Chapter 78: Are You Really My Biological Mother?
The live stream room was continuously filled with dog barks, yet the online viewership didn’t decrease. Instead, it broke through four digits, reaching over ten thousand.
The audience who had just joined found it baffling.
【What? Over ten thousand people are watching dogs bark?】
【Netizens’ tastes are truly peculiar nowadays… What’s so interesting about this???】
【If I had known live streaming was this easy, I would have started one too!】
【Streamer, what’s the situation now?】
Jiang Yuan gazed at the haitang flowers, her slender brows tightly furrowed. Her voice was clear, cold, and sharp, “Have you lost a gold bracelet?”
Haitang Hua said in surprise, “Streamer, how did you know?”
Jiang Yuan’s gaze swept over her indifferently, “I also know that you believe your daughter Xing Xing stole the gold bracelet to sell it, and you were so angry that she ran away from home.”
Haitang Hua opened her mouth but said not a word.
However, the audience in the live stream room was actively posting bullet comments.
【Got so angry about a gold bracelet that her daughter ran away from home? So does this mean Haitang Hua wronged her daughter?】
【Looking at the streamer’s reaction, was Xing Xing wronged by Haitang Hua???】
【Oh my god, if my mom treated me like that, I would break down!!!】
Seeing the netizens’ bullet comments, Haitang Hua hurriedly explained, “No, the reason I thought Xing Xing took the gold bracelet to sell was because she had just gotten a new phone the day before yesterday.”
She furrowed her brows, “We are a single-parent family, and her father doesn’t pay child support. I give Xing Xing fifteen hundred yuan every month, which is barely enough for her food and living expenses. How could she possibly have money to buy a new phone?”
【So it’s a single-parent family… Oh my god, that’s so hurtful, I feel like crying!】
【I’m also from a single-parent family. If my mom treated me like that, although I would still be alive, my love for her would die.】
【Regardless of whether Xing Xing took it or not, you shouldn’t have gotten so angry that she ran away from home.】
Seeing these words, Haitang Hua’s heart trembled violently, and a strong sense of unease washed over her, “I… I was just anxious at the time.”
Jiang Yuan asked indifferently, “Between the gold bracelet and Xing Xing, which is more important to you?”
“Of course Xing Xing is more important!” Haitang Hua answered without hesitation.
Jiang Yuan looked at her through the screen and frowned, “Since Xing Xing is more important, why did you so definitively conclude that Xing Xing bought the new phone with the stolen gold bracelet without any evidence?”
Haitang Hua was left speechless.
Her eye sockets were slightly red, and suddenly she realized she might have been wrong.
Jiang Yuan then revealed another piece of information, “Your gold bracelet wasn’t stolen by Xing Xing; it was your nephew, A Ming.”
“A Ming?” Haitang Hua’s face was full of surprise, then she immediately denied it, “Impossible, A Ming wouldn’t do something like that.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.
The audience in the live stream room was also speechless.
【I haven’t cursed in a long time! But I really can’t help it today, you’re genuinely crazy!】
【I’m impressed! You don’t believe your own daughter but have absolute faith in your nephew. Xing Xing is so unlucky to have a mother like you!】
【This is truly outrageous, like an outrageous mother giving birth to an outrageous child, outrageously far-fetched. Xing Xing, leave, and never come back!】
Jiang Yuan glanced at the public chat and felt that everyone’s scolding was quite justified.
Seeing that the bullet comments were all condemning her, Haitang Hua hastily explained, “It’s not like that. A Ming is already working; he has an income, so how could he steal my gold bracelet?”
Jiang Yuan’s face turned cold, and she asked sarcastically, “You think A Ming couldn’t have done it, but Xing Xing could have?”
Haitang Hua eagerly retorted, “Xing Xing has no income, and it’s because she got a new phone that I thought that. As a university student, where would she get the money for a new phone?”
【Haha, do you think university students can only get new phones by stealing?】
【This is the worst slander against university students. We might be freeloaders, but we are definitely not thieves!】
【I’m so angry!】
Jiang Yuan also felt extremely dissatisfied with Haitang Hua’s actions.
She coldly asked, “Haitang Hua, do you still believe until now that Xing Xing stole the gold bracelet to buy a new phone?”
“It’s not that I think so, it’s just that I can’t figure out why Xing Xing would have money for a new phone,” Haitang Hua replied ambiguously.
Pipi roared, “You’re a bad mother! You made Xing Xing so sad!”
【The money for the new phone was earned from my part-time job. I saved for a long time to gather enough money. In my heart, I would only be the one to buy my mother a gold bracelet. But I never imagined that in my mother’s heart, I would be the one who stole the gold bracelet.】
【Ah! Is this Xing Xing?】
【Xing Xing! Hugs!】
【Ahhh, these words are breaking my heart! Haitang Hua, how could you bear to treat your own daughter like this?】
Seeing Xing Xing’s bullet comment, Haitang Hua was suddenly struck by a wave of unprecedented panic and unease.
She eagerly asked, “Are you Xing Xing?”
【I am Xing Xing.】
“Xing Xing, I didn’t mean to…” Haitang Hua’s cheeks burned as she explained, “Can you forgive your mother?”
【I won’t blame you.】
Haitang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.
【I only blame myself, why did I have to appear in this world.】
【Wuwu Xing Xing… I feel so heartbroken for you!】
【Xing Xing, if there’s a chance, I want to meet you!】
【Oh my god, how desperate must one be to say such things?】
Haitang Hua frowned, dissatisfied, “Xing Xing, how can you say such things? You’re hurting your mother’s heart!”
Jiang Yuan let out a light laugh and suddenly asked, “Haitang Hua, have you contacted Xing Xing during the time she was away from home?”
Haitang Hua fell silent.
Jiang Yuan asked again, “During the two months Xing Xing was away from home, did you transfer her living expenses?”
Haitang Hua remained silent.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered transferring living expenses to Xing Xing, but the thought of Xing Xing stealing the gold bracelet to buy a new phone made her angry.
So, on the day she was supposed to transfer living expenses, she deliberately did not send Xing Xing any money.
On one hand, she was venting her dissatisfaction, and on the other, she wanted to use this method to force Xing Xing to come home.
At such a young age, she dared to steal a gold bracelet to buy a phone, and she dared to speak to her like that!
The bullet comments were all criticizing her actions.
【Oh my god! Not giving her living expenses, do you want to starve Xing Xing to death?】
【Are you even her biological mother?】
【I suspect you’re transferring your resentment for your ex-husband onto Xing Xing!】
Haitang Hua frowned tightly, dissatisfied, “You don’t understand anything, so why are you saying these things? Xing Xing, tell the netizens yourself, how good am I to you normally?”
Jiang Yuan couldn’t listen anymore and sneered, “If you had Xing Xing in your heart at all, you wouldn’t treat her this way.”
“Streamer, you can’t say that about me!” Haitang Hua choked up and defended herself, “If I didn’t have Xing Xing in my heart, I wouldn’t have fought for her custody in the first place!”
Jiang Yuan asked softly, “Then tell me, why didn’t you believe Xing Xing when she said she didn’t steal the gold bracelet?”
