In this era, reputation was the most important thing to a person. If people knew that Xia You was bringing up a child outside, only those in the know would say that she was a very kind person. Those who did not know better would spread rumors that Xia You had an illegitimate child outside! It would cause chaos in her life.
"Sigh… I have wronged you. I thought… Fortunately, I didn't act rashly. Xia You, Mom is in the wrong. I shouldn't have distrusted you." Liu Fen looked at Xia You apologetically.
Xia You said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, what are you talking about! I'm your daughter. It's alright even if you hit me and scold me!"
Liu Fen and Xia You went home after dinner. Qiao Mei had been busy with family matters recently and had not been able to deal with work matters. She returned to the study and read all the letters she received as well as the contracts submitted by the subsidiary companies.
