Chapter 1123: Chapter 1165: The Worst Decision

"It’s my fault, I failed you. I once said that if you couldn’t take care of her alone, I was willing to help you! But soon after you got pregnant, I married your sister-in-law! You know, your sister-in-law is narrow-minded, she controls everything I do! As a result, you were left with no choice, couldn’t abort the child, and she wouldn’t let me help you! I regret it very much, I shouldn’t have persuaded you to give birth to Yueyue, otherwise you wouldn’t have been trapped for fifteen years! Now... she’s disappointing too, turning into a troubled teenager! Fortunately, you’ve met your current husband, he truly loves you! At least it compensates for the regret in everyone’s hearts!" After hearing the first part of Ling Shenglan’s words, Ling’s father secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If Ling Shenglan still harbors resentment towards Ling Yueyue, then one day when she discovers what they did to Yueyue, at least she wouldn’t hate them too much!

Sadly, just after Ling’s father breathed a sigh of relief, listening to Ling Shenglan’s following words, his heart couldn’t stay calm anymore.

"Five years ago, I thought my feelings towards Yueyue were only hatred, no love. I nearly transferred all my resentment towards that man onto her, which is why I resolutely left for abroad with Xiao Feng, leaving Yueyue alone in Jin City! I thought, as long as I raised her to adulthood, until she could find a job and take care of herself, then my duty as a mother would be completed! When I first went abroad, I was indeed happy, satisfied without the burden of Yueyue! But soon after, I became pregnant with Xiao Jie, watching him grow day by day in my arms, memories of Yueyue in my arms involuntarily surfaced in my mind! As time went by, I missed her more and more, until I nearly went insane missing her! That’s why, six months ago, I couldn’t help but return to the country, hoping to see her. If she’d agree to leave with me, I would take her without hesitation, let her stay by my side!" Ling Shenglan said chokingly.

Five years ago, when she just went abroad, she truly believed she could finally rid herself of the burden that was Yueyue. She felt that she had given Yueyue the living expenses for the next few years, thus completing her duty!

After going abroad, she decisively changed her phone number, simply to prevent Yueyue from contacting her, she wanted to cut ties with Yueyue completely!

However, after the second child was born, she realized the importance of Yueyue in her heart!

But once she realized Yueyue’s importance, tried calling the house they used to live in to find Yueyue, she found the number was disconnected!

She also called her brother and sister-in-law, hoping they’d give her Yueyue’s contact information! But they said, to focus on studying, Yueyue was never given a phone, and where she stayed didn’t have a phone either! Every time, it was Yueyue who took the initiative to call home!

She wanted her brother and sister-in-law to give Yueyue her new phone number, but she didn’t have the courage!

After all, she left so decisively, even changed her phone number completely, Yueyue would certainly blame her in her heart! So, she held back!

Thus, she spent these five years struggling with the days missing Yueyue! Half a year ago, she finally couldn’t bear it any longer, came back to look for Yueyue, only to receive a shocking revelation from her brother and sister-in-law!

At that time, she regretted very much, felt remorseful, self-reproached! She thought it was her fault Yueyue became a troubled teenager, fighting, causing trouble, being expelled!

Because in her memory, although Yueyue had a boyish personality, liked to fight with others, it didn’t seem to reach the point of no return, fighting and causing trouble! If not for her leaving, Yueyue wouldn’t have turned like that with no one to guide her!

Therefore, she felt guilty, really guilty! She placed an ad to find her, hoping to properly make up for the debt she owed her all these years!

As a result, after half a year of fruitless search, she was disheartened, prepared to leave, but met Yueyue the day before leaving, simultaneously uncovering the conspiracy hidden beneath her brother and sister-in-law’s lies!

She couldn’t understand why her brother and sister-in-law did this to her, how could they?! They not only embezzled all the living expenses she gave Yueyue, but also made her fifteen-year-old daughter go out to work, not only that, they shamelessly demanded the hard-earned money Yueyue earned from working!

The more she thought, the sadder she got, the sadder she got, the more tears flowed!

Sitting on the side, Ling’s father had no clue what was going through Ling Shenglan’s mind, only felt guilty and self-reproachful hearing Ling Shenglan talk about remembering Yueyue, but felt helpless, could only offer comfort, "Shenglan, it’s my fault, not taking good care of Yueyue, costing you your daughter! But since things have come to this point, I don’t know what to say, if you want to blame someone, blame me! I will have no complaints!"

Ling Shenglan wiped away her tears, looked at Ling’s father, sniffed, and asked, "Brother, do you remember, when I was young and had an unplanned pregnancy, you didn’t want my life to be ruined, so you had Yueyue register her household under your name, letting everyone believe Yueyue was your child?"

"Yes! I didn’t want others to know you had an unplanned pregnancy, nor did I want you to ruin your lifetime happiness for a child, so I let you register Yueyue’s household under my name, making everyone believe Yueyue was my child! I still remember, for that matter, I discussed with your sister-in-law for a long time, she initially refused to agree, and I pleaded with her for a long time until she agreed!" Saying the last sentence, Ling’s father intentionally glanced at Ling Shenglan.

He said it with the simple purpose of reminding Ling Shenglan how much effort he put into registering Yueyue’s household. Simultaneously telling Ling Shenglan to be grateful to him!

He spoke this way entirely out of fear that one day Ling Shenglan would know the truth, and remember his kindness, and not blame him!

"Indeed! I remember very clearly, if it wasn’t for my brother threatening my sister-in-law with divorce, she definitely wouldn’t agree to register Yueyue’s household under your name!" Ling Shenglan purposely paused here, took a deep breath, shifted her tone, and suddenly said, "Yet, this remains the most erroneous decision of my life, precisely because of my selfishness, my daughter ended up like this!"

Upon hearing these words from Ling Shenglan, Ling’s father’s heart skipped a beat, puzzled he asked, "What? What do you mean by that?"

Ling Shenglan solemnly gazed at Ling’s father, stern-faced, seriously said, "Brother, we’ve been siblings for decades, do you still intend to deceive me?"
