Yao Lili, on the other hand, leaned back on her bed and stared straight ahead, as though she was overcome by grief.
She said after a brief silence, "Ms. Yao, I have to apologize for the ridiculous situation I created before. It was my misjudgment."
"All these years, I've been selfish and never spared a thought for Xicheng. I liked his father Mo Hai so much that I refused to leave the Mo family. And I just didn't think that it would do him so much harm."
As she spoke, she dabbed at her tears and continued. "I wanted Mo Xicheng to have a good education, so I did something shameless, not caring if that was what he wanted. I didn't let him surpass Mo Zhi academically, but I never considered his feelings in doing so. Sob, sob, I have failed as a mother."
As she said this, she lowered her head and started to cry.
