Yan Erju looked at Wu Yanyun and just felt that her daughter was excessively strange.
Very strange.
Wu Jinshu realized something was off in the atmosphere and frowned as he spoke, "Yanyun, what nonsense are you talking about! She is your mother! Without her, there’d be no you! Even if you’re angry, you can’t talk to your mother like that!"
"Dad, do you think you’re not biased?" Wu Yanyun said, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Wu Jinshu. "You actually like Ni Yang too, right? In your heart, you wish Ni Yang was your daughter! Yes, how can someone as unsuccessful as me be fit to be your daughter! I’m sorry! I’ve disgraced you! Since you don’t like me, you shouldn’t have let her pick me up in the first place!"
Wu Yanyun had truly had enough.
These past days, she had been living in Ni Yang’s shadow. Everyone had been telling her to forgive Ni Yang, to forgive the Ni Family; if she didn’t, she would be seen as an ingrate!
But had they ever considered that she was the victim?
They had no right to accuse her!
Wu Jinshu took a deep breath. After all, he was a man, so his endurance was much better than Wu Yanyun’s. "Yanyun, you’re still young. When you grow older and have children of your own, when you become a parent, then you will know how difficult it is to raise a child! Go back to your room. You still have school tomorrow. Get some rest early tonight."
"Erju, let’s go back to our room too." Wu Jinshu took Yan Erju’s hand and walked back inside the house.
If the standoff continued, the conflict would roll on like a snowball, growing larger and larger.

"Erju, let’s go."
Wu Jinshu pulled Yan Erju back into the room and closed the door.
Yan Erju lay on the bed, sobbing deep and muffled cries.
For Wu Yanyun, in her younger days, she had endured so much from her mother-in-law.
But now Wu Yanyun was treating her like this...
No one could understand the sourness in her heart.
Wu Jinshu consoled her, "Erju, let it be. She’s just a child who hasn’t grown up yet. Just give it a few years, she will be fine. Why are you getting angry with your own child?"
"Look at me, I’m not angry at all. Actually, our Yanyun is very sensible, it’s just that she’s a bit confused at the moment. Everyone has impulsive moments; she didn’t do it on purpose."
Yan Erju was speechless, her shoulders trembling.
Is being non-biological really that significant?
How could this child say such things to her?
Wu Yanyun sniffed and ignored Wu Jinshu outside.
Wu Jinshu continued, "Yanyun, I’m coming in."
After a few seconds, Wu Jinshu pushed the door open from the outside.
Wu Yanyun acted as if she hadn’t heard these noises.
Wu Jinshu brought a small stool over and sat next to Wu Yanyun. "Yanyun, I’ve washed an apple for you. Do you want to eat one?"
Wu Yanyun said nothing.
Wu Jinshu went on, "Yanyun, I know you have difficulties and grievances, but you’re not the only one in pain. Whether it’s Yangyang or Yangyang’s mom, they have their own hardships. Born in a tough time, everyone had no choice."
Saying this, Wu Jinshu sighed, "If you don’t want to forgive them, your mom and I won’t force you. But child, we cannot be people without conscience."
"Think about it carefully. Should you really treat your mom with that attitude tonight? No matter what, she is the person who raised you single-handedly. Without her, you wouldn’t be here."
Perhaps it was this sentence that struck a nerve in Wu Yanyun, as she suddenly looked up at Wu Jinshu. "But I never begged you to raise me!"
Growing up, Wu Yanyun had never once resented her family situation.
Because she knew how hard it was for her parents to raise her.
