Lin Xuemei wanted to go forward and hug her, but Bei Yutang took a step back to avoid her touch.
Lin Xuemei's expression froze slightly, and her smile became forced. "Yutang, are you blaming me for not coming to see you for so long? I wanted to, but the Bei family's house is so big, I can't get in. Yutang, my daughter, I miss you so much."
As he said this, he began to cry.
Lin Xuemei cried and said, "Yutang, Mommy misses you. I've been waiting for your call. I didn't even dare to turn off my phone for fear of missing you. Oh, and this is your favorite crystal cake."
As she spoke, she took out a boxed pastry from her bag and handed it to her in a flattering manner.
Bei Yutang looked at her indifferently, neither taking over nor speaking, just looking at her quietly.
She wanted to see how far she would go!
Seeing that she didn't take it, Lin Xuemei looked gloomy and silently retracted her smile, but soon she smiled again. To outsiders, that smile seemed so forced, as if she was trying to please him in a humble way.
The people around looked at the glamorous Bei Yutang and the tattered Lin Xuemei. The difference between the two was obvious at a glance. She didn't need to say much, as the audience could imagine endless plots in their minds.
"Oh, does it mean that after entering the Bei family and becoming the eldest daughter, I no longer need the mother who raised me for nineteen years?"
"Huh, I never thought she was this kind of person."
"How cold-blooded."
…………
Bei Yutang looked indifferently at the woman in front of him who was crying softly, ignoring the pointing and talking of the people around him.
"Have you cried enough?" Bei Yutang's words brought a brief silence to the entire audience.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuemei quickly wiped the tears from her face, then smiled and said, "Mom is just too happy. It's been a long time since I saw you, so that's why I'm so happy. Yutang, don't blame Mom."
Such a tone, such an expression.
It had never appeared once in the original owner's 19 years of memory.
Lin Xuemei always had a cold face towards her. In front of outsiders, she was a good mother. But whenever they were alone, she was like a different person, attacking her at the slightest provocation, and her body was always covered with bruises and wounds.
When outsiders saw this, she would smile and tell others that the child was naughty and got into a fight and got hurt.
As time went by, all the neighbors knew that the girl named Zhao Yutang, who looked quiet, was actually a restless child who liked to fight.
Since she was little, all the kids around her would gang up on her and bully her because she was a bad kid.
Bad kid, naughty... these were all labels attached to her. But who knew that, to secure school sponsorship, she diligently did her homework, even when temperatures were over 10 degrees below zero, even when her hands were frozen red and stiff, not daring to slack off for even a moment. Meanwhile, the woman who claimed to love her was having sex with a stranger in the house, shutting her out because she thought she was in the way.
Who would have known that when she was extremely hungry and stole the leftovers from the restaurant, she was often beaten and scolded by the restaurant staff and kicked out. But she still had to beg the restaurant owner with a shameless smile, just for a bite of other people's leftovers, because she didn't want to starve to death.
Who would have known that she often slept on the streets to avoid being molested by this woman's patrons?
Who knows... She lived worse than pigs and dogs for 19 years. Even though no one raised her, no one cared about her, and she went hungry, she still survived, just like the weeds on the roadside, struggling to survive.
