Chapter 169: Familial Affection
“I’m going out for a walk,” Su Qingjun said to Madam White and turned to leave. However, just as she had turned halfway, Madam White suddenly called out to her, “Qingjun, come here and sit down. I have some things I want to discuss with you.”
Su Qingjun’s body stiffened. After a moment of hesitation, she furrowed her brows and spoke softly to Madam White, “Mother, I’m a bit pressed for time right now. Can we talk after I take care of this matter?”
Madam White stared at her, her expression gradually darkening. She said flatly, “Is there truly anything in this world more important than your parents?”
Su Qingjun was taken aback and speechless. She turned to face Madam White and said, “Mother, how could you think that? I have never had any disrespectful thoughts toward you.”
Madam White looked at her for a moment, then sighed deeply. “Good daughter, of course, I believe you. Come here,” she said, gesturing for Su Qingjun to come closer.
Su Qingjun hesitated but eventually walked over slowly.
Madam White stood up and gently embraced her daughter, showing a touch of affection on her face as she murmured, “In this world, is there really any parent who doesn’t love their own child? Qingjun, I am truly thinking of you.”
Su Qingjun was silent for a moment before saying, “Mother, I… still don’t quite understand what you mean.”
