Chapter 1247: Feelings Could Be Nurtured Slowly
âNo matter what decision you make, Mom can understand you.â
âMadam Bai...â Qiao Anxin looked like she was about to burst into tears. âI-Iâm really not dreaming? Are you really my mother?â
âItâs true.â
Madam Bai still didnât like Qiao Anxin.
But she couldnât bear to see her daughter cry like this.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and gently pulled Qiao Anxin into her arms. She said in a gentle voice, âAs long as youâre willing to acknowledge me, of course, Iâm your mother. Anxin, donât cry. Itâs Mom who let you down and couldnât find you sooner. Are you willing to give Mom a chance to make it up to you?
âCan you come home with Mom? Your dad, your brother, and I will treat you well in the future.â
Qiao Anxin fell into her arms and cried even harder.
She couldnât stop sobbing.
Madam Bai couldnât bear to see her like this.
She thought that it didnât matter even if she didnât like Qiao Anxin now.
Feelings could be nurtured slowly.
She could slowly correct her flaws in the future.
She couldnât reject this daughter just because she didnât like her.
Even if Qiao Anxin was a beggar now.
Did she not want it?
It was already a blessing that her Little Seven could live until now.
She shouldnât ask for too much.
At the thought of this, Madam Bai calmed down and wasnât as against Qiao Anxin as before.
She really liked Qiao Mianmian.
But they werenât fated to be mother and daughter anymore.
But Qiao Anxin and Qiao Mianmian were sisters now. She recognized Qiao Anxin, and in fact, she had a mother-daughter relationship with Qiao Mianmian.
Madam Bai felt better after comforting herself.
âI, I...â Qiao Anxinâs heart was full of thoughts, but she pretended to be hesitant. âBut if I return to the Bai family, my adoptive parents will definitely be upset.
âThey raised me, I canât... I canât abandon them.â
Because of Qiao Anxinâs words, Madam Baiâs impression of her changed a lot.
She liked filial children.
Madam Bai was even more impressed that Qiao Anxin still remembered her adoptive parents.
âOf course, I donât want you to abandon them. Your adoptive parents raised you up. If you abandon them, youâll be so heartless. Anxin, even if we acknowledge each other, theyâll still be your parents.
âIf we let you return to the Bai family, wouldnât we be asking you to abandon your previous home? In the future, be it the Qiao family or the Bai family, they will be your family. Our family has to thank your adoptive parents. They have done you and us a huge favor.
âIf youâre willing, youâll have two families in the future.
âIf youâre unwilling...â
Before Madam Bai could finish her sentence, Qiao Anxin looked up with her red and swollen eyes and said longingly, âIâm willing. Iâve missed you for more than 10 years. Iâve always wanted to find my biological parents.â
