Zhao Siqing's heart ached, but she still forced herself to remain calm. She carried the food to the bedside.
"Mom, eat something, " Zhao Siqing said softly.
Yang Jingqiu glanced at her and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not your mom. "
Zhao Siqing paused slightly and looked at the dishes on the tray with tears in her eyes.
She picked up the Porridge Bowl and handed it to Yang Jingqiu. "Eat some. Didn't you always tell me that my body is mine? How can I not eat... "
Yang Jingqiu did not intend to reach out to take it. Zhao Siqing scooped up the porridge and brought it to her mouth. She looked at her and said softly, "eat a little, okay? "
Yang Jingqiu's gaze fell on her face. She looked at her and sneered, "is it meaningful to put on a show for a sarcastic woman like me? "
Zhao Siqing met her cold eyes and did not say anything. She just did not withdraw her hand.
Yang Jingqiu sneered, "go to the Gu family. They can give you everything you want. Those things are yours to begin with. There's no reason to let others have them. The Gu couple are your parents. You should be living in luxury. "
Yang Jingqiu's words made Zhao Siqing feel very uncomfortable.
She had never wanted those things. She did not have much, but she had enough.
When she was young, she had been greedy for her father's love, envied other people's families, and liked other people's mothers. She yearned for a simple and warm home, and wanted that simplest happiness.
But when she didn't get it when she wanted it, she didn't yearn for it so much after she grew up.
She had lived together with Yang Jingqiu for more than twenty years. Even though their disputes were always more than when they were amiable, she had long since stopped hoping for anything else.
She only wanted them and Zhao Yancheng's family of three to be together forever.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I TOLD YOU TO GET LOST! " Yang Jingqiu seemed to be a little impatient and said angrily.
"I don't know how to get lost, and I don't know how to get lost. Anyway, I don't want to get lost, " Zhao Siqing said softly and slowly replied to her word by word. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, but there was an unspeakable stubbornness in her eyes.
Yang Jingqiu laughed angrily and knocked over the bowl and spoon that Zhao Siqing had handed to her.
With a 'Bang' , the bowl and chopsticks fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
A large portion of the porridge spilled onto Zhao Siqing's arm, and in an instant, her fair arm turned red.
Huo Jingchen's pupils constricted, and his gaze became more malicious.
He quickly went forward and wiped the porridge off her hand, pulling her into the bathroom and rinsing her with cold water.
Her arm was washed by a large amount of cold water, but Zhao Siqing did not react.
Huo Jingchen looked at her and said in a deep voice, "let's go home. "
If she insisted on making Yang Jingqiu her mother, he would find a way to make Yang Jingqiu nod again.
However, she did not want to see Zhao Siqing grovel and suffer the humiliation of this crazy woman.
Zhao Siqing shook her head and looked at Huo Jingchen with red eyes. She said softly, "I'm not going back. I want to stay here with her. "
Huo Jingchen pursed his lips as if he was enduring something. His dark eyes looked straight at her without saying a word.
Zhao Siqing hugged him and said softly, "I only have one mother left... I can't lose her again. "
No matter how Yang Jingqiu treated her, she would not blame her.
It was just like how she had used the most vicious words to hurt her countless times.
But because she was her mother, no matter how sad she was, she never gave up or left her.
Now, she would do the same.
Huo Jingchen looked at her without making a sound. Zhao Siqing did not look at him anymore. She turned around and went back to Yang Jingqiu's bedroom.
At that moment, Zhao Yancheng was standing at the side and was about to say, "MOM... "
But who would have thought that Yang Jingqiu would interrupt him again as soon as he opened his mouth? She looked at him with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "don't call me mom either. I picked you up from the outside too. Don't you know that? "
Hearing that, Zhao Yancheng was silent for a few seconds. He slowly knelt in front of Yang Jingqiu and said in a deep voice, "mom. "
