Chapter 436: The Uncontested Woman, Wins in the End

d games." …The shepherd, let me tell you, I get a consultation text every now and then, often asking when you and Qiao Bao'er are getting divorced hahaha."Lu Qinan smiled and said, in their circle of..."I'm paranoid..."

Suddenly, Ye Wei's face contorted in rage.

She slammed her hand on the table, stood up, leaned forward, and roared at her, "Your mother is the truly mentally ill and obsessive one! Gu Ruqing is a selfish and despicable wretch."

"Everyone outside says that Gu Ruqing was the peerless beauty of that era, the queen of piano in the music world, with an extraordinary temperament... She, that bitch, has never been a good person. She's hyping up her persona, she's just all for show!"

Ye Wei looked at Qiao Bao'er's face, and hateful memories surged up, becoming more and more frantic. "Your mother slept with a stranger in a bar, got pregnant with you, that man left, she married Qiao Wenyu while carrying this wild child of hers, and after giving birth to you, she still wouldn't settle down, always hoping for that man to come back to her..."

"She clearly doesn't love Qiao Wenyu, she's just using him. This imposter of a wife, Gu Ruqing, what right does she have to push me down the stairs and cause my miscarriage That's the real child of the Qiao family!"

"Do you know how heartless your mother is, she not only attacked me... she gave you sleeping pills."

Ye Wei's voice sharpened, "When you were a baby, she gave you sleeping pills because she found you crying so annoyingly loud. She thought you were useless since the moment you were born, and that man never came back after..."

A slight smirk played on her lips, laced with a hint of mockery. "Jo Bao'er, no one has probably ever told you this, but this is your biological mother!"

Jo Bao'er was stunned.

Ye Wei's gaze at her was like that of a serpent eyeing its prey, waiting to watch her sink step by step and fall into shared pain and hatred.

"When Qiao's people found out, they kept a close eye on her for a while. But how could someone as vile as Gu Ruqing just give up so easily When you were a little older, when you were three years old, she started giving you sleeping pills again at intervals..."

His voice grew lower, faster and faster, until finally Ye Wei's excited agitation became impossible to contain.

“When you were a child, didn't you often have nightmares, saying that someone was by your bed at night It was your own mother, squatting at the head of your bed, watching you as she spoke to herself about that man.”

When Qiao Wenyu found out, he was hurt. Everyone said that the poor boy had married Miss Gu's daughter and had to look at this bastard every day. How could he possibly have a good face

“Joe Wenyu has been very strict with you since you were young. He always persuaded himself to treat you as his biological daughter, but your mother made him heartbroken. He can’t hate your mother, he always feels complicated emotions towards you. You have called him 'Dad' your whole life, but deep down inside, Joe Wenyu doesn’t want you to exist.”

Qiao Bao'er's body was stiff and tense.

"Jo Bao'er, you should hate your mother. It was Gu Ruqing who brought you into this world, and it was she who caused you to be calculated and resented by so many people from birth."

Ye Wei vented her rage, her desperate eyes and haggard gaze resembled that of a defeated person, yet she refused to give up and struggled on.

She said so much, Qiao Bao'er was still as composed as ever.

My dad is very kind to me.

As if all of Ye Wei's resentment and unwillingness had been suddenly extinguished.

A bitter taste of defeat hung on her lips, her smirk turning into a self-deprecating grimace.

"...I...why would I meet an opponent like you" She seemed to mutter to herself, her voice gradually calming down, but her eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Ye Wei's gaze turned towards the world outside, her pupils unfocused. She understood, she had spent the first half of her life striving so hard, only to realize that she had chosen the wrong path from the beginning.

Gu Ruqing walked away with a swagger, while the daughter of this enemy before her didn't seem to care about him at all.

What's the point of arguing.

Qiao Bao'er didn't argue at all, she was just putting on a one-woman show.

How ridiculous, how pathetic.

"Joe Bao'er, you are more fortunate than your mother."

When Ye Wei turned her gaze back to Qiao Bao'er, a newfound clarity, pride, shone in her eyes. Her low voice sounded as if she were merely talking about a stranger.

"You should thank your grandfather, General Gu. That old man saw through what his eldest daughter was like long ago. Your grandfather took you to the Gu family and personally raised you, teaching you to be excellent. He taught you not to fight, and in the end, you won."

This was the first time Qiao Bao'er had heard Ye Wei say something truly complimentary. Unlike those previous insincere compliments, she stared into Ye Wei's eyes. This woman seemed exhausted, like someone who had fought hard and now lay defeated, no longer resisting.

At the same time, Qiao Bao'er understood a truth. Since Ye Wei willingly chose to serve, she had also seen through it in her heart. What she truly hated was her former self.

Therefore, Ye Wei would not harm her again.

“The day before yesterday, I was on a business trip to Japan. In the hospital, I encountered a woman who suddenly attacked me,” Qiao Bao’er looked into her eyes and spoke slowly, “She was holding a needle that had been used by an infectious disease patient and stabbing it towards me. She moved too quickly, I couldn't see her face clearly, I just confirmed she was a woman, tall and thin…”

Ye Wei listened to her narration, from the initial surprised look in her eyes to a deep and scrutinizing gaze.

"You suspect I did it" Ye Wei guessed her intention.

"If I still suspected you, I wouldn't speak in such a calm tone."

Ye Wei looked at her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She had never imagined that one day she would be able to sit calmly with this "enemy" and talk business.

"Seems like there are quite a few people who hate you." Ye Wei couldn't help but sarcastically remark.

Perhaps it was Ye Wei's years of struggling and confused emotions that gave her a realization, leading to acceptance and release.

Ye Wei suddenly told her something, "Jun Zhimu had once interrogated me. He said that during your pregnancy, you had a stomach upset and were hospitalized once. That afternoon when you were in the hospital, a mysterious woman disguised as a nurse covered your mouth and nose with a pillow, trying to suffocate you, but you luckily escaped..."

Jo Bao'er's face was pale. She remembered the struggle on the edge of life and death, being covered mouth and nose, unable to breathe.

Yèwēi’s voice slowed, speaking each word deliberately, “Jūnzhīmù has interrogated me about several incidents related to you. At the time, I just made things up… Now I’m telling you, believe it or not, besides the incident during your high school trip where I hired someone to kidnap you, everything else wasn’t done by me.”

When she got to the last syllable, Ye Wei’s tone became noticeably sharp.

Qiao Baoer's eyes shifted from hesitant to wary, a flicker of fear crossing them... The suspicion and dread in her heart grew stronger with each passing moment.

She knew this time Ye Wei wasn't lying, so... who would go to such lengths to scheme against her, so terrifying.

Qiao Bao'er pondered for a moment, and then fell silent.

They are not the kind of women who are warm and talkative.

After Qiao Baier finished asking everything she wanted to know, she stood up and left directly. Ye Wei looked at her coldly and didn't say another word.

The prison visit is over.

Qiao Bao'er, following the regulations, lined up to retrieve her phone and handbag, as personal items such as phones were not allowed inside.

She retrieved her phone and stood at the exit, only then realizing she had several missed calls.

"Wait a minute, miss, you're missing something…" The prison's logistics staff suddenly called out to her, "This coin is yours…"long-handled lighter that Jun Zhimu had given her. It had a fierce fire, a pale blue flame, and soon illuminated the area around her. The white mist also dissipated somewhat because of the flames.She...
