“Xinxin, take it that I’m begging you.” Qiao Yuan’s eyes were also red and she was ashamed. She still had to force herself to do it, otherwise, what else could she do?

She could not just watch as the matter escalated and got out of hand!

In the eyes of the Song family, the Qiao family was already very humble. The Song family did not care about her maternal family at all. If such a thing happened again, the Qiao family would find it even more difficult to survive in the future.

The Qiao family had to rely on the Song family to survive. If the Song family did not help the Qiao family, how would her parents, brothers, the young and the old in the family survive!

When Song Xin heard this, she found it funny and sad. She looked up at the woman in front of her seriously. “Second Auntie, I know you’re good to me. You’ve always been good to me since we were young, but touch your conscience and tell me that if I were Yanyan, would you still do this?”

Something almost happened to her. If something really happened, how was she going to face Yanyan and herself?

She was already in such a situation and she still wanted her to tolerate and forgive?

“I know, it’s all my fault. It’s all Zhengyu’s fault. We’re all family, please be magnanimous!” Qiao Yuan’s heart ached.

She knew everything, but she still had to do this. It didn’t matter if she looked down on her or not. She couldn’t just watch things get worse.

“Second Auntie, don’t change the subject.” Song Xin looked straight into her eyes. “I’m asking you, what if my position was swapped with Yanyan? What would you do?”

Qiao Yuan struggled for a moment in her heart, she met her gaze and did not avoid it. “I would do the same!”

Even if it was Yanyan, she would do the same. She couldn’t let the Qiao family be driven into a corner and let them suffer.

She believed that Yanyan would understand and forgive her.

Song Xinxin was stunned for a moment before her lips curled up in mockery. She looked at the woman in front of her with undisguised disdain. “I understand. Second Aunt, you can go back. I won’t pursue this matter anymore.”

Great! She believed it. Even if it was Yanyan, her biological daughter, who had been wronged, she would choose to protect her family without hesitation.

She really didn’t know whether to sympathize with herself or Yanyan. Not only did she have a shameless uncle, she also had such a mother!

“Thank you.” After Qiao Yuan said that, she turned around and left. She did not dare to stay any longer and look at the girl’s questioning and sad mocking eyes.

She knew what she was like, she did not even want to face her current self. She was too despicable and shameless.

Ji Xing and Song Yiyan were playing games in the bedroom.

“Auntie is here.”

Song Yiyan hummed and continued playing her game, it was as if she didn’t care. Since she was already here, she could already guess what she was going to say.

The Qiao family was a vampire. The family of vampires wanted nothing more than to suck dry her blood and eat her flesh and bones.

She, on the other hand, was devoted to the Qiao family all the time.

Even though she was looked down upon by the Song family, she was still the same. She had never changed and had always maintained her original intentions!

Qiao Yuan paused outside for a moment. After sorting out her emotions, she knocked on the door symbolically.

Ji Xing was about to get up to open the door when Song Yiyan pulled him back. She glared at him and smiled helplessly, he reached out and grabbed her hand.

Qiao Yuan pushed the door open and entered. She saw her daughter lying on the bed with her head on Ji Xing’s leg. She thought for a moment before she said, “Yanyan, Ji Xing, I know that it’s your uncle’s fault regarding this matter, but he’s your uncle after all. Please forgive him this time for my sake!”

Song Yiyan didn’t say anything. She was enjoying her game.

Ji Xing did not speak either.

Qiao Yuan rubbed her hands in embarrassment. “I’ll definitely teach him a lesson. Things like today will never happen again.”

Song Yiyan suddenly turned her head away and said, “Mom, how many years have you been married into the Song family?”

Qiao Yuan was stunned for a moment. She did not expect her to ask this question. “Twenty-five years.”

Song Yiyan smiled brightly and asked, “At what age did you marry into the Song family?”

Qiao Yuan did not know what she wanted to say. “Nineteen.”

Song Yiyan counted on her fingers. “Nineteen and twenty-five. You’ve been married to the Song family for six whole years more than you stayed in the Qiao family!”

After saying that, she seemed to be very surprised.

Qiao Yuan frowned, and her expression was a little ugly. “Yanyan, it’s not the time to talk about this. Even if your uncle did something wrong, he’s your elder and your kin.”

Song Yiyan giggled. “Mom, you’re mistaken. He’s your relative. I don’t have a relative who can plot against me anytime and anywhere, I can’t afford it.”

Qiao Yuan hit a nail and became serious. “What do you want Mom to do? You want me to kneel on the ground and beg you to let your uncle go, right?”

Song Yiyan sighed, her eyes filled with sympathy. “Mom, you’ve spent so much more time in the Song family than in the Qiao family. You have to spend the rest of your life in the Song family, not in the Qiao family. You treat them as your family and relatives but what do they treat you as? They treat you as someone who they can leech off and would work hard without any complaints!”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Qiao Yuan was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at her and said, “Your maternal grandparents, your uncles, aunts, your cousins, which one of them didn’t treat you well? Why did you humiliate them and me?”

“I really want to know what kind of drug they gave you to make you help them for so long.” Song Yiyan was ready to tear off her last layer of disguise and stood up slowly. “You’re good to them. Have they ever thought about you?”

“Why didn’t you think of it before? Your grandparents raised me. Shouldn’t I be filial to them and repay them?” Qiao Yuan did not dare to think too deeply.

Over the years, she’d never dared to think too deeply about it. It was the only way to comfort herself that her maternal family cared about her and loved her and that she was important.

“Mom, you actually know what kind of people they are. They see you as something else.” Song Yiyan smiled. “If a real family member treats you well, they wouldn’t have made you lose face and forced you to ask your in-laws for things time and time again. They wouldn’t have caused you trouble repeatedly.

They will feel sorry for you and worry about whether you are living well in your in-laws’ house or if you are bullied. They will work hard and be proud of you. They won’t let you go to your in-laws’ house every time they are poor or lose their jobs.”
