Upon hearing this, Ji Zichen instinctively replied, "I have never felt that you are not good enough for me!"
That's just your opinion.
Xuancao turned around, looked at him, and slowly said, "Ji Zichen, you are already a battalion commander at such a young age. If you take another step, you will be a regimental commander. As for me, I am just an illiterate country girl. Everyone says that I am not good enough for you."
"I know everything!"
“I know you are young and promising, I know you have a bright future, that’s why I watched your parents chisel holes in the thin ice to fish, that’s why I watched them fall into the icy river.”
"That so-called life-saving grace was all something I meticulously planned and schemed for. I jumped into the icy river at the perfect moment to save them. I used their sympathy and pity to secure our marriage, and then I used your sympathy and pity to win your favor."
"But everything I've gained this way will eventually be shattered unless I'm willing to pretend to be weak and pitiful for the rest of my life."
"Ji Zichen, I don't want to act anymore."
“I’ve found my real family. I don’t have to pretend anymore. From the moment I took off my disguise in front of you, I knew that we had no future.”
"I am not the person you think I am, nor am I the person you pity or sympathize with, and I certainly don't want to spend my life begging and groveling with you!"
"Let's... end this!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
She covered her mouth, forcing herself not to cry out.
She was wrong.
Her daughter is actually not cruel at all.
She kept scheming, kept saying she wanted to kill someone, but...
The Ji couple survived because of her scheming, and Ji Zichen also recovered from his illness and returned home because of her scheming, and even more...
Even the Zhao family, the Zhao family who treated her daughter so harshly, are all living well now.
My daughter's ruthlessness is only verbal.
It's just her camouflage.
She simply wanted to give them the worst possible impression from the very beginning of their relationship, and that's how it happened...
They won't be disappointed in her, and they won't abandon her because of disappointment!
How many wounds must a person suffer to live so cautiously, as if walking on thin ice?
Her daughter...
How hard did life really get before?
How tired is your heart?
That's why they built such high walls and pretended to be so strong.
Yu Mingxiang was heartbroken.
Silent weeping.
Ji Zichen shook his head repeatedly, subconsciously explaining, "No, it's not like that. How do you know? I don't know your scheme?"
"How do you know that you weren't nearby when my parents fell into the ice hole?"
"When Jiang Taiweng fished, we were willing to take the bait. What gives you the right to catch the fish and then just throw it away?"
"Daylily, do you really not want me anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Xuancao said, "..."
After a long silence, she nodded, "Yes! No!"
"A wrong start inevitably leads to a bumpy road ahead; a tilted scale can never be fair."
"Ji Zichen, you are someone I can't afford to be with. I don't want to force it anymore."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zichen exclaimed, "!!!"
Looking at the resolute expression on Xuan Cao's face...
a long time.
She turned around and walked out, looking utterly dejected.
Daylily: "..."
Her eyes flickered slightly as she watched his retreating figure.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang had no doubts and immediately stepped forward to hug her.
"It's okay, I'm here!"
She held her daughter and said gently, "If you don't want him, then we won't. Your brother, sister-in-law, and I will work hard to make you worthy of anyone!"
"My daughter deserves the best of everything in the world! Waaah..."
In the end, Yu Mingxiang couldn't help but cry again.
Daylily: "..."
He turned his head and glanced at her.
Hesitantly, he took out a handkerchief and handed it over, saying, "This is my handkerchief, you... don't mind that it's dirty."
