Chapter 1167: Chapter 1209: Let Her Calm Down

Ling Shenglan said a lot, and Huo Junmo simply replied, "Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that you abandoned her, does it?"

"Yes, you’re right! No matter what, leaving her alone in Jin City back then was truly my mistake. I was selfish, only thinking about pursuing my own happiness and neglecting my biological daughter! So, this time I’ve come back, I’ve been trying everything I can to make up for it. I want to be good to her, I want Yueyue to regain a sense of family, to feel the warmth of being cared for by family! I didn’t return this time to recognize her, I just wanted to see her happy! Actually, when I first came back, I just wanted to see how she was doing now. If she was doing well, I would leave immediately and absolutely not disturb her life! But after seeing her, I realized that I couldn’t bear to leave her. The more I spent time with her, the more I became greedy, to the point where I considered staying forever!" Ling Shenglan said while trembling, wiping the tears off her face with her hands.

Since hearing from Huo Junmo the truth about why Ling Yueyue ignored her, her heart and body had not stopped trembling!

She wanted to return to normal, to calm herself down! But no matter how hard she tried, her body trembled even more, and she could even feel a chill spreading from the soles of her feet to her entire body.

She was cold, shivering uncontrollably from the cold.

Huo Junmo said earnestly, "I asked you out today just to tell you that Yueyue now knows everything, and she can’t forgive you! Even though I really want her to reunite with you, you know that Yueyue is a very strong-willed person, and no matter what I say, once she makes up her mind, no one else can change it! Since she’s decided not to reconcile with you and to never have any contact again, I hope you can return to your husband and younger son! Let Yueyue’s life return to peace from now on! You’ve already deprived Yueyue of a mother’s love in the first half of her life, please don’t let your son walk the same path as Yueyue did!"

"I’ve thought about leaving several times, but every time I see Yueyue and Tiantian, I just can’t bring myself to leave! And I want to demand justice for Yueyue, things aren’t resolved yet, I can’t bear to leave!" Speaking of this matter, Ling Shenglan couldn’t help but think of Mother Ling, and hate her so much that her teeth itched.

More than anyone, she understood why that woman did this; it was simply because she demanded money from them that should have been hers. That woman harbored a grudge, told Yueyue all the truth, just hoping Yueyue would hate her, not forgive her, thus achieving the malicious goal of sowing discord between them.

Now it seems that her goal has been achieved! Yueyue truly ignored her because she knows the truth, and she wants to completely sever ties with her.

Thinking about never being able to see Yueyue again, she just felt waves of pain in her heart, wanted to cry, but found she didn’t even have the energy to do so!

Huo Junmo calmly asked, "Demand justice? We don’t lack that money! Maybe that money, to you, is a token of affection for Yueyue! But again seeing that money, it’s inevitable that Yueyue will recall the past when you abandoned her. At that time, do you think, when Yueyue sees that money, will she be happy? You might feel that getting the money back for her compensates for all these years of regrets, and you can leave with a clear conscience! But have you thought about it, this shadow might linger in Yueyue’s heart for the rest of her life?"

After listening to Huo Junmo, Ling Shenglan was shocked and unable to react for a long time, "I...! I... I didn’t think that far... I just simply, purely wanted to make up to Yueyue!"

Huo Junmo calmly analyzed: "If, under the premise that Yueyue didn’t know the truth, you gave her this money, she would appreciate you! But now she knows everything, doesn’t that money, if placed in her hands, just repeatedly remind her that once she was a child abandoned by her biological mother, or even not loved by her at all? Do you think she will be happy this way? Will she forgive you, will she understand your well-intentioned efforts?"

"...!" Facing Huo Junmo’s question, Ling Shenglan didn’t react for a long time.

At that moment, the waiter brought the meal they ordered earlier!

After the waiter neatly arranged the dishes and rice one by one, Huo Junmo pushed the bowl of white rice in front of Ling Shenglan closer to her and gently said, "Let’s eat first! We can talk about it after eating!"

After listening to Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Shenglan had no appetite, especially with her hands trembling, not even having the strength to hold the chopsticks.

Seeing Ling Shenglan in a state of despair, Huo Junmo sighed helplessly, picked up a piece of her favorite dish and placed it in her bowl, saying helplessly, "Don’t think too much, I asked you out today to solve this matter! So, let’s eat first! You need strength to discuss what to do next!"

"Mm!" Ling Shenglan nodded, tried to pick up the chopsticks, but found she couldn’t hold them properly, every piece of food she picked fell onto the table.

Helplessly, Ling Shenglan had to pick up the spoon and eat with it.

Unfortunately, the delicious dishes tasted like wax in her mouth, extremely unpalatable, and she couldn’t eat them.

Despite being unable to eat, Ling Shenglan insisted and finished a bowl of rice.

After finishing the bowl of rice, she wiped her mouth with a napkin, leaned back on the chair, stared blankly at Huo Junmo as he ate gracefully, not knowing what she was thinking!

Compared to Ling Shenglan’s panic, Huo Junmo was much more composed, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

Only after eating did he put down his chopsticks, waved to call the waiter, had the unfinished food cleared, and ordered some dessert.

"Junmo, what do you think I should do now? I really want to make it up to Yueyue, to make up for all these years I’ve let her down! But she just won’t give me that chance! I really don’t know what to do now!" As she spoke, her eyes turned red, tears welling up.

Now she truly regretted it! Had she known it would end up like this, she would never have treated her biological daughter like that!

Huo Junmo calmly said, "At this time, my suggestion is not to appear in front of Yueyue again, give her time to be alone and think it over! I will also advise her! When she completely calms down, she will be able to listen to your explanations and repentances calmly!"

Ling Shenglan asked reluctantly, "Do you mean for me to leave Jin City now?"

Huo Junmo said, "Whether you leave Jin City or not, during this time, it’s best not to appear in front of her!"
