Chapter 193 Original Sin 2
Yun Shuangshuang had no idea that her mother, Feng Jinyan, was actually the daughter of a wealthy family. Feng Jinyan’s parents were chairpersons of a major company in H City, and Feng Jinyan had been married and had given birth to a daughter. However, after her daughter was born, Feng Jinyan suffered from postnatal depression.
Although Feng Jinyan’s parents sought numerous doctors to treat their daughter, her postnatal depression worsened, and she started to exhibit manic behavior. Eventually, while her husband took her out to the mountains for a trip, Feng Jinyan went missing!
Feng Jinyan’s husband and parents searched everywhere for her, but unexpectedly, Feng Jinyan was taken in by Shuangshuang’s father to become his wife, and later Shuangshuang was born.
When Feng Jinyan’s parents saw Yun Shuangshuang, they could not conceal their disdain. The elderly couple harbored extreme resentment toward Father Yun for taking their daughter away, and although Feng Jinyan repeatedly spoke of Shuangshuang’s filial piety toward her, they disliked the child born during their daughter’s madness and did not allow Shuangshuang to call them grandparents at all.
Yun Shuangshuang was bewildered. She didn’t want to leave her mother, but her mother had a husband who waited for her lovingly without remarrying, and her mother already had a daughter — elegant, noble, like a princess.
As for herself, she had never been to school. She learned to read only by buying children’s and elementary school textbooks, begging people around her to teach her, gradually learning bit by bit.
She didn’t understand etiquette, didn’t know how to act nobly. The social finesse she learned from doing business seemed useless here. No one in this family liked her or welcomed her. Everyone looked at her as if she were dirt.
Yun Shuangshuang suffered discrimination and silent treatment in this house. She dared not show it, lest her mother, who was immersed in the joy of family reunion, would notice, because she had overheard her grandparents saying behind her back that she was born with original sin and should never have been born!
What is original sin? What does it mean? Yun Shuangshuang did not understand. She just wanted to be with her mother, to live happily and joyfully!
But Yun Shuangshuang realized that her existence was causing her mother unhappiness because her mother’s previous daughter hated and targeted her, while Feng Jinyan felt guilt toward this daughter who had not been by her side since childhood.
At the same time, Feng Jinyan also felt guilty toward her obedient younger daughter, Yun Shuangshuang, who helped her escape the Demon Cave. So every time the elder daughter targeted the younger daughter, she felt heartbroken for Shuangshuang. However, she could not reproach the elder daughter, which left Feng Jinyan always in a state of difficult decision and sorrow.
Yun Shuangshuang couldn’t bear to see her mother in such a predicament, and since she was already in her twenties, she reluctantly moved out, using the excuse of wanting to start a business. Of course, this excuse was just to ease Feng Jinyan’s sadness and grief over her departure. Others did not care about her leaving; in fact, without Yun Shuangshuang, they felt more comfortable and relieved.
After Yun Shuangshuang left, Feng Jinyan, worried about her younger daughter, would often visit her. These were the happiest days for Yun Shuangshuang, spending time with her mother, whose mind was clear as they chatted and traveled together, truly happy.
