Handsome CEO's Darling Wife
chapter-892-30041322

Zhuang Lei was locked up inside an iron cage. Though she was able to move freely, this cage was small. It prevented her from trying to kill herself.

Mu Lan ignored that woman's scream and said, "Though I dealt with Li Shen's mother, I left her companion alone thinking you might want to do something with her. She is your beloved twin sister who almost killed you during your pregnancy."

"And she tried to kill you as well. I know everything. Lanie, give us some moment." Zhuan Zhen's voice turned cold.

Upon hearing that Zhuang Lei flinched. She didn't think that her sister already knew. Still, she tried one last time. "Sister, don't believe what she says. She is lying. She wants to break our bonding."

"As you wish, mommy." Mu Lan left. There was a yellow light turned on. Thus, Zhuan Zhen could see her sister.

Zhuan Zhen calmly said, "There is nothing to break, Xiao Lei. All this time, I knew who attempt to murder me using the doctor, I know who tortured my daughter and almost starved her to death to get my property, I also know who sold my daughter for money."

Zhuang Lei shook her head. "I didn't do anything… I didn't…"

Zhuan Zhen looked at her in the eyes and said, "Xiao Lei, you can stop acting now. After our father lost his company, you left us and became an adopted daughter of a wealthy family. I tried to look for that family's background but I couldn't find anything. In the end, it was the infamous Zhuang Family. You sold your body to that old master of the house and his three beastly sons just to live a luxurious life. Why? Though we went to live in our grandparent's house, we lived well and had enough to eat. Couldn't you stay with us?"

Zhuang Lei stopped talking. She stayed silent for a minute and later looked at her twin elder sister. "What do you know about luxury? I had all the money I needed, branded designed dresses, jewelry, cars and everything I could wish for. I simply had to let me drown in luxury and everything was mine. But what did you do? You couldn't stand my happiness and wanted to take me away from there. When they saw you, they practically threw me away and wanted to have you."

She screamed, "Why? Why do you always have to barge in my life? Why do people get attracted to you when we both look alike? Why did everything I built had to be taken by you?"

Zhuan Zhen took a deep breath before saying, "I never wanted to harm you nor did I ever want to take anything from you. I wanted you to leave with us and have a safe, peaceful life without any attachment of the darkness. I know you loved luxury but Xiao Lei, but please don't tell me that giving those animals pleasure wasn't a torture for you. Even if you deny I won't believe it."

Tears threatened to fall from Zhuang Lei's eyes. "Whatever it was, you had no right to interfere." Her grip on the iron rods had tightened.

"You are my sister, a girl whom I shared half of my mother's womb with. From the moment of our very existence, we were together. I have every right to help you out of the darkness and show you the right path. You can deny your existence in the Zhuan Family but you cannot deny my existence in your life, Xiao Lei." Zhuan Lei's words pierced through Zhuang Lei's heart. Her lips trembled but she was unable to say anything.

Zhuan Zhen continued, "I failed to be your sister since I couldn't bring you out of the path you unwisely chose. I couldn't guide you and it's on me. But for money and status, you tried to harm me and my unborn child, and for the property, you nearly starved my only daughter to death. Xiao Lei, if you hated me, you could harm me but why take it on the innocent children. You know Lanie. She would give her life away for you if you loved her properly. She would've given away all the properties she had if you could give her the warmth of the family."

Zhuang Lei smirked. "Heh, if I knew she would be such a goodie two shoes, I would have taken great care of her."

"I see… there is still no room for you to return to my side. No matter what happens, you will always choose the devil's side." Zhuan Zhen nodded. "Fine then, since you insist, I won't force you anymore. I regret forcing you in the past. If I didn't, my daughter wouldn't have to suffer horribly."

"You are wrong sister. As long as you let me go, I will stay with you and won't ever leave you." Zhuang Lei said. Her eyes glittered in hope. "I promise you, sister. I'll be obedient."

Before Zhuan Zhen could say anything, Mu Lan said, "Leopard doesn't change its spot, neither will you change. Even if you do, you won't be getting anywhere. Mommy might forgive you, but I haven't forgotten how you treated me back then. How you put your heel on my face while selling me off. I haven't forgotten every single evil thing you have done. Dearest auntie, I won't let you go."

Zhuang Lei sneered. "Do you think my daughter will let you off after you harm me? She will come to save me."

Mu Lan couldn't help but laugh. "Your daughter? Xiao Mei? I don't think so. You haven't taught her that well to make her a saint. As long as she doesn't get anything in return, she will never help anyone. What will she get after saving you?"

"Her husband is the most powerful person in China. Do you think you can get away that easily?" Zhuang Lei gazed at her proudly.

Mu Lan sweetly said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Li Shen divorced her because he found out that little Shan isn't his son."
