Chapter 485 — Naming Her Grievances
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Mom, how could you say such reckless things? Wei Zhao and I are through, and you still call him your son-in-law -- aren't you embarrassing me?" After returning home, Tang Zhi felt very awkward, and a little ashamed.
Her small measure of self-respect made her unwilling to borrow Wei Zhao's name. He had already cast her off -- if she went around invoking his name, wouldn't that be shameless? Tang Zhi felt she had no place to hide herself.
"So what!" Mother Tang said, unbothered. "That Boss Zou doesn't know anyway. But tell me, daughter, is there still a chance for you and Wei Zhao? Why did he leave you?"
"That..." Tang Zhi felt rather embarrassed. It wasn't easy to talk about what had happened with Wei Zhao, especially with Xiaowei and Xiaodan present -- some things were all the harder to say.
"Xiaowei, Xiaodan, it's getting late. You two should head home too, and don't have any more contact with Boss Zou!" Mother Tang saw what Tang Zhi was thinking and turned to speak to Xiaowei and Xiaodan.
Xiaowei was also curious about why Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi had broken up, and in his heart he hoped they would get back together, so he wanted to stay and listen. But seeing his sister's expression, it seemed she had something difficult to say, and he had no way to stay. He stood up, took Xiaodan by the hand, and said, "Auntie, we'll be going now..."
"Mind how you go! Call Auntie when you get home!" After seeing Xiaowei and Xiaodan off, Mother Tang returned to the room, took her daughter's hand, and said, "Yun'er, this time tell me -- how on earth did the two of you break up? I thought Wei Zhao treated you quite well. This morning there wasn't the slightest hint of anything. How did it come to a breakup?"
"Mom... he already had a girlfriend before... and she transferred to our school, and she even sits at the same desk as him..." Tang Zhi found it hard to get the words out, but under her mother's pressing, she still blushed and gritted her teeth and said it, feeling deeply wronged: "...You tell me, if he already had a girlfriend, why did he come and provoke me?"
Mother and daughter were of one heart; before her mother, Tang Zhi shed the toughness she had shown earlier, buried herself in her mother's arms, and wept with grievance.
"Yun'er, don't cry." Mother Tang sighed, thinking to herself, so that was how it was -- much as she had guessed. It wasn't that Wei Zhao no longer liked her daughter; rather, the rightful owner had come charging in and forced Wei Zhao to break up with her daughter!
"Mom, how can he be so awful? He had a girlfriend and still came to provoke me? I'm so humiliated -- how am I supposed to hold my head up from now on?" The more Tang Zhi spoke, the more wronged she felt.
"Yun'er, ah!" Mother Tang sighed. "It's all my fault, all because our family is poor. If our family were rich too, Wei Zhao wouldn't have been able to break up with you! This girlfriend of his -- she must come from a very wealthy family, right? I'm afraid his family found her for him?"
"...She drives a sports car to school..." Tang Zhi nodded; she wasn't lying, at least.
'I knew it! Otherwise, why would Wei Zhao, perfectly fine as he was, break up with you?" Mother Tang stroked her daughter's lovely hair and shook her head. 'Has his girlfriend come to see you?"
"Yes, she came to see me..." At the mention of Feng Xiaoxiao, Tang Zhi felt even more wronged. "His girlfriend called me tactless, and said that at first she took pity on me and was going to let me be the mistress. But since I wanted to monopolize Wei Zhao, she wouldn't even let me be the mistress..." Hmph, who wants to be anyone's mistress!
