Looking at Ling Chen, who remained silent, a hint of bitterness flickered in Yang Qingling's beautiful eyes.
"Do you... do you hate me very much?"
"No." Ling Chen responded calmly, "I never knew you, so why would I hate you?" After saying this, not waiting for Yang Qingling to respond, Ling Chen continued, "You don't need to feel like you owe me anything or feel guilty towards me. Honestly, I'm already very happy to see you."
Yang Qingling chuckled bitterly and said, "If you really were happy, you wouldn't be speaking to me in this tone. I know I owe you and your father so much, but I hope you can understand me. I was forced to leave you all. As a mother, if I could, I would give up everything to be by your side."
