After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

For a moment, the air froze, as if a pause button had been pressed, and no sound could be heard on this floor.

Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat. She leaned closer to Qin Ce subconsciously, always feeling that a war would break out in the next second.

Lily stared intently at the woman at the door. The blood on her face instantly faded, replaced by a pale white face.

As if her acupuncture points had been tapped, she froze in place and did not recover for a long time.

"Lili..." The woman shouted nervously, breaking the silence.

Lily's pupils finally regained focus, and she mechanically turned her head to look at Wang Ye. Wang Ye still had a smile on his face, as if he was asking for credit from her.

"What do you mean?" Lily said hoarsely, her voice trembling as if she was suppressing some emotion.

Wang Ye smiled innocently and pointed at the woman at the door, "Don't you know her? Is this your mother?"

"I'm not blind yet!" Lily suddenly raised her voice, which made Wang Ye's smile freeze. He looked at Lily blankly.

"What...are you doing?"

Lily gradually lost control of her emotions. She pointed back at the woman, "Who asked you to bring her here on your own?! Did you get my consent? Do you think you are doing this is particularly great? Do you think I will treat you? Weeping with gratitude?"

"No, I just..."

Before Wang Ye finished speaking, Lily interrupted him again, "Who are you! You are nothing. Why are you pretending to be so affectionate? Do you think I will thank you after taking her over? You are so pretentious! You Why don’t you care so much about your mother?”

Wang Ye became a little angry when he heard this. He suppressed his anger and said, "Why are you yelling? Open your eyes and see clearly. This is your mother, your biological mother! The biological mother who gave birth to you in ten months' pregnancy?"

"What about your biological mother? That has nothing to do with you. Who allowed you to take her over? You are so filial, then just accept her as your mother!"

Wang Ye was completely stunned. He thought that although Lily resisted going home, she at least still had feelings for his mother. Even if she didn't like her, she wouldn't go crazy here directly in front of the old man.

Now Lily's face was red, and her whole body was in a state of madness, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She desperately showed her claws and looked fierce, trying to break free from the shackles on her body.

"Lily, why are you like this?" Wang Ye looked at Lily in disbelief, "She is your mother. You can stand here now because she bought eggs and sold corn, and gave you a little bit of the money she secretly saved. Studying, after so many years of studying, have you learned how to disown your relatives?"

Lily smiled, but her smile was to hide the tears in her eyes.

"I don't recognize my relatives? Ever since I was a child, have they ever cared about me? Have they ever treated me as their daughter? I am standing here because I strive for my own success and work hard. She is just going along with the flow. If I didn't take the exam back then, Going to a key high school, do you think I can stand here with the money she earns from selling eggs?"

"All my tuition fees in junior high school and high school were all funded by grants and scholarships. The little money she had was not enough to buy Hu Jun a toy!"

"I'm laughing so hard. You want to kidnap me just by saying "My mother". They are so good to Hu Jun, why are they still looking for me? Aren't they supposed to be enjoying themselves in Hu Jun's big villa? "

Wang Ye was silenced by Lily. He stood there helplessly and looked at the guilty and self-reproaching woman. If he had known better, he would not have brought Lily over so hastily.

With this move, he hurt two people.

The woman's name is Zhou Lan. She is an authentic rural woman. Like Lili when she was a child, her family had five or six children and could not afford to raise so many. Girls had no chance to study.

She doesn't know a word of Chinese characters because she injured her leg while working when she was a child. Her legs and feet are not good and she cannot get married even if she is over 25 years old.

Later, I met Hu Mazi, who had been in prison and couldn't get a wife. One of them couldn't get married, and the other couldn't find a wife. So he was paired up by two families.

Although Zhou Lan couldn't understand Lily's words, she could tell most of it from her tone.

She walked tremblingly in front of Lily, raised her head humbly, looked at Lily, and choked with sobs: "Lili, it's my mother who can't breathe, I'm sorry for you."

"Mom can't read and can't make money. After listening to your father's words all my life, I know that girls who don't know how to read will suffer. Mom doesn't want you to follow my old path. I also want you to study, but Mom doesn't You have to be capable..."

She almost cried out the last sentence, shouting out her bitterness and helplessness for so many years.

She almost tried every means she could to get Lily to study. It was not that she had not tried hard, she had already tried her best.

Lily couldn't help but shed tears. She turned her head away from Zhou Lan's face, her chest heaved violently, and she couldn't help crying.

When she saw Qin Ce's expressionless face, the embarrassment, shame, and shame all rushed up to her. She wished she could find a hole to crawl in and disappear from this world.

Lily just stood here, her bright coats were forcefully lifted off by Wang Ye, exposing her worst, ugliest, and most shameful side to the sun.

Her self-esteem had been hit like never before. The hard and unyielding days in the mountains when she was a child had never been as gloomy as they were now.

At this moment, her whole world was dark, and all the past events were like punishments from the gods. Like a mirror looking into a demon, her embarrassment had nowhere to hide.

The scene was deadlocked. Wang Ye didn't know where to break through. He looked at Qiao Xing as if asking for help.

Qiao Xing twitched her lips, walked up to Lily, and said, "Lily, this is not a shameful thing. At least, your mother has always been concerned about you. She has her helplessness, and she has tried her best to let you go." You get out of that place.”

"There is an unbroken blood relationship between you. If you don't go back or recognize her, your past will no longer exist. It will always be there, in the deepest part of your heart, haunting you for the rest of your life. You will never be able to truly Just be yourself.”

"What you do now cannot change your past. It will only make you go further and further away, make you become more and more hypocritical, and make your life more and more tiring."

Lily stared at Qiao Xing coldly, and sneered: "What do you know? Have you experienced my life? You people always stand up and talk without hurting your back. You only blame others from the perspective of a saint. You What qualifications do you have to educate me?”

"How do you know I haven't experienced it? Yes, I may not have had as hard a time as you did when you were young, but when I was abandoned by my parents, it wouldn't be any easier than it was for you?"

"But at least, I dare to face my past, and I am willing to accept my past. If my mother can treat me like this, I will try my best to help her live a good life and escape from the place that has trapped her her whole life. , instead of resenting her for being hopeless, being indifferent to her, or even severing relations with her."
