Shen Jingyao gave Su Ying a cold look. "To give birth and not raise a child is to disqualify one from being a mother. This is the universally accepted value in the world."
"If a woman is unwilling, unable, or unwilling to raise a child, then she should not have one. Once she decides to have one, she must be responsible for the child. A child abandoned by his or her own mother may not want to live in this world."
Su Ying was also provoked and immediately retorted, "Ms. Shen, aren't you going too far? Everyone in this world has their own difficulties."
"It's not that some people don't want to raise their children, but rather that their circumstances don't allow it, and they have no other choice."
Shen Jingyao was furious. "Isn't what Ms. Su described exactly what I just said about giving birth to a child and then not raising it?"
"If you can't raise a child, why have one in the first place? Once you have one, you have to raise it! Do you expect someone else to raise the child you gave birth to?"
Su Ying opened her mouth, wanting to refute again.
Lin Jingyu had already sensed that something was wrong, and she hurriedly said, "Mom, Aunt Su, what are you doing? We were just joking, why are you arguing?"
In Lin Jingyu's view, one is her biological mother, and the other is Aunt Su, who has helped her a lot in her career. Both of them are very good to her.
Lin Jingyu certainly didn't want them to argue, nor did she want any of them to get hurt.
Shen Jingyao looked away. She now looked at Su Ying with eyes full of hatred. This woman was extremely vicious!
They swapped the daughters of two families and made her raise Jingyu, but then abused her own daughter.
Is there anyone in this world more vicious than this woman?
She thought she was dreaming and couldn't believe that the daughter the Lin family had raised so carefully for so many years was not their biological child.
Shen Jingyao certainly didn't blame Jing Yu.
In her view, Jingyu was innocent; she had only taken the place of the Lin family's biological daughter by a twist of fate.
Jing Yu was unaware that she had been replaced, nor did she know that she was not the Lin family's daughter.
What Shen Jingyao truly felt sorry for was her daughter, Wen Shu, who had been living away from home!
Did Lin Jingyu mediate?
Shen Jingyao naturally didn't want to embarrass Lin Jingyu, so she didn't say anything more and just picked up her cup to drink water.
As for Su Ying, although she was unhappy, she knew it was inappropriate to argue with Shen Jingyao at this time, since Shen Jingyao was Jing Yu's biological mother.
She glanced at Shen Jingyao and smiled. "Please forgive me, Ms. Shen. I got a little emotional just now. It's normal for people to have different opinions and different theories."
"If I have offended you in any way, I apologize. We only got to know each other because of Jingyu, so let's each give way for Jingyu's sake. Is that alright?"
Shen Jingyao was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled and said, "It was just a small argument because of differing opinions. It's nothing serious, don't you think?"
Shen Jingyao's attitude was very gentle, and her smile was faint. She looked very gentle and quiet, and seemed very easy to talk to.
This left Su Ying puzzled as to what Shen Jingyao meant. Could it be that Shen Jingyao simply disagreed with her on the topic of birth mother and adoptive mother?
So their argument just now wasn't because Shen Jingyao discovered something, but rather because of a small accident!
Su Ying glanced at Shen Jingyao, who was smiling and talking to Lin Jingyu. Judging from the way she spoke to Jingyu, she didn't seem like someone who knew the truth at all.
If she knew, would she still have this attitude towards Jingyu?
Thinking of this, Su Ying felt a little relieved. It was normal not to know; who would normally discover something like this?
Besides, everyone knows that Lin Jingyu looks like her, otherwise why would Jingyu call her Little Su Ying?
After the meeting, Shen Jingyao was about to leave with Lin Jingyu when Lin Jingyu pleaded with her, "Mom, you go back to Changqing Pavilion first. Aunt Su told me she had a gift for you, but she was in a hurry and forgot to bring it. She asked me to get it back for you!"
Shen Jingyao frowned and said to Lin Jingyu, "Do I really have to make you go get it from her so late? What kind of gift is so precious?"
Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "Mom, it doesn't matter if the gift is expensive or not, it's the thought that counts. Aunt Su specially prepared this gift for you, we can't let Aunt Su down."
Shen Jingyao was naturally uncomfortable; she was a mother and had deep feelings for the child she had raised.
Even though she knew Lin Jingyu wasn't her biological daughter, she couldn't just abandon her and ignore her.
Lin Jingyu wanted to go with Su Ying to get something, which made Shen Jingyao feel extremely frustrated. She felt that she had just been trying to stand up to Su Ying, but now Jingyu wanted to go home with Su Ying.
For Shen Jingyao, this was more like a show of defiance from Su Ying.
Shen Jingyao left by car. Before leaving, she glanced at Lin Jingyu through the car window. Lin Jingyu was standing outside, smiling and waving at her.
For some reason, this glance at that moment gave Shen Jingyao a sudden sense of disorientation, as if Lin Jingyu was drifting further and further away from her.
Shen Jingyao immediately stopped the driver. Lin Jingyu saw the car had already driven off but then stopped again, and hurriedly ran over, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Shen Jingyao rolled down the car window and said to Lin Jingyu, "Jingyu, don't bother getting any gifts. Mom doesn't need any. Get in the car and come back with Mom!"
Shen Jingyao knew that she was giving herself a strong suggestion at this moment. As long as Jing Yu went back with her, that was the courage, confidence, and strength that Jing Yu gave her. She was not afraid that the child she raised would be taken away by Su Ying.
Lin Jingyu had already noticed that Shen Jingyao was acting strangely. Just as she was about to speak to Shen Jingyao, Su Ying's voice came from behind her, "Jingyu, are you done yet? We're blocking the way for other vehicles!"
Lin Jingyu quickly replied, "Coming!"
Then she threw a sentence at Chen Jingyao, "Mom, I'll talk to you later!"
After saying this, Shen Jingyao hurriedly got into Su Ying's car.
Su Ying sat in the car, resting her chin on her hand through the window, and smiled as she nodded at Shen Jingyao before lightly looking away.
It has to be said that Su Ying did indeed feel a sense of victory at this moment.
It was as if she had successfully taken her daughter back.
"Aunt Su, what gift is in this box?"
Inside the Zhong family's yoga room, Lin Jingyu curiously held the box in her hand, looking at it with an innocent expression.
Su Ying said, "A pair of earrings, I hope your mother likes them."
Lin Jingyu was about to leave with the gift when Su Ying waved to her, "Jingyu, don't rush back. I like you the most. Seeing you and your mother together today made me feel especially sad."
Su Ying held Lin Jingyu's hand tightly, refusing to let go, and looked at her with loving eyes, "Jingyu, what do you think about the topic that your mother and I argued about today? Do you think your birth mother is more important, or your adoptive mother?"
