Mrs. Mo closed her mouth and seemed to avoid making eye contact.
Gu Shengyin then spoke, "Don't say things like that to me, as if you actually cared about me."
This was Mo Beiye's first time talking back to her mother.
Before high school, she revered and admired Mrs. Mo.
But after learning the truth in high school, despite being deeply hurt, she would usually just ignore Mrs. Mo's cold words.
This was the first time she outright clashed with her.
Mrs. Mo's face flashed with guilt upon hearing this, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
"Mo Beiye, is this how you talk to your mother? All the manners I've taught you over the years fed to the dogs? Your heart's just not with us!"
In her mind, no matter how well you raise a daughter, she belongs to others' families, so they won't share your heart.
She always felt she wasn't wrong, and Gu Shengyin's attitude only reinforced her beliefs.
Gu Shengyin listened indifferently to these comments.
