She first came into contact with Lin Chuxia and believed more in her own judgment of people.
Lin Chuxia was not the kind of person she described.
Moreover, a child who is not protected by elders at home, how unruly can they be?
In contrast, the one who is favored everywhere can exercise more rights.
Lin Chuxia didn’t expect her to bring up this topic with her, she must have investigated and discovered her other identity.
However, she didn’t accept Zhuang Jingshu’s perspective and spoke calmly, "No one can say for certain what things would be like if none of this had happened. Since it has, we can only face it. I can’t influence my mother’s decisions. What she does is her business. I just hope that when she makes decisions, she doesn’t sacrifice her other daughter. Of course, if that were the case, I won’t let her control me."
It was an explanation and also a statement of her stance.
Zhuang Jingshu was Lin Jiayi’s biological mother, indeed providing a strong support for Lin Jiayi.
Her words were speaking about her mother, but also a reminder to Zhuang Jingshu.
How she loves and compensates her daughter is none of her business, she is not even afraid of fair competition in the market.
Just like the matter of the An City Vegetable Station, she doesn’t resent or blame.
If based on abilities.
Her failure to obtain that land was due to insufficient capability and lack of external funding’s strength and allure.
But if the other party tries to use improper means to satisfy Lin Jiayi’s selfish desires, affecting her business, she won’t just stand by.
Feeling the change in Lin Chuxia’s emotion, Zhuang Jingshu also understood the implication in her words.
For some unknown reason, hearing these words from Lin Chuxia made Zhuang Jingshu feel uncomfortable.
During her time in An City, she initially wanted to ease the relationship with her daughter and spend more time with her.
It wasn’t until later when Zhuang Yang discovered her daughter’s hostility toward Lin Chuxia that she delved deeper into the matters of the Lin Family.
And also gained a deeper understanding of this little girl she admired.
Precisely because of this, she understood the meaning behind Lin Chuxia’s words.
Back then, the marriage, though Lin Jiayi’s was unhappy, was her own choice.
The Lin Family wanted her to marry Qin Yang, while Li Guangyuan was initially chosen for Lin Chuxia.
This wasn’t a twist of fate or a scheme, but an open plan.
It was just Lin Jiayi’s misfortune that her choice was unsatisfactory.
But it was evident how the Lin Family favored Jiayi, biased towards this daughter.
As long as Lin Jiayi desired, she could change things without consulting the other daughter.
Even though Lin Jiayi was her biological daughter, Zhuang Jingshu couldn’t help but feel unfair for Lin Chuxia.
The words "I’m sorry" could no longer be spoken.
"You’re a good child. I didn’t know you were sisters before, nor did I know you had your eyes on the An City Vegetable Station, and certainly didn’t know Jiayi’s nature was so..."
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, "There’s nothing to apologize for, the market is open, and it’s all about capable people rising, this is also a kind of competitive situation."
Zhuang Jingshu didn’t expect her to be so open-minded and with such a good attitude.
