Ling Tianya closed her eyes. The cruel reality was right in front of her. No one had forced Yu Meizi. She did it voluntarily.
“If you were not happy at the Ling Family, why didn’t you file a divorce and then be with someone else? Why did you have to run away?”
“I just wanted to leave the Ling Family quickly, and I was worried that if Ling Tao knew that I had an affair, he would kick me out without a penny. So, I had to leave secretly. At least, I got some money.”
“That was the entire reason?” Ling Tianya’s eyes taunted her. “Do you know what Tianxin and I have been through these years? I grew up listening to all kinds of berating. Because of you, I’ve been struggling all these years!”
Yu Meizi flustered. “Yaya, I know that my departure must have affected you and Tianxin. Please believe mommy, mommy loves you. Ever since then, I have lived in pain every day. But now that I see that you are married and doing well, I am finally relieved.”
“Relieved?” Ling Tianya’s eyes became harsher. “You only see me now. What about Tianxin? Do you know what Tianxin is like now? Do you know that your selfishness almost killed Tianxin? You said you loved us. Is this what you call love?”
Faced with Ling Tianya’s questioning, Yu Meizi did not know how to respond. She thought that Ling Tianya was doing very well now, so if she made an appearance now, she would forgive her. But she did not expect that she would be so emotional.
“What’s wrong with Tianxin?” Yu Meizi asked, crying.
Ling Tianya took out her phone and showed Ling Tianxin’s recent photos to Yu Meizi.
Apparently, Yu Meizi was not mentally prepared. When she saw the photos of Ling Tianxin, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the phone.
“This is Tianxin? What happened to her? When I left, she was alright!”
“When you left, Tianxin was only two years old! It has been more than 10 years! Everything is different now!”
“Why is Tianxin like this? Yaya, please tell your mother, what happened to Tianxin?” Yu Meizi was crying.
Ling Tianya looked cold and not once was about to cry. Even if Yu Meizi cried so sadly, she didn’t shed a single tear.
After hearing what had happened to Ling Tianxin, Yu Meizi sat there and seemed to be digesting the information. “The bastard Ling Tao committed such an atrocity to Tianxin!”
“It was not dad who who hurt Tianxin. It was Qu Wan and Mr. Bai. Of course, dad should take some responsibility too. But if we are talking about responsibility, weren’t you responsible too?” Ling Tianya looked at Yu Meizi coldly. “Don’t you feel guilty?”
Yu Meizi was stunned, and her eyes became empty. Suddenly, she swung her hand and slapped herself on her face. “I am not a human! I am not a human! I did this to my daughter! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!”
Yu Meizi was not holding back when she slapped her own face. With the loud noise, her yellowy face turned red and swollen.
Ling Tianya tightened her eyebrows, as sound seemed unusually harsh in her ears.
“Enough!” Ling Tianya grabbed Yu Meizi’s hand, “Stop hitting yourself…”
“Yaya…”Yu Meizi looked at Ling Tianya, and a second later she pulled her into her arms and cried. “My Yaya, please forgive your mother, forgive your mother! I really miss you.” For so many years, I think about you every second!”
Yu Meizi’s hug and her crying made Ling Tianya’s heart shake. She could no longer control the tears as they flew down from the corner of her eyes.
