Chapter 259: Mom, You’ve Really Disappointed Me

Ning Xueling stood up and wanted to hug Luo Jianing, but upon seeing her two sons’ disdainful looks and recalling her mother-in-law’s earlier words and her own family’s attitude, she quietly sat back down.

She said to Luo Jianing, “Jianing, what are you saying? They’ve cared for you all these years.”

Luo Jianing, with red eyes, responded, “They cared for the Luo family’s daughter, not me as a person. Over the years, I’ve at least called them Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, Little Uncle, Little Aunt, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, and Sister.

But now, when something goes wrong, this is how they treat me. Even if my biological parents did something wrong, I’m innocent. What does it have to do with me? Why can’t you accept just one small person like me? Why must you send me back to the countryside?”

Grandma Luo angrily said, “Because your biological parents are enemies of our Luo family. Because you took the identity of our granddaughter and enjoyed fifteen years of her pampering.

Because of you, your biological parents harbored ill intentions, causing my own granddaughter to suffer so much. What right do you have to shout at us and say we’re cold-blooded?

This is the result of raising you for over ten years. You lack a grateful heart and are still stirring trouble. Just because Ning Xueling’s mind isn’t clear doesn’t mean we’re all at fault.

Let me remind you, you’re standing in the Luo family’s house. How dare you be so presumptuous here?”

Looking around at the room full of people, none of whom spoke up for her, Luo Jianing angrily said, “You’re bullying me.”

After saying this, she turned and went upstairs. Ning Xueling, seeing Jianing run upstairs, felt some pity and turned her head to look up the stairs, just as her third son, Luo Siyan, said, “Mom, I hope you can face this situation properly.

This isn’t like when we were kids, where Jianing would just be upset, and you could cheer her up. It’s not about us enduring some hardship just to make her happy. This is about someone plotting against you, and you’re still cherishing their daughter.”

If you want to keep my sister from coming back and not want my sister to be close to you or see you as family, then you keep coddling her and let her stay. Or if you can’t stand how we’re treating her, you can leave this family.”

Ning Xueling’s eyes filled with tears: “Siyan, how can you speak to your mother like this?”

Luo Siyan sneered: “Have I said anything wrong? Don’t you remember how you’ve treated us all these years for Jianing’s sake? Now that you know she’s not your biological daughter, haven’t you ever regretted it?

Her biological parents plotted for her to have a good life. They sold my sister once and now they want to sell her again. Don’t you have any heart?

You don’t feel pain for your own biological daughter, but you feel sorry for the daughter of your enemy. Mom, you’ve really disappointed me.”

Ning Xueling didn’t expect her third son to be so resentful. No wonder he came home less often after joining the army, he had been harboring grievances against her as a mother.

Turning to her fourth son, she heard Luo Siyuan say: “I share the same view as my third brother. I’m puzzled by your behavior, Mom. You haven’t asked a single question about Jianing since we came in, yet you’re thinking about keeping her. Have you considered how our sister feels?

You haven’t. Your heart and eyes are only on the daughter of your enemy. Mom, you’ve really let me down.”

At this point, Ning’s eldest brother, Ning Hongda, said: “Xueling, I know you’ve raised Jianing with affection since she was a child, but now the facts are clear. Her biological parents plotted against you, Jianing is innocent, but Luo Qiao is even more so.

Your big brother hopes that you’ll stop being naive. All these years, you’ve always favored Jianing over everyone else, and it seems it was all for nothing. All these children have suffered for Jianing, and now what are you doing?

I hope you won’t make stupid decisions. Since the situation is as it is, everyone should return to their rightful place. Do you know how much your daughter has suffered outside?”

Ning Xueling’s eldest sister-in-law, Zhang Yuehua, said: “Xueling, don’t be foolish. I know you have feelings for Jianing, but don’t forget that ^[1]“you can’t have both fish and bear paws” is a Chinese proverb (鱼与熊掌不可兼得), which means that in life, you can’t have everything at once, especially when two … Continue readingyou can’t have both fish and bear paws.”
