"Mom, no." Tang Yue replied quickly.
Although the relationship between mother and daughter was very close in this life, Tang Yue still felt a bit embarrassed when this topic was brought up.
"Xiao Yue, I’m not joking about this," Zhang Hualian said earnestly as she gripped Tang Yue’s hand. "If I find out, I would indeed be heartless enough to break your legs."
Tang Yue looked up to meet Zhang Hualian’s serious gaze, and she suddenly remembered her previous life. At that time, because she was with Wu Xinming and didn’t get into college, she was about to get married. Zhang Hualian didn’t want her to marry into the Wu Family, so she lied to Zhang Hualian, claiming that she was already Wu Xinming’s woman.
Although she hadn’t been with Wu Xinming yet, back then, she was like a mad person. The more Zhang Hualian objected, the more it spurred her rebellious heart.
Zhang Hualian had a huge reaction when she heard about it at that time.
The two of them were like enemies, furiously confronting each other, with Zhang Hualian’s disappointed gaze and her words accusing her of not respecting herself.
Tang Yue got angry and retorted to Zhang Hualian.
She still remembered what she said to this day.
"Mom, you have the guts to scold me, but why don’t you talk about yourself? If you hadn’t been disrespectful, how could you have had me?"
This statement was met with a slap from Zhang Hualian. If Zhang Hualian did not love her, how could she have given birth to her?
Besides, Zhang Hualian had faced many disdainful glances from others for her sake before she married Tang Zhengde.
Tang Yue angrily left, and only later did she learn that because of this incident, Zhang Hualian had fallen ill for half a month and almost didn’t make it. Tang Yue knew she was wrong deep down, but was too stubborn and embarrassed to apologize.
Thinking of this, Tang Yue wished she could slap herself.
Tang Yue’s eyes gradually reddened, and she lowered her head, choking up: "I’m sorry."
"Silly girl." Seeing her red eyes, Zhang Hualian thought she had spoken too harshly and said softly, "Xiao Yue, Mom is doing this for your own good, there’s no need to apologize. I like Mo Siyu, too, and I think the Mo Family is not bad either. It’s just that, Mom..."
Zhang Hualian paused, then said, "Mom is afraid that you will be at a disadvantage."
"Mom." Tang Yue opened her arms and threw herself into Zhang Hualian’s arms. She felt that she hadn’t been good enough to her mother. From now on, she must not anger her or make her sad.
In her room, there were only the two of them, mother and daughter, a rare moment of peace and warmth.
Zhang Hualian rarely saw her daughter act so coquettishly, and she sighed, "Our Xiao Yue has grown into a young lady, old enough to be in a relationship now, and Mom is getting old too."
Zhang Hualian gently patted Tang Yue’s back, remembering how small and tender she used to be. Now, she had grown so tall and graceful.
"Mom is not old at all, you’re very beautiful," Tang Yue looked up and surveyed Zhang Hualian, saying, "Mom, you don’t realize how much Dad cherishes you. Besides, even among those near your age, you are more beautiful than they are."
Zhang Hualian was amused by Tang Yue’s flattery and laughed, "You’re always so sweet-talking."
"Mom." Tang Yue hesitated, then said, "It was hard on you when you gave birth to me."
Zhang Hualian’s smile paused as she looked at Tang Yue sentimentally, seeing her careful not to hurt her feelings, which touched her heart deeply. She sighed, "It’s all in the past."
