Ye Qiao definitely knew the reason.
"Gun Gun, I had too many misunderstandings with your dad in my former life. At the time, I felt that it was a sin for a child to be born into a family without love.
"That was how I felt too, in my own former life. I wished vehemently that I was never born after I got into the Ye family… So, I always wanted you to leave too. I asked you to get lost every day. But when you were really gone, I felt excruciating pain!" She choked with sobs. Those were her true feelings and words.
Of course, Lu Xiaogun felt quite sad about the incident. Hence, he bore a grudge against his mother ever since.
"Gun Gun, don't be sad, okay? I truly love you deeply. When you're able to move on to your next life and be reborn, you must be my child! Give me the chance to be a good mother to you!" Ye Qiao continued, and by then, she almost burst into tears.
"I hate girls so much! Why do you always like to cry!?" Lu Xiaogun said disdainfully. "Ye Qiao, you're overthinking…"
He always behaved like it didn't bother him... but it did.
'It's so frustrating! How could she see right through me!?'
"Alright. I won't be sad anymore. I'll obey my baby's advice. I'll equip myself with martial arts and skills!" She wiped away the tears, smiled, and said.
Lu Xiaogun remained quiet again.
However, after being quiet for a long while, he said seriously, "Ye Qiao, grandma did love you. She gave you her life… And grandpa too. They truly loved each other at the time. You were born because of their love. Don't care about what Ye Zhenzhen said."
"Lu Xiaogun, I won't care about what that girl said! I'm a strong person now! There, there. The people I care about the most are you and your dad!"

One could hear the noise of a fierce quarrel in the master bedroom. Ye Zhenzhen hid outside, standing by the door. She clenched both of her fists tightly and was filled with hatred.
"Ye Shengxun, don't think that I'm not aware of it. Every year on this day, you'll act strangely. Zhenzhen didn't even say anything to me. It's you! You sided with Ye Qiao!"
"Qin Lan! You are still trying to indulge Zhenzhen! If you act like this, Zhenzhen will be ruined by you sooner or later! She's become so reckless and unruly now. Don't you know that? Is this the kind of good daughter you raised who has excellent manners and academic results? Did I side with Ye Qiao? If I sided with Ye Qiao, I would have brought her here and raised her beside me a long time ago. For you and Zhenzhen, I always tolerate and endure everything. I've become a bad dad! What more do you want?"
That was the first time Ye Shengxun argued so vigorously with Qin Lan since they married each other. Additionally, every single word he said hurt Ye Zhenzhen deeply.
"Do you want to keep her beside you? F*ck you, Ye Shengxun! So many people have ridiculed my daughter and me because of that illegitimate daughter of yours. Our Ye family is being mocked by a lot of outsiders. And you... you almost lost your government post because of that illegitimate daughter! Have you forgotten about these things?"
'It's Ye Qiao's fault. She's to be blamed. My dad only adored me in the past.'
Ye Zhenzhen panted with anger. Seeing that the door of the master bedroom was opened, she quickly ran into her room.
Observing Ye Zhenzhen entering, Ye Shengxun walked out and slammed the door as he left. He did not want to argue with the unreasonable mother and daughter.
Meanwhile, Qin Lan rushed toward Ye Zhenzhen frantically. She grabbed her and strangled her neck. She then said, "Ye Zhenzhen! Did you hear what your dad said? If you fail to get admitted into J University the next year, and that stupid Ye Qiao defeats you, I'll make you pay a heavy price for it!"
It was only when Ye Zhenzhen was about to be strangled to death that Qin Lan let go of her.
Ye Zhenzhen had never seen her mother like that; she was extremely fierce.. Her mother looked just like a madwoman.
