Chapitre 538: Saving Face

Mrs. Gu took a moment before asking, "She really raised your daughter?"

Song Xin'ai nodded her head. "She did. I believe that's all she had done in the past two decades. Raising a daughter that wasn't even her own."

"What about marriage?" asked Mrs. Gu.

Song Xin'ai rolled her eyes, "I told you back then and I'll tell you again, marriage had never been in Mu Chenyan's life plan. She never even thought about it. I still remember when my mother-in-law had asked her about marriage, she had said, 'Who said marriage is the life goal? My goal is freedom!'" Song Xin'ai smiled a little before adding, "But Hulin used to say that she ran from relationships only because she never wanted someone else to be in control of her and her life. When you love someone, you're giving that person control of yourself. You become vulnerable and Mu Chenyan never wanted to be vulnerable before anyone."
