"Your mother actually had a tough time too. On one hand, she was happy to have snatched me away, but on the other, she worried that if I could betray Zhao Yulan, I could betray her too. So, she was always living in fear and anxiety."
However, her circumstances told her that despite her doubts about me, she couldn't afford to create a scene at my workplace. That could have ruined all my hard work, so instead, she directed her attacks toward Zhao Yulan."
She didn't genuinely believe that Zhao Yulan posed a threat to her, but she needed a way to vent. Zhao Yulan, with no significant background, was an easy target—she could lash out however she wanted, with no irreversible consequences."
I didn't stop her because I hoped it would allow her to vent those negative emotions that couldn't be expressed in front of others. Otherwise, with your mom's temperament, none of us would have been able to live peacefully."
