You must be Shen Qianshu’s mom.”
“Xiaolin!” Fang Xia roared angrily. “How can you hurt me like that? Back then when you took her design drawings, I had told you that there was no concealing the truth. Eventually, the things that you did would be exposed. It was you who did not listen to my advice.”
It was also Fang Xia’s fault. Back then, Fang Xia had tried to stop her, but Fang Xia still gave up in the end. She obviously knew that it was wrong, yet she still indulged in Shen Lin. Thereafter, Shen Lin became famous, and she became arrogant. This matter had completely become a secret. Moreover, Shen Qianshu had also kept her promise and remained quiet. She did not have the ability to contend with them all along, and they became numb. Gradually, they treated it as Shen Lin’s brilliance and talent. Fang Xia even ejected the thought that the design drawings were from Qianshu.
They had deceived themselves for a long time and believed that it was all real.
Her indulgence was also a mistake.
“The person that you have doted the most is always Shen Qianshu, not me. Don’t think that I do not know you would have gone to look for her long ago if not for dad. You say that you have chosen me and gave up on Shen Qianshu. It is all fake. If you really loved me, why didn’t you let her help me? Why didn’t you let her save the Shen family?” Shen Lin was practically shouting hysterically. “Back then, why did you carry the wrong the child? You couldn’t even recognize your own daughter. You don’t deserve to be a mother. Since you had recognized the wrong person, why didn’t you continue with the mistake? Why did you bring me back?”
It was as if Fang Xia was struck by lightning. The gaze of her precious daughter, which was filled with so much hatred, made her feel numb. She fell into the abyss. She did not know that Shen Lin had actually hated her so much. Perhaps, she always had all these grievances in her heart, and now, it was completely ignited.
Shen Lin hated her. She hated her for bringing back the wrong child back then.
After she delivered back then, she had gone to the labor ward. As she was too anxious to see her own daughter, she had accidentally caused the tags to drop in the labor ward. Hence, the two children were exchanged. When Shen Qianshu was a child, she was fair and cute. In every mother’s heart, they would feel that their child was surely the most beautiful one out of all. The tag was coincidentally placed at Shen Qianshu’s side, and she hung it up. She did not expect that she had hung incorrectly, resulting in both children being in the wrong position for life.
“If I had never returned back to the Shen family, I would not have known the great differences in social standing. Everyone was rolling in the dust. No one was of higher-class than the other. Who knows? If I had relied on my own hard work, I might have made a comfortable and carefree life for myself. Why did you bring me back to the Shen family? You brought me back, but you did not love me. You still loved the counterfeit goods. Grandma was also extremely biased. Did you know how much pain I was in? If I had not fought with Shen Qianshu wholeheartedly, how would I have ended up in this state? Back then, when I was in the orphanage, although I was bullied, someone had sponsored my studies. In every aspect, someone would come forward to help me. I originally could have a different life. Now, I have lost my standing and reputation. Everything is ruined. Why did you carry Shen Qianshu by mistake? You could have carried another child by mistake, but why did it have to be Shen Qianshu!”
