  “She’s not a thief! She’s my mother!”


  Zhuang Nainai was at a loss. She fought and stand her ground, holding her mother.

  She could not believe and could not accept that the person who had brought her up all these years was……

  Time ticked by and Gu Deshou interrupted the impasse. “Alright, we will talk about the police and suing another day. I’m here today, with your…… mother, to bring you home.”


  Home?

  Zhuang Nainai could not process what had transpired. She shook her head indignantly and protested, “I’m not leaving, I will be wherever my mother is.”


  Li Yufeng’s eyes turned red at these words. She shook and pointed at Zhuang Nainai, “You…… you…… What an ungrateful child! Do you not know how hard it was for me to look for my daughter all these years? Every night I lie in bed and wonder if my daughter is suffering somewhere. Your father and I have been looking for you for twenty-two years, is this how you treat us?”


  Zhuang Nainai clenched her teeth and stared at her.

  The hardships in life had toughened Zhuang Nainai tremendously.

  She might be all smiles and carefree on the outside, but she rarely let her feelings show and was cool and reserved at heart.

  Truth be told, she could master no ounce of pity nor affection for Li Yufeng. She even felt a tinge of dislike towards her.

  The look on Zhuang Nainai’s face incensed Li Yufeng. She pointed to and attacked Mother Zhuang again. “I don’t blame you, because our strained relationship is all because of her! I’m getting the police now to arrest her!”


  She took out her phone and proceeded to dial.

  Zhuang Nainai panicked and let go of her mother. She rushed over and protested, “No! You can’t!”


  Li Yufeng’s chest heaved aggressively from her rage. She looked at Zhuang Nainai with dangerous eyes.

  Gu Deshou interrupted again, “Cool down, you two have the same character, stop it! Let’s compromise. Qingyan, you come home with us. Your mother will treat you well, you guys will develop better relationship after a while. As for this place……”


  Zhuang Nainai turned fiercely to Gu Deshou, adamant in her protest.

  Gu Deshou sighed. “Yufeng, it has such been a long time, let’s drop the talk of suing anyone……”


  “No way! It’s all her fault that we grew distant. I……”


  “Yufeng!” Gu Deshou let out a low growl and gave his wife a warning look. Li Yufeng shut her mouth and turned away displeased, but she no longer said anything.

  Zhuang Nainai was relieved.

  Watching the couple facing her, she knew she had no choice.

  Li Yufeng would be furious and bring her mother to court if she were to not follow them.

  She had always made good decisions. She decisively picked the optimal path for herself and her mother.

  Zhuang Nainai made a call to her good friend Lin Xi’er and asked her to temporarily take care of Mother Zhuang. She spoke a few soothing words to her mother and then left with the Gu couple.

  Looking back at the house she had lived in for twenty-two years from the window of a luxurious car, she promised herself that she would be back.

  The car rounded a bend, nobody saw the always meek Mother Zhuang push Lin Xi’er aside to run madly after the car. She chased and waved for a long time……
