Chapter 912: Two Consecutive Nights
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Every time Gu Shan heard such words from her, his anger would dissipate. He would pinch little Gu Zi’s cheeks and secretly apologize, “Wife, our daughter is on your side. It seems I’ve truly been in the wrong. I’ll make sure to yield to you more; you’ve worked hard managing this family.” freewebnøvel.coɱ
Those memories felt distant, so far back that Zhang Mei often refused to dwell on them. They were memories she could never return to, for her true daughter was Lin Miao. She felt a deep sense of guilt toward Lin Miao and yearned to give her complete maternal love. For Gu Zi, she could only choose to forget.
What surprised her most was that the person who ultimately understood her the best was that former foster daughter. A whirlwind of emotions swirled within her, and she felt a twinge of discomfort as she looked at Lin Miao, wondering if she had truly been wrong in her treatment of Gu Zi.
Lin Miao noticed the change in Zhang Mei’s gaze and felt a jolt of realization wash over her. She quickly recognized that she had reacted too strongly.
Softening her tone, she said, “Mom, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I don’t want to live with you; it’s just that we were once a happy family. Why must we escalate things to divorce? Doesn’t that play right into Gu Zi’s hands?
“Mom, really think about it. Is divorce truly what you want? If you go through with it, my life in the Gong family will only become more difficult, and you probably won’t fare much better either. Have you considered where you’d go? Back to your family? Will they always be willing to take you back? If Dad turns against us and sides with Gu Zi, we won’t have anyone to protect us anymore!
“Mom, I’ve suffered for over ten years. Now that I’m finally back with you, I’m genuinely scared that this family will fall apart…”
That last statement struck a nerve for Zhang Mei. She always felt she owed Lin Miao something, and she believed this appeal would resonate. Indeed, it pierced through Zhang Mei’s heart, making her acknowledge Lin Miao’s perspective.
If their family fell apart, what would happen to Lin Miao? Even if Lin Miao chose to side with Gu Shan, if he remarried and had a stepmother, her daughter would undoubtedly suffer even more!
