"Yinan, actually, I've been meaning to tell you this, but I'm afraid it might peel back old wounds, so I have been keeping it in my heart…"
Mrs. Cheng paused and sighed before continuing.
"Please don't blame Qingchong when she lost the baby from her accidental fall at her company; she didn't mean it. It was an accident.
"That her first time pregnant, and she was too careless. I know it sounds like I'm siding with Qingchong because I'm her mother, but she was also very saddened by the miscarriage, so please don't blame her. I'm so worried that you will blame her, so please don't…"
Listening to her mother, Cheng Qingchong's head lowered even more. She gripped the pair of chopsticks tightly and suppressed the rising urge to dash out the room. She was ravaged by guilt. This was her plot, but it had caused her mother such unnecessary worry.
