The report said that years ago, Tan Zhen had established the Weiyang Angel Fund to help orphaned and left-behind children.

At that time, there had just been a major earthquake in Biancheng, leaving countless children orphaned.

She had raised money to establish an Angel’s Home for the children.

However, unexpectedly, she used most of the donated funds for herself, transferring them to her personal accounts.

The embezzlement was discovered because an anonymous millionaire donated twenty million yuan.

Later it was found out that the twenty million yuan had never been used for the construction of the orphanage in the disaster area. Its whereabouts were unknown.

After an investigation, it was revealed that the fund had been stripped away layer by layer, with barely anything left.

The scandal involving officials and businessmen was of great negative impact.

In the end, Tan Zhen was sentenced to eight years in prison, but her sentence was suspended due to her health condition.

During that period, Tan Zhen swallowed a box of sleeping pills in the hospital and never woke up.

After Tan Zhen’s death, two government officials also fell from grace.

The matter was then closed.

Because of the higher-ups orders, the media did not continue to report on it.

As Xia Yangyang read the report, she felt as if her blood was gradually solidifying.

How could this be, she still couldn’t believe that her mother was a corrupt person, embezzling donated funds.

Her mother was so gentle, so kind.

She would often visit the children in the welfare home, buying them many things.

She was also very gentle to small animals.

Xia Yangyang just couldn’t imagine that her mother could have done such a thing.

She couldn’t quite put her feelings into words.

Hers disbelief gradually turned into sadness.

If her mother really did these things, could there be any other reasons behind it?

Xia Yangyang always refused to picture her mother as an unforgivable villain.

However, the past left only traces.

Her mother had passed away.

There were many things that Xia Yangyang would never know.

Xia Yangyang bent down and gathered all the old newspapers reporting about her mother.

Some reports even completely exposed her mother’s family background.

Xia Yangyang even saw an old photo.

In the old photo, her mother looked very young. The photo was probably taken more than twenty years ago.

At that time, her mother had just graduated from the film academy, it was a graduation photo of her class.

While there was nothing unusual about the photo, the report went into some gossipy news.

But Xia Yangyang saw a familiar face among the many young women in the graduation picture.

It was Gu Mingzhu.

Although it was a photo from twenty years ago.

Gu Mingzhu’s appearance hasn’t changed much in those twenty years.

Time had taken away her youthfulness, but added charm.

That face, however, had not changed in the slightest.

When Xia Yangyang saw that face, she felt her heart suddenly miss a beat.

Because Gu Mingzhu’s head was leaning against Tan Zhen’s, the two woman’s arms were linked together, they seemed very close.

Both of them had bright smiles, their unbridled youth captured in the black and white photograph.

Xia Yangyang held the photo and looked at it for a long time.

In the end, she placed the newspaper in her bag.

Checking the time, she realized she had delayed for a long time.

Gu QiChen had already called her, asking where she was.

Xia Yangyang told him her location.

Gu QiChen arrived quickly.

She got into his car, her mind full of concerns.

While Gu QiChen was driving, he reached out and held Xia Yangyang’s hand: “Have you not sorted out what’s been bothering you?”

Xia Yangyang shook her head: “It seems even more complicated now.”

“Do you need my help?”

“No, when I can’t handle it, I’ll ask for your help.”

Xia Yangyang fell silent for a while, then suddenly asked: “Did my sister graduate from the August Film School?”
