Everything happened too fast, too fast.
Zhou Xiaoxiao stood frozen in place, holding her phone, her face looking extremely pale.
She received a good education from childhood. Her parents hoped that she would grow up to be an upright person. After all, the environment her parents created for her would allow her to be a kind person and not be bullied in the future.
You can be cunning, but you can't intentionally harm others. If you do, you'll definitely suffer the consequences. These were Shen Yunong's exact words to her.
It felt like two people were fighting inside Zhou Xiaoxiao's heart. She didn't know which path to choose. She wasn't intentionally trying to harm anyone; she just saw someone being kidnapped and didn't know whether she should intervene.
However, that person was very close to her; he was her older sister.
But her older sister had never had any positive influence on her from childhood to adulthood. The two of them did not live in the same environment and rarely spoke to each other. What difference was there between her and a stranger to her sister?
Zhou Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and finally threw the question to her mother.
She didn't know what to choose, but surely Shen Yunong knew—that was her own daughter.
Shen Yunong hasn't been having a good time lately.
She kept subtly probing her husband about when he was going to make his move.
Zhou Yunfeng, on the other hand, was no longer in a hurry.
He discovered that Wei Jingshen was becoming increasingly rampant, and recently he had even started to mobilize other groups to attack his group.
The Zhou family is not to be trifled with. Zhou Yunfeng fought back fiercely, and the two were destined to confront each other. In that case, Zhou Yunfeng would definitely not show him any mercy.
Zhou Yunfeng had originally considered that the two sides could shake hands and make peace, which might have been the best option.
But if someone doesn't even give him that choice, then there's no need for him to say anything more.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's return to China did not cause him any shock. At present, this daughter is of no use to him, at least not at this moment.
He can love this daughter dearly and treat her as his own flesh and blood, but when it comes to crucial business matters, he certainly can't take care of her anymore.
Anyway, Zhou Xiaoxiao has her own mother, so let Shen Yunong take care of it.
If a housewife can't even raise her own children properly, how dare she take so much money from him?
Shen Yunong was forced to cut off all social activities and stay at home to take care of Zhou Xiaoxiao. As for why Zhou Xiaoxiao went to the hospital, she only said that it was because of the travel between the two countries and the change in environment that caused this result.
Zhou Xiaoxiao ran away without permission, which already made Shen Yunong very angry. When she heard what Zhou Xiaoxiao said, she immediately froze.
"Mom, what should I do? I just saw Jiang Tian smother me until I was unconscious and put me in the car. Should I call the police? But I don't want to call the police, I, I..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.
Jiang Tian stole her future husband, ruined her life, and she is still not fully recovered.
To Zhou Xiaoxiao, this person was like a jinx, and she felt no sympathy for her plight.
"Did you see them get her into the car with your own eyes?"
Shen Yunong gripped her phone tightly and asked seriously.
Zhou Xiaoxiao's voice also carried a hint of nervousness.
From a young age, she was taught to be someone who had the courage to face the evils of the world and to help others whenever possible.
Making good connections with others certainly has its benefits, but these benefits are gradual and may not be fully realized for decades.
But this time, she chose to stand idly by and watch someone die without offering any help.
That's why she shifted the blame onto her mother.
She told others, and whether or not they went to rescue her was none of her business.
Zhou Xiaoxiao is essentially a selfish person.
The blood flowing in her veins is that of Shen Yunong and Jiang Yubai, and she may have inherited their selfishness as well.
As someone in the know, Shen Yunong naturally knew what her eldest daughter was about to face.
She was trembling all over.
Didn't she already ask that detective to warn her?
Didn't Jiang Tian know to tell Wei Jingshen about this?
With so much money, is it really that difficult for Wei Jingshen to hire a few bodyguards to protect her?
Now that things have come to this, Shen Yunong's heart is burning like fire.
She also didn't know what to choose; on one side was wealth and status, on the other was her eldest daughter.
That's a woman's reputation. Even though society is more open now, most people would still sympathize with such a woman. But if she could avoid this risk and not do it, would she be a qualified mother?
"Mom, what should we do?"
When the other person didn't speak, Zhou Xiaoxiao became a little anxious.
Shen Yunong took a deep breath and told her, pretending to be calm, "You don't need to worry about this anymore. Just go back to the hospital and pretend you never went to see her, okay?"
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao just wanted someone to give her an order so that she could shift the inexplicable sense of guilt she felt.
Shen Yunong's words immediately received a response from her: "Okay, I'll go back right away, but... what are you going to do about that person?"
"This is our business, you don't need to worry about it. You just need to take care of your health now."
Shen Yunong's tone suddenly softened: "Xiaoxiao, you're the only daughter I care about, and I certainly wouldn't want you to suffer any injustice. I know you're afraid of taking responsibility, so you don't need to worry about this. You've told me about this, and I've felt your kindness. What you do from now on is none of your business. If that person really endured everything, that's her fate; she's just unlucky."
Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She didn't know why she felt such complicated emotions. In the end, she followed her heart and took a taxi back to the hospital, pretending that she had never been at that university.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yunong sat there, stunned for a long time.
She had lived in this villa for a long time and enjoyed years of life as a wealthy lady.
When she becomes accustomed to all wealth and luxury, she will only find life very mundane.
People in their forties have seen everything they should have done, seen everything they should have seen, and even seen the whole world.
She no longer had any particularly great ambitions; she simply wanted to protect everything in front of her and prevent it from being taken over by other women.
However, this time, she still tidied herself up and went out.
There was no way around it; she was not only Zhou Xiaoxiao's mother, but also someone else's mother.
Even though she was beaten and scolded when she was a child, the blood ties between the two could not be severed.
If Jiang Tianzhen had truly suffered all of this, could Shen Yunong, as a mother, really choose to ignore it? It would be very difficult.
During her ten months of pregnancy, the child slowly grew inside her, and she was able to sense everything.
It's impossible to say that you have absolutely no feelings for her.
