\u201cRaising a daughter isn\u2019t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kathryn agreed.<\/p>\n

The cost of raising a child was immense.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you didn\u2019t raise me,\u201d she said calmly. \u201cYou raised Feng Ruo. I was raised by my adoptive parents. Before I returned to the Feng family, I secretly gave them some money as compensation for the years they spent taking care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were more ruthless, I wouldn\u2019t have given them anything. After all, if they hadn\u2019t done such terrible things to me, I wouldn\u2019t have been separated from my biological parents, abused for over a decade, or nearly sold off.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the time she became a teenager, her adoptive parents could no longer control her. But those ten years of suffering had already left deep scars.<\/p>\n

Kathryn remembered everything clearly but never exaggerated.<\/p>\n

Her adoptive parents had secretly asked her for money before, but she refused. She even warned them not to try again, and they didn\u2019t dare. They had also approached Feng Ruo, but Feng Ruo mostly ignored them. On rare occasions, she gave them a few thousand yuan at most. She made it clear to her biological mother: she wasn\u2019t Kathryn and wouldn\u2019t allow them to bully her.<\/p>\n

Her mother suffered deeply, but Kathryn refused to let anyone control her. Once she grew up, she fought back\u2014and she was ruthless. If anyone dared to bully her, she would chase them across villages with a kitchen knife.<\/p>\n

In her hometown, Kathryn was known for her fierceness.<\/p>\n

The Feng family had assumed that since she grew up in the countryside, she would be weak and easy to manipulate. They were wrong.<\/p>\n

Zheng Hua fell silent for a moment before speaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may not have raised you,\u201d he admitted, \u201cbut I gave you life. I am your father, and now that you\u2019re getting married, shouldn\u2019t you repay me for bringing you into this world?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen your mother was alive, she never got to enjoy your success or see you get married. But I\u2019m still here. So, shouldn\u2019t you show your filial piety to me instead?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she were alive, I wouldn\u2019t have come looking for you.\u201d
\nZheng Hua had raised Feng Ruo with care, cherishing her like a treasure.<\/p>\n

If things hadn\u2019t taken such a tragic turn, Feng Ruo would have gladly been filial to him. He wouldn\u2019t have had to worry about his retirement at all.<\/p>\n

What a pity.<\/p>\n

Zheng Hua resented the fate that had torn him and Feng Ruo apart. He refused to believe it was just bad luck\u2014someone must have deliberately plotted against them.<\/p>\n

That incident not only shattered his marriage but also forced him to make a devastating choice. To earn his wife\u2019s forgiveness, he castrated himself. Though it saved his life, his health never recovered.<\/p>\n

But the worst part? He lost his daughter.<\/p>\n

The bond between him and Feng Ruo was completely severed. She despised him, and how could he not hate her in return?<\/p>\n

They were both victims. The people who schemed against them deserved a miserable end.<\/p>\n

Back then, his wife was still alive. He feared her power and didn\u2019t dare to fight back\u2014he couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

In the end, he could do nothing but watch as his beloved daughter fell to her death.<\/p>\n

Feng Yue was too cruel.<\/p>\n

Even though Feng Ruo wasn\u2019t their biological daughter, she had grown up with them. Over time, without realizing it, they had come to love her as their own.<\/p>\n

Feng Yue had once cherished Feng Ruo like a part of herself.<\/p>\n

But the moment she discovered that Feng Ruo wasn\u2019t truly her daughter, she took back all the love she had given her for over twenty years\u2014completely and without hesitation.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t Feng Ruo\u2019s fault. She had been switched at birth. She was innocent.<\/p>\n

Zheng Hua saw things differently from Feng Yue. He still felt guilty for Feng Ruo. But Feng Yue? She only cared about the daughter that was rightfully hers.<\/p>\n
