Although Aunt Zhang did want to explain that she was only concerned about Ye Qing, she was still surprised when Ye Qing said those words. She was happy, but she couldn't feel happy because she instinctively felt that Ye Qing's words were not a compliment.
In fact, Ye Qing's words were not a compliment. After saying that she understood Aunt Zhang, she sneered: "You say you care about me, so I should be grateful to you, right? Don't you think about whether your so-called care will make me feel more burdened?"
Even through the phone line, Aunt Zhang could sense Ye Qing's intense indignation: "I..."
"Yes, I know you care about me, but I really don't appreciate your concern. You haven't fully recovered from your surgery yet. Shouldn't you be thinking about getting better right now? Even though I haven't been to the hospital, I know that your rehabilitation might not go well."
Even though they were separated by a telephone line, Ye Qing could still hear Zhang Sao swallowing, as if she wanted to speak.
Ye Qing didn't want to hear Zhang Sao's explanation. Perhaps Zhang Sao really had a reason, but after the surgery, she hadn't recovered well, and the doctor had said she couldn't be discharged. Yet Zhang Sao was secretly trying to run away from the hospital. This was something Ye Qing couldn't tolerate.
She's not a child anymore, she's in her fifties or sixties, how can she be so willful?
So Ye Qing still didn't give Zhang Sao any chance to explain: "If you don't do your rehabilitation properly now, you'll have trouble walking later, let alone anything else. You'll still need me and Huang Fei to take care of you then. You might say, 'I don't need you, you can manage on your own.' Hehe, what if you can't?"
Should we take care of you? We are your daughters, and it is only natural for us to take care of you, but... you know better than Huang Fei and me what's really going on between us.
We can accept taking care of you, but you can't stay like this. Or are you deliberately waiting until you're old to tell us about our origins so that we can take better care of you?
“No, I didn’t…” This time, Aunt Zhang didn’t hesitate at all and took the opportunity to say what she thought directly.
Ye Qing said many things in anger, but not all of them were. It was because many things had been bottled up in her heart for too long and she had to say them.
Although Ye Qing had already lost her temper in front of Aunt Zhang once at the hospital, she still felt it wasn't enough.
Ye Qing originally thought that Aunt Zhang would behave herself a lot after that incident, but now it seems that she hasn't behaved herself much.
"Yes, I didn't appear in front of Huang Fei and me thinking that someone would take care of you in your old age. But what have you done? Last time, before I was even discharged from the hospital, before my surgical incision had healed, I said a lot to you. I thought you listened, but the truth is, you didn't. I told you that Huang Fei had delayed the film crew a lot because of taking care of you, and I was still in my postpartum period. I hoped you could take good care of yourself, but what about you?"
Ye Qing repeated many things, but it was clear that they were of little use to Zhang Sao. Finally, Ye Qing sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, I won't say anything more. If I say too much, you'll think I'm too harsh and have no warmth at all. Do whatever you want."
Whether you follow the doctor's advice for rehabilitation is entirely up to you. After all, rehabilitation is a long process, and you are getting older, so it will definitely be more difficult. If you can't walk properly in the future because of incomplete rehabilitation, it's okay. You have two daughters, Huang Fei and me.
We wouldn't dare abandon you, after all, Huang Fei is an actress and a public figure. When your relationship with us was exposed, you said a lot in front of the reporters, saying everything you should and shouldn't have said. So don't worry, we'll take care of you from now on, for better or for worse. You have nothing to worry about.
Ye Qing's words were truly heart-wrenching, and Zhang Sao couldn't stop crying as she listened, though she knew Ye Qing was being sarcastic.
But these sharp, ironic remarks are what make people listen more.
Aunt Zhang listened carefully. She knew that as a mother, she wouldn't dare to have any unrealistic ideas in front of Ye Qing and Huang Fei. She really just wanted to do what she could for her two daughters.
Now that Ye Qing is in postpartum confinement, Aunt Zhang is really anxious.
But from Ye Qing's words, Aunt Zhang realized that she had actually put a lot of pressure on Ye Qing and Huang Fei.
This wasn't her original intention, but regardless, if she didn't properly recover after the surgery, she would truly become a burden to her two daughters.
Aunt Zhang said, "I know what I should do."
"You say that all the time," Ye Qing said casually, then hung up the phone.
She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her tears if she didn't hang up the phone.
Even so, tears welled up in Ye Qing's eyes. If possible, no one would want to talk to their own mother like that.
There wasn't a single word of warmth; it was almost entirely sarcasm and ridicule.
But if there were any other solution, Ye Qing would not have spoken to Zhang Sao like that.
Indeed, children should be filial to their parents, but what if the parents are terrible?
If we don't care or not care, people will say that we are terrible children, not even recognizing our own mother.
Ye Qing actually wanted to acknowledge it...
She tilted her head back, trying to force the tears back into her eyes, but things didn't go as planned. Instead of being forced back, the tears fell like beads from a broken string.
So Ye Qing decided to stop wasting her time and let the tears flow freely.
When Ye Qing made the call, Xi Yue was still eating in the dining room. Because Ye Qing was making the call in the living room, Xi Yue didn't actually hear what Ye Qing said clearly, but she could vaguely hear a little bit and knew who she was calling.
When they finished eating and went to the living room, Xi Yue found Ye Qing crying. She paused for a moment, then slowly walked over, handed Ye Qing a few tissues, and didn't say anything more.
Although Xi Yue has a biological mother and knows who her biological mother is, it's not much different for her as to have one or not, so Xi Yue can understand Ye Qing's feelings at this moment.
He clearly hated his mother to the core, yet he couldn't help but want to care for her.
Xi Yue thought Ye Qing's feelings must be this complicated right now.
When Xi Quan hired the current nanny, she said that her main job was to take care of Ye Qing during her postpartum period. So when she saw Ye Qing crying, she wanted to remind her, but because it involved Ye Qing's private affairs, she couldn't say too much as a nanny. However, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing a few times.
Although Ye Qing didn't notice the nanny's expression, Xi Yue did. She sat silently with Ye Qing for a while, then said, "Isn't it said that crying during postpartum confinement is bad?"
