Hai Tang calmed herself down and tried her best to suppress her restless heart. She changed the topic and asked,”My adoptive mother…” What did they talk about?”

“She entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you,” Gu Yun replied after a moment of silence.

“Is that so? I always thought that she didn’t care much about me.” Haitang lowered her eyes.

Gu Yun deliberated for a moment and did not reply immediately.

In his private meeting with Shu Mei just now, Shu Mei had actually told him a truth from many years ago.

It was about the dispute between Haitang’s parents and Shu Mei’s family.

In the early years, Shu Mei and Haitang’s father fell in love and decided to be together for the rest of their lives. However, the two families did not approve of this marriage. Shu Mei and Haitang’s father had no choice but to separate under pressure. Shu Mei went abroad while Haitang’s father stayed in the country. They agreed to reunite five years later when their careers were successful and they could get rid of the control of the family.

What Shu Mei didn’t tell Haitang’s father was that when she left, she was already three months pregnant. It was a girl.

The two of them had once agreed that if they gave birth to a daughter, they would name her Tang Tang. Shu Mei made it.

However, when Shu Mei happily brought her younger daughter back to the country, she discovered that Haitang’s father had listened to the family’s arrangements and married Haitang’s mother. Haitang’s mother also gave birth to a girl, also called Tang Tang.

The fickle man had long forgotten the oath he had made at that time. He even gave his wife’s daughter the name he had agreed upon with his former lover.

After that, there were some chaotic and unbearable entanglements. Haitang’s mother killed Shu Mei’s biological daughter, but Haitang’s father and mother died in a car accident. Before he died, Haitang’s father entrusted Haitang to Shu Mei.

Gu Yun still remembered Shu Mei’s original words. She said as if she was extremely tired, ” I really can’t explain my feelings for Haitang all these years. She has the same name as my dead daughter, has the blood of the enemy, and has a face similar to theirs. She constantly reminds me of the humiliation and pain of the past, but I can’t do anything to the innocent her.”

Shu Mei sighed again and said,” This child is also stubborn. She doesn’t say anything when she’s suffering, nor does she act coquettishly. When she saw that I ignored her, she didn’t say a word. She didn’t call me mother. I don’t know whose personality she took after. If she had given in a little, I wouldn’t have…Forget it, it’s all in the past.”

Therefore, with such complicated emotions, Shu Mei raised Haitang. This was also why Haitang always felt that her adoptive mother hated her, but she raised her well.

Before this, Shu Mei had wanted to personally tell Haitang about the past. It could also be considered as an explanation for Haitang’s deceased father. Shu Mei thought that she had done her best for Haitang, but after seeing Haitang’s nervousness and longing for kinship in her eyes, Shu Mei could not be cruel in the end.

So Shu Mei said to Gu Yun,” You are the person closest to her. Then it’s up to you to decide whether to tell her these things. Haitang is a good child. She used the name that originally belonged to my daughter. Perhaps God is telling me that I should be her mother.”

Gu Yun thought for a while and decided to bury these past events in the bottom of his heart. These grudges of the previous generation really should not be borne by the current Haitang.

When Haitang no longer felt inferior and lacked a sense of security towards her family, he would tell her this secret.

Thus, Gu Yun explained to Haitang,” Your adoptive mother said that she did something wrong in the past. She hopes you can forgive her. She has always been bound by marriage and children. She has already divorced Hai Yuan’s father. Now, she has started to try a new life, including establishing a mother-daughter relationship with you and teaching Hai Yuan well…

Before Gu Yun could finish, Haitang said with tears in her eyes,” I’ve already forgiven her a long time ago. I’m just sad that I couldn’t get love from her.” “You’ll get good love,” Gu Yun said gently.

“Actually, she was the one who gave you your name,” Gu Yun said after a pause. Haitang was stunned.” When I was in elementary school,” she said in disbelief,” she told me that my name meant that she wanted me to be as bright and beautiful as a flower.’

“This is exactly what she wanted.” Gu Yun nodded.

Haitang instantly burst into tears..
