Dong Xin Yan didn’t want to cry, but her nose filled with an endless sourness, her eyes stung and swelled, mist rising before her eyes, blurring her vision. She watched Lady Wei’s slowly receding figure, and time seemed to instantly return to that night. She dragged her luggage, leaving resolutely. She ran up, grabbing her hand, shouting "Mom, don’t go," but she forcefully shook her off. She fell to the ground, without even a glance, she strode away.
Dong Xin Yan clenched her hands tightly, her hands trembling violently, her fingertips almost pale.
As a child, she couldn’t stop her from leaving, but now she’s grown up. At least she can know why. Didn’t she want her dad, didn’t she want her?
Dong Xin Yan’s voice, as she spoke, was unconsciously trembling. She still gritted her teeth, trying hard to stay calm.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Lady Wei’s footsteps halted, pausing for a few seconds. She still turned around again, her posture graceful, her face exquisite, even with a proper smile on her lips.
"Miss Dong, please ask."
Dong Xin Yan took a deep breath, controlling her trembling, and spoke, "Do you have a daughter...?"
"Of course, I do." The source of this content ɪs noᴠelfire.net
Before Dong Xin Yan’s words had finished, Lady Wei had naturally answered. As she answered, her lips curved slightly, and there was an added touch of laughter in her eyes. The cold mask slipped away, touched with the glow of a loving mother.
Dong Xin Yan’s eyes suddenly lit up. Was she finally going to acknowledge her?
But before she could be happy, Lady Wei’s next words once again harshly plunged her into the dark hell.
She said, "My daughter is eighteen this year, smart and obedient, well-behaved and compliant. I love her very much. She is my pride."
Eighteen years old...
So, she wasn’t talking about her. Was she... the daughter she had after leaving?
She loves her, what about her?
"Do you only... have one daughter?"
"Yes, I have only one daughter."
Lady Wei smiled as she answered, her voice so gentle, her tone so kind, yet every word she said stabbed fiercely into her heart like a sharp knife.
Dong Xin Yan was in such pain that her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her steps becoming unsteady, retreating a few steps unconsciously.
Lady Wei looked at Dong Xin Yan’s suddenly pale face, somewhere deep in her heart seemed to ache slightly, but that was all. Her face remained calm, without a ripple in her gaze.
"Miss Dong, do you have any more questions you want to ask?"
Originally... she had a lot to ask, there were many things she wanted to say to her, but now there was no need to ask anything.
She denied even her existence. How could she ask a stranger why she abandoned her?
Dong Xin Yan smirked self-deprecatingly, speaking coldly, "No more, sorry to bother you, Lady Wei."
Dong Xin Yan forced down all her sadness, smiled at Lady Wei, and was about to turn and leave when Lady Wei suddenly spoke up.
"Mr. Gu has a fiancée, did you know?"
Dong Xin Yan was slightly stunned, not expecting Lady Wei to suddenly say such words. She couldn’t help but look up at her, only to see her frowning slightly, a hint of disdain and contempt in her eyes.
Though she didn’t show it obviously, she still clearly saw it.
Dong Xin Yan’s already somewhat pale face turned even paler at this moment, her pearly teeth unconsciously biting down on her lower lip, holding it tightly.
