"You're not allowed to say 'thank you' anymore, and you can't address me as 'you' anymore, do you hear me? We're mother and daughter, why are we being so distant?"
The girl smiled gently: "No matter what we call each other, we're still mother and daughter. There's no need to be so formal. Does my mother disown me just because I say thank you after taking care of her?"
"Oh dear, how could your mother bear to disown you? My good daughter, how can you make my heart ache?" Nan's mother was so pleased with her that she hugged Tongsu. "Once you're healed, I'll take you shopping and buy you a room full of clothes and jewelry! It's not convenient to go out now, so I'll have someone come to our house and deliver the latest haute couture catalog. You can take your time choosing."
"Mom, you're so good..."
"Oh my, my little darling, how can you be so well-behaved? My heart is melting!"
On one side, a mother and daughter shared a tender moment; on the other, Nan Weixia's eyes were wide open like copper bells, her face taut, and a roar echoed in her heart.
What kind of magic potion did Nan Yao use on her mother to make her so happy?!
Also, the repeated use of "biological mother and daughter" in her speech, what does "mother" mean?
Whose face is she slapping?
Is she saying that because she's not her biological daughter, she doesn't deserve to be treated well?
During those two years, he had sown discord, framed, and smeared Nan Yao, making her despise him to death. Why is she now doting on Nan Yao so much?!
Nan Weixia clenched her fists tightly, her gaze fixed intently on the mother and daughter enjoying their time together. She could vaguely sense the prying eyes of the servants.
The servants of the Nan family wouldn't openly flatter the powerful and belittle the weak, but they all knew that Nan Yao was the Nan family's biological daughter, while Nan Weixia was not related by blood.
Previously, the husband and wife doted on Nan Weixia more, so they naturally tried to please her more. But now it's clear that Nan Yao has regained favor. Who doesn't understand who should be the one to please?
Nan Weixia gritted her teeth, stomped heavily on the ground, and pretended to have just come downstairs. She walked over with a smile and said softly, "What are you talking about, sister? Isn't this home? Do you have some other home?"
Her words were utterly malicious—
Before Nan Yao's accident, she was yelling at her parents, "It's no fun staying here. I'd rather go back to the orphanage. That's more like my home!" This almost made her parents sick.
Nan's mother frowned subconsciously and opened her mouth to try to change the subject, but Tong Su smiled first, lowered her head somewhat shyly, and spoke obediently.
"I'm talking about the orphanage I used to live in... You all say I have amnesia, and it's true that in my memory, it seems like I was living there just a few days ago... Mom, although I didn't go home, I didn't actually suffer much. The director took good care of us!"
Nan's mother reluctantly replied, "Is that so?"
"yes."
The girl seemed oblivious to her displeasure, smiling sweetly and recalling:
“We all call the orphanage ‘home’ because it feels like we have something to care about. After all, we children are all grown up now and we have to take care of our younger siblings. We’re like a family.”
“We can eat meat once a week. Sometimes it’s stewed pork ribs with potatoes, sometimes it’s braised pork. Tongtong likes to eat meat, so I give him mine. He always happily thanks me and then gives me the piece of candy he gets every day…”
As she spoke, she looked at Nan Weixia with a smile. For some reason, her obedient smile seemed like a provocation to Nan Weixia!
