Chapter 1025: Unreasonable (2)

Zhong Guangping said, “Lin Lin, don’t be so prejudiced. Isn’t Yuan Yuan doing pretty well? Look carefully. The siblings actually treat her very well. Yuan Yuan’s clothes are much better than theirs. They don’t allow her to do any heavy work; she just helps out here and there.
“This is the family that Yuan Yuan has been living with for four years. Yuan Yuan’s actions prove that she’s a good girl. She knows that her siblings’ lives are hard, and she wants to help!”
“You…” Zheng Lin’s heart ached. “How can you say such things? You can watch your daughter suffer and still refuse to bring her home? Her clothes are nothing. When Yuan Yuan returns to our Zhong family, she will be a rich young lady. What are these cheap things?”
“You…” Now Zhong Guangping was really angry. He had been cajoling her for so many days, but Zheng Lin had not changed her mind at all. In fact, she had gotten worse. She gave him a bad feeling.
“Lin Lin, how many times must I tell you? Yuan Yuan’s current circumstances are her best option. I’ve asked the hospital’s doctors. Even the doctors say that Yuan Yuan’s medical condition is very complicated. They’re not sure that they can treat her. They all acknowledge Mrs Mo’s medical skills. They say she might be able to make Yuan Yuan better. Let’s listen to the doctors, all right?
“This Miss Gu is the mistress of the Mo family and is the Gu family’s only granddaughter. She’s also the Qiao family’s granddaughter. Do you know how important she is? All the rich families in the entire capital want her favor. She has no reason to deceive us.
“Besides, it looks like Yuan Yuan and this lady get along very well. That is Yuan Yuan’s good fortune. The other young ladies in the capital would like to win her favor, but they don’t even have the opportunity to do so!”
If one asked which young lady in the capital had the highest status, it might not be possible to pinpoint who was first or second. But Gu Qingyao would definitely be the object of much toadying.
If not for the fact that she was used to keeping a low profile and seldom interacted with the circle of renowned beauties and rich matrons in the capital, she would definitely be more well-known.
Zhong Guangping had ascertained his daughter’s medical condition and was well aware that Gu Qingyao had no reason to deceive him. So he had decided to follow Gu Qingyao’s advice. At the very least, he must not offend her.
When he got home, he discussed the matter with his family, and the Old Master had agreed with his decision.
Zhong Guangping felt that he was being very reasonable. Everything he did was for the sake of his daughter. Besides, they only had to wait a month. They had survived the past four years. If it was just a month’s wait, it would be worthwhile, even if it was just to avoid offending Gu Qingyao. But Zheng Lin seemed to be demon-possessed. She simply refused to listen to him.
When Zheng Lin heard all that, she was unable to accept it. In fact, she was very disappointed in Zhong Guangping.
“So, you are going to sell your daughter just because of that? Zhong Guangping, are you human?”
“You…” Zhong Guangping was startled. He could not understand why Zheng Lin was being so unreasonable.
Zheng Lin said, “That’s our daughter. The beloved young lady of the Zhong family. You’re going to let our daughter suffer just so you can gain the favor of a young girl in her twenties? What kind of lives are the other members of the Zhong Family leading? Don’t you have any pity for your daughter?”
“Why are you so unreasonable?” Zhong Guangping raged.
Zheng Lin said angrily, “I’m unreasonable? Is it you who is unreasonable, or is it me? Aren’t you just doing this to gain the favor of the Mo family?”
