NovelEnglishChapter 326: Back then
Ding Rong had never understood why the child she had raised for 18 years had become a complete stranger in just half a year…
She sat down on the small sofa in the dressing room and stopped sizing up Huo You. She said softly, “Take a seat first. Don’t be standing.”
Huo You maintained her careful attitude and sat down at a place that was neither too far nor too close to Ding Rong. It was as if she had been thinking for a long time before she summoned up the courage to ask, “You don’t blame me for having said the wrong thing?”
Ding Rong did not answer Huo You’s question immediately. She was silent for a while, making Huo You feel unsettled…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as Huo You felt that the atmosphere was too tense and was about to say something to ease the overly tense atmosphere, Ding Rong spoke.
Ding Rong’s voice was like a calm breeze in the mountains. She told Huo You about the past that she didn’t know about. “Huo You, there’s no longer any mother and daughter relationship between us…”
Huo You’s heart ached instinctively when she heard her say this in such a calm tone.
If it were in the past, Huo You might have flown into a rage out of humiliation when Ding Rong said such heartless words to Huo You. She might have just said that she would never have anything to do with the poor Ding Family…
However, the difference in their statuses prevented Huo You from treating Ding Rong, who she had been anxious to get rid of in the past, with a superior attitude.
She opened her mouth to say something. At least at this moment, she did not want to hear such heartless words from Ding Rong’s mouth.
However, Ding Rong did not give Huo You a chance to speak. Her gaze did not land on Huo You either but was lowered to look down at a teacup on the table.
She continued unhurriedly, “Back then, you secretly did a DNA test with the Huo Family and affirmed your relationship with them. Then, you packed your things and left with them without a word. Only then did I find out what was going on. Do you know that the feeling for a single mother to find out that the daughter she had painstakingly raised for 18 years wasn’t her biological daughter is very complicated and painful? Even before I could accept this, you had already left with them.”
Although Ding Rong’s tone was very calm, Huo You could imagine her breakdown when she heard the news from her calm words.
Only then did Huo You feel a little guilty. She whispered, “I’m sorry…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Ding Rong didn’t blame Huo You at all. “You don’t have to apologize. It’s been so long, and I’ve gotten over it. Actually, after you left with the Huo Family, I went to the Huo Family. On the one hand, I wanted to have a good chat with you, but on the other hand, I wanted to know about Tiantian’s true situation. Actually, at that time, I was already mentally prepared. I felt that neither you nor Tiantian would be able to return to my side…”
Upon hearing this, Huo You looked up at Ding Rong in surprise. She looked a little unbelievable and asked with a frown, “I didn’t know you had been to the Huo Family.”
Ding Rong smiled and was not surprised by this. “This is not surprising. Your biological parents don’t want you to have anything to do with me. Back then, they warned me to be clear about my identity and not get involved with you at all. I remember very clearly that Mrs. Huo had deliberately let me hear your conversation with her…”
As Ding Rong explained, Huo You seemed to remember that memory, and her expression became a little dazed…
It was when the result of the DNA test had just come out. Huo You left the urban village with the Huo Family and returned to the Huo Family’s villa.
Back then, in order to make a perfect appearance at the banquet later, Huo You had been learning etiquette from the Huo Family’s teachers. She didn’t know that Ding Rong had even found her way to the villa and had an unhappy conversation with Mrs. Huo.
Huo You only knew that halfway through her etiquette class, Mrs. Huo asked the teacher to bring her to the small reception room beside the greenhouse. She then suddenly and strangely asked herself a question, “Youyou, you’ve been with Madam Ding for 18 years. Even a dog would have developed feelings. Do you have any reluctance to part with her? If you still treat her as your mother in your heart, I can make a concession and let you continue to keep in contact with her. To the public, we’ll call her the godmother we have you acknowledged. How about that?”
At that time, Huo You only wanted to stabilize her position in the Huo Family as soon as possible.. She knew how to answer the question that was most beneficial for her…
