Chapter 898: Don’t Call Me Mom, Disgusting

Editor: Henyee Translations

However, after Tong Jiayin finished speaking, she noticed that Tong Rao’s gaze was icy and stern, a stark contrast to her usual demeanor.

Her smile faltered, and she felt a wave of panic and fear. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Tong Jiayin, you’ve disappointed me.”

Tong Rao placed a bottle of perfume in front of her.

When Tong Jiayin heard her full name spoken with such coldness and saw the familiar perfume, she felt a rush of dizziness. Her worst fears had come to pass.

The psychological pressure she’d been under was immense, and now that the matter was exposed, she was overwhelmed with fear and tears. “Mom, I’m sorry. I really didn’t want to harm you.”

“It was Older Brother. He insisted that I give you the perfume.”

Tong Sinian was involved in this!

Tong Rao felt a sharp pang in her heart, as though she had been stabbed. The realization that her own children might want her to lose her sanity was deeply painful.

Yet, as the Family Head of the Tong Family, Tong Rao’s composure remained intact. Although surprised, she did not let it show on her face. Her expression remained dark, as if she had long known of this betrayal and had come prepared to confront it.

Hearing Tong Rao’s sneer and meeting her cold gaze, Tong Jiayin’s heart sank.

Her mother knew everything.

With tears streaming down her face, she pleaded, “Mom, it was all orchestrated by Dad and Luo Fangfei. I didn’t even know about my connection to her in the past. I’ve always treated you as my real mother!”

“I made one mistake that let you down, but I wasn’t involved in anything else.”

Tong Rao felt as if an arrow had pierced her heart. The pain was excruciating.

Not only was her son, Tong Sinian, implicated, but even her husband, Zuo Yuanyi, was involved?

Zuo Yuanyi had actually allied with that woman, Luo Fangfei?

And what was Tong Jiayin suggesting? Wasn’t she her biological daughter?

How could this be…?

She had witnessed Tong Sinian’s birth with her own eyes. How could there be any doubt?

Suddenly, Tong Rao recalled something. The childbirth had indeed been under her supervision and occurred in her private hospital. There should be no issues with that part of the process.

The issue must lie in the IVF process…

Tong Rao felt as if she had never experienced such a series of devastating blows. She was in a daze, overwhelmed by the revelations.

Seeing Tong Jiayin crying in front of her, Tong Rao’s frustration boiled over. In a sudden burst of anger, she reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

Tong Jiayin, shocked and bewildered, looked at her mother in disbelief. “Mom…”

“Don’t call me ‘Mom.’ It’s revolting.”

The thought that the fertilized egg might have been swapped during the IVF process filled Tong Rao with disgust and rage. She was on the verge of strangling the person before her.

Sensing the palpable killing intent in Tong Rao’s eyes, Tong Jiayin felt a cold chill run through her.

Her fears had been justified. Her mother saw her and her brother as nothing more than instruments of her humiliation and distress.

Tong Rao, still gripping her phone, made a call with icy resolve. “Bring Zuo Yuanyi back to the manor. Go to the Luo family and demand Luo Fangfei. I want an explanation from Luo Wen.”

Tong Jiayin stood frozen, realizing that Tong Rao had not been silent because she already knew everything, but rather to pressure her into confession.
