Chapter 155 - It's Useless!
Zhao Yun was in tears, consumed by a profound anger that drove her to weep. Her tears had already run dry from the previous day's crying, and now, upon hearing these words, she felt herself crumble, unsure of how to react.
Even though she wanted to cry, it seemed like no one paid her any attention. Her own son had eloped with her, leaving her feeling abandoned. Did Huo Qingyue no longer want her as his mother? Lin Chuchu had spoken so casually, almost as if she believed it all. With a proud demeanor, she offered solace, saying, “Auntie, please don't be upset. This situation is undeniably absurd. However, rest assured that my father will be away on a business trip to the north city in the next couple of days. Once he's there, I'll ask him to track them down and talk to them. I won't let them have a quick reconciliation without consequences. I won't just let him take her away like this. I wonder… what will happen when they return?”
Zhao Yun's anger was so intense that her entire body trembled. She pounded the table and clenched her teeth, declaring, “What options do we have now? If I discover that they've returned… I'll first give that woman a piece of my mind! If I ask them to divorce, they must divorce! They had the audacity to run away. I must have been blind to choose Gu Yuehuan. If only I hadn't taken an interest in that woman… Well, there's no use lamenting it now. Who can blame her for not being able to conceive? No wonder she couldn't bear a son. She's heartless, and it's karma!”
Hearing this, Lin Chuchu gently guided her to sit on the bed. Zhao Yun was devoid of strength and too feeble to speak. Lin Chuchu helped her lie down and assured her, “Auntie, I can tell that you're not feeling well. It's likely from the anger you experienced yesterday. You haven't eaten, have you? I'll go prepare some porridge for you. I'm quite proficient at cooking, so please wait while I whip up something delicious for you.” f reewe bfreeweb . com
Lin Chuchu could only manage to prepare plain porridge and some pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs. It was a modest meal, but it was all she could muster. She brought it to Zhao Yun and gently persuaded, “Auntie, I understand that you may not have the appetite right now. However, you mustn't neglect your health either. If you let your body deteriorate, won't that be playing into that woman's hands? If she sees you in this state, she might ridicule you. You need to prepare yourself physically before confronting her!”
Zhao Yun pondered these words and recognized their wisdom. Allowing her body to weaken like this would only serve to fulfill that woman's desires. With that realization, she picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the plain porridge in front of her. contemporary romance
Despite her limited appetite, she reluctantly consumed two plain bowls of porridge. Lin Chuchu helped her pack her belongings, deliberately putting on an impressive display of diligence. No matter how hard she tried, it was clear that she lacked basic household skills, struggling to even fold a simple blanket. She seemed to lead a sheltered life, quite unlike someone experienced in managing their own affairs.
“Auntie, allow me to boil some water for you. It's quite late, and you should take a soothing shower. Please, try to calm down. I promise you, I'll convince my father to bring Yue back. I won't let them abandon you. If, by any chance, they dare to do so, I'm willing to dedicate my life to caring for you as if you were my own mother.”
Lin Chuchu's unexpected declaration left Zhao Yun in shock. She hadn't anticipated such a heartfelt statement from her, and this revelation made her look at Lin Chuchu with a sense of wonder and disbelief.
The old man possessed a keen judgment of character, sensing that there was more to this situation than met the eye. In these circumstances, it was evident that Lin Chuchu's actions were considerate and thoughtful.
Zhao Yun gently patted Lin Chuchu's hand and said, “You need not go to such lengths. The current situation speaks for itself. There is no familial connection between us, and it's implausible that you would come here just to gain favor with me. Qingyue has also fallen under the influence of that wicked woman. Aside from her, no one heeds my words, not even my own biological mother's. No matter how hard you try to ingratiate yourself, I won't allow you two to be together.”
