Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo arrived in the capital and went directly to the high-end apartment bought by Zhuzhu.

Wang Juan came to open the door, and Zhang Xiuhua saw her and immediately asked, "Where is Zhuzhu?"

"She's in the room. She's in a bad mood and has stopped all the announcements. I tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen." Wang Juan was worried.

Zhang Xiuhua knocked on the door, and Zhuzhu's irritable voice came from inside, "Can you let me be quiet for a while?"

"Zhuzhu, it's mom!" Zhang Xiuhua knocked on the door.

There was a thumping sound from inside, and the next moment the door opened. Zhuzhu appeared at the door. When she saw Zhang Xiuhua, her heart felt like it was soaked in warm water, and tears instantly fell. "Mom? Why are you here?"

"I heard it from your second brother." Zhang Xiuhua pulled Zhuzhu into the house and kept everyone else outside.

Zhuzhu was just sitting on the sofa on the balcony basking in the sun. Zhang Xiuhua pulled her to sit down and said, "I heard from Ergou that you were in a bad mood."

"Mom, am I really not your biological child?" Zhuzhu wiped the tears from her face, held Zhang Xiuhua's hand tightly, and stared at her mother.

She couldn't believe that she wasn't her biological child. Her mother loved her the most and treated her so well. How could she not be her biological child?

Zhang Xiuhua felt sad when she saw her longing eyes. She knew what she was expecting, but she couldn't bear to lie to her again. "Is it so important to you whether I am your biological child or not?"

"I always thought I was your biological child. But it turns out I'm not!" Zhuzhu's tears flowed down her eyes again, and her voice was anxious, "Mom, as long as you say it's your biological child, I will believe you!"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head slowly. Zhuzhu felt a lump in her nose and her eyes turned red. She couldn't believe that what the grandfather said was actually true.

Zhang Xiuhua looked distressed, but she still patiently told her, "Your mother died when you were born, and I married your father when you were one year old. You were young and didn't remember anything, so I raised you as my own child. It doesn't matter to me whether you are my biological child or not. Is it that important to you?"

Zhuzhu was stumped by her question. She felt very sad and bitter, and had an inexplicable guilt. "I just feel very sad. How great it would be if I were your child."

Her mother loved her the most since she was a child, and her brothers and sisters treated her well. She was the happiest child in the family. But now she was told that she was not her mother's. She was really sad.

Zhang Xiuhua wiped her tears and said, "Although you are not my biological child, I love you just as much as I do."

Zhuzhu leaned in her arms, tightly grasped her sleeve, and asked carefully, "Will you still love me in the future?"

"I have always known that you are not my biological child. Blood relationship is not the most important thing to me. What matters is whether you have me as your mother in your heart?" Zhang Xiuhua touched her hair and comforted her patiently.

Zhuzhu has always been smooth sailing. This is probably the only setback she has experienced since she was a child. She shook her head almost immediately, "Of course. When I heard that you were not my mother, I was so sad."

For Zhuzhu, the most important thing is the love of her parents, especially her mother. As long as her mother still loves her, everything else is trivial.

Zhang Xiuhua touched her hair and said, "I know. That's why I rushed back as soon as I heard that you were in trouble."

"Zhuzhu, you can't give up on yourself anymore. The newspapers outside have misinterpreted you. If you don't clarify, your fans will stay away from you. You have filmed so many dramas to get to where you are today, and you have worked hard to accumulate so many fans. You can't let all your efforts go to waste." Zhang Xiuhua didn't want Zhuzhu's acting career to be ruined because of this little thing.

Zhuzhu wiped her tears and cheered herself up, "Okay! I'll take the notice. Mom, you go on TV with me."

"Okay!" There are some things that Zhuzhu is not convenient to say, but as her stepmother, she can prove it for her.

**

The interview of Zhuzhu and Zhang Xiuhua was soon broadcast on all major TV stations. Sometimes the power of capital is indeed infinite.

Zhuzhu endorsed too many advertisements before, which damaged her image and also affected the brand, so these brands asked the TV station to broadcast this interview to eliminate her negative news as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiuhua and Zhuzhu watched the TV broadcast at home. Sometimes the interviews would be cut off from the beginning to the end, deliberately creating gimmicks for the sake of ratings.

However, if actors want to appear on camera, they cannot go against the TV stations, so actors become a vulnerable group.

When the music came out, the interview officially began.

At the beginning, Zhuzhu was interviewed by the host alone, asking about the incident in which her grandfather called her ungrateful.

Zhuzhu was a little sad. "I have been staying at home these days. I never thought that the mother who loves me so much is not my biological mother. It's really sad."

The host showed a surprised look, "You mean you didn't know it before?"

"Yes! My family never told me that I was not their biological child. I have never seen my grandparents since I was a child. I thought he was a liar at first. But later my eldest brother called me and told me, and then I knew I was not their biological child. To be honest, it is hard for me to accept it. I have locked myself in my room these days. I have been thinking about my childhood over and over again." Zhuzhu's eyes were red. "The thing I am most proud of since I was a child is that I am the fruit of my parents' love. Now someone tells me that this is fake, really... My mind is confused all of a sudden, and I don't want to believe it is true."

The audience in front of the TV had a problem with Zhuzhu before. They thought she was ungrateful. Her biological mother died in childbirth, but she only recognized her stepmother. Although the grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising, you can't pretend that your biological mother, who gave her life to give birth to you, doesn't exist.

