Wen Fei was startled by Gu Yuan's reaction.
She took half a step back, but saw Gu Yuan approaching, clutching her shoulder and urgently asking, "Mom, say what you just said again."
Wen Fei pushed Gu Yuan away: "Are you crazy!"
"Mom, I beg you..."
Just as Wen Fei pushed Gu Yuan away, she heard a near-pleading sentence. At this moment, there was no command, no high-handedness; Gu Yuan was begging her...
Wen Fei was clearly a bit dazed. She had never considered herself Gu Yuan's biological mother because since giving birth to her, from the very beginning, she hadn't fulfilled any maternal responsibilities.
One could even say she was unworthy.
But her guilt towards Gu Yuan was something she never wanted to admit.
The more Gu Yuan sneered at her, the more justified she felt. But at this moment, Gu Yuan's plea made her feel an urgent unease.
"...What do you want to hear?" Wen Fei asked her.
As she asked, she realized Gu Yuan's eyes were already red.
