Chapter 164: Mom, Once.

The phrase ‘for Qianshu’ successfully diverted all the blame and anger on Shen Qianshu. Shen Xiong subconsciously felt that Shen Qianshu was the one inciting a fight, and Fang Xia looked at Shen Qianshu disappointingly. Shen Qianshu scoffed at Shen Lin.

“Shen Lin, being hated by others may be due to you having a hateful countenance.”

Shen Lin clenched her teeth and appeared wronged. Then, she leaned closer towards Fang Xia.

Fang Xia stared at Shen Qianshu coldly. “Qianshu, Xiao Lin cares a lot about you and is always speaking for you at home. How could you hurt her like this?”

“Mom…” Shen Qianshu paused. “Madam Shen, in your eyes, your biological daughter is always cute and obedient. If she felt wronged, I’m the domineering monster who is unreasonable and rebellious. Whenever conflicts arise, it’s always my fault, huh? You raised me… loved me for eighteen years, but you don’t even understand me.”

“Stop!” Fang Xia yelled at her to stop her from continuing.

Li Zhiyuan scanned through all of them harshly and said, “All of you may not want Shen Qianshu, but I want her. Let me tell you, she’s a gem that I care for. You may offend me, but if you dare offend her, I, Li Zhiyuan, will resort to anything to do her justice. Get lost and stop interrupting me on my date.”

Shen Xiong’s face seemed even unhappier as he glared at Shen Qianshu hatefully. The family had come out for a meal happily, yet they lost face because of CEO Li. That made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Shen Lin’s hate was overflowing, but she did not show it on her face.

Fang Xia said, “Go on, have your meal.”

Lin Xuan stared coldly at Shen Qianshu and said, “CEO Li, you are wooing Shen Qianshu, but do you know how many guys she has unclear relationships with? Do you know who she sold herself to back then? If you knew…”

“No one is wooing you, so you are jealous of my Qianshu for having someone to woo her every day, huh? This proves that I have great taste, and I’m glad to support her. What can you do about it?”

Lin Xuan was in a great fury, and Shen Lin pulled him away.

If it were not for the fact that she had made a reservation a week ago and rarely came here, she wished she could leave immediately.

Shen Qianshu, Shen Qianshu!

Always lingering around me, why do I see Shen Qianshu everywhere I go?

After the people had left, Li Zhiyuan smiled at Shen Qianshu like an attention-seeking child wanting to be praised. “Qianshu, I helped you vent your anger. Are you glad?”

“Thank you.”

Thank you, for protecting my dignity.

She no longer wished to return to the Shen Family and never wished to find her family again. It was just a pity that what was once a family had become people who glared at each other spitefully at every meeting.

“I’m going to the washroom.”

Shen Qianshu got up and left the restaurant. As she walked along the aisle where she could see schools of colorful fish swimming around from the glass, she felt bitter in her heart. She once had the best parents in the world who loved and doted on her before.

But they also treated her very cruelly.

So cruel, as if they were enemies.

But she did not hate them.

Love and hate had never been countable.

“Qianshu…” Fang Xia looked at her from nearby, just looking at her with a cold look on her face.

“Mom…”

Fang Xia gave an agonized smile and walked closer towards her. “I never thought that you would still be willing to call me mom. Back then when I hit you at the hospital, I’ve actually always regretted doing that.”

She had raised her for eighteen years. Even if their relationship had turned stale, she had never lifted a finger on Qianshu.

“You were still young, yet you had a child when you were unmarried. I’m worried about your future. I never thought that my daughter would do something so despicable, I’m disappointed. I…”

“Mom, I know.” Shen Qianshu cut her off hurriedly. She did not really want to hear her remorseful words.

“You don’t understand.”
