Chapter 564 Explanation
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what's the use of saying sorry!"
Zhong Mengxuan stood up and yelled at Li Yiqiu, "Don't say sorry to me, just tell me when I can leave this damn place."
"I really can't stay here for another moment. If I continue like this, I will definitely die in this damn place. You are my mother, please find a solution for me!"
Seeing Zhong Mengxuan's disastrous appearance, Li Yiqiu was unable to utter those words. She could only constantly comfort Zhong Mengxuan, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's all mom and dad's fault. We don't have the ability to save you."
At this moment, she felt extremely sorry for Zhong Mengxuan because she had chosen her son over her daughter.
Watching the scene before her, Zhong Nianyao rested her elbows on the table, her chin in one hand, and looked lazily at Li Yiqiu and Zhong Mengxuan. Then, a faint voice rang out, "It's not that she can't save you. It's just that she didn't choose you."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Zhong Mengxuan, who was venting, and Li Yiqiu, who was busy trying to comfort them, immediately quieted down.
After Zhong Mengxuan glanced at Zhong Nianyao, her gaze fell on Li Yiqiu again. When she spoke, she added a hint of aggression, "Mom, what does she mean by this?"
Li Yiqiu's eyes were evasive, not daring to look at Zhong Mengxuan, "I... I..."
At this point, although it was not clear what exactly happened, Zhong Mengxuan seemed to have realized something, "Mom, tell me, tell me. Why didn't you save me? Why didn't you save me?"
From Zhong Nianyao's words, she knew that she had the opportunity to leave, but her parents gave up this chance.
But why? She was their biological daughter! Why would they abandon her? Was she going to be locked up in this dark place for the rest of her life?
No, she couldn't accept it, she couldn't accept it.
"Mengxuan, calm down first." Li Yiqiu hugged Zhong Mengxuan and continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, just listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly."
Not knowing what she was thinking, Zhong Mengxuan gradually calmed down. She looked at Li Yiqiu with an oppressive look in her eyes. "Then explain to me now, why did you let me stay here when you clearly had the opportunity to save me?"
Although she could explain it, when she really wanted to explain it, Li Yiqiu didn't know where to start. She opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say.
"Didn't you say you wanted to explain?" Zhong Mengxuan pressed on, "Then explain! I'm right here listening!"
"I……"
Li Yiqiu gritted her teeth and told the story. However, while she was speaking, she also tried to express the helplessness she and her husband felt.
Zhong Mengxuan listened to everything quietly. She didn't immediately throw a tantrum to vent her emotions. Instead, she said coldly, "So you gave up the chance to save me just so he could recover?"
"Mengxuan, I hope you can understand us. We are forced to do this!" Li Yiqiu sighed and said helplessly, "You are all my children. I really don't have a choice."
"But your brother's situation is more urgent than yours. He has lived a difficult life since he was born and has never had an easy day. So, we—"
"So, in your hearts, your son is more important than me, your daughter, right?" Zhong Mengxuan said expressionlessly, "You're trading my freedom for his health, right?"
"No, no!" Li Yiqiu said quickly, "Mengxuan, don't worry, we will definitely hire the best lawyer for you. Although you did something wrong, it didn't cause any serious consequences, so even if you are sentenced, it won't be too severe. As long as you work hard to reform yourself in there, you will definitely be released soon."
Zhong Mengxuan raised her head and looked at Li Yiqiu. There was no attachment left in her eyes. Instead, she was filled with cold hatred. "What sweet words you say! You know I can't stay here for even a minute longer, yet you still treat me like this. You only care about your son and not me, your daughter."
Feeling Zhong Mengxuan's hatred, Li Yiqiu was very sad, "Mengxuan, I really didn't. If possible, I would even be willing to go to jail in your place."
"But this is your brother's only chance to recover. Besides, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been born prematurely, let alone—"
All the words stopped abruptly, and Li Yiqiu realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly explained, "Mengxuan, I really didn't mean anything else, it's just... it's just..."
She didn't know why, but these words just came out of her mouth.
These words obviously irritated Zhong Mengxuan even more. When she looked at Li Yiqiu, her hatred became even more obvious. "So you've been blaming me all along!"
"I didn't, I really didn't!"
Li Yiqiu didn't know how to explain it, so she could only keep repeating these two sentences.
"From today on, you are no longer my mother." Zhong Mengxuan said coldly, "Anyway, in your eyes, I am no longer your daughter. And-"
When she said this, she took a step forward and stared at Li Yiqiu closely, the hatred in her eyes almost turning into substance, "Remember, the reason why I am like this today and facing imprisonment is all because of you. You ruined me. It was you who chose to give up on me when I clearly had the chance. You owe me your whole life."
Under such strong hatred, Li Yiqiu felt that it was difficult for her to breathe. She wanted to explain, but found that it was all in vain.
After today, she completely lost her daughter.
My nose felt sore and the tears in my eyes could no longer be controlled and began to flow down.
Zhong Mengxuan didn't even glance at her. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Zhong Nianyao. She said in a calm tone, "Zhong Nianyao, you are happy now, right? Seeing me so miserable and abandoned by everyone, you must feel very happy! Now you can laugh at my jokes as much as you want."
"Zhong Mengxuan, who do you think you are? I'm not interested in your jokes." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "The reason I came here today is just because I'm afraid someone will go back on their word. As for other things, I really haven't thought about it!"
