Feng Wei found it hard to understand. “Mom, why have you suddenly become so heartless? Is it because of that woman just now? You’re treating her like your own daughter, but she must be after your status and our family’s wealth! Mom, please don’t let yourself be deceived!”
“You should worry about yourself,” Feng Mo lounged elegantly on the sofa, every movement noble and graceful. “You owe quite a bit of money, but after following Mei Cheng for so many years, surely you’ve saved up something?” Facing her mother’s questioning, Feng Wei felt utterly ashamed.
When she insisted on marrying Mei Cheng, she never imagined that after all these years, she would end up penniless and drowning in debt.
Wasn’t this her retribution?
“Mom, I truly know i was wrong.” Feng Wei knelt before her, tears streaming down uncontrollably, breathless with sobs.
Any mother might have softened at this scene, but Feng Mo was seemingly gentle yet stubborn in character.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been willing to forsake this daughter to prevent Feng Wei from marrying into the Mei family.
But at this point, no amount of words would change anything.
Setting down her teacup, Feng Mo said lightly, “Go back. We shouldn’t meet again.”
Feng Wei looked up abruptly, anguished. “Mom, I’m your own daughter, born after all your hardships. Are you really abandoning me?”
“When you insisted on leaving with Mei Cheng back then, did you ever think that you were the daughter I risked my life to carry for ten months?”
Feng Wei sat stunned on the ground.
The icy chill from the floor crept into her limbs through her knees, making her unable to maintain the kneeling posture. She could only collapse weakly, pleading, “Mom, just this once, please help me, okay? I won’t bother you again, 1 promise! Please, I don’t want to die.”
Suppressing her heartache, Feng Mo turned away with a furrowed brow, avoiding eye contact. Suddenly, she noticed Lin He, who had been standing in the corner for who knows how long. The pain in her eyes instantly turned to joy.
She beckoned Lin He over, looking at her elegant dress, her eyes softening. “It’s beautiful. How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable about it?”
“No, Mom, thank you for preparing this dress for me.” Lin He timidly expressed her gratitude before hastily glancing at Feng Wei on the ground. “Mom, she’s your…”
Feng Mo seemed reluctant to hear those two words from her. She interrupted, “Just wearing this dress isn’t enough. Tonight’s ball is particularly important, specially arranged for you to let everyone know you’re my daughter. I’ve also arranged a professional styling team. They’ll be here soon. Go take a shower and get ready.”
“Okay.” Lin He obediently agreed and then turned to go upstairs to her room.
Feng Mo then looked back at Feng Wei and said, “Do you see it now? This is the daughter I want. She’s obedient, quiet, and talented. With a little cultivation, she will surely achieve great things.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Wei struggled up from the ground, her eyes filled with resentment. “Because she’s obedient, that’s why you like her? You don’t want a daughter; you just want a puppet to control!”
Feng Mo’s patience was exhausted. The little sympathy she felt earlier dissipated upon seeing Lin He. Now, she was distant and cold. “What kind of daughter I want has nothing to do with you anymore. Leave my house now, or I will call the police immediately. Then you can explain your debt to them.” “Fine, I’ll leave. You’re ruthless! But 1 won’t let her off.” Feng Wei said, glancing jealously in the direction of her former room.
That used to be her room. What right did that woman, who knows where she came from, have to take over her territory?
“Butler, see her out.” Feng Mo gave her a final ultimatum.
Feng Wei, filled with hatred, wiped away her tears and limped out of the Feng family home.
On the way home, she felt so cold that her body went numb. She shivered in the taxi, and even the driver noticed, asking if she needed to go to the hospital.
Feng Wei shook her head and refused. Upon arriving home, she found that it was a real estate agent who had come to see the house.
Ignoring everything, she rushed up, acting like a madwoman, smashing the paper and pens in the person’s hand, and grabbing their collar, forcing them out of her home.
The agent, angered by her behavior, thought she was a lunatic and pushed her to the ground. “What are you doing? How did you get in here? Get out, don’t disturb me while I’m working!”
Feng Wei’s knees were bruised, and she winced in pain.. But she struggled to stand up from the ground, saying, “This is my home, and you’re the one who should leave!”
