Chapter 2084: Twin Sister vs. Socialite Sister (Part 12)

Xu Zhiyao was filled with resentment towards Gu Shengyin at this moment.

She thought to herself: If you ignore me, I don’t want to deal with you either!

The parents on both sides watched their two daughters with some concern.

No parents want to see their two children not getting along.

Especially Father Xu and Mother Xu, who have only these two daughters, they hope that after they pass away, the sisters will watch over and help each other rather than being estranged for life.

In the evening, Mother Xu went to Gu Shengyin’s room.

Gu Shengyin was leaning against the headboard reading a book and was surprised to see her mother come in—as a mother who respects her children’s privacy and personal space, Mother Xu rarely takes the initiative to enter her children’s rooms.

"Mom?"

Mother Xu looked at her eldest daughter and called out, "Yanyan."

Gu Shengyin looked at her with confusion.

Under the gentle yet non-glaring light in the room, Mother Xu felt her eldest daughter’s gaze was as clear as if it was glowing.

She sighed and said, "Yanyan, we have booked Yaoyao’s flight for tomorrow morning."

After she said this, she saw the light in her eldest daughter’s eyes dim.

She quietly said, "Oh."

Her attitude was obvious—she didn’t want to discuss this topic.

Seeing this, Mother Xu felt a bit troubled.

She clearly knew that in this matter, it was her eldest daughter who was wronged.

But as a mother, she still hoped her two daughters could reconcile.

So she still spoke up: "Yanyan, please don’t blame your sister, okay?"

Gu Shengyin closed her book and said nothing.

Mother Xu patiently watched her daughter.

She understood her eldest daughter’s temperament; no matter what the answer was, she was not someone who would use avoidance and silence to solve problems.

Sure enough, after seeming to sort out her words, Gu Shengyin spoke after a while.

"Mom, I’m actually very tired."

Mother Xu widened her eyes.

"Ever since I was a child, I felt that since I am the elder sister, it’s only right that I should be good to Xu Zhiyao. Whatever I got, I left the best for her; whenever I saw something new, I would take her to see it; when there was trouble, I would stand in front of her. Just like this time, thinking she was bullied, without a second thought, I wanted to stand up for her."

Gu Shengyin looked up and met her mother’s eyes: "People’s hearts are made of flesh. For so many years, let alone that Xu Zhiyao and I are biological sisters, even if we were strangers, as long as she thought of me a little, remembered any of my kindness, she wouldn’t say such devastating words to me."

At this, she suddenly chuckled softly: "Mom, over the years, have you gotten used to it too? Thinking that since I’m the older sister, it’s only right and natural for me to let Xu Zhiyao have her way?"

Mother Xu was at a loss for words.

She has always prided herself on being fair until her eldest daughter laid everything bare, making her suddenly realize that she and her husband had unconsciously become unfair.

Yanyan is only a few minutes older than Yaoyao, so when did they start believing Yanyan should always give way to Yaoyao?

Is it because she’s sensible that she should suffer?

As Gu Shengyin spoke, she also felt a sense of emotion.

She gently lowered her head, the curve of her bent neck was exceptionally fragile, and her tone carried a faint trace of grievance: "Sometimes, I also think about causing trouble without any worries, hoping someone would pamper and protect me."
