Chapter 176 - Refusing Moral Abduction

??

“Qin Yang, I think you might not have experienced the feeling of living under someone else’s roof, so you can’t understand the despair and breakdown I felt at that time.” There were some things that had to be said. If she didn’t say it, the Qin family would never understand.

“I originally didn’t have any memories of your Qin family. In my impression, my parents were adoptive parents. They doted on me, but one day, they suddenly fell ill and passed away. At that time, I was extremely afraid and couldn’t sleep all day and night. But you guys appeared.

“You told me that I still had my parents and brothers. You brought me to the Qin residence and told me that this was my original home. That was like the last straw I grabbed before I fell into the water. I desperately cherished it.

“I’m always trying to please you all the time. If you want me to stay in the nanny room, I’ll stay. I don’t dare to complain about anyone bullying me. I just want to integrate into your family. But after working hard for nearly a year, I realized that everything was in vain.

“You wouldn’t accept me at all. So I completely gave up and completely despaired. This is the entire journey of my heart. Do you think I will believe you again after experiencing this process?”

Initially, she thought that her heart had already turned into ashes. However, when Qin Ran recounted the past in its entirety, it was as if she had experienced those long nights alone again. She had once again ground down the small hope in her heart.

As she spoke, both Qin Yang and Xing Li lowered their heads in shame. None of the snowflakes in the avalanche were innocent. At that time, Qin Ran treated them as the straw that saved her, but they ruthlessly pushed her into the water.

At this point, Qin Ran stood up and picked up her bag, wanting to leave the private room.

Qin Yang’s voice sounded again from behind. “Ranran, she’s your mother after all. You might not know, but there’s already a huge problem with her mental state.”

Xing Li’s checkup results were out at three in the afternoon. Because the situation was not very optimistic, he did not dare to tell his mother. Now that he saw that Qin Ran was about to leave, he couldn’t care less.

...

However, when Qin Ran heard this, she frowned. However, it was also within her expectations. She had long known that Xing Li’s mental state was not good. Recently, she had suffered three heavy blows from Qin Chong, Zhao Fang, and Qin Xue. She probably could not take it anymore.

“Back then, Mom missed you so much that she almost went crazy because she thought that you were lost. This is the root of her illness at that time. Ranran, on account of this, please forgive Mom.” Qin Yang also wanted to settle for the next best thing. He didn’t ask Qin Ran to completely forgive everyone in the Qin family, but only hoped that she could forgive Xing Li.

Qin Ran’s heart was filled with sorrow. The Qin family was still trying to do moral abduction on her. She slowly closed her eyes, and tears silently rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

“I gave her three golden beads to show my gratitude. However, once the three golden beads are used up, the relationship between us will still be severed.” Qin Ran’s voice wasn’t loud, but every word was extremely clear.

“Ranran…” Qin Yang wanted to continue begging.

“Shut up.” Qin Ran was completely enraged. She suddenly turned around and looked straight into Qin Yang’s eyes. “Back then, I was not even three years old, and I was also a victim. No matter how you settle this score, it can’t be blamed on me, right? Why should I take this into account? For what reason should I do this? Is it because she always mocked me after she found me, or is it because she forced me to marry a disabled person?”

When she was hurt and ostracized, no one spoke up for her. When the matter was revealed, everyone came to beg for her forgiveness.

Qin Yang was speechless and looked at Qin Ran in a daze.

After venting out so many grievances, Qin Ran’s heart beat faster and her emotions rose and fell. Since she has already spoken, she would do it all at once. Hence, she continued, “You can blame Qin Chong and Zhao Fang for her mental state. You can blame them for abducting me and having an affair for so many years.

“You can also blame Qin Xue for being an ingrate. You can even blame the three of you for not taking good care of her. However, you can’t blame me, nor can you use this as an excuse to morally abduct me.”

After Qin Ran finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the private room, leaving Xing Li’s pleading voice behind.
