BXBX NOVEL Chapter 484
“You’re blaming grandma for making the decision on her own? After all, Lulu isn’t Shanshan’s biological mother. Speaking of which, your brother married her because Shanshan had no one to take care of her. I heard that your brother and Lulu passed away before they could even hold their wedding. It’s really pitiful for a young girl to become a widow. Now that Guo Ying wants the child back, she can set Lulu free.”
“Two days ago, your mother also told me that she didn’t introduce Lulu at the state banquet because she hoped to set her free and let her pursue the happiness that belongs to her. Grandma is just thinking for her, why doesn’t she know my good intentions?”
The old lady couldn’t help but get angry and hung up the phone.
Leng Yejin lowered his head and looked into Tong Lu’s eager eyes. He could not bear to see her like this. He raised his hand and placed his palm on her hair.”Don’t worry, Shanshan is Guo Ying’s daughter. It’s understandable that she brought the child over to spend a few days with her.”
“Excusable? Then why didn’t anyone come to take care of Shanshan when Shuo left? Instead, you need to marry an outsider like me to take care of your child? If she really loves the child, why hasn’t she appeared all these years?” Tong Lu was disappointed. She could not help but mock herself.”I understand that I didn’t give birth to Shanshan. What’s the use of me feeling sorry for her? I’m an outsider after all. What reason do I have to fight for the child?”
As Tong Lu spoke, she sniffled. She closed the door and went back to bed, sulking. She had taken care of the child for so long. The Guo family wanted to take the child away, but no one asked her if she was willing to do so.
Could it be that her words carried little weight, so her opinions were of no importance, even if the child was raised by her?
Tong Lu gritted her teeth. She felt sad. Even if she went to court to fight for the custody, she would not be able to win against Guo Ying. The more she thought about it, the more dejected she felt.
She did not know when, but she heard the sound of footsteps. She turned her head and saw a tall, dark figure coming out from the secret door of the mirror. She turned around and ignored him. Leng Yejin wanted to get on the bed, so she pulled the blanket tightly to prevent him from getting in.”Leave. I’m your sister-in-law. It’s not appropriate for you to come to my room in the middle of the night!”
Leng Yejin grunted and lay down next to her through the blanket. He tapped her on the back. “Are you angry?”
Could he not tell? He had promised her at the state banquet that he would not give Shanshan to Guo Ying. Had he fulfilled his promise now?
Tong Lu felt bitter in her heart. She did not say anything.
Leng Yejin turned her body around, but she refused to do so. She lifted her leg and kicked him through the blanket. Leng Yejin frowned and flipped her over with the blanket.”It’s just for a while. Don’t worry, you raised the child. No one can take him away.”
“No one really can take it away? This time, we’re just getting along for a while. Is the next step for me to completely give up Shanshan’s custody and completely cut off my mother-daughter relationship with Shanshan?”
He thought about what Guo Ying had said today. He was the one who had asked her to give birth to the child. What was their relationship in the past? He loved Shanshan. Was it because she was his late husband’s daughter or because she was Guo Ying’s daughter?
She felt like a fool who couldn’t figure out the situation. She felt a deep sense of crisis in her heart. She was so sour that she felt like she had knocked over a bottle of five flavors. She didn’t know if she was being jealous, but she felt unusually irritated.
