Her mother had never made things difficult for her. Even after what Li Tanglin had done to her a year ago, she still chose to take a step back and settle for the next best thing. Actually, it was all for her own sake. She didn't want to make things difficult for her. She would rather suffer all those grievances on her own.
Bai Lu felt a lump in her throat as she put down her chopsticks. "… Mom, thank you. I … I don't know what to say. I just feel like it's too unfair to you."
"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I'm sure your dad feels the same way."
Bai Lu lowered her eyes as she recalled what Liang Feifan had said to her back in A City. She took a deep breath and said, "… Mom, actually there's something else I want to talk to you about. In the past year or so, I haven't seen anyone from Family Liang. I'm sure you haven't either. But after all, there are so many grievances between the Family Liang and the Bais. I was thinking … if it's possible, can we meet them?"
Chin Jin-hee was scooping soup when she heard this. Her hands froze in mid-motion. Her expression didn't change much, but the emotions between her brows instantly stiffened.
Bai Lu pursed her lips. Seeing that her mother wasn't saying anything, she didn't say anything either.
Chin Jin-hee had always said that as long as it was her daughter's choice, she would turn a blind eye to it. She wouldn't be conflicted or oppose it. As long as her daughter was happy, everything was fine.
However, Bai Lu knew very well that her mother simply didn't voice her thoughts. She was always taking a step back for the sake of her daughter. She had a delicate and sensitive relationship with Family Liang. Even if she didn't talk about what happened to her father, there was still Li Tanglin. As a woman, Bai Lu couldn't not understand how her mother felt about Li Tanglin.
"… Bai Lu, I don't want to oppose your happiness, but what you just said … Sorry, I don't really want to meet Family Liang. If one day, you and Liang Feifan walk down the aisle again, I will give you my blessings. All I can do is not interfere with my daughter's marriage and happiness. I will support you, but that doesn't mean I can get along with Family Liang."
Chin Jin-hee's voice was calm and emotionless, but every word she said was firm. "All I can do is not ask, but I can't face Li Tanglin. Bai Lu, I'm a woman after all. A year ago, I didn't pursue Li Tanglin because I didn't want to block your path to Fan Fan. Fan Fan is a good man, so there's no need to separate the two of you because of the previous generation's grudge. Over the past year, I've thought about it a lot. This is my final principle. "
Bai Lu was speechless. She had no right to refute her mother's words or ask her to do anything for her.
In fact, she was the most selfish person. In her own world, her love was bigger than the sky.
How selfish must she be to make such a request of her mother? That woman had almost killed her mother in the past, and now she wanted them to sit together peacefully. That woman didn't even say "I'm sorry".
When Bai Lu went to work in lati the next day, she saw Li Yuxiao, the supervisor of the design department, standing respectfully at the door of her office. She seemed to be waiting for her.
"… Supervisor Li, are you waiting for me?"
Bai Lu walked over and pushed open the door of her office. She turned sideways and said, "Come in with me."
Li Yuxiao followed Bai Lu into the office. Just as Bai Lu took off her coat and hung it on the hanger, she heard the woman behind her say, "I'm here to thank you, Director Bai."
"Previously, I really thought that I wouldn't be able to stay in lati, but then Manager Wen told me that you were the one who asked Manager Wen not to fire me … I admit that what I said to you before was a little extreme. No matter what, thank you, Director Bai."
Bai Lu turned around and raised her eyebrows emotionlessly. She said, "You don't have to thank me. I'm keeping you because I want you to clearly see that I didn't rely on a man to climb up. Even if my man paved the way for me, I don't have the real skills. That's why I'll only embarrass my man. So just wait and see. I'll produce results that will convince you wholeheartedly."
In the evening, Bai Lu revised a few of the design drawings in her hands. The project that she had previously worked on with the Liang Clan was basically completed. She just had to wait for the Liang Clan's final signature before she could start work.
However, she hadn't called Liang Feifan yet.
Originally, after the last call yesterday, she had said that she would call him at night. However, because of what she had said to Chin Jin-hee at the dinner table, she had been tossing and turning in bed that night and had forgotten to call Liang Feifan.
Compared to forgetting, she was more certain that she didn't really want to call.
