But to coax Jian Yi, so she wouldn't feel lonely, he said he liked to eat it.
Jian Yi also thought it made sense, "But Mom said I can't eat too much of this, it's bad for my teeth, bad for my eyes, and bad for my brain. Mom's afraid I'll become ugly and stupid."
Fu Chen was amused by her words and said, "You're so smart, how could you possibly become stupid?"
"Am I smart? I don't think I'm smart at all. I was the dumbest in the orphanage. I couldn't compete for food with others, and I was bullied and tricked every day. Those children were all smarter than me."
Fu Chen already knew that Jian Yi was just an adopted daughter in this family. Jian Yi didn't shy away from it at all, acting as if being adopted was no big deal.
"No, none of those children were smart. They were all wicked. Only you are smart and kind, which is why you met such wonderful parents," Fu Chen said with a smile.
"The second part is right, my parents are the best in the world. Fu Chen gege, you should rest early. I'm going back to sleep now, I won't disturb your rest." After saying that, Jian Yi left first.
Fu Chen opened his laptop, and many pictures appeared, all of his stepmother and his biological father. Scenes of their happy family of three.
Because he had gotten lost, his stepmother said she missed him so much that she brought her own child to the Fu family.
Although his father was still looking for him, he had also accepted the fact that he was lost, or even possibly dead. Moreover, that woman was pregnant, and it was said to be a boy.
Fu Chen sneered. This stepmother was truly patient. He hadn't realized she was a wicked person. For three years after marrying into the family, she had treated him extremely well, better than his own mother. This had earned her the approval of everyone in the Fu family. Three years later, after becoming pregnant, she chose to get rid of him. Successfully bringing her own son back to the Fu family, he would change his surname to Fu, and then have children with the Fu family. By then, no one would remember him.
Fu Chen's hands clenched so tightly they made cracking sounds. He would make that bitch pay the price!
The person who contacted Fu Chen was a servant from the Fu family. She had been brought by his mother from his maternal grandfather's home. Over the years, she had been loyal to him and would never betray him.
She also told him that his stepmother's tactics were formidable. Because his maternal grandfather and uncle didn't believe he had gotten lost accidentally and were convinced that woman had harmed him, the two families had already become enemies.
Fu Chen hated his own stupidity. He had been deceived by that woman back then, distancing himself from his loyal maternal grandfather and uncle's family, getting close to that bad woman, and even calling her "Mom!"
Only when something truly happens can one see who truly loves them and has their best interests at heart!
Fu Chen wished he could travel back three years and slap himself twice!
He had recognized a thief as his mother. Now, he even suspected his mother's death might have been suspicious. What evil deed wouldn't such a wicked woman do?
Fu Chen had his own plan. He would make that woman and her son pay the price! They wanted to kill him, replace him, and snatch everything that belonged to him. He would absolutely not let them succeed.
