She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1061: Pathetically Stupid

"Mom, please, don’t be mad, I’m wrong, it’s all my fault."

After a while, Zhou Yuan kicked out, sending Hai Lan harshly to the ground.

"You are indeed at fault." Zhou Yuan looked at her with an expression as if looking at an idiot, her voice filled with regret and anger, "I was warned long ago that you’re an ungrateful wretch, and yet I didn’t believe it, wholeheartedly good to you. And what was the result? Even a dog I raised myself knows how to wag its tail out of pity for me. But you?"

She pointed with a trembling hand, "Not only are you ungrateful, but you also turned against me. Do you remember what you looked like when you were a little beggar on the street? After years of meticulous nurturing, all you’ve learned is jealousy, selfishness, arrogance, and mindlessness."

"Mom, I really didn’t do it on purpose, it was all Sheng Ning, it was all her. If it weren’t for her, how could I end up like this? It’s all her fault."

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan stood up and slapped Hai Lan hard on the face, leaving her in a state of disarray, slumped on the ground with a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth. "Even at a time like this, you still blame her? Why don’t you look for the reason within yourself?"

Hai Lan lay on the ground, breathing heavily, her chest heaving up and down, "Mom, what did I do wrong? Why does everyone scold me? Why do they all look down on me?"

"Even now you don’t know what you did? Reflect on that well." Zhou Yuan sat back down on the floor in despair, taking a deep breath, thinking of the man she never cared about, who defended her wholeheartedly even after being captured. Her heart ached intensely.

In fact, it wasn’t just Hai Lan who was wrong, she herself was too.

If she hadn’t been so vain and coveted the Hai Family’s power. If she chose to marry Shao Yiping, leading a simple life, perhaps she would have a biological daughter, a sweet little cotton jacket.

Living a happy life.

But now, everything is too late, and she must bear the consequences of the path she chose.

Once, Zhou Yuan was immensely proud yet self-abasing, but only in the interrogation room, when Shao Yiping said sorry to her, did she finally realize.

Her past mistakes were too outrageous, causing harm not just to herself, but also to Shao Yiping, and even worse, to Hai Shuangjie.

Neither of these men did anything wrong, one ended up imprisoned because of him, the other had his reputation ruined because of her.

"Mom, I’ll reflect, I’ll reflect."

"You don’t need to reflect to me, it’s useless reflecting to anyone now, our fates are the same." Zhou Yuan suddenly leaned closer, staring at her intently, enunciating each word: "Bound to die miserable deaths."

Hai Lan shivered all over, her eyes full of terror.

"No, Dad will save us, Grandpa will save us too, and Uncle. No one dares not give him face."

Zhou Yuan looked at her with deep pity, "If you hadn’t been foolish, they would indeed save us. But do you think they will now?"

"Why? They love me so much, I don’t believe they won’t save me." Hai Lan covered her burning cheek, her heart still indulging in a futile fantasy.

"You’re truly pathetically stupid, I was really blind back then, how could I have adopted such an ignorant, selfish person as you."

"Mom, I’ve tolerated you plenty, don’t push your luck." Hai Lan’s patience had its limits, enduring repeated humiliation and having her inner bounds pushed was intolerable.
