“Officers, just look at him! He dares to treat me this way right in front of you. Tell me—does he look like my real parent to you?”
“They’re always so cruel to me, treating me like a servant. If I don’t do something perfectly, they beat me mercilessly.”
“They even make me sleep in a dark, cramped little room. Tell me, what kind of biological parents treat their child like that?”
“They secretly signed me up for the countryside program without asking me—but I tolerated that.”
“But now they even demand that I give up my job slot and use dirty tricks to try to get rid of me!”
“Officers, if you don’t believe me, I can provide proof.”
Su Muxue rolled up her sleeve, revealing the horrific wounds on her arm. Everyone present froze in shock.
“Oh my God.”
Liu Chuntao suddenly screamed, “Su girl, what happened to you? Who did this to you?!”
“Su Haijun, is this really what you did? Are you really a father? This is inhuman—you’re hurting your own daughter!”
“Which parents would treat their child like this? Even if they scold or punish them, they would never be so brutal.”
“Look at her arm, such a deep wound, bruises all over her body—they were trying to kill her!”
Su Muxue knew this was her moment to perform.
“Aunt Liu, please help me! Look, they’ve nearly beaten me to death! Every day they make me do the hardest chores, and if I don’t do them perfectly, they beat me.”
“They only let me eat the leftover rice water. I’m starving and weak, and they still won’t stop—they wish they could kill me immediately.”
“They call me a little brat, a money-losing burden, day after day, eating nothing but plain rice.”
“Aunt Liu, do you think I’m really their daughter? If I were, why would they treat me like this?”
“Wah… wah…”
“Aunt Liu, my life is so bitter! I don’t want to live anymore! I might as well die and end it all, so I’m no longer in their way.”
“Rather than let them torture me and beat me, I’d rather just die. I’m so tired, Aunt Liu—my hands and feet hurt so much.”
Su Muxue showed the bruises and wounds on her arms and legs—purple, black, and swelling. The sight was shocking.
The people who had previously judged her instantly felt pity.
“Wow, they really went all out. Could it be that Su girl isn’t really their biological daughter? Otherwise, how could they beat her like this?”
Even the male officers couldn’t help feeling heartache seeing her injuries.
At this moment, a woman named Li Guixiang stepped forward.
“Su Haijun, He Fengzhen, you’re not even human—you’re worse than animals! How could you treat your own daughter like this?”
“Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Look at what you’ve done to poor Muxue!”
“Th-this…”
Su Haijun stammered, unable to say a word.
“This… what? Muxue is your own daughter, and this is how you act as a father?”
“Muxue, don’t be afraid. With us here, who dares bully you? This is lawless behavior!”
He Fengzhen, fuming with rage, put her hands on her hips like a shrew, shouting, “Su Muxue, you little brat! How could we not have killed you yet? You dare defame us in front of the police!”
“When have we ever refused you food? When have we made you drink rice water? If you didn’t eat, why didn’t you starve to death?”
“You, who don’t even know who your real parents are, have the audacity to challenge me here?”
“If it weren’t for your mother being my friend and giving me so much money, I wouldn’t have agreed to raise you.”
“That Zhao Shulan scoundrel didn’t even know whose child she was carrying. Shamelessly, she did something disgraceful, couldn’t even find the father, and still had the audacity to give birth.”
“It turned out you were twins. Because your twin sister was weak, your mother entrusted you to me and took your sickly sister away.”
“She said she’d come back for you once your sister recovered—but she never did. I suppose both your treacherous mother and sick sister are no longer alive.”
“I took you in because I felt sorry for you, but you have the nerve to turn things back on me. Blame my own mercy for not killing you when I had the chance.”
“You little brat! How did your mouth get so annoying? You never used to talk back or fight me. You used to obey my every command, terrified at the sight of me. Are you possessed today?”
“Since you’ve been in our home, you should be used for our household. You’re no noble daughter—you do what I tell you. That’s your duty.”
“I made you work for your own good, to teach you housework, so that when you marry, you won’t be despised by your husband’s family for not knowing anything.”
“Besides, making you work shows I hold you in regard. Don’t think you’re some young lady—you’re just a maid in this household.”
“My real children, two daughters and a son, are my precious treasures—they’re served in every way. A wild child like you can’t compare!”
“If you disobey or fail to do something, I must hit you. Who made you so fragile that two hits leave you like this? Can I be blamed?”
“If I don’t beat you to death now for defaming me, just wait until everyone leaves—I’ll make sure you regret it, or I’m not a He!”
Hidden from others, Su Muxue smiled knowingly at her stepmother, flashing a “You idiot, you’re finished” expression.
Only then did He Fengzhen realize that this brat had deliberately provoked her into revealing the truth in front of so many witnesses.
Everyone else gaped in shock. No wonder this Su girl didn’t look like them at all.
She wasn’t their biological child! Their earlier suspicions were right.
Looking at her delicate, flawless, fair skin, heavenly beauty—while this family was ugly, pockmarked, stocky, and dark-skinned—it was clear He Fengzhen’s arrogance had come to a crushing halt.
She had shamelessly spread feudal ideas and openly admitted to abusing someone else’s child, right in front of the police.
