As she had been used to Li Yufeng speaking to her coldly, the calm way in which she was now speaking made Zhuang Nainai uneasy. Zhuang Nainai stared at Li Yufeng silently as she waited for Li Yufeng to speak.
Li Yufeng also didn’t seem to need to wait for Zhuang Nainai to respond. Instead, she stared ahead blankly and said, “Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot. Even though Zhuang Meiting stole my child, it’s been a long time, and she hasn’t led a good life either. Now that she’s missing, I just feel like… all the hate I’ve been feeling for her can now disappear. This is not to say that a person’s death overrides everything, though.”
Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows. Over the past few days, she had been thinking anxiously about her mother. Hearing Li Yufeng say “a person’s death overrides everything” made her instantly uncomfortable.
She pressed her lips together, unwilling to start an argument with Li Yufeng. After all, Li Yufeng hadn’t obviously said that something bad had happened to her mother.
Li Yufeng sighed. “I really don’t like you either.”
This was no secret, but having it said out loud so blatantly… Zhuang Nainai felt something brewing beneath the surface.
“If you were to look at it from my point of view, you should be able to understand how I feel. You, a daughter I have been looking for for over 20 years, have acknowledged a villain for a mother… what’s more, finding you meant that your father managed to see her again too. Our family was then thrown into disorder, everything went out of control, and the peaceful life we led was destroyed. Pray tell me, how can I possibly like a daughter like you?”
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes and immediately rebuked her. “Since we’re talking about this, what about you? You say that you’re my mother, but the way you’ve treated me and the hateful gaze you’ve always used to look at me — how is it motherly in any way? All of you have been using and threatening me. Is this what parents are meant to do?”
Li Yufeng furrowed her brows upon hearing this. She seemed angry but managed to suppress her anger and simply sat down on the sofa. After staying silent for a while, she spoke once more. “I’m not here to argue with you. I heard from your attending physician that you nearly had a miscarriage from strong emotional fluctuations. I’m here to tell you that no matter who was in the wrong or in the right in the past, it’s all behind us now. In the future, let me make it up to you.”
In the future, Li Yufeng would make it up to her?
Zhuang Nainai curled her lips. So, after falling out with the Gus, without the threat of Mother Zhuang, this was their way of trying to get to her?
Did they really think she, Zhuang Nainai, was as malleable as dough? Ready to be kneaded in any direction they wanted?
Zhuang Nainai simply lay down and looked away from her. “I’m sorry, but I don’t need you to make it up to me.”
“You…”
“I have a family, kin, people I love… I don’t lack anything, so what are you trying to make up for?” Zhuang Nainai curled her lips. Perhaps it was the strange phone call she had received, or it was just the feeling that Li Yufeng gave her, but she just found it difficult to like Li Yufeng even a little bit.
The saying that blood was thicker than water applied to her relationship with Gu Deshou. Indeed, she felt a little for him, but with Li Yufeng… maybe Li Yufeng was just too cold and unfeeling, and together with the lack of interaction between the two of them, Li Yufeng simply felt like a stranger to her.
Li Yufeng looked at her. “You not accepting my offer is your business. My making it up to you is my business, so I just want to make sure that my conscience is clear.”
With that, she walked forward and opened the thermos flask. Pouring out a bowl of thick chicken soup, she said, “This chicken soup was made with a chicken I told Auntie Wang to buy the moment I got off the plane. The soup has been boiled for a whole 10 hours. Drink a little, it’s good for the baby.”
