However, it was strange why the amount on her daughter's Deposit Certificate was so large, even greater than the total of the other three family members' Deposit Certificates combined.
The Lobby Manager emphasized, "We operate strictly according to regulations here and will not randomly withdraw money for others. If you are still concerned and suspect that someone else has stolen your money, we can help you access the surveillance footage for review."
At that moment, Rao Jie was already stunned by the earlier statements. She didn’t hear anything after that. Wu Rong nodded at the Lobby Manager, requesting to view the surveillance footage.
The Lobby Manager led them to the monitoring room and retrieved the footage from that day. When Rao Jie saw her parents, Rao Gang and Huang Xiang, on the screen, her eyes finally turned red with unshed tears. They had indeed taken what rightfully belonged to her without even a word of explanation.
She wasn’t particularly surprised that Huang Xiang would do such a thing. But to see Rao Gang standing beside her mother made her heart sink completely. She had thought that although her father was more compliant with her mother, he would still stand up for her when it mattered—like when she ran away from home and he secretly gave her money.
But she never expected that Rao Gang would also…
The feeling of being betrayed by both parents left Rao Jie momentarily blank. Could their preference for sons reach such a level?
Rao Jie felt tears welling up uncontrollably; she grabbed Wu Rong's arm and shook it, wanting to leave this place. She felt suffocated.
Wu Rong had just finished recording that segment of video and seeing Rao Jie like this broke his heart. He cursed his future in-laws in his mind and quickly took Rao Jie away from there.
Back in the car, Rao Jie couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. Wu Rong hurriedly embraced her and said, "Don’t be sad, don’t cry. They are all bastards who don’t deserve to be parents; people like them aren’t worth your tears."
He refrained from saying anything harsher since they were still Rao Jie’s parents.
Through sobs, Rao Jie choked out her grievances: "I don’t want their money; I really don’t care about that. But why do they have to treat me this way? Why deceive me, hide things from me, and secretly take everything that belongs to me to give to Rao Jian? In their hearts, is it really only Rao Jian who is their child?"
If this situation had occurred now—if she had sent Rao Jian to prison and her parents were angry or wanted her to compensate him by taking her money—she could have somewhat understood their anger.
But in reality, just as their relationship was beginning to mend, they secretly took everything from her for Rao Jian. Looking back now, did their relationship really mend? Was it all just a performance for her benefit? Did they think that once she found out, she wouldn’t confront them too harshly? Because they knew she had a soft temperament; if they showed a little kindness and asked gently, she might actually agree.
But now... after everything has crumbled, discovering such a thing truly feels like salt in a wound.
Wu Rong held Rao Jie close, gently patting her back as he comforted her, "It's okay. They may not cherish you, but I do. You mean nothing to them, yet to me, you are a priceless treasure. So don't be sad for their sake; it breaks my heart to see you like this."
Rao Jie couldn't help but cling tightly to Wu Rong, as if he were her last lifeline. The grievances in her heart surged like a flood, and she just couldn't control them.
