Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 275 You're willing to accept it, but I'm not!

"Mom, what are you doing with your passport?"

When Nan Zhiyi woke up, she saw Nan Yun packing her luggage, with her passport and Spanish ID card placed in the most conspicuous place on the coffee table.

"go back."

The Southern Rhyme uses '回' instead of '走'.

She had no attachment to this country anymore.

Perhaps, from the moment she decided to leave ten years ago, Spain was her destined home.

"Mom! You and Yan haven't settled things yet, are you really leaving?" Nan Yun couldn't accept her mother's sudden decision.

Nan Yun felt utterly hopeless: "She...she will never forgive me. I know what kind of person my daughter is. No one can change her mind once she's made up her mind."

Nan Yun also knew how much harm she had caused Wen Yan. After being provoked several times, she was able to accept Wen Yan's rejection of her.

"Zhiyi, Mommy is... reaping what she sowed."

Nan Zhiyi shook her head and grabbed Nan Yun's hand: "Mommy! We've done so much, are you just going to give up like this? Are you willing to accept it? Even if you are, I'm not!"

Nan Yun stopped packing her luggage and slowly raised her eyes: "What are you unwilling to accept?"

Her tone was calm, but her eyes were sharp, which startled Nan Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi, I can spoil you and dote on you for everything else, but I've already felt so bad for Zhizhi. Please don't make things difficult for Mommy, okay?"

That's a euphemistic way of putting it. The plain translation is: You'd better not compete with Wen Yan for anything, she won't allow it!

"I once heard a saying that guilt is the greatest favor you can show to someone." Nan Zhiyi looked at Nan Yun with some sadness. "Mommy, is it because you feel guilty towards Yan now that she will always hold a place in your heart more than me for the rest of your life?"

“You are all my daughters, and you are all very important to me.” Knowing that Nan Zhiyi lacked a sense of security, Nan Yun added, “Zhiyi, I have been by your side all these years, and I will continue to be by your side in the future.”

What's the point of staying with them?

Isn't this a forced choice?

She chose to stay with her because she was sick; but staying with her now would mean Wen Yan is abandoning her as a mother, wouldn't it?

Nan Zhiyi had no doubt that if Wen Yan made just one phone call, Nan Yun would abandon her and return to Wen Yan's side!

"Mommy, can you give me three more days? Let's leave in three days. I want to go back to Imperial University to see my friends," Nan Zhiyi said.

Nan Yun hesitated for two seconds, then nodded.

The farce at the banquet at the Gu family's old mansion spread like wildfire within high society circles.

Since the news couldn't be kept secret, the focus shifted to spreading information about herself and her desired direction. With Madam Gu's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the discussion quickly moved from Nan Yun's "resurrection" to Wen Yan's pitiful yet decisive nature, concluding that it was right for her not to acknowledge her mother!

Several wives even admired Wen Yan's decisiveness, believing that this was the kind of courage and resilience a future matriarch should have, far exceeding that of her peers.

into the night.

Gu Yanci was working overtime at his desk, while Wen Yan nestled in a beanbag chair chatting with Luo Beiqing, and casually complaining about Luo Beiqing's former mother-in-law, whom he also disliked.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated beside me.

Wen Yan glanced at it and reminded Gu Yanci, "There's a text message."

The overseas executives of the Gu Group frequently sent text messages to Gu Yanci.

"Can you take a look for me?" Gu Yanci said with an air of nonchalance, as if he were someone who could be consulted at will.

Wen Yan didn't think he was hiding anything from her, but upon hearing this, she still snorted and deliberately raised her voice, "Let me see!"

Upon unlocking the screen and seeing the text message, Wen Yan's pupils contracted.
