Chapter 1168: Chapter 1210: My Feelings

"...!" Ling Shenglan was silent for a while, then slowly nodded, "You’re right, Yueyue is emotionally unstable right now, I shouldn’t appear in front of her to upset her! I’ll wait, wait until her mood improves, wait until she stabilizes, then I’ll go to her and seek her forgiveness!"

Huo Junmo, satisfied with Ling Shenglan’s answer, said, "Thank you for understanding!"

Ling Shenglan lowered her head, guilt-ridden, "I feel sorry for Yueyue, you care about Yueyue, like her, think of everything for her, and so do I! If time could turn back, I definitely wouldn’t have treated her that way, I would have cherished her, although I couldn’t give her a father’s love, I could still give her the greatest maternal love in the world! Even if I had to get married to Xiao Feng and leave, I would have taken her with me, I absolutely wouldn’t have left her alone and helpless in Jin City, like discarding baggage! Unfortunately, there’s no regret medicine in this world, what’s done is done, it can never be undone!"

"If you truly love Yueyue now and sincerely want to change, Yueyue will feel it! I believe where there is a will, there is a way. Yueyue may look strong and brave on the outside, but her heart is very soft, otherwise, she wouldn’t repeatedly endure her uncle and aunt asking for money without severing ties with them! Oh...right...!" At this point, Huo Junmo seemed to suddenly remember something and continued, "Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you! When Yueyue was eighteen, her uncle and aunt married her off to a cripple in the same village for a hundred thousand yuan. If Yueyue hadn’t refused with all her might and borrowed a hundred thousand yuan to repay that cripple, Yueyue would have been sold by now!"

"What... there was such a thing?" Upon hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Shenglan was startled, placing her hands on the table, unintentionally knocking an empty juice cup to the ground.

Just hearing a ’clang’ sound, the cup rolled off the table and shattered into pieces on the ground.

The sound of the cup shattering caught the attention of a waiter, who hurried over to take a look, soothing Ling Shenglan while crouching down to clean up the broken glass pieces on the ground.

Ling Shenglan couldn’t care less about the waiter, she stood up excitedly, her voice trembling as she asked, "What did you say? What did you just say? Did they really sell Yueyue to a cripple for a hundred thousand yuan?"

Huo Junmo nodded and said truthfully, "This is something I heard from Yueyue, and then I had someone investigate it! When Yueyue just turned eighteen, they secretly promised her to a cripple in the same village for a hundred thousand yuan dowry. If it weren’t for that cripple suddenly going to the school to find Yueyue and telling her everything, Yueyue wouldn’t even know that she had been sold by her uncle and aunt! Knowing this, Yueyue refused to marry, but her uncle and aunt couldn’t return the hundred thousand yuan dowry to the man’s family! Frustrated, Yueyue scraped together a hundred thousand yuan to repay the man’s family and then worked day and night, taking two years to pay back the money!"

Upon hearing Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Shenglan couldn’t help but clench her fist and strike the table with force, her face flushed as she said, "How could this happen? How could things be like this? How could they do this? They’re still human? Yueyue was only eighteen! How could they marry Yueyue to a cripple for a mere hundred thousand yuan! They’re too much! It’s simply inhumane!"

Huo Junmo said with a calm expression, "The reason I’m telling you this is not to stir up feelings between you and your brother, but because I think you, as Yueyue’s biological mother, have the right to know these things! I also just wanted to tell you what kind of life Yueyue has been living since you left for more than five years! Over the past five years, Yueyue really had a hard time! You know, a hundred thousand yuan is a huge amount of money for a little girl who just turned eighteen! If it weren’t for Yueyue having a considerate good friend like Ye Anxin, Yueyue might have been forced to marry that man because of that hundred thousand yuan!"

"Ye Anxin...!" Hearing this name, Ling Shenglan gradually remembered this person.

She remembered that Ye Anxin and Yueyue were very good friends, they knew each other since elementary school and then went to the same school until high school! Sometimes Yueyue would go to Ye Anxin’s house to play, and Ye Anxin would always come to their house to play,

It’s just that she didn’t like Yueyue at the time, particularly disliked her, so she never showed Ye Anxin a good face as well.

She didn’t expect their friendship to persist until now, and Ye Anxin even helped her daughter repay that hundred thousand yuan! She remembered that Ye Anxin’s father seemed to be a gambler too, heavily in debt.

Huo Junmo glanced at his wristwatch, and said warmly, "I’ve basically said everything I needed to say today, time’s about up, I should head back to the company. If you miss Yueyue and Tiantian, want to know how Yueyue is doing these days, what she does every day, you can call me, my phone is always available for you! I can also take some photos to show you!"

Ling Shenglan grasped Huo Junmo’s hand on the table, sincerely and genuinely said, "Junmo, thank you, really thank you! You’re so busy every day, yet you take the time to talk to me for so long, Yueyue marrying you is the greatest blessing of her life! You’re a good man, Yueyue marrying you, even if I leave in the future, I will be relieved!"

Huo Junmo smiled and replied, "I’m Yueyue’s husband, all of this is what I should do! Being able to marry Yueyue is the greatest blessing of my life!"

"Thank you for taking care of Yueyue, really thank you, and I especially thank you for telling me what happened three years ago! Otherwise, I might have been kept in the dark for my whole life and never known!" Ling Shenglan looked at Huo Junmo with gratitude.

Because of this matter suddenly known to her, her hatred towards Ling’s father and mother was deepening and expanding continuously.

"No problem! As Yueyue’s husband, this is all what I should do!" Huo Junmo smiled, withdrawing his hand from Ling Shenglan’s, "It’s about time, I have another meeting in the afternoon, I have to head back to the company first!" Saying this, he stood up, tidied his clothes a bit, and walked towards the service desk.

Seeing him walk towards the service desk, Ling Shenglan hurried to follow with her bag. When Huo Junmo took out his wallet and was about to settle the bill, she hurriedly pressed down on Huo Junmo’s hand, "Junmo, I should invite you to this meal, please let me pay! Consider it a token of my regard as an elder!"
