Chapter 1161: Chapter 1203: Catfight Showdown

Although she didn’t specify names, both she and Huo Junmo knew that the "she" she referred to was Ling Shenglan.

Huo Junmo gazed at her with lowered eyes and said hoarsely with tenderness, "I’ve told you, there’s no need to pretend in front of me. If you’re sad, then be sad. I will always be your most solid harbor!"

"I’m not pretending. What do I have to be sad about? Sad that they’re not my biological parents? Or sad that my existence is destined not to receive love from my biological mother? Or should I be sad about how Ling Shenglan treated me back then? In the end, she was a victim too, made pregnant by my biological father, and all the money was siphoned away. It’s quite normal for her to unconsciously transfer all the hatred for my biological father onto me, isn’t it? Although she didn’t like me, wanted to abandon me, and didn’t want me from the moment I was born, it can’t be denied that she did raise me. While she didn’t love me like other mothers, spoil me, or even give me a smile before I was sixteen, she never hit me, abused me, or made me go out to work to earn money. She still provided food, drink, and clothes for me until I was fifteen. And she never told me about her silent sacrifices behind the scenes. She’s always said that my upbringing was funded by my parents, never taking credit, right? Isn’t this already good enough? When I was in my first year of high school, she left with another man, leaving me alone in Jin City. In the end, she was pursuing her own happiness. She sacrificed fifteen years of happiness for me, and now she’s finally found her own happiness, she should do so! She’s already raised me for sixteen years. I should be grateful she didn’t strangle me at birth and let me live until I could support myself! I should thank her, shouldn’t I?" Ling Yueyue said a lot in one breath, but there was no blame or even hatred toward Ling Shenglan in her words.

"You...!" Huo Junmo looked at her in surprise, never expecting her to be so calm.

Ling Yueyue curled her lips into a smile and said, "What about me? I know very well what I’m thinking. I’m not pretending to be strong, nor am I pretending. These words are truly from my heart! The reason I cried earlier wasn’t because of my background, but because your words moved me so much! Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything to cry about with this background! All along, I’ve accepted the reality of being unloved by my parents, and now suddenly being told that the parents I always thought were mine aren’t actually my biological parents, I feel relieved and happy. I can finally break away from them justifiably. So, I think I should celebrate!"

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you serious?"

Ling Yueyue said confidently, "Of course I’m serious. I, Ling Yueyue, never lie!"

Huo Junmo tugged the corners of his lips, half-smiling, "You never lie? Then who was it who brought a pair of fake parents to meet me?"

Ling Yueyue laughed awkwardly, pursing her lips, "Haha... wasn’t that because my parents are too unconventional? I was afraid they’d keep asking you for money like you’re a cash cow! As it turned out, my thinking was right. They indeed kept asking you for money, shamelessly and without guilt! After all, it was for you!"

Huo Junmo’s slender fingers gently caressed Ling Yueyue’s slightly rosy cheek, gazing deeply into her eyes with affection, "I’ve said it before, any problem solvable with money isn’t a problem. As long as you’re happy, I could give them all the money I’ve earned!"

Ling Yueyue immediately protested strongly against Huo Junmo’s words, "That can’t happen. Even if you’re willing, I won’t agree! You worked hard to earn that money, why let them have it so easily? Who sits back and enjoys the fruits of others’ labor like that, especially when they’re not even my biological parents? They have even less right to your money!"

"Alright, alright, you’re right, you’re right about everything. I’ll listen to whatever you say, as long as you’re happy!" Seeing Ling Yueyue’s face slowly brighten up, Huo Junmo finally felt relieved.

Ling Yueyue pulled Huo Junmo’s hand, letting him sit on the chair opposite her, then she straightened her face and asked seriously, "If you want me to be happy, that’s fine. I have something to ask you, and you must tell me."

Huo Junmo said, "What is it?"

"You tell me, when did you know they weren’t my biological parents? If you knew all along, why did you give them a million? Also, how did you manage to come back in time just now? How did you know my fake mother would come here to find me?" Earlier, she was too angry and didn’t ask all these questions.

Now she had calmed down, completely calmed down, and she understood!

Earlier her mother, oh... no, should be called aunt now! Earlier, when her aunt suddenly came over to tell her all the truths, it really hit her hard. She was very upset, very sad, and she also hated her biological mother!

But then she thought about it carefully, why would her aunt suddenly come and tell her this out of the blue? Given her character, she would never reveal the truth, otherwise, how could she continue to squeeze money out of her?

So her aunt’s visit must have a motive, and it’s not pure.

Then she realized, they turned against each other and began their squabble, and she became their pawn in the battle.

The purpose of her aunt’s actions was to make her hate her biological mom, not recognize her, and as a result, make her biological mom sad and upset. Therefore, whether what her aunt said can be believed or not, she could only reflect on it herself.

She, Ling Yueyue, wasn’t that foolish, she wouldn’t let herself become a tool in their battle. She is who she is, and nobody can dominate or change her life.

As for her so-called biological mother, her former aunt Ling Shenglan.

Sorry, although she doesn’t hate her, she can’t accept her either! For someone who did everything possible to abort her from the beginning, wanted to kill her, she couldn’t bring herself to like or accept. Thinking about it just irks her.

So, she wouldn’t let herself be used by her aunt, nor would she easily accept her biological mother.

She thinks that now everything is just fine, whatever will be, will be. She will still live her simple and ordinary life!
