Chapter 399 Don’t Forget What You Did Back Then
Ning Xueling first stared at Luo Haotian, then asked somewhat guiltily, "Why do we have to bring them home for the New Year this year?"
Luo Haotian looked down at her from above, "Since you haven’t bothered with them for the past twenty years, their affairs will no longer concern you from now on. All I hope is that you keep out of their way tomorrow, and it would be best if Xuyuan doesn’t see you."
Ning Xueling exploded with anger, "Luo Haotian, what do you mean by that? Why should I avoid him? Was it me who didn’t go to see them all these years? It was their grandparents who wouldn’t let me. Don’t you know that?"
Luo Haotian looked at Ning Xueling, "Don’t forget what you did back then. You hurt their hearts first, which led to everything that followed. Stop blaming others whenever something happens, and reflect on what you did instead."
Ning Xueling’s eyes reddened with anger, "I did wrong by them back then, but you know what my situation was. I was seven months pregnant with the third and fourth child and needed care myself, I had no energy to take care of them.
Besides, those words were said in the heat of the moment. If the second child took them seriously, you can’t blame it all on me, can you? So many years have passed, and you’re still holding onto it?"
Luo Haotian spoke with an embarrassed look, "I don’t want to argue with you. There’s no mother like you. You ruined their lives, yet here you are, righteously blaming others for not letting go, which is utterly unreasonable."
When Ning Xueling heard Luo Haotian say she was unreasonable, she trembled with rage, "Luo Haotian, you might as well just say that I shouldn’t come over and celebrate the New Year with you all tomorrow. That way, you can have a harmonious and joyous time."
Luo Siyuan watched his parents argue again over this matter and stood up to return to his room. He didn’t have many memories from when he was a child. It was not until middle school when his parents returned to Capital City, that he and his third brother came to live with them.
But because of the issues with his eldest and second brothers, his parents quarreled a lot. Each time, the more he tried to intervene, the fiercer they fought. He and his third brother had grown accustomed to it; their five siblings were indeed unfortunate, with such a cold-hearted mother.
She gave all the motherly love to an adopted daughter with whom she shared no blood relation. Reflecting on it was almost laughable. He and his third brother went to school early, and it was around the time Zhao Jianing had just started primary school when she returned to Capital City.
