Chapter 906 Questioning!
Lu Qiaoge's voice echoed in the Dong family's living room.
At this point, no one could get a word in edgewise or refute the argument.
Even Dong Ze's expression was completely stiff.
Lian Liying's face was pale, it was hard to tell whether it was from discomfort or something else...
Anyway, I just feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Qiaoge continued, "...Although we didn't spend much time together, I could vaguely guess what the child was thinking at the time. She felt that it was all because of her that such a big incident happened, and she didn't know how to deal with your harsh scolding."
"I did some quick research at the hospital. When the child was brought there, she was wearing a sweater and patched pants, and she wasn't wearing socks. So, could I assume that... the clothes and socks were hand-me-downs from Dong Yuanyuan?"
"So, I'd like to ask, what were you two doing when Dong Mingming was standing at the window?"
Lu Qiaoge's tone suddenly turned sharp.
Dong Yuanyuan's face turned from flushed to deathly pale, her hands and feet were ice cold, and her lips trembled but she couldn't utter a single word.
Grandma Dong suddenly stood up, finally finding her voice, but it trembled as she said, "Lu Lu... Lu Qiaoge, didn't you say you were going to compensate me? Why are you talking about my granddaughter? This has nothing to do with you..."
As the old lady was speaking, she suddenly saw Lu Qiaoge raise an eyebrow, her heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
She originally wanted to say what this had to do with Lu Qiaoge, but wasn't that just contradicting herself? Because it was clear from these events that Lu Qiaoge was indeed involved in everything.
She dared not speak, for if she did, Lu Qiaoge would humiliate her so badly she would have nowhere to hide.
She realized that Lu Qiaoge was here to settle scores with them on behalf of Mingming.
Instead of addressing Lu Qiaoge, she turned to Lian Liying and said, "You're Mingming's biological mother, shouldn't you say something at this time?"
Lu Qiaoge looked at Lian Liying, who had opened her mouth, her eyes devoid of any warmth.
Lu Qiaoge had no interest in lecturing them, her voice sounding like ice: "...At that moment, Dong Mingming didn't want to face your scolding and your anger towards me. She must have felt that living was too hard, but she didn't want to wear the old clothes and socks that Dong Yuanyuan gave her. She didn't want to have anything to do with you, so she took off her coat and socks."
At this time, one of you is Dong Mingming's biological grandmother, and the other is Dong Mingming's half-sister.
Even so, you didn't notice anything amiss and continued to curse, venting your twisted and shameful emotions as usual.
None of you came forward to hug her or gently comfort her, saying, "Mingming, it's okay. The vase is broken, it's broken. We don't blame you or your sister Lu. We were just saying things in anger..."
Lu Qiaoge's eyes reddened as she spoke.
Qin Hengzhi stared blankly at his lover. Since they met, this was the first time he had seen Lu Qiaoge in such a sad state.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of disgust towards the Dong family.
At this moment, Grandma Dong seemed unable to bear it any longer. She grabbed the table next to her, and tears streamed down her face. She was not a bad person, but in Lu Qiaoge's words, she was utterly wicked.
Yes, if I hadn't been so focused on venting my anger and rage, and if I had been more alert when I was standing at the window, and if I had noticed my granddaughter's unusual behavior, the tragedy wouldn't have happened.
But she didn't.
The old lady was filled with regret.
She felt as if Lu Qiaoge had slowly tortured her.
Lu Qiaoge stared coldly at the Dong family: "Look carefully, everyone. This windowsill is not low. Given Mingming's height, she would need to support herself on the windowsill with both hands to stand on it. When she did this, Aunt Dong and Dong Yuanyuan, you were only a few steps away. I would like to ask, what were you doing at that time?"
Suddenly, Lu Qiaoge slammed her hand on the windowsill and said sharply, "What a pity! When Dong Mingming was standing on the windowsill, it was too late for you to do anything. She jumped without any hesitation!" At this moment, no one could sit still.
They all stood up at the same time.
Mrs. Dong couldn't help but sob, her face covered in tears. Dong Ze felt as if he couldn't breathe, and he closed his eyes in anguish.
Dong Yuanyuan was filled with hatred and anger, yet also panicked. She was distressed and wanted to burst into tears, but she stood there stiffly, not daring to make a sound.
Lian Liying's face was full of disbelief, and tears started flowing from her eyes at some point.
Lu Qiaoge's words echoed in her mind: her daughter, Dong Mingming, jumped...
why?
Why?!
Old Liu and Xiao Jiang exchanged a glance. This... they really didn't know, but there was still no accurate explanation as to how they fell.
Some people speculated that the old lady asked the child to clean the window, and the child accidentally fell down.
Some people say that the child must have fallen accidentally while playing.
But now Lu Qiaoge says she jumped down.
Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped.
Why does it make me feel so sad?
At this moment, neither of them doubted Lu Qiaoge's statement; they could tell from the Dong family's reaction that Lu Qiaoge was telling the truth.
This is really a tricky situation today.
Qin Hengzhi walked up to Lu Qiaoge, placed his hand on her shoulder and gently patted it, his eyes filled with worry.
Lu Qiaoge nodded gently to Qin Hengzhi, indicating that she was alright and there was no need to worry.
Lu Qiaoge pointed at the four members of the Dong family: "You are all Dong Mingming's relatives. Since things have come to this point, let's lay everything out on the table."
I will not shirk my responsibility; I will definitely provide the compensation that is due.
However, because of me, Mingming suffered so much injustice, even to the point of giving up her own life.
If I don't stand up and say a few words for her, am I even human?
Two leaders from the military are also here today, as are the elders and patriarchs of the Dong family.
I hope to get some answers to my questions.
So what I need to ask now is—what exactly did she do wrong? What's wrong with her? Did she have any malicious thoughts or shady schemes?
Does she disobey her elders? Does she argue with her parents? Does she hit or scold her family members?
Does she do nothing at home, expecting everything to be done for her?
Was she disrespectful to her half-sister? In what specific ways did she do so?
Is she a domineering and trouble-making person?
"Come, come, I'm right here, and the military leaders are here too. Who among you will step forward and say something?"
At this moment, Dong Ze's expression could no longer be described as merely ugly; rather, it conveyed an indescribable sense of embarrassment and gloom.
Standing there, he felt as if he were standing on a judge's bench...
