The family rushed to the hospital immediately.

On the way to the hospital, Zhou Zihan was extremely anxious, but she was also afraid that her parents and older brother would side with Ruan Mianmian, so she asked, "What are you really thinking? Are you really going to acknowledge Ruan Mianmian, the one who knocked out two of Mom and Dad's teeth?"

Zhou Yan'an and his wife felt terrible when they thought back to how Ruan Mianmian had punched them so hard they were sent flying, knocked out their teeth, swollen their faces, and made them eat only liquid food for half a month, losing more than ten pounds. Their disgust for Ruan Mianmian resurfaced, but when they thought of her face, which looked just like Old Mrs. Zhou's, the resentment that had welled up after watching the video vanished in an instant.

So what if Ruan Mianmian is their biological daughter?

She would never acknowledge them, and she even tried to kill them. What's the point of acknowledging such a biological daughter?

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Yihan said, "Ruan Mianmian has the Zhang family as her backer. It would be good if we could repair our relationship with her. At the very least, we could expand our business."

Zhou Zihan sneered and retorted, "Big brother, do you think Ruan Mianmian, who hates us so much, would try to mend her relationship with us? Aren't you afraid she'll punch you and knock your teeth out?" He added disdainfully.

"She's so cold-blooded and vengeful. Just because Ruan Daqing and his wife treated her badly in the past, she wouldn't even give them a penny. Would she be willing to lend us any leverage? In my opinion, if she were to return to our family, she might seize our assets and then use the opportunity to ruin our business."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yihan, recalling Ruan Mianmian's personality, broke out in a cold sweat.

It's really possible.

Ruan Mianmian definitely didn't have any good feelings towards them.

Although they are blood relatives, they have never spent time together and are practically strangers. Coupled with past grievances, their relationship should be that of enemies.

Ruan Mianmian, a cold-blooded and vengeful enemy, would feel no guilt whatsoever in bringing them down; in fact, she might even find it satisfying.

If Ruan Mianmian heard this, she would definitely say, "You really understand me!"

At this point, Mrs. Zhou spoke up: "We've never been on the same path, so let's not talk about repairing our relationship. I don't know if she'll acknowledge me, but I don't want to. In my heart, only Dandan is my daughter."

Although Zhou Danhan is not very outstanding, she is sweet-talking and has a good way of speaking, making her her sweet little darling.

As for Ruan Mianmian, she doesn't want a beautiful steel bar engraved with the face of her most hated mother-in-law, who would beat her if she saw it.

After hearing Zhou Yihan's words, Zhou Yan'an also considered using this opportunity to curry favor with the Zhang family, but after hearing his youngest son Zhou Zihan's words, he gave up the idea.

If repairing the relationship with Ruan Mianmian could really allow him to curry favor with the Zhang family, he would definitely support restoring the relationship. However, as his youngest son said, Ruan Mianmian is vengeful and would never help them, so it's better not to acknowledge it at all.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Zhou Zihan breathed a sigh of relief and, as usual, checked the news online.

Upon seeing this, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "The Municipal Public Security Bureau's Weibo account has posted a blue-background announcement. The announcement clearly states that Ruan Daqing and his wife are suspected of child trafficking and abandonment."

"It's just a child swap, what does that have to do with child trafficking? And what's this abandonment charge, and who was abandoned?" Zhou Yan'an was both puzzled and angry. "I think Ruan Mianmian is just fabricating this because she has connections. If she dares to do anything outrageous again, we'll use this to sue her and the people behind her!"

Zhou Zihan scrolled through her phone quickly, saying as she read, "The crime of child trafficking is taking Ruan Mianmian away from her biological parents. The crime of abandonment is that they deliberately failed to raise Dandan."

“They don’t raise Dandan, but they do raise Ruan Mianmian, right? They just take turns raising her,” Mrs. Zhou immediately said. “How can that be called trafficking and abandonment?”

Zhou Zihan shook her head: "I don't know either. Netizens explained that this is how the law defines it."

"There's actually a legal definition for this?" Zhou Yan'an was somewhat surprised, then remained silent for a moment before saying, "Aren't we the aggrieved parties? What will happen if we don't sue?"

He wanted Ruan Daqing and his wife, who had fooled him, to go to jail, but he didn't want to make too much of a scene and affect Zhou Danhan and the Zhou family.

Zhou Zihan shook her head as she quickly read through the netizens' explanations: "These are all public prosecution cases, so we don't need to file a complaint. Some people say that abandonment is, in principle, a public prosecution case, but if the victim has evidence to prove that the defendant committed the crime of abandonment, the court can accept it as a private prosecution case. In short, they are all public prosecution cases."

Zhou Yan'an thought for a moment and said, "Then let Ruan Daqing and his wife go to jail." Those two bastards actually dared to fool him.

Thinking about what people who knew him would say about him behind his back, his face burned with embarrassment, and his hatred for Ruan Daqing and his wife and Ruan Mianmian intensified.

He hated Ruan Daqing and his wife because they had fooled him.

He hated Ruan Mianmian because she made the matter public, causing him to be discussed and lose face.

It was already very late at night, but netizens were still enjoying the gossip with great enthusiasm.

There is no such thing as being sleepy, and there is no such thing as sleeping!

The melons smell so good, they could stay up all night cultivating immortality!

I thought Ruan Mianmian's reputation was ruined and she was going to retire from the entertainment industry, but unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn and a huge bombshell dropped!

Ruan Daqing and his wife deliberately switched the babies!

It wasn't that the real and fake heiresses were switched at birth; rather, the fake heiresses' parents maliciously switched them with the real heiresses so that the fake heiresses, Zhou Danhan, could get better conditions!

Moreover, this drama of a real and fake heiress is not only related to the entertainment industry and ethics, but also to the law!

Switching two children is equivalent to human trafficking and infant abandonment!

Because Ruan Daqing and his wife were involved in the trafficking of Ruan Mianmian, they were not legally adopting her, so they are not Ruan Mianmian's adoptive parents at all!

In other words, even if they only suffered a fracture and were hospitalized, or even if they fell and died, Ruan Mianmian would not visit them or offer incense to them, and there would be no moral or legal issues involved!

Wow, I've really learned something new!

Just as netizens were discussing the matter enthusiastically, Hong Kong media stationed in mainland China released a series of photos with the headline: "Zhou Danhan's attempt to steal a chicken backfires, and she faints from anger, calling for an ambulance. The entire Zhou family visits her late at night—unwavering devotion to the fake chicken, disdain for the real phoenix, a double buff of distorted humanity and moral decay."

When netizens clicked on the photo, it was indeed as the title described.

As a result, everyone's discussion became even more enthusiastic.

"Hahaha, Zhou Danhan originally wanted to kill Ruan Mianmian, but ended up being killed by Ruan Mianmian instead, so he fainted from anger. It's so satisfying!"

"I really want to know if the Zhou family knew that their biological daughter had been deliberately switched by Ruan Daqing and his wife when they visited Zhou Danhan in the hospital."

"I'm crying uncontrollably! My poor Mianmian is so unlucky! How did she end up with such terrible parents?! Please tell me, how can we sever ties with the Zhou family?!"
