Because I simply love you

Everyone looked behind to see a woman coming towards them.

They were stunned.

Chen Liling? And wait…Chen Guiren and Chen Jianyu too!

The whole Chen family is here!

Just behind Chen's, another car came. A tall man in his forties got down.

They saw who he was and shock was an understatement.

Liu Hai!? Chen Liling's brother? Did he come as well? But why?

There were too many questions.

---

Over at Suyin's end, she saw all of them coming and was stunned. They came all the way here?

Then she smirked. Maybe they just couldn't help themselves from personally coming here and teach her a lesson for messing with them. Nice.

Her phone beeped.

Ah! Who is texting in the middle of such a great show?

She frowned. It was from an anonymous number.

She opened it and her whole world crashed down. Instantly. From dreaming to be with Jianyu again to see that same dream crushing into pieces.

There were photos, of her and a man being intimate. Some in a private bar room and some coming out of a hotel.

No! My photos with Shen Ye!? How are they…who got them? Didn't he say at that time that he was careful enough not to get shot? So, then how!?

Another text came.

Admit that it was you who got Nana's past leaked, or else my finger is on the Send button. One click and the next person to see them is Chen Jianyu...or even better, maybe the same media who is in front of you.

The phone fell from her hand.

No…if Jianyu sees them then it's all over. I will be finished. He will know the truth and he will hate me forever!

---

"Is it done?", Jinhai asked.

"Yes, sir. I have sent those photos. She will have no choice but to come forward."

"Hm."

---

On the other side, some of the reporters instantly surrounded them.

"Mr. and Mrs. Chen, and Mr. Chen Jianyu. What do have to say about Nana?"

"We heard that you are dating. Is this true?"

"Knowing the truth, will you still accept Nana in your family?"

The whole family silently glared at them and they instantly shut up.

Jianyu said coldly, "Out of the way."

They felt the chills and instantly dispersed.

Chen Liling immediately went to Nana and took her in a huge hug.

"Dear, are you okay? Don't worry. We are all here now. We heard everything you said and we are all so sorry for you. You are a very strong girl. We are proud of you. You handled the media well. Now it's our turn.", she patted her back.

Chen Guiren nodded.

Nana smiled crying and hugged her back.

The twins were relieved.

Jianyu said worriedly, "Nana, are you alright? You are not hurt anywhere right?"

She shook her head.

A certain someone came and pushed Chen Liling to the side and took Nana in a big bear hug.

"Child! Don't you worry. I'm here now. I will not let you suffer anymore.", he smiled menacingly at all the reporters, "You have given me quite a few toys to play with in my free time. Ho ho ho!"

Everybody gulped. Nobody wanted to be Liu Hai's target.

Chen Liling staggered a bit but her husband caught her.

Her mouth twitched in annoyance.

"Big brother!"

He simply shrugged.

Nana felt emotional.

The whole media was dumbfounded looking at the scene. Even all the neighbors. They didn't expect this reaction. They did see the news right?

The same female reporter gathered her courage and said, "So, Nana. You still haven't answered my question."

Chen Liling glared at her and said, "I will answer that."

Jianyu took a file and showed it to them. They were the records and entries of Nana visiting City X Hospital. There were photos of her spending time with Yu Ichika; taking care of her, going on a stroll with her and sitting beside and talking to her. The records of the past eleven years. There were also Yu Ichika's reports and diagnosis papers.

"So, miss reporter, did your verification also include this?"

She was nervous. Everybody else too.

"This…"

"The saddest part is that her own mother didn't believe her, not because she found her guilty. But because she was in a very fragile state of mind. The psychiatrists said that she chose to trust her husband because in that situation her mind was a mess. She thought that Nana came much later in their lives. She knew her husband earlier and better than Nana who loved her dearly. So, it was impossible for him to do such a shameful thing."

Nobody said anything.

Jianyu continued, "The doctors agreed that somewhere from the bottom of her heart, she had already realized the truth. Her husband had indeed attacked Nana. But, unconsciously, the fact came in her mind that ultimately Nana was not their biological child. In a sense, she was still a stranger. An orphan child with an unknown background."

Chen Liling said, "And out of two people, one generally tends to be biased towards the person whom he or she met first. Human psychology."

She smiled, "But even after how Yu Ichika treated and banished Nana, she still cares for her and regularly visits her. Yu Ichika doesn't recognize her now. Her mental state is worsened. But even now Nana is doing her filial duties. So, tell me. Does she need to do this if she had seduced her father? Does she need to feel any responsibility towards her mother if she had betrayed them?"

The evidence was a cruel slap to everyone's faces. They felt like they were beaten into a pulp getting swollen everywhere. Their big inflated balloon of righteousness burst into nothing.

"Anybody has more to ask?", Chen Liling challenged them.