Now that they heard that Zhuzhu really didn't know, the audience felt that it was understandable. After all, the child was still young, and it was normal for him not to remember things.

The host asked again, "Will you feel sad when facing your mother now?"

When Zhuzhu was facing the audience, she did not act like a little girl and was very strong. "My mother came to the capital to find me. I asked her if she would still love me. She said, 'I already knew you were not her biological child, so why wouldn't I love you?' Then I felt relieved. I think my mother is great. I am obviously not her biological child, but she still loves me very much. I am already luckier than many people in this world."

After listening to her words, the audience also felt that this stepmother was better than many biological mothers. She really treated her daughter as her own.

The host asked her, "What about your biological mother?"

"I didn't know this before, but I will often go to her grave to burn money for her in the future." Zhuzhu's eyes were red and she wiped away her tears.

The host invited Zhang Xiuhua to come on stage. Accompanied by music, Zhang Xiuhua, dressed in makeup and new clothes, came on stage.

She sat next to Zhuzhu, who held Zhang Xiuhua's arm and leaned on her shoulder.

Zhang Xiuhua shook her hand and greeted the host and the audience in front of the TV.

The first question the host asked Zhang Xiuhua was very pointed, "Why did you never tell Zhuzhu that you were not her biological mother? Isn't it too selfish for her biological mother to do this?"

Zhang Xiuhua explained the reason. "When Zhuzhu was a little over one year old, her father came back from the army on vacation. It happened to be her mother's death anniversary. Her father took Zhuzhu to her grandparents' house to give gifts and was as filial as before. But the things he bought, grandma only gave them to her little grandson. Zhuzhu didn't eat a single bite and deliberately wanted to eat her. Zhuzhu cried very sadly, and then Zhuzhu's father couldn't stand his daughter crying, so he also bought a pound of egg cakes and went to her grandparents' door to want his little grandson. The little grandson was unwilling to come and grab it, and the two fought. The two families broke up completely, and he never went to their house again from then on. The two families were completely cut off. Zhuzhu was too young at that time and didn't remember anything. Gradually, she forgot about it. When she was one year old, I married her father and treated her as my own daughter. She always thought I was her real mother. I don't think it's necessary to remind a child that your mother died when giving birth to you. That will put a lot of pressure on the child and make her feel guilty. It will also affect her mental health. I hope Zhuzhu can grow up happily and worry-free in the future."

After the audience heard her tell the whole story, they no longer had any prejudice against her. It is not easy to be a stepmother, and it is rare that she can raise the child left by her ex-wife as her own. Whether she is kind-hearted or selfish, everyone can understand.

The host asked another question, "I saw a newspaper saying that you once interfered with the marriage of Li Baozhu's parents. Is that true?"

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes widened in surprise. "How is this possible? I'm from Jiangxi Province, and his father is from Northeast China. We are thousands of miles apart. He was a soldier at the time and had been at the border. When I met Zhuzhu's father, her biological mother had been dead for more than a year. We met him because he went to our hometown to deliver a letter to our captain's son, who was his comrade-in-arms. Then the captain's mother thought we were a good match and acted as a matchmaker for us. I had just been abandoned by my educated youth husband, and he wrote me a divorce letter after returning to the city. Before that, I didn't know Zhuzhu's father at all. Our marriage was not full of romantic dramas. We just got to know each other, you told me my requirements, I told you your requirements, and if we could accept each other, then he would go back to the army to apply for marriage. Life is not a TV series, there are not so many twists and turns."

At this point, Zhang Xiuhua's face was serious, and she asked the host, "Which newspaper is making up this story? This is destroying my reputation, I want to sue it!"

When the audience heard that she was serious and dared to sue, they all believed her.

You should know that ordinary people seldom sue. Firstly, the cost is not low. Secondly, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the government officials were incompetent and naturally afraid of the government.

The fact that Zhang Xiuhua dared to file a lawsuit shows that she has the confidence.

The interview was quickly broadcast on major media, first on television, then on radio, and then in newspapers.

Soon, the media recognized Zhang Xiuhua as the person who had killed a robber on the train. Then, news broke that Li Baozhu and Zhang Baolin were sisters.

Some people are also curious, Zhang Baolin and Li Baozhu are sisters, so why do they have the same surname?

A reporter went to interview Zhang Baolin, who was training for the Olympics, and she admitted it generously, "Yes! Zhuzhu is my sister, and we have the same mother! I took my mother's last name, and Baozhu took my father's last name. We are a reconstituted family. It's normal that we don't have the same last name."

Zhang Xiuhua's bravery and the fact that she is the mother of an Olympic champion made Zhuzhu's negative news the target of public criticism. The fans who had disappeared before also came back one after another.

This incident seemed to be just a disturbance, but Ergou later found out through investigation that it was someone's doing.

There was an actress who signed with a foreign agency, and her acting style collided with Zhuzhu's. Then when the two were choosing scripts, the producer found Zhuzhu first, and then Zhuzhu played this role and became popular again, so she started to do bad things and plotted against Zhuzhu.

Zhuzhu never thought that there was a shady hand behind this, and this actress usually has a good reputation. But he was secretly trying to trip her up, trying to step on her to get to the top!

Ergou spread the gossip in the circle. No director dared to use such a person. Who knows if she would stab him in the back. Besides, she is not so beautiful that he must have her.

After this incident, Zhuzhu became more mature.
