Chapter 5: I Had No Other Choice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Wanyu had two daughters. One was a big star who lived a glamorous life, while the other lived in the countryside and in poverty. Once these things were exposed by the reporters, her daughter who was a celebrity would definitely be implicated. These days, netizens pay a lot of attention to the issue of parents favoring their children.
If their relationship with Song Wei could not be eased, Song Ning’s future as a star would surely be affected.
For the sake of her eldest daughter’s future, Zhao Wanyu had no choice but to lower her voice. “Lil’ Wei, can you come in and talk to me? There’s no overnight feud between a family. I’ll give you all the explanations I owed you back then. After all, we’re your true family in this world.”
Song Wei brought the two into the room, but Song Ning kept covering her nose the whole time. Song Wei reminded her, “If you really can’t stand it, you can leave.”
Song Ning widened her eyes. “What do you mean? Are you kicking me out?”
Zhao Wanyu pulled her back. This girl had been spoiled by her and did not know how to pretend at all. Now that they were the ones begging for help, they had to humble themselves.
“It’s all my fault. I’ve spoiled your elder sister all these years. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She’s straightforward, but she doesn’t mean any harm. Lil’ Wei, don’t take it to heart.”
Song Wei chuckled and thought, ‘Spoilt?’
Zhao Wanyu went straight to the point and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She choked on her sobs and said, “Lil’ Wei, I really had no other choice but to abandon you back then. At that time, you were already five years old and had yet to speak. You didn’t have any expression on your face and didn’t interact with the outside world. They all said that you were autistic and that this was the only way for you to live. You know what kind of family the Shen family is. If I had brought you there, they wouldn’t have accepted you. I was also forced into a corner.”
Song Wei put her hands in her pockets and lazily leaned against the door frame. The corners of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. “So, after 17 years, you come to blame me for not saying anything when I was five years old? You’re blaming me for being abandoned?”
Song Ning could not take it anymore. “How could you think like that? Didn’t Mom apologize to you? She also said that she regretted abandoning you back then.”
After saying that, she met Song Wei’s gaze and was shocked. She opened her mouth but did not say anything. ‘When did she become so imposing?’
Zhao Wanyu raised her hand to wipe her tears again. “Why would I blame you? I’m only blaming myself. I was wrong. All these years, in order to make up for my mistake, I sent you a lot of money. I didn’t let you starve and freeze, so you could grow up properly.”
Song Wei played with the heavy Swiss Army knife in her hand, completely giving up on the idea of communicating with them.
In her mom’s perspective, there was nothing wrong with abandoning her back then. It was just that the circumstances forced her to do so. Moreover, now that her mom had put down her pride and came to apologize to her, as her daughter, Song Wei should be grateful and forget everything that had happened in the past.
“My position in the Shen family is now stable, so I can bring you back now. Uncle Shen also welcomes you there.” If it was not for Song Ning’s acting career, she, the dignified Mrs. Shen, would not have had to say these things humbly.
Although Song Wei was not as indifferent as she was when she was young, Zhao Wanyu felt that she had a lingering temperament. Song Wei was undisciplined and uncontrollable, and she could not be compared to Ningning at all.
Their mother-daughter relationship was already bad when Song Wei was young. In addition, they had not seen each other for 17 years, so their relationship was even duller. Zhao Wanyu felt that it was a very dangerous thing to let Song Wei enter the Song family, but she could only do this for the sake of Ningning.
Zhao Wanyu lowered her voice and asked, “Lil’ Wei, then give Mommy a chance to make it up to you, okay? Come back to Yanjing with me. You can’t live in this poor and remote place for the rest of your life, right?”
Song Wei said nonchalantly, “You look down on my small village, but I don’t like your well-organized and rich family either. I think my small village is pretty good.”
The setting sun shone in from the outside on the side of Song Wei’s face. Zhao Wanyu carefully studied her face and realized that her facial features were exquisite. She was even better looking than Song Ning, the famous celebrity. It was just that her clothes were too unkempt, which was a waste to her good looks.
Song Ning could not help but persuade Song Wei, “Song Wei, no matter what, we’re still family, and we share the same blood. Mom did do something wrong in the past, but you shouldn’t hold something against your parents like that.”
Had she not heard of a certain saying?
If one tried to persuade others to be magnanimous, one would be struck by lightning!
Zhao Wanyu took out a bank card from her branded bag and placed it on the table. “Lil’ Wei, there’s 100,000 yuan here. After you arrive in Yanjing, I’ll give you 10,000 yuan as pocket money every month. You haven’t studied, and you don’t have a college degree, but that’s okay. I can arrange for you to join Uncle Shen’s company and start working as a clerk assistant. What do you think?”
Qin Xiao, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was going crazy from laughing..
