Shu Yuqing stood in front of Yan Ling, carefully examining the person in front of her who affectionately called her Aunt Shu.
Yanling, seemingly oblivious to Shu Yuqing's scrutiny, greeted her calmly: "Aunt Shu, long time no see."
Although Yan Ling smiled kindly, Shu Yuqing wasn't buying it. She could see the hypocrisy and scheming in his smile.
"Let's go, let's find a place to sit down."
Shu Yuqing walked in front, followed by two strong bodyguards.
Yanling had not yet fully adapted to the prosthesis and was walking with difficulty.
Shu Yuqing walked into a viewing pavilion, and the bodyguard took out a tissue to wipe the spotless bench.
Yan Ling entered the pavilion and sat down, panting heavily. He had only walked for a few minutes when he felt a piercing pain in his legs.
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
Yanling wiped the sweat from her forehead and gave an apologetic smile.
Shu Yuqing noticed that he had been walking very unnaturally, his steps were unsteady and he seemed to be enduring intense pain.
She looked down at Yanling and asked, "What do you want?"
“I was young and ignorant before, and I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me, a junior who was ignorant of the world.”
Yanling apologized, but his expression was one of certainty. He believed that as long as he was willing to humble himself before Shu Yuqing, she would definitely forgive him!
After all, she, Ye Boxian, and Ye Beichen all deeply love Jiang Xin, and they can't bear to see their daughter (sister) suffer.
Allowing Jiang Xin to break ties with them was merely a way to force her to return home.
They felt they were not good enough for Jiang Xin. They believed that as long as they sincerely apologized to Shu Yuqing and promised to work hard to give Jiang Xin a happy home, they would definitely accept them.
Once Jiang Xin returns to the Ye family, they will naturally lend a hand to their son-in-law!
The Ye family could easily slip a little money through their fingers and it would be enough for them to live on for a lifetime.
He wasn't the hot-blooded Yanling; he wouldn't let pride or money get in the way.
Shu Yuqing narrowed her eyes slightly. He was apologizing to her? The arrogant and overbearing Yan Ling was apologizing to her?
Alarm bells rang in her mind; Yanling must have some ulterior motive!
In her past life, she had already seen through the true colors of Jiang Xin and Yan Ling.
Jiang Xin is both stupid and vicious, while Yan Ling is not only vicious but also insidious. Everything seems to be done by Jiang Xin, but in fact, he is the one who instigates things behind the scenes every time.
He encouraged Jiang Xin to leave home and live with him, urging her to bravely pursue her freedom.
He had been secretly plotting against Jiang Xin, keeping her under his thumb and making the Ye family hesitant to act against him.
Shu Yuqing said coldly, "I don't deserve such praise. Just say what you have to say."
“Aunt Shu, you’re overthinking it. I’ve come here today specifically to apologize. I was so immature before, and I wasn’t respectful enough to you and Uncle. Please forgive me.”
Yan Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "I will change my bad habits. Jiang Xin and I were both too impulsive. Our actions hurt the relationship between you and her, and I am willing to accept any punishment you may give me."
After saying that, he stood up, bowed deeply to Shu Yuqing, and said loudly, "I'm sorry! Aunt Shu, I was wrong!"
Shu Yuqing's heart sank. Judging from Yan Ling's appearance, he seemed to want to get entangled with the Ye family.
She didn't reply, but instead reminded Yanling, "Jiang Xin has severed ties with us. She has no connection with our family. So what you and she have is none of my business. You don't need to apologize to me. I think you two are a good match."
Shu Yuqing's words struck Yan Ling like a thunderbolt. What did she say? She said Jiang Xin was a good match for her?
That shouldn't be the case. In my past life, after I got together with Jiang Xin, I also had a conversation with her. That conversation was very unpleasant, and we broke up on the spot.
Shu Yuqing mercilessly denounced him for having no dignity and told him not to even dream of being with Jiang Xin, as she would never agree to it!
She, in turn, retaliated against Jiang Xin's attempts to imprison her mind, accusing her of being too controlling and vowing to skin her alive!
But now, Shu Yuqing is saying that Jiang Xin's matter has nothing to do with her?
She used to care about Jiang Xin the most, fearing that Jiang Xin would be led astray by her, and wanted Jiang Xin to walk the bright path she had paved.
But Jiang Xin was a disappointing daughter who only cared about men and had no affection for family. Despite her objections, she insisted on being with him.
Has Shu Yuqing changed in this life? Does she no longer care about Jiang Xin? Isn't she afraid of dragging Jiang Xin into the mire?
Shu Yuqing saw that Yan Ling looked shocked and bewildered, as if she didn't believe her words.
She sneered, "If you've come to me to apologize and talk about Jiang Xin, let me tell you, there's no need. Before Jiang Xin went abroad, she signed an adoption severance agreement with the Ye family. She's no longer my daughter, and I have no interest in your affairs."
Yan Ling stared at Shu Yuqing in disbelief. Had she completely given up on Jiang Xin?
**
To explain, the mother doesn't want to see Yanling, but she wants to know Yanling's motives so she can make plans.
