Chapter 1672: Chapter 1661: The Villain’s Foster Mother

Chuqing said that she voluntarily gave up the Zhou Family’s wealth, which truly struck a chord with the public. In modern society, how many people are indifferent to money? Especially when it involves the vast wealth of the Zhou Family. But Chuqing decided to give it up without hesitation. What was her motivation behind this?

Was it to assure the Zhou Family, or was there another reason? Why make such a statement at the press conference?

Seeing the reporters’ skepticism below, Chuqing continued, "I hope everyone understands my intention. I grew up outside, while my sister was the one carefully nurtured as the rightful heir. My promise is solely to let everyone know that my mom would never deceive me; she has never manipulated me in any way."

She sniffled slightly and continued, "Perhaps many of you don’t know about my childhood. I was possibly abducted for a period, so when I reunited with my mom, my health was poor. At that time, my mom’s husband had already passed away. She spent all her savings to get me treated."

"After that, my mom worked part-time to support my living and education. Initially, she was against my entry into the entertainment industry because she deemed the path too challenging, and she insisted I focus on studying. But because of my persistence, she eventually compromised and depleted our family’s savings once more to enroll me in various supplementary classes during high school. Do you know why my mom is now an agent? It’s because she decided to take the exam when she learned of my intention to enter the entertainment field. Imagine this—a middle-aged woman attending adult college, obtaining an agent’s license—who can fathom the hardship she endured? If this isn’t love, then what is?"

Upon hearing this, both the people present and the online community began to admire Ye Qiu deeply. To what extent would a mother go for her daughter? If this isn’t love, then what could be?

"I just asked my parents if they’re willing to attend an adult college for me now. They told me to get lost."

"Adult college, really? I once asked my mom to learn how to use the new microwave, and she yelled at me."

"The thinking of middle-aged people is generally fixed. Getting a middle-aged person to learn new things is indeed challenging—not only for them, but even among us youngsters, how many truly pursue further studies and obtain a professional qualification in such a short time?"

"I couldn’t pass either—a national veteran sloth ardently refuses to use brainpower."

"Thinking about it, Chuqing’s adoptive mother is admirable."

"Perhaps this is the courage motherhood brings!"

Chuqing gave Ye Qiu a soft smile, her eyes slightly reddened, and said, "Mom has been so good to me; how could I possibly abandon her after finding my biological parents? Maybe my biological parents are more worldly experienced, always suspecting my mom’s intentions. To ease their minds, I decided to give up the Zhou Family inheritance. To you all, this might seem unfortunate, but to me, my mom, who raised me for over ten years, is more important."

Ye Qiu gently rubbed her head after hearing her words. They exchanged smiles, and this moment was perfectly captured by the photographers.

"Ah! I admit I’m envious. Why don’t I have such a wonderful mother!"

"Don’t say that. Could you become such an exemplary daughter? This is the Zhou Family’s vast fortune—a lifetime might not be enough to finish it. Yet Chuqing gave it up without hesitation."

"Perhaps those who haven’t experienced it can’t make such a decision. But isn’t it remarkable how a non-biological relationship can be stronger than a blood tie? Nowadays, many online either complain about incapable children or troublesome elders. I wish I could show them this mother-daughter pair."

"I’ve always believed the nurturing love outweighs the birth bond. Ye Qiu doesn’t have Zhou’s wealth, but she has given Chuqing the very best within her capacity. Would the Zhou Family give up all their wealth for Chuqing?"

"Although it’s a bit inappropriate to compare the two, one must realize that Ye Qiu is an exceptionally qualified mother. The Zhou Family shouldn’t spread malicious rumors about Ye Qiu just because Chuqing and Ye Qiu have a good relationship."

"Evidence? Just because Ye Qiu and Chuqing said so, it’s true? I still believe Zhou Linxia, the heir of the prestigious Zhou legacy, wouldn’t falsely accuse Ye Qiu without reason."

"Do you not understand? Didn’t Zhou Linxia coerce Chuqing into making such a statement about giving up her inheritance?"

"Zhou Linxia is the eldest daughter of the Zhou Family and the rightful heir. Would she need to scheme against her own sister?"

"Oh, please! In wealthy families, where isn’t there any scheming? Zhou Linxia had been the stable heir for over twenty years, and suddenly a sister arrived to share the wealth. Can she not feel conflicted? After all, not everyone is as generous as Chuqing. Who would mind having more money?"

The public immediately envisioned a saga of family conflicts among the wealthy. Some even speculated that Zhou Linxia, who used to play the piano, intentionally overshadowed Chuqing once she returned to the family. Given her tendency to flaunt wealth on shows, it’s evident she can’t easily give up money.

In fact, the public wouldn’t have thought so deeply into this if not for Ye Qiu also hiring a Water Army similar to Zhou Linxia, pushing from behind. Ye Qiu wanted Zhou Linxia to experience the taste of online slander—the past life of Chuqing and her current self had always been entangled with Zhou Linxia.

Even if it was intentional or just coincidental, she wanted Zhou Linxia to feel the sting of doubt and malice.

The press conference continued, and Chuqing said, "If anyone still doubts whether my mom treats me well, I have three witnesses."

Li Xinhe and her parents walked on stage after hearing this. Li Xinhe is gaining some fame, and some media immediately turned their cameras towards her.

Li Xinhe smiled softly, "Hello, everyone. I’m Li Xinhe, Chuqing’s best friend, and her classmate from kindergarten to high school. Regarding whether Aunt Ye ever mistreated Chuqing or how good she was to her—I reckon I have some authority to speak on that."

"Ah! It’s Sweet Heart He. I didn’t expect her to be Chuqing’s best friend."

"Who is this Sweet Heart He?"

"Have you seen the latest popular show ’I Sing’? Li Xinhe just recently made it to the top ten. I adore her."

"I know! I’ve heard she already signed with a record company, and even before her official debut, she’s already booked as a guest for Queen Zhong’s next concert. The company also promised to release her personal album later."

"I envy her for having such great resources. And with both friends excelling, what kind of divine friendship is this?"

"With all this, Li Xinhe’s words carry a lot of credibility. Let’s hear what she has to say."
