Chapter 423 - Community Service (1/2)
Xin Qian stepped up and continued, ”You're not that close to your son, eh?”
He Susu was lost for words before she answered, ”That's only because when I met him, he was already a grown-up. He didn't need a mother at that age.”
Xin Qian smiled at her strangely, ”You met Xu Mey around the same time you met your son, no?” He Susu was silent and she went on, ”Then how come she managed to get all your love and care. Shouldn't you be compensating your son for everything he missed out on? But what are you doing? Instead of actually giving him the reassurance that he has a mother to lean on, you're actually here claiming that he must be in the wrong.”
When Xu Mey saw that Xin Qian's words were making He Susu uncomfortable, she stepped up. Although she couldn't deny Xin Qian's words, she wasn't gonna let her speak like this to her mother-in-law.
”And who are you to lecture her?” said Xu Mey fiercely. ”At least, she didn't know her son is alive for all those years. But you! You abandoned your own child. So, how are you preaching here with a straight face?”
Xin Qian didn't feel upset at all. She had gotten used to her daughter talking like this with her. And she also realized why she did it, so she didn't get angry at all.
”First, you should learn to be a good mother than try to teach someone else!”
Xin Qian sighed out, ”As if you're doing an any better job? In fact, you're actually proving that you're my daughter. You're just as bad at being a mother like me, if not worse.”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #.-ceo-loves-the-devilish-beauty_12564072806923405/community-service_50608852537756048 for visiting.
”You!” Xu Mey was enraged. ”Don't compare me with yourself!” Xu Mey was reminded of how Jie had actually compared her with this woman last night as well. That's why she had lost her temper so easily. She still couldn't bring herself to forget that this woman left her, abandoned her! No matter how much she tried to convince herself that it didn't matter. It was that one knot that she couldn't untie!
”I really shouldn't compare you with myself,” said Xin Qian. ”At least, I had a reason to leave you behind. What's your excuse for abandoning your kids?”
”I'm not you! I'd never abandon my kids! Not for anything!” shouted Xu Mey with red eyes.
”But what you're doing is worse...” Xin Qian had a sad smile on her face as she continued, ”In my case, I was completely gone from your world. So, someone could fill my absence. And the women beside you actually did fill my absence. But you...” She looked straight at Xu Mey, ”You're actually here, and yet, your kids feel your absence. You're there and yet not there for them. Isn't it crueler? They are neither able to hold on to their mother nor can they let her go.”
