Chapter 62 exposed
Gao Jie couldn't suppress her curiosity and sneaked into her daughter's room when she got up in the morning. "Daughter, Mom has something to ask you."
"What's going on, Mom? Why are you being so mysterious?" Gao Tingting rubbed her sleepy eyes. She had just finished getting dressed and hadn't even had time to go downstairs to wash up yet.
Gao Jie, holding her daughter's arm, whispered, "You knew your brother went to the movies with a woman last night?"
"Yeah," Gao Tingting nodded, then realized what she meant, "Mom, how did you know? Did my brother tell you?"
"No, your aunt saw it and told me. Since you know that woman, tell Mom quickly, what's her name? Is she from out of town or local? What's her family situation like?"
Gao Jie blurted out a series of questions.
Gao Tingting grabbed a comb from the table and started combing her hair. She turned to her mother with a grin and said, "Mom, don't you think she and my brother are a good match? My brother is such a closet pervert. He clearly likes her, but he just won't admit it. Oh right, her name is Shen Qing, she's from Yuncheng, and her family..."
"What did you say?!"
When Gao Jie heard Shen Qing's name, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Gao Tingting was looking at herself in the mirror on the table, unaware of her mother's unusual expression, and continued, "It's not written in her family file. If you want to know if she's going to work today, I'll go ask her..."
"No need!" Gao Jie interrupted, her face deathly pale, her lips trembling. "What did you say her name was?"
Gao Tingting then realized something was wrong. She put down the comb, turned to her mother, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? I just said her name is Shen Qing. Do you know her?"
Gao Jie finally confirmed that she hadn't misheard. Shen Qing, a native of Yuncheng, everything made sense!
It's that illegitimate daughter!
Great! Excellent!
Her son was getting so close to that illegitimate daughter behind her back!
Gao Jie's face was deathly pale, her pupils trembled violently, and she swayed as if she were about to collapse.
"Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me, you look so pale!"
Gao Tingting anxiously supported her mother's back, trying to make her lie down. Gao Jie was completely dazed, as if her soul had been stolen. Seeing this, Gao Tingting kept calling out in her ear, "Mom? Mom?"
Gao Jie seemed to be jolted awake. Looking at her daughter's anxious face, she regained some composure, shook her head, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, Tingting. I just suddenly had a bit of tinnitus. Go wash up quickly, don't be late for work."
Gao Tingting asked anxiously, "Are you really alright?"
"It's nothing, just an old ailment." Gao Jie paused for a moment, then stood up and walked out of her daughter's room.
Although Gao Tingting and her brother work in the same factory, they usually leave home at the same time to avoid suspicion and go their separate ways.
Gao Tingting was naturally carefree. Her family spoiled her and didn't let her worry about anything. Seeing her mother sitting on the sofa with a normal expression, she didn't think much of it, greeted her, and left with her bag.
Seeing her daughter leave, Gao Jie then looked at her son who had just come downstairs.
"mom."
Cheng Zheng called out, raising his hand to slowly adjust the watch on his wrist.
Gao Jie walked over with a sullen face and slapped him across the face!
Snapped!
The crisp sound echoed in the living room.
Cheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, then pressed his tongue against the numb inside of his mouth. Looking at his mother's eyes, which were filled with suppressed anger, he had a guess in his mind. He didn't speak, but calmly met his mother's gaze.
Seeing her son's reaction, Gao Jie understood everything.
Her chest heaved violently as she stared intently at her son, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and disappointment, her voice tinged with sharp pain:
"Cheng Zheng! You're truly a wonderful son I've raised!"
"Your father is still hung up on that slut, and you've taken excellent care of her daughter. You two are truly admirable!"
Cheng Zheng's heart sank, and he pursed his lips in silence.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Say something! Explain yourself!"
Seeing her son remain silent, Gao Jie became even more distraught, her eyes red as she loudly accused him.
"You knew perfectly well that Shen Qing was your father's daughter with that slut! Not only did you not hide from that illegitimate daughter, nor did you stand up for me or this family, you were also good to her! You went shopping with her, bought her things! You went to the movies with her! You even developed feelings for her that you shouldn't have! Did you ever think about my feelings!"
Hidden thoughts were thus laid bare in the sunlight.
Cheng Zheng swallowed hard, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"sorry?!"
"Heh! Heh heh!"
She guessed right.
The son likes that illegitimate daughter!
Gao Jie staggered back two steps, her bloodshot eyes gradually turning mad. "Cheng Zheng! I carried you for ten months, raised you with so much care, and this is how you repay me?! You actually cheated on me with the mistress's daughter!"
"What terrible things have I done?!"
Gao Jie pounded her chest violently, looked up at the sky, and was in unbearable pain.
What I thought was a happy family turned out to be a complete illusion!
The husband had an affair with another woman twenty years ago, and years later, the son fell in love with that illegitimate daughter!
Both father and son were ruined by a mother and daughter!
Good heavens! Good heavens!
Gao Jie's legs went weak, and she staggered to a squatting position on the ground, bursting into tears.
Cheng Zheng stepped forward to help her up: "Mom, get up first. It's not what you think. Shen Qing and I are just normal colleagues."
Gao Jie forcefully shook off his hand, exclaiming, "Even colleagues won't do! If you really feel sorry for me, then get rid of that illegitimate daughter. Transfer her, kick her out—I don't care what method you use—make her leave Factory 306, leave Jinghua. Prove to me that you have no feelings for her, prove that I'm more important than that illegitimate daughter!"
Cheng Zheng swallowed hard, then said after a moment, "I understand how you feel right now, but Shen Qing speaks Soviet language and is the head chef appointed by the experts. We can't let her leave now..."
"I don't care!" Gao Jie interrupted coldly. "You can only acknowledge me as your mother when you've cleaned up your mess. Otherwise, I, Gao Jie, would rather not have a son like you who betrays us!"
After saying that, Gao Jie grabbed her bag from the sofa, strode out, and slammed the door shut.
Cheng Zheng stood there, rubbing his temples in frustration.
