Think about it carefully, if you really love this daughter, how could you bear to let her live alone in this place, how could you bear to let her face strangers alone?
Moreover, this place is deep in the mountains, fraught with danger...
Both of them looked a little uneasy, and their gazes became somewhat evasive.
Yunmu spoke first, releasing her daughter's hand. "How could you think like that? You are our precious daughter. We brought you here hoping to cure your illness and spare you from that pain. Every time we see you in pain, we wish we could take your pain away. Momo, your father and I just don't want you to suffer like that anymore."
We hope that one day you can become like other children, able to go out, go to school, run freely, and embrace the sunshine.
Sometimes your father and I are selfish too; we just want you to be okay. We…”
Yunmu's gaze fell on Lin Xi, the girl with whom her daughter shared many connections. "We hope you're doing well... even if it hurts someone else, even if..."
"No." Mo Yan interrupted her, wiping away her tears. There was no need to cry now, because whether she cried or not, whether she felt wronged or not, it didn't matter. It wouldn't change their minds in any way.
Mo Yan gave a weak, bitter smile. "Mom, you just don't want a monster child. Your eyes lit up when you saw Lin Xi. You probably want a child you can take out in public, right?"
Otherwise, why have you kept me from going out all these years?
You said it's dangerous outside, but I also have times when I can go out. You're ignoring my hopes, aren't you?
"Mom, you've already decided what to do, so my thoughts don't matter, right?"
All their worries and anxieties were to cover up their truest thoughts and conceal their disdain for such a daughter.
Even if they didn't usually show this disdain, it was always buried deep in their hearts...
“MoMo…”
Having been manipulated by their own daughter, they felt flustered and even somewhat ashamed.
Yun's father interrupted Mo Yan directly, "No, we're only letting you stay for your own good. Even if we suffer eternal damnation, we want you to be more comfortable."
"Master, let's make this decision. We'll take Lin Xi with us. From now on, Lin Xi, you'll be our daughter, Mo Yan. We're so sorry to have you suffer for our daughter."
Mo Ming made a decision without hesitation. He knew that he would soon find out if he could take another step forward, and he couldn't afford to have a daughter like this at that time.
Whether or not the father will find out when he returns is not important.
The father hasn't seen his daughter for so many years because of work, so he definitely won't recognize her when he comes back. Besides, it's his own fault for not wanting to use his connections to help; you really can't blame him.
"Uncle and Aunt, please don't say that. This is my own choice."
Lin Xi's well-behaved demeanor pleased them greatly.
Of course, they wouldn't mind putting on a show of filial piety at this time.
They looked at Mo Yan, whose face was already pale, and said, "Mo Mo, your mother and I are really doing this for your own good. We are willing to be talked about by others for your sake, and we are willing to bear all the consequences, as long as you are okay."
Don't worry, we'll come to see you often. We believe you'll be very good, right?
"When you grow up and get better, we'll take you home, okay?"
They still hoped that Mo Yan would listen to them, and at that moment Hao Xuan also came over.
“Mo Yan, I will take care of you from now on. My master and I will take care of you, and you will never be in pain again. Be a good girl and we will help you.”
Mo Yan smiled broadly. Just when they thought they had persuaded her, Mo Yan looked at her parents and said, "So you're going to abandon me, right?"
After all I've said to you, you're still going to abandon me, aren't you?
The two of them looked rather unpleasant, feeling embarrassed that their thoughts had been exposed. Mo Ming even spoke up directly with a dark expression.
"What's wrong with you, child? Why can't you understand what we're saying? We've already told you, if you come home with us, you'll be in a lot of pain, you'll be rolling around in pain like before, your face will be covered in bumps, and everyone will laugh at you."
We're doing this for your own good, hoping you'll be well in the future and that you won't have to suffer anymore.
Seeing her daughter like this, Yunmu couldn't stop crying. Her heart ached too. If there had been any other way, she wouldn't have made such a desperate choice.
She held her daughter's hand, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't know how to explain it to her daughter.
How could she explain that her husband's job was about to change and that they couldn't have a daughter who was like a monster? How could she explain that she had told herself countless times that she couldn't despise her daughter, yet in the end, she still couldn't help but care?
What could she say? She was afraid of other people's stares, afraid of being asked, "Why hasn't your daughter come out yet?"
She was afraid people would ask, "What's wrong with your daughter?"
She was afraid of their gazes, afraid of their whispers behind her back.
She was even more afraid of seeing her daughter in pain. Her daughter was in so much pain, and she could only watch helplessly. Call her selfish or unreasonable, it didn't matter. She just wanted to find a way for neither of them to be sad or to see each other suffer.
Here, their daughter will be safe, and they don't have a monster daughter. Isn't that better? It's better for everyone!
Thinking of this, she slowly loosened her grip on Mo Yan's hand, and her whole body gradually relaxed.
"Momo, you're a good child. Mom believes you can understand Mom and Dad, right?"
Understand? How do you understand?
“You despise me, yet you say nice things; you want to leave me here to fend for myself, yet you say it's for my own good; don't think you're so great when you do things that cause trouble.”
If you think I'm embarrassing, why don't you just say so? Why do you have to find a reason to do what's best for me? Don't you find that ridiculous?
No wonder you've kept me from going to school all these years. You were thinking back then that as long as no one has seen me, anyone could become Mo Yan. Does that mean I'll have to change my name too, and become Lin Xi?
Both of their faces turned completely dark. Mo Ming even slapped her, but Mo Yan turned around and dodged it, and the slap landed on Yun Mu.
Mo Ming, his face dark with anger, looked at Mo Yan and said, "We are your parents. Just listen to what we say. Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you, and no one wants you to die. Just be a good boy and listen to us."
"Honey, Lin Xi, let's go!"
Mo Ming didn't even want to say anything to Mo Yan anymore. After the facade was broken, there was no need for pretense anymore.
