Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 78 - 078 Does she dare to tell the truth?

Chapter 78: 078 Does she dare to tell the truth?

Song Xiaoxiao subconsciously refused.

But Dad was adamant, forcing her to change her statement! Chen Xue acted the good person, getting involved and saying a lot.

After several twists and turns, she reluctantly came to understand a fact— her own mother was actually someone else?

This blow was like a bolt from the blue.

Dad had taught her independence from a young age, telling her not to cling to her mother, and everyone thought he was truly nurturing her. In reality... Dad just didn’t want her to be too close to her mother.

And then there was Chen Xue...

She always acted like she was crying, as if everyone owed her something, which Song Xiaoxiao found extremely irritating. Yet, could she really be her biological mother?

The little girl leaned against the corner of the wall, her beautiful large eyes filled with hesitation.

Dad had hidden his mistress, grandma helped cover it up, and she had wanted to tell mom the truth many times... But, Dad’s words had struck her hard.

"Xiaoxiao, do you think if you tell your mom the truth, she will thank you? No, she will only hate you for taking her daughter’s place."

"It’s Dad and Aunt Chen’s fault, Mom is understanding, how could she blame me?"

"Because you have indeed taken her daughter’s place!" Dad, who said this, was smiling very coldly, "Your mom loves charity work, her foundation has helped many abducted children return home. If one day she finds out that the daughter she has cherished and loved is not her own flesh and blood, will she let her blood relative be stranded without looking for her?

Xiaoxiao, Dad is telling you the truth not for any other reason but hoping you will have another person to cherish you. What’s the difference between calling Du Mansheng ’Mom’ and calling Aunt Chen ’Mom’? Aunt Chen will tolerate the things that Du Mansheng doesn’t allow you to do, isn’t this the mother figure you’ve always wanted? If you insist on exposing the truth, I guarantee, the first one to be driven out of the house will definitely be you!"

Song Xiaoxiao was so astonished that she couldn’t respond.

After returning home, she tried to verify by purposely mentioning in front of her mom: "If one day, mom’s daughter went missing, taken away by someone... would Mom look for her?"

Du Mansheng thought her daughter was just being affectionate, and said seriously and firmly, "Of course, you are the treasure that Mom gave birth to after carrying you for ten months! If the bad guys steal you away, how heartbroken would Mom be? Even if it’s thousands of miles, I would bring Xiaoxiao back!"

Song Xiaoxiao was extremely moved.

But not for herself...

It was for that unseen child... her mother’s own flesh and blood.

Song Xiaoxiao became scared and withdrawn, just as Dad had expected—she dared not speak the truth.

Longing to be close to her mom but fearing that they may part ways one day. That sense of guilt from taking someone else’s place made it impossible for her to enjoy her mother’s love as if it were her due right...

The complex and tangled emotions waxed and waned, causing Song Xiaoxiao to gradually become distant from her mom, no longer daring to be close to her.

Listening to the laughter and joy coming from downstairs, she shed a line of clear tears.

What should she do? What can she do in the future?

Neihai City.

The suite where Yan Yueqing lived.

Xu Li had been busy all afternoon, preparing a table full of delicious food, which the little ones devoured with great relish.

Tiantian was gnawing on a chicken leg when a staff member came over at a trot and whispered a few words to her.

The little girl exclaimed excitedly, "Aunt Yueqing, my cousin’s mom is here! She’s downstairs, can we invite her up to eat with us?"

Yan Yueqing put down her chopsticks, "Your cousin’s mom?"

Tiantian hummed, "My cousin’s mom is called Du Mansheng, she’s from city A, she came specially to see me today!"

Du Mansheng?

Yan Yueqing laughed.

She had just been thinking of how to find out about the Song family through Tiantian, and here they were, coming right to her door?
