"Fengqin, do you believe your mother? I had no choice but to do what I did back then. I really know I was wrong."

Lin Fengqin smiled slightly and said calmly, "I don't have a husband. He's been dead for over twenty years. By now, cockroaches have probably eaten most of his ashes."

"Isn't it inappropriate for you to just casually assign me a husband, mother-in-law?"

Old Mrs. Xu never expected that her attempts to manipulate Lin Fengqin Lin Fengqin and make empty promises would be met with Lin Fengqin's complete rejection.

Old Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "What will it take for you to save your husband? Have you wanted him dead all along?"

"Fine, I knew you, you bitch, had no good intentions from the start. Everyone, look! This bitch is trying to kill her husband! Everyone, be the judge! This old lady is truly miserable."

Unable to stand up, she simply sat on the ground and began to throw a tantrum.

She had assumed that these people from the wealthy family were all opportunists who would want to see a fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and that they would all be on her side to put pressure on Lin Fengqin, forcing Lin Fengqin to Guohua.

Thinking of this, a smug smile flashed across her face again.

The wealthy family members saw through Old Mrs. Xu's little schemes and expressions. This old hag was still unrepentant even at this point, still trying to use them as tools.

They may want to watch the excitement, that's true, but it doesn't mean they lack a sense of right and wrong.

They snorted coldly and said without hesitation, "Old Mrs. Xu, your ability to distort the truth truly leaves me speechless."

"Grandma, if I were your daughter-in-law, I would definitely show you what I'm capable of."

"Grandma, disrespecting your elders will be punished by heaven."

Old Mrs. Xu was shocked by their words, and her face turned ashen. She pointed a trembling finger at them, exclaiming, "You!"

She felt that talking wasn't enough; she wanted to tear their mouths apart.

She scrambled to her feet and was about to run forward when a sudden pain shot through her foot, and she fell heavily to the ground. She vaguely heard a cracking sound, as if something had broken.

Old Mrs. Xu let out a bloodcurdling scream, "Call an ambulance quickly! It hurts so much!"

Song Shiwei muttered to herself, "[Wow, now my son is in a vegetative state, and I'm truly paralyzed. How can the world be so kind to Old Mrs. Xu. Xu?!]"

Paralysis? What a blessing! Lin Fengqin narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly, "Mother-in-law, faking illness won't work on me anymore."

"I'm not faking it, I'm really in pain!" Old Mrs. Xu screamed sharply, "Xu Zixuan, come quick and save Grandma!"

"Call a doctor right now, save your dad!"

Xu Zixuan himself was still unable to process the huge changes that had occurred overnight. He had thought that this time, he was sure he could take over the management rights from Lin Fengqin.

But Wanwanmi never expected so many things to happen in one night. He was stunned. The company he had almost acquired was gone, and the money he had just earned was gone. He was going crazy.

He was lying in Liang Bing seeking comfort Old Mrs. Xu's shouting annoyed him so much that he snapped, "If you're sick, go see a doctor! Are you just going to die?"

"My dad deserved to be in this state from drug use, and you deserve it too. You're so old and your son isn't there to take care of you."

[Has Xu Zixuan gone mad? How can he say something like that?]

[But if I lost everything overnight, I'd go crazy too, hahaha.]

[I wonder how it would turn out if Xu Zixuan knew he was actually a fake young master.]

Song Shiwei was eating melon seeds and watching the drama unfold when Mother Jiang suddenly remembered something and quietly walked over to Lin Fengqin's side. "Fengqin, this child doesn't look like you at all, nor does he resemble Xu Guohua's cross-eyed eyes."

Lin Fengqin examined the child for a few moments and agreed, "I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned it. Could this child not even be Xu Guohua's? Hahahahahahahaha."

Old Mrs. Xu shook her head repeatedly. It was impossible. She had seen the child born with her own eyes. Those big eyes clearly indicated that the child was Guohua's.

"Impossible, I watched this child being born."

Mother Jiang glanced at Old Mrs. Xu, her face full of amusement, and said, "Did you get pregnant while they were together?"

With a chuckle, several people present burst out laughing; what he said was absolutely right.

In her heart Song Shiwei exclaimed, "[My mother-in-law is so powerful!]!"

[If they had just checked the birth certificate, they would have known there was something wrong with the child. No, the birth certificate is forged! Which hospital is so audacious? I suggest they investigate!]

[I'm such a genius! I spotted the key point right away! Sister Lin, you have to report this immediately. Forging a birth certificate should really be punishable by death.]

"I don't care whose child it is, it's not mine anyway," Lin Fengqin said calmly. "The engagement can't be arranged today, so I'll be leaving now. You all can have your family reunion later."

However, Song Shiwei was right; the hospital that forged the birth certificate was the one that deserved to die the most and had to be reported.

Perhaps then so many children wouldn't have been cruelly switched like hers, or even kidnapped and trafficked. Those who profit from human suffering deserve to die!!

She turned and pulled Chen Xinyi outside, saying, "Everyone, I'm sorry that today's engagement banquet was a laughing stock. I'll host a separate banquet for you all next time."

"It's alright, Mrs. Xu. She's so young, don't be too sad. Trading a son with char siu huo for a sweet goddaughter isn't a bad deal."

"Indeed, this family is nice; they really should get together."

The wealthy family members who had been sitting and watching the show all stood up, their eyes filled with pity as they looked at Lin Fengqin.
