She gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It's not that I know I'm wrong.
They were clearly trying to force her to back down and go home.
Her feelings were complicated, and the only hope in her heart was extinguished at this moment.
All she wanted was a sincere apology.
"Lu Rong, do you really think you're wrong?"
Lu Rong frowned.
She apologized, what more do you want?
Lu Xingxing laughed sarcastically, "You just feel ashamed. Your own daughter doesn't acknowledge you, and now your status in the village has risen. You're afraid of losing face, but you don't think you're wrong."
"Back then, it was Yang Lin who forced you and made me marry someone else."
"It was Yang Lin's idea to fake illness."
"Geng Changsheng is a fool; Yang Lin is deceiving you."
"I was bullied by the Geng family for so many years; it was the Geng family's fault."
"What did you do wrong, Lu Rong? You just misjudged the person and trusted the wrong person."
That's what Lu Rong thought.
"Xingxing, it was Yang Lin back then..."
She tried to argue, but Lu Xingxing interrupted her, "Lu Rong, when I was tied up, I begged you, didn't I? I begged you to wait for my eldest brother to come back, I begged you to let me go to my second brother's place."
And you tell me, "A woman's life is fine once she gets married."
"After I got married, I found out that Geng Changsheng was an idiot. I cried and begged you to take me back."
"But what about you? You won't even see me once."
Lu Rong's expression changed. "When? I didn't know you were here."
Lu Xingxing closed her eyes, tears of pain streaming down her face. "That day when I returned to my parents' home, I knelt on the ground and begged you. What did you do? Yang Lin said I was being unruly in my in-laws' house and that's why I was being taught a lesson. I was wild and that's why I slandered Geng Changsheng as a fool."
"How did you do it?"
Lu Rong's vision went black, and his body swayed violently.
She wanted Lu Xingxing to shut up.
Once the truth is revealed.
They, mother and daughter, can never go back.
Lu Xingxing scoffed; Lu Rong, as always, preferred to run away.
She laughed mockingly, "You...."
"Stars." Lu Rong stopped him.
Lu Xingxing ignored her and continued, "You completely disregarded my wishes and believed Yang Lin entirely. Even when I was dragged away by the Geng family, you didn't even glance at me. I was beaten as soon as I stepped out of the house, and Yang Lin slandered me in the courtyard, but you didn't say a word."
“I cried out in anguish outside the door. I wanted my mother to come out and save me. I wanted you to take me home. I wanted you to kick Yang Lin out.”
"But you keep saying he's your father and wouldn't harm you."
“You’ve ruined my life. You say you’re my mother, so you can treat me like I’m not human. You’re my mother, so you can decide my life and death at will. You’re my mother, so you can ignore my pain.”
Lu Rong wanted to shut Lu Xingxing up.
She had no choice back then.
If she doesn't go along with Yang Lin, he'll divorce her.
Back then, Yunqi had just gotten married, and Yunzhou hadn't yet made a name for himself. If Yang Lin had left...
What will happen to her family?
Without men in the Lu family, they'll be bullied to death.
She wanted to explain, to refute, but her throat felt like it was blocked, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Lu Rong regained his senses and saw his good friend and daughter-in-law in front of him.
She looked around, but couldn't see that familiar figure.
She closed her eyes in pain.
What a terrible thing to do.
"Rong, don't think about it anymore, just live your life well." He Xiaoman sat by her bedside and ruffled her hair. She knew about Lu Rong's heartache, but deep down, Lu Rong was both weak and stubborn.
She doesn't think she's wrong.
She might even end up in a dead end.
Lu Xingxing inherited her stubbornness.
She had endured those hardships alone, and Lu Rong wanted to reconcile with her daughter.
It's almost impossible in this lifetime.
