Chapter 1728: Chapter 1729: Thankfully, Someone Was There for Her
"I havenât calculated it on myself. What I hate about myself is that my biological daughter was right in front of me, yet I didnât recognize her. I liked her, but still let an imposter bully her. Not only that, but I also made you give her a hard time, causing her to give up the career she loved and forcing her to work behind the scenes. And that wasnât the end of itâChu Tian had someone kidnap her, and she almost lost her life. In the end, I didnât stand up for her, I just assumed it was all Chu Tianâs fault, and still ended up protecting Chu Xi."
"At that time, I wasnât unaware of how much Chu Xi had to do with it, but out of selfishness, I protected Chu Xiâapologizing to her on one hand, while protecting the perpetrator on the other. Back then, Duidui was very disappointed in me, didnât even want to talk to me. If Duidui was like that, you can imagine how disappointed Yanâer was in me at that time. She must have thought that my affection for her was nothing more than that... even though she didnât know I was her mother, she respected me as if I were a familiar elder, yet I repeatedly failed her. Even that day when she came to our home for dinner, and you told me Chu Xi was making things difficult for her by using the Chu Familyâs connections to suppress her, I only planned to give Chu Xi a little lesson, but never really thought of doing anything serious to Chu Xi..."
Qin Jun couldnât listen anymore and interrupted her to defend her, "Because back then you didnât know Chu Xi was an imposter. Aunt, you had been searching for Xixi for twenty years and always felt guilty towards her. Itâs quite understandable that you didnât want to really do anything to Chu Xi. Rong Yan can understand that. If she couldnât understand, she wouldnât have come to our home for dinner, and she wouldnât choose to leave things unsaid in the end. She just didnât want to make things difficult for you."
Jiang Chenyue felt even more distressed, as if a hand was squeezing her internal organs tightly, crushing them into pieces. She shook her head wearily, looking at Qin Jun who didnât understand, and said softly, "Little Jun, I wish she werenât so understanding! She was too understanding. Even growing up in a place like the Rong Family, she turned out better than everyone, and I am too embarrassed to face her."
"How can I have the face to find her, to run in front of her and tell her I am her mother?" She was extremely agitated yet suppressing it insanely, and there seemed to be watery light in her eyes. That kind of heart-wrenching calmness made her sadness more palpable than hysteria, "...I donât deserve it."
How could she have the right to appear in front of Yanâer again, and tell her the truth? She really didnât have the face to say it, especially to the child she had wronged, whom she swore never to let suffer once she found her. How could she have the face to acknowledge it?
"From the first moment I saw her, I thought how could there be such an adorable child. Duidui is adorable, and she inexplicably makes people feel comfortable. Actually, Heaven already took pity on me back then, giving me hints, yet I didnât grasp them, and was led astray and deceived. In the end, to protect a fraud, I let down that child. If Li Shengxiao hadnât decisively announced the marriage to prevent further disturbance by that fraud, I donât even know if Iâd eventually stand on her side."
Just arguing and acting spoiled wouldnât have worked for Chu Xi; what if she resorted to a suicide drama to threaten her?
Jiang Chenyue truly felt unsure what frightening decisions she might have made.
"No one stood by her side since she was youngâthe adoptive parents who deceived her didnât, nor did her biological mother, and in the end, the only one beside her was a man who liked her. Luckily, there was at least someone willing to stand by her side; otherwise, I would feel even more guilty and blame myself for the rest of my life."
