【I told you Mu Fei was just putting on a show!】
【One moment saying Little Yu loves pork rib soup, the next saying Little Yu is picky and won’t eat pork ribs—these statements are way too contradictory!】
【To be fair, Mu Fei has always been hyping up her loving mother persona, but from her behavior, I really don’t see much affection for her daughter…】
Mu Fei’s fans, however, were still stubbornly defending her.
【Pork rib soup and pork ribs aren’t the same thing!】
【Yeah, I only drink the soup when I have pork rib soup, I don’t eat a single piece of the ribs】
【Even if we take a step back, isn’t Yun Xiaoyu completely blameless?】
…
The live stream room was in chaos.
In the VIP lounge, the standoff continued.
Seeing his wife unable to utter a word for a long time, Yún Fēng had no choice but to step in and save the situation for her.
“Honey, look at you. I know you work hard, but how could you even forget Little Yu’s preferences?” Yún Fēng sounded like he was scolding her, but in reality, he was covering for her. “Little Yu has always been taken care of by Aunt Chen. How could she let Little Yu become malnourished? I must hold her accountable!”
Mu Fei also put on an angry expression: “She really has a wicked heart! She’s completely betrayed our trust!”
The couple’s well-rehearsed performance looked utterly ridiculous in Ming Zhi’s eyes.
Aunt Chen was just a convenient scapegoat—every single incident could be pinned on her.
The audience was skeptical.
There was no helping it—Mu Fei’s image as a virtuous wife and loving mother was too deeply ingrained. It was hard for people to connect her with the image of a cruel adoptive mother in such a short time.
“It was the maid who didn’t take good care of Little Yu. We’ve already fired her!” Yún Fēng said with an ingratiating smile. “Such family matters shouldn’t trouble the police officers, right…”
The lead officer declared righteously, “This is something we must handle!”
Cold sweat dripped from Yún Fēng’s forehead.
Mu Fei couldn’t help but say, “This is just a minor issue. Making a big deal out of it would be a waste of social resources.”
“Ma’am, do you consider child abuse a minor issue?” The doctor waved the medical report in his hand. “We also discovered multiple old and new bruises on Yun Xiaoyu’s body!”
Boom—
Something exploded in Mu Fei’s mind.
Had her “disciplinary methods” been discovered?
In the live stream room, no matter how hard Mu Fei’s fans tried, it was useless. The furious questions from netizens flooded the screen—
【How did Mu Fei take care of her child?!】
【Little Yu is such an adorable child—who in the world would lay a hand on her?!】
【As a mother, I can’t bear to see this, but I know if I don’t speak up, no one will speak up for my child if something similar happens in the future. Please, Mu Fei and Yún Fēng, address the abuse allegations directly!】
【Today, I’ll be one of the snowflakes in this online storm—I’ll bury you scumbags in an avalanche!】
【+1】
【Count me in!】
“Husband…” Mu Fei instinctively grabbed Yún Fēng’s hand, but he coldly shook her off.
“Mu Fei, what’s going on? You’re Little Yu’s mother. How could you not have noticed she was being abused by the maid for so long?!” Yún Fēng loudly questioned her.
Mu Fei froze for a few seconds before realizing that Yún Fēng was deliberately playing the good cop.
She said tearfully, “Husband, I never expected something like this to happen…” Tears welled up in her eyes as she covered her mouth, crying pitifully. “Doctor, where is Little Yu? Where is my poor daughter…”
“Until the two guardians are cleared of suspicion, we cannot hand the child over to you for now,” the doctor said with a serious expression.
Mù Fěi was seething inside—what kind of lousy clinic and nosy doctor was this?!
It was just a routine check-up; couldn’t they have just gone through the motions? Did they really need to examine Yun Xiaoyu, that wretched girl, so thoroughly?!
“Please cooperate with our work and come with us to the police station to give a statement.”
Mù Fěi sobbed and refused to leave, while Yún Fēng was sweating profusely but couldn’t think of a good plan at the moment.
They couldn’t go to the police station—if they mishandled this, their reputation would be ruined!
At this critical moment, Ming Zhi suddenly spoke up: “Officer, that Nanny Chen is also suspicious. I had a brief interaction with her, and her attitude toward Yun Xiaoyu was very unfriendly.”
“Thank you, we will investigate her as well.”
Mù Fěi and Yún Fēng’s eyes lit up.
Ming Zhi’s words reminded them.
They just needed to shift all the blame onto Nanny Chen!
Nanny Chen had accepted a luxury bracelet, so she definitely wouldn’t dare to say anything reckless!
At worst, when they saw Nanny Chen later, they could just throw her a few more small favors!
Thus, the two reluctantly but obediently prepared to follow the police and leave.
Just then, Director Chu inexplicably cued the next step: “Alright, let’s connect with the crew over at Nanny Chen’s place—”
Mù Fěi: …!!
Yún Fēng: …!!
The two turned their heads, looking at Director Chu in disbelief.
“What are you doing—are you insane?!” Mù Fěi nearly lost her composure and screamed.
Yún Fēng rushed over, trying to stop Director Chu from making the call.
Director Chu deftly dodged him, shouting as he did so: “Mr. Yún, don’t worry! Our production team isn’t doing this for attention or ratings—we’re doing it to clear your names and uphold justice!”
Yún Fēng was nearly infuriated to the point of vomiting blood by his sanctimonious words. Did he need their production team meddling in his affairs?
The audience was also stunned by Director Chu’s unexpected move, flooding the live stream room with comments—
[666!]
Yún Fēng’s attempts to stop him were futile, as the production team swiftly switched the live stream feed to Nanny Chen’s location.
Yún Fēng tried to struggle, but the police restrained him.
Director Chu deliberately brought out a tablet and played the footage right in front of Yún Fēng and Mù Fěi.
Adding insult to injury—this was exactly that.
The screen switched to Nanny Chen’s home.
A modest two-bedroom apartment housed three generations—seven people in total—making it crowded and messy.
Nanny Chen held a baby boy with a deformed head in her arms, ordering two little girls around, both around three to five years old, to do chores.
“You two, go wash your brother’s diapers and make him some formula!”
“Wretched girls, not that can! Use the newly bought one!”
The camera zoomed in on the formula cans. Next to several affordable brands, there was an opened can of toxic formula.
—Exactly the same brand as the one Little Yu had been drinking!
The audience began to suspect—could it be… that Nanny Chen had stolen the toxic formula originally meant for Little Yu and brought it home for her grandson to drink?
Looking at her grandson’s deformed head, it truly was… karma.
“What do you want to interview me about?” Nanny Chen’s eyes darted around nervously. “Don’t forget the payment we agreed on!”
The crew member, having just finished a phone call, relayed: “Nanny Chen, the police will be coming soon to take you in for questioning.”
Nanny Chen panicked: “What? On what grounds? It’s just a few cans of formula…”
Thinking about the value of those cans of formula, Nanny Chen steadied herself.
She had engaged in petty theft before, but if the amount didn’t reach a certain threshold, it couldn’t be counted as theft.
However, the next words from the staff threw Chen Ma into complete panic—
“Mr. and Mrs. Yun have accused you of abusing their daughter, Yun Xiaoyu! If the charge is proven, Chen Ma, you could be sent to prison…”
