Chapter 227 Mother and Daughter Showdown
"He's our family's greatest benefactor! He saved Grandma's life! Without him, Grandma might already be..."
The old man didn't say anything more, but just looked lovingly at his granddaughter who was completely stunned.
"Youyou, I heard from your mother that he's your senior from school, right? Such a nice kid, do you... know him?"
Every word Zhou Xiulan uttered was like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploding in Shen Youyou's mind one after another!
It's not about trying to please...
It's not about giving up...
Instead... help?!
The man she mistook for someone who tried to bribe her mother, the man she treated as her "master," not only didn't harm her family, but instead... saved her grandmother and her entire family in an unimaginable way?
Adoration, gratitude, love, shame, regret...
Countless complex emotions, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly overwhelmed all her psychological defenses.
My mind is blank.
She finally understood that she had completely misunderstood her mother.
It turns out that Ning Xiuyang was not only her master, but also her family's...savior.
Zhou Xiulan's words were like a key, unlocking all the mysteries, but also opening a Pandora's box.
Shen Youyou stood there blankly, her mind reeling.
At this moment, Ning Xiuyang's image in her mind underwent a complete transformation.
He was no longer just a rich, domineering master whom she both loved and feared.
He became an omnipotent, godlike being.
A benefactor who saved the lives of her loved ones.
This kindness is as heavy as Mount Tai.
She realized that she and her mother would probably never escape that man's grasp for the rest of their lives.
Instead of struggling, instead of suffering, why not... accept it?
When the old woman herself broke through this barrier, the atmosphere in the living room became incredibly awkward and delicate.
Shen Yourong blushed deeply, lowered her head, and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands, like a middle school student caught having a crush by her parents, who didn't dare to look her daughter in the eye.
After the initial shock, Shen Youyou surprisingly calmed down.
She remained silent for a long time, then helped the old woman back to bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently comforted her with a few words before turning around and leaving the room, closing the door behind her.
In the living room, Shen Yourong still stood there awkwardly, like a child who had made a mistake.
Shen Youyou walked up to her, sat down on the sofa, and looked up quietly at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her.
This is her mother.
But she is also a woman.
Yes, I seem to have forgotten that my mother has never had a life of her own all these years because she has been taking care of me and my grandmother. In fact, she is also a girl, she is also my grandmother's daughter. She needs love more than I do, a love that goes straight to the bone!
Seeing her mother's ashamed and distraught expression, as if the sky were about to fall, Shen Youyou suddenly felt relieved.
She spoke calmly, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching Shen Yourong's ears.
"mom."
Shen Yourong trembled all over, slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and pleading.
I know you like him.
Shen Youyou's gaze was clear and calm, without a trace of anger or accusation. "I like him too."
boom!
Shen Yourong stared at her daughter in shock, her mind blank.
She had anticipated all sorts of reactions from her daughter: anger, crying, disdain, a complete break... but she never imagined that it would be such a calm, almost frighteningly calm, "I like him too."
Seeing her mother's shocked expression, Shen Youyou took a deep breath, as if making a major decision, and continued:
"I don't know who went first or who went last, and I don't want to know anymore."
Her voice carried a hint of resignation and relief that she herself was unaware of.
"Mom, he is our benefactor, none of us can live without him."
"In that case, from now on... let's continue as before, okay?"
We're still the same as before.
These words were like a warm current, instantly melting all the ice in Shen Yourong's heart.
She looked into her daughter's clear and open eyes, which held no contempt or hatred, but only an understanding and acceptance that transcended worldly ethics.
She understood what her daughter meant.
They are still mother and daughter, the closest people in the world.
However, their relationship now involves a shared man.
Tears, which she could no longer hold back, streamed down Shen Yourong's face.
But this time, it wasn't shame or pain, but the feeling of being understood and accepted.
She looked at her daughter, and finally, with tears in her eyes, nodded heavily.
A crisis that could have devastated the entire family was quietly resolved through this silent exchange of glances and tacit understanding.
A secret and strong mother-daughter alliance was officially formed at this moment.
Seeing that her mother had finally let down her guard, Shen Youyou's heart was completely at ease.
She wiped away her tears, and then an incredibly audacious idea popped into her mind.
Now that we've already laid our cards on the table, why not... go all the way?
She wanted that man to know that they had reached an agreement.
Under Shen Yourong's shocked gaze, Shen Youyou picked up her phone, unlocked the screen in front of her, and found that familiar profile picture.
Then, she pressed the video call button.
She was about to make a bold decision that would shock both her mother and the man.
She wants to take the initiative and confront them!
……
Ning Xiuyang had just returned to his apartment.
As soon as the door opened, a petite figure rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest.
"elder brother!"
Tang Wei tilted her head back, her clear eyes filled with dependence and affection, and hugged his waist tightly, as if only in this way could she dispel all the gloom left in her heart by the Li Mingfeng incident.
These days have been like purgatory for her.
It was Ning Xiuyang who completely pulled her out of that quagmire.
Ning Xiuyang's heart softened, and he took the opportunity to hug the pitiful yet adorable girl, gently patting her back and enjoying this moment of warmth.
He was just about to say something.
"Buzz...buzz..."
My phone, which was in my pocket, vibrated again at an inopportune moment.
He took it out and saw the words "Youyou" jumping happily on the screen, still a video call request.
Ning Xiuyang was somewhat surprised.
How long has it been? They actually dare to attack again?
Are you prepared to continue making a scene through the screen, or have you prepared your words to question yourself?
A playful smile appeared on his lips as he casually pressed the answer button in front of Tang Wei, who was in his arms.
The video call was connected.
However, the scene that appeared on the screen surprised Ning Xiuyang.
In the scene, Shen Youyou and Shen Yourong are sitting side by side on the sofa.
The camera was very close, and you could clearly see the expressions on their faces.
Shen Yourong's pretty face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, her long eyelashes trembled nervously, and her head was lowered, not daring to look at the camera at all. Her shy and helpless appearance made people feel sorry for her.
But Shen Youyou, who was next to her, was a completely different person.
She swept away her previous panic and anger, her small face tense, staring intently at Ning Xiuyang on the screen with a hint of provocation.
