Chapter 38: Selfishness
"Jiaojiao, it was my grandmother who was wrong back then, she shouldn't have left you after knowing the truth, delayed you for so many years, and caused you to live these hard days. If it weren't for grandma's selfishness, maybe you would be ...... now It would be much better. Grandma Chu was already in tears when she said this, and she reached out to wipe her tears.
Chu Jiaojiao was silent and did not move, staring at the hand that crisscrossed the ravine, rough and thin like the bark of an old tree. It was these hands that pulled her to grow up.
Chu's father died early, Chu's mother had already remarried, Chu Jiaojiao grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, there was no money at home at that time, Chu Zhengliang was lazy and lazy, and Grandma Chu supported her by relying on subsistence allowance and picking up garbage.
But now, the owner of these hands told her that she knew who her own granddaughter was at an early age, and because of her own selfishness, she hid it.
"Jiaojiao, if you blame grandma, grandma has nothing to say, but now grandma should tell you the truth, you can live a good life when you return to the Lu family, you don't have to run around for grandma and your uncle, and you don't have to ......"
"Grandma." Chu Jiaojiao raised her head, her eyes seemed to be stained with tears, shining in the reflection of the sun, but she couldn't bear to not shed a single tear, "Jiaojiao wants to ask grandma, why didn't you tell the Lu family the truth?" Is there a little reason why...... Because ......"
Grandma Chu opened her mouth, her expression mixed with many complex emotions, including guilt, sadness and remorse.
Chu Jiaojiao's heart suddenly tightened, and tears fell so suddenly.
Grandma Chu's silence made her feel a kind of pain in her heart, although she was not the original owner, and her body had been replaced with a new soul, but she could still feel the sadness and pain very clearly.
It turned out that it wasn't Grandma Chu's reluctance, but her unwillingness? So, what is Chu Jiaojiao to Grandma Chu? What is the will she left before she died? Is it because of guilt, or is it to make amends?
There was no such paragraph in the original book, so she didn't know that Grandma Chu didn't tell the truth for Lu Qingwan in the first place. Later, when she wanted to tell the truth, no one wanted to believe it!
Maybe not, when the original owner went to find the Lu family, the people of the Lu family only had to check carefully to know that Lu Qingwan was not the real daughter of the Lu family, but they didn't, in addition to Mu Chengyu's instructions, they didn't want to recognize this child who grew up in the mud since he was a child, because of dirt and filth, such a person could not enter the door of the Lu family.
In high society, what you care about most is always your own image. It is difficult for her to get into the hall of elegance, and she is indeed not the daughter that the Lu family wants.
Chu Jiaojiao felt that she didn't want to cry, but she couldn't restrain her emotions, maybe the original owner was doing it.
She wiped her tears and squeezed out a smile vigorously, wanting to tell Grandma Chu that it doesn't matter, no matter what, Grandma Chu's care and love over the years is not fake, so it doesn't matter.
"Jiaojiao, don't cry, it's grandma." When Grandma Chu saw Chu Jiaojiao's tears, she immediately panicked, and hurriedly wiped her tears, "Grandma shouldn't have left you for herself, it's grandma who is not good, if you want to blame me, I will admit it." ”
"No, it's not, grandma, you mean ......" Chu Jiaojiao was stunned, looked at Grandma Chu and confirmed repeatedly, "Grandma is for me, not for ...... Lu Qingwan? ”
