"If you’re trying to get me to return to France with you, I can tell you right now that I won’t."
She didn’t return to the Xia Family back then, and she wouldn’t return to the Situ family now.
When she needed them, they were nowhere to be found. Now that she had everything, they had all shown up.
This made Yun Zijin feel as if the suffering she endured for the first twenty years of her life was some kind of joke.
"Zijin, I know what I did back then was wrong, but please try to understand your mother. I was only twenty at the time!"
She had been spoiled by her family growing up. It was only natural that she would panic after suddenly having a child when she knew nothing about the world. Her actions, in that light, were understandable, weren’t they?
"Then did I deserve to suffer for twenty years? If you didn’t want to raise me, you shouldn’t have given birth to me in the first place.
You gave birth to me but didn’t raise me. What right do you have now to ask me to go back to France with you?
Even though you’re French, I’m from Hua Country. When you abandoned me at the orphanage gates, you committed the crime of abandonment. Tell me..."
Situ Yunliang looked up, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at Yun Zijin.
’She... she’s actually thinking of taking me to court?’
Even though she had French citizenship, committing a crime in Hua Country still carried a price.
"Yun Zijin, she’s your mother!"
Situ Wenze had walked over at some point, just in time to hear Yun Zijin’s words, "crime of abandonment." He couldn’t take it anymore and immediately rebuked her.
"Oh, a mother who threw me at an orphanage’s gates on the day I was born."
Yun Zijin’s face was devoid of expression as she spoke, her tone flat, yet her words made Situ Yunliang feel as if she had been plunged into an ice cellar.
Situ Wenze wanted to say something to refute Yun Zijin, but he struggled for a long moment, unable to find the words to argue.
Because... it was the truth.
"Alright, since Zijin has already made her choice, I think we should respect her decision. Mr. Situ, and you, Miss Situ, what do you think?"
Even the bystanders found the situation outrageous, to say nothing of Yun Zijin, who had experienced it all firsthand.
In this whole affair, Yun Zijin was the most innocent party. No matter what decision she made, Situ Yunliang, her biological mother, was the one with the least right to speak.
"If you came here today just to say all this, then I’d advise you not to waste your time."
No matter how heart-wrenchingly Situ Yunliang cried, Yun Zijin’s resolve did not waver.
"Fine! Since you’ve made your decision, so be it. I hope you won’t regret today’s choice in the future."
After being repeatedly rejected by Yun Zijin, which had also made Situ Yunliang cry several times, Situ Wenze found Yun Zijin more and more disagreeable.
So when Yun Zijin rejected them again, Situ Wenze went along with it and agreed.
He thought, ’She’s just taking advantage of my aunt’s guilt toward her, that’s why she’s being so shameless.’
’Give her the cold shoulder for a few days. Once she realizes the Situ Family doesn’t have to acknowledge her, she’ll know what choice to make.’
However, Situ Yunliang clearly didn’t think so. She tried to interrupt Situ Wenze several times, but he stopped her with a look.
Watching the silent battle of looks between the two, Yun Zijin sneered inwardly. ’Trying to achieve your goal by pretending to retreat?’
’They’re in for a disappointment, then.’
After the Situ aunt and nephew left, everyone else glanced cautiously at Yun Zijin.
They hadn’t expected Situ Wenze to speak so definitively in public.
