Gu Ruochu stared blankly at Zhang Yuan and felt a sense of loneliness overwhelm her. "Other mothers protect all their children, but you're biased towards Ning Tangxi.
"I'm so glad that I was already married when you found me. If I had to stay with the Ning family, I think that Ning Tangxi would bully me all the time."
Gu Ruochu was disappointed by Zhang Yuan's favoritism towards Ning Tangxi.
Zhang Yuan did not dare to look directly into Gu Ruochu's eyes. However, she did not think that she was in the wrong. She felt that Gu Ruochu had trusted the wrong person.
Why would her daughter choose to help an outsider over Ning Tangxi?
Cheng Xi's hand was permanently injured. Everyone in the Ning family felt heartbroken by the child's injury.
If Gu Ruochu was indeed Zhang Yuan's daughter, why couldn't she understand the Ning family's pain?
"Ruochu, why are you so stubborn? I know that I abandoned you, but I'm still your mother. I won't hurt you! Xu Yichen is not a good person! He succeeded in hurting Cheng Xi, and he will hurt you in the future."
Unfortunately for Zhang Yuan, Gu Ruochu's eyes became even more determined and cold. She straightened her body and glowered, "Madam Ning, take your daughter and leave. From now on, we will never see each other again. Just pretend that I don't exist. After all, you were the one who threw me away in the first place."
Gu Ruochu chocked as she finished her statement.
"Ruochu, are you rejecting your parents?" Zhang Yuan finally panicked, and tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks. "Are you severing ties with me because of Xu Yichen?"
"Ruochu, why are you so insensible?" Ning Tangxi asked in a concerned tone. She was secretly pleased to see that Zhang Yuan had stayed on her side even though Gu Ruochu was her biological daughter.
"Ning Tangxi, this is between me and Zhang Yuan. Shut your mouth and stand aside!" Gu Ruochu shouted angrily at her.
"I don't want a mother like you! You can't tell right from wrong, and you only like to dote on your adopted daughter!" Gu Ruochu growled in a low voice. She clenched her fists and looked at Zhang Yuan coldly. "I know that Yichen will always protect me. You claim that we have a blood relationship, but you are cold and stiff in your bones! Put away your ridiculous claim to be my mother. I don't need you!"
Gu Ruochu was fed up with Zhang Yuan and her scheming daughter.
When she thought about it, Zhang Yuan and Zhou Yunxi had the same traits.
Huo Nanchen reached out and pulled Gu Ruochu into his embrace. His hand gently patted her back.
"Why would you say that about your sister and I! We're your family. We have no bias against you. First of all, shouldn't your friend be sentenced for breaking Cheng Xi's hand?"
Zhang Yuan was at a loss. When she saw Gu Ruochu's increasingly cold face, she was shocked.
"Madam Ning, don't spout your nonsense anymore!" Gu Ruochu looked at Zhang Yuan mockingly. "Your preferential treatment towards Ning Tangxi is exactly how Zhou Yunxi treated Gu Yanwei. Back then, I didn't want Zhou Yunxi to be my mother, and now, I don't want you either.
"That's it! From now on, I want nothing to do with the Ning family." Gu Ruochu paused and corrected herself. "Actually, I didn't want anything to do with your family in the first place."
"Ruochu, do you want to sever your relationship with me because of this matter?" Zhang Yuan was provoked, and her emotions overwhelmed her. "Listen to how heartless and hurtful your words are. Do you want to treat me like this? Ruochu, you have no conscience!"
