Chapter 2085: Twin Sister vs. Socialite Sister (Part 13)

Mother Xu’s heart shook heavily.

The gentle words of her eldest daughter were like a soft knife, slowly yet truly grinding against the softest part of her heart.

This unbearable pain left her no escape.

Unable to resist, she reached out to hug her daughter’s shoulder.

Gu Shengyin felt the gentle tremble of this mother’s body.

But it wasn’t enough.

She curved her eyes, speaking softly yet cruelly: "Mom, I don’t want to talk to her anymore, and I don’t like her anymore."

She clearly sensed the other’s body tremble violently for a moment, but she closed her eyes and didn’t say another word.

When Mother Xu came out of her eldest daughter’s room, her eyes were red.

She then went to her younger daughter’s room.

Xu Zhiyao’s room was messy, with clothes and shoes scattered on the bed and floor.

She had always been quite resistant to the decisions made by her parents and naturally unwilling to tidy up.

Mother Xu frowned at the scene.

She was a woman who loved cleanliness and order, and the style of this room clearly displeased her.

But it’s not the time to worry about that.

Mother Xu glanced around, planning to have the maid clean it up later.

"Yaoyao." She called to her daughter, who was sitting at the head of the bed hugging her knees.

Xu Zhiyao was full of resentment.

She didn’t want to leave Xia City, didn’t want to go to the Imperial Capital where she knew no one.

In Xu Zhiyao’s eyes, her parents making this decision meant they were disgusted with this daughter.

She was abandoned.

Because they had a better daughter like Xu Zhiyan.

Mother Xu’s arrival brought her a last glimmer of hope.

"Mom!" Her eyes brightened.

Xu Zhiyao got off the bed and took her mother’s hand, filled with hope: "Go tell Dad, don’t send me to the Imperial Capital, okay? I miss you. I don’t want to go there, I can’t bear to leave you guys..."

With her delicate features, the way she pouted and acted spoiled made most people unable to resist.

Moreover, the object of her spoiling was her biological mother.

Xu Zhiyao’s spoiled behavior had always worked with Mother Xu.

She thought that as long as she moved her tender-hearted mother, the possibility of persuading her father would increase infinitely—a father who was always stern with his children but infinitely gentle and lenient with his wife.

Xu Zhiyao had imagined blissfully, but this time she miscalculated.

Her mother looked at her helplessly: "Yaoyao, sending you to the Imperial Capital this time is a decision made jointly by me and your father. I can’t indulge you anymore."

From her gaze, Xu Zhiyao saw there was no turning back on this matter.

She let out a sound of frustration, unhappily releasing her grip on her mother’s hand, sulkily sitting back on the bed, clearly showing "I’m not happy, don’t bother me."

Mother Xu hesitated, seeing her younger daughter like this.

She stood there for a while, and Xu Zhiyao never turned around.

After a while, Xu Zhiyao finally said gloomily: "Then what did Mom come here for?"

Mother Xu replied gently: "Yaoyao, before you go to the Imperial Capital, you should apologize to your sister."

Xu Zhiyao abruptly turned her head.

She hadn’t expected that this late-night visit from her mother wasn’t to comfort her, but to ask her to apologize to Xu Zhiyan!

Why should I?

If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have ended up unable to stay in Xia City where I’ve grown up.

She outright refused!

She didn’t speak, but her expression and attitude clearly indicated her refusal.
