"What? Did I abandon you? Mom, don't you feel ashamed when you say this?"
Mango looked at Mrs. Shen and suddenly felt that this woman had become so distant and strange. She couldn't help but think of Queena.
Could blood relations really change everything?
They could give everything without reservations to children that were related by blood. Once they knew that a child was not their own flesh and blood, their attitude would change quickly.
Could this be human nature?
Mango did not understand, but she could feel the deep pain and hurt.
Mrs. Shen couldn't look straight into Mango's eyes, so she didn't say anything.
There was a short moment of silence in the room, and it was so quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeat.
Mango let out a bitter laugh. In the end, she didn't say anything and left the ward.
They had already abandoned her the moment they found Gisella. What else could she expect?
Seeing that Mango had left, Mr. Shen and his wife released sighs of relief. Meanwhile, Gisella looked at Mango's back silently.
Mango had walked far away and suddenly remembered that they had not sold their house yet. She didn't know if they would have enough money to leave. No matter what, those two people had raised her for more than twenty years. This was her final farewell to them.
She took out a bank card from her pocket and returned to the ward. But before she entered the ward, she heard the voice of Mrs. Shen coming from inside.
"Isn't it a little too much for us to treat Mango like this? No matter what, she's a child we've raised. If we had been more kind, perhaps she would help Giselle for what we did for her in the past."
"If she wanted to help me, she wouldn't have waited for so long. Hah! Mom, don't be naive. She is an ungrateful b*tch! Think about it carefully. Did she ever care about you after she found her biological mother? Did she help you when you were poor? She didn't do anything but be a rich family's wife. What are you to her?"
Gisella said coldly.
"Mango also has her difficulties. She is not as well-off as you think she is in the Ye family."
Mr. Shen opened his mouth.
"Dad, what do you mean by that? Do you still think she's a good person? Then why did you even look for me? When I learnt violin, I'm sure that Mango did something behind me! Dillon told us to go back and wait for the news. You also told me that he wanted me to prepare for our classes, but what happened? Dillon immediately said that I didn't meet the criteria. At that time, only Mango met us in the building. If she didn't look for Dillon, then who did she look for? She pretended to be very helpful in front of others, but she had used dirty tricks to scheme me behind me. Hah! You all don't understand that b*tch yet? She doesn't want me to live a good life and doesn't want you to benefit from me. She wants all of you to stay close to her so that she can become your master! llrgh!"
Gisella's words stunned Mango.
Dillon was going to leave Gisella?
But what did that have to do with her?
She went there to say something to Kolton. How could this be her fault?
How could she be accused of something she had never done?
Mango was in no hurry to enter. Instead, she leaned against the wall and eavesdropped.
Upon hearing Gisella's words, Mr. Shen stopped talking.
Mrs. Shen was surprised and said, "What? Honey, is this true?"
Mango felt that it was funny.
Why didn't they ask her about it? She was the person involved in this incident, but she didn't even know what was going on. How they could come to a conclusion by themselves?
Mr. Shen pondered for a moment before saying, "Hmm... it should be true. Other than Mango and Nathaniel in Ocean City, who else has the ability to change Dillon's mind? So, I think what's she saying is true. As I said a long time ago, Mango has always looked down on Giselle. We all know this. How did this child become like this? After so many years of education, did we actually raise an ungrateful person?"
Mango was still smiling, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen cried.
"How could Mango be like this? She has everything, including the support of the Ye family and the Hans family. She can live happily even if she doesn't do anything in her life. What does Giselle have? If Queena had not changed our children back then, we would not have to endure these things now. To put it bluntly, it's all Queena's fault. It's the Xiao and the Hans family who owe the Shen family. It's fine that she's not grateful to us, but she even hit Giselle? No, I can't let this go! Urgh! I have to reason with her. Even if I have to leave Ocean City, I can't let it go."
Mrs. Shen was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, but Gisella stopped her.
"Why are you going to find her? Do you think she'll do something ungrateful when people is watching? You're only making her look good in front of others. They will think that she's not an ungrateful person. Hah... look, let's not talk about this anymore. I was taken away by Kolton, but she didn't think of trading herself with me. Can't you see her true colours yet? Now Dillon doesn't want me anymore, and Nathaniel wants us to leave Ocean City. What can we do? Father took out the only money in our family and arranged a path for me. However, no one in Ocean City cared about it. I think Nathaniel was doing this behind our back. If he hadn't, how would those people have dared to do this to Dad and me? Mom, stop dreaming! Mango isn't your daughter anymore. Give up!"
Gisella's words made Mango narrow her eyes.
