My mother-in-law asked, "What is there to discuss between us?"
Out of courtesy, she still invited them into the living room, allowing them to sit down and talk.
Zhou Shiwan's biological mother spoke up, "You all know that our Zhou Shiwan is about to get married soon. Why don't we discuss his marriage now?"
"Her getting married has nothing to do with me," I replied.
However, my mother-in-law gently patted my shoulder and gave me a soft look before saying to them, "Please continue."
"But you also understand our family's situation. We only have an old house and can't provide a dowry. We can't prepare a new house or a car due to financial reasons, so we hope you can help with this money. After all, Zhou Shiwan has called you 'Mom and Dad' for over twenty years, and you have plenty of wealth. This amount shouldn't be much for you," she said with an expression of entitlement.
My mother-in-law continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"You don't need to worry about the specifics. If you could contribute four or five million or more, we will take care of the rest," she replied.
I was genuinely shocked that such shameless people existed in this world. Zhou Shiwan remained silent, clearly acquiescing to his parents' demands.
My father-in-law, who had worked hard in business for many years, immediately showed a cold smile. "Why should we pay for your daughter’s marriage? And you start with such an outrageous sum—what are you thinking?"
"Your group makes billions in profit every year; this amount is just a drop in the bucket for you," Zhou Shiwan's biological father said. "Besides, you've raised her for so many years; why not do her a favor? What's wrong with that?"
After a long silence, Zhou Shiwan finally spoke up: "Just this once; we won't bother you again in the future."
My father-in-law glanced at her and said, "You know we've raised you without asking for anything in return for all these years. We've been very generous. Please leave; we cannot continue to squander."
"We've invested a lot in Jiang Mingyue as well; she's so outstanding now because we've put in so much effort," he added.
I couldn't help but interrupt him. "What you call effort is making her work like a laborer and forcing her to earn her own tuition. Not only did you not support her through college, but you also started asking her for money. What exactly have you contributed? How can you have the face to say such things?"
Zhou Shiwan's biological mother stammered, "Why are you speaking so harshly? We're doing this for her own good—to train her and cultivate her independence."
I smiled and continued, "Oh really? Then why not let your own daughter train instead of coming here to ask for money? After twenty years of being spoiled, it's time she started learning some responsibility."
They were left speechless.
My Mother-in-law said, "You may not know this, but I have already reported this matter to the police for investigation."
They hurriedly stood up, panic-stricken, and exclaimed, "We just came to ask for some money; why would you report anything to the police?"
"If you insist on demanding money, we will naturally sue you for extortion. As for the reason I reported this, you should be well aware."
"We are unaware; we haven't done anything illegal."
She shook her head vigorously, but it only made her seem more guilty. "We don't want your money anyway."
Zhou Shiwan seemed intrigued. "Report to the police? For what reason?"
Zhou Shiwan's biological mother turned pale. "We just wanted some money. If you are so heartless, why do you have to slander us?"
At that moment, the police arrived.
Regarding the baby swap incident, I had already reported it for investigation long ago. Today, the Law Enforcement Agency finally confirmed that the baby switch was orchestrated by Zhou Shiwan's Biological Father, and that nurse from that hospital was a distant relative of his.
Under Zhou Shiwan's Biological Father's instructions, the nurse had swapped Zhou Shiwan with Jiang Mingyue. This act not only violated ethics but was also illegal. The involved nurse has been arrested by the police and confessed to all her crimes.
Zhou Shiwan's Biological Father never expected that by coming to demand child support, he would end up ensnaring himself. The law enforcement officers took them away, and finally, there was peace in the house.
Thinking back on what they had done to Jiang Mingyue over the years made me seethe with anger. During dinner, I kept serving Jiang Mingyue food. Her parents watched us with eyes full of affection.
I wasn't concerned about Lin Ziping's recent situation; after all, my precious time shouldn't be wasted on such people.
