Chapter 1873: Chapter 1874: Like Watching a TV Drama
“Yan, it’s okay. You resent me, blame me, and refuse to forgive me, I can understand all of that. You don’t need to feel guilty. It was my fault in the first place! I failed to take care of you back then, causing you to be taken away, and later I couldn’t recognize you, leaving you to suffer in vain.” Jiang Chenyue said with a bitter smile, probably noticing her persistent silence, “If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t be able to accept it either, let alone forgive. I’m sorry.”
Rong Yan counted in her heart, in less than a minute she had apologized to her at least four times, each time more sorrowful, each time heavier.
This made her heart inexplicably clench, feeling a bit unfortable.
For the first time, she spoke, “Mrs. Jiang, I don’t resent you.”
Jiang Chenyue’s eyes suddenly lit up, but recalling how she addressed her, her heart sank halfway, forcing a smile, “It’s okay, you don’t have to fort me, I know in my heart. No matter what decision you make, even if you refuse to acknowledge me, I can accept it.”
Looking into Rong Yan’s eyes, she continued, “Although we haven’t known each other for long, I know what kind of person you are. In other people’s eyes, the Chu Family seems very wealthy, very powerful, and connecting with the Chu Family apparently changes everything. But I know you aren’t like that! You don’t care about those things, you have your own principles.”
Rong Yan felt a bit embarrassed.
She wanted to refute, but upon reflection, she couldn’t argue with Jiang Chenyue’s words.
Jiang Chenyue wasn’t wrong; the Chu Family is indeed impressive, boasting about outside. If she became Miss Chu, those who used to oppress her with their family backgrounds would no longer dare to trouble her with those words and might even flock around to curry favor.
But, to be honest… she doesn’t really care about that. It’s not that she’s so self-assured that she can disregard money and status; she isn’t that noble, nor are her thoughts so elevated. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be working hard to start a pany with Estelle. She’s simply content. She now has Little Baby, Li Shengxiao, family like Mrs. Lin, and friends like Gu Linxi by her side. Truth be told, her life is very fulfilling; whether or not she’s Miss Chu, her life has no regrets.
As she drifted off, Jiang Chenyue lowered her eyes and said painfully, “Yan, I didn’t reveal the truth last night to put you in a difficult position or make you recognize me. I just didn’t want to see them bully you anymore. I’m sorry for not telling you in advance before I spoke out. Actually, that night you took me out for a late-night snack, I had the opportunity to tell you… but I couldn’t… I’m sorry, this was the only way I had the courage to say it. I’m truly sorry.”
Another string of apologies followed.
Rong Yan was so embarrassed that she waved her hands to stop her, “Mrs. Jiang, you don’t need to be like this.”
She took a deep breath, meeting Jiang Chenyue’s guilt-ridden eyes, and helplessly bowed her head, “I don’t resent you, nor do I blame you. I don’t know how to describe my feelings to you, it’s just… you’ve always believed that your biological parents didn’t want you, and you had made up your mind not to find them. Then suddenly one day, someone tells you that you were wrong all along, your biological parents were right beside you, and they are people you know. How to describe that feeling…”
After pondering for a while, she found a fitting description, “It’s like watching a TV drama!”
Unreal.
