She had no choice; she really couldn't let go completely. Even if both of them were suffering, she just couldn't let go…
Seeing her like this, Rong Shaoze's mother became angry and said, "What now, you don't love Shaoze, yet you expect him to continue loving you? Lin Xinlan, I really didn't see it before, but you are so despicable and shameless!"
Lin Xinlan nodded in her heart.
She was despicable and shameless, she "didn't love" Rong Shaoze anymore, but she insisted he keep loving her.
She was greedy; she wanted all his love, not allowing even a bit of it to slip away.
Seeing the defiance in her eyes, Rong Shaoze's mother grew furious and slapped her hard.
"Grandma, don't hit Mommy!" Xiaocong, hiding in the corner, suddenly rushed over, spreading his arms in front of Lin Xinlan to protect her, his large eyes filled with grievance and sadness as he looked at Rong Shaoze's mother.
"Grandma, don't hit Mommy, hit Xiaocong instead!"
