Chapter 356: Concern
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon after, Gao Wen realized the young woman was not her daughter, Ye Xin. The young woman was Song Ning, the Young Madam of the Mu family. Song Ning and Ye Xin resembled each other greatly; they were half-sisters after all.
Gao Wen felt as though an invisible knife had stabbed her heart at this moment. They were half-sisters, but their fates were vastly different.
Song Ning was already the pampered Young Madam of the Mu family. Everyone envied her fortune. However, what about her daughter, Ye Xin? Her daughter was currently locked up in a mental hospital. Thinking about this, it felt as though the invisible knife that had stabbed her heart was twisted.

After a brief moment, Gao Wen forced a smile on her face and said, “Young Madam, you’ve only given birth a few months ago, but you seem to have become even more beautiful. Old Madam, you’re really blessed.”
Meanwhile, Ye Xin, who was standing behind Jiang Jin, stared at her mother. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She was still ‘locked up’ in the mental hospital, and yet, her mother had the mood to come shopping. She wondered if her mother even cared about her. Her mother kept telling her that she was the most important person, but contrary to her mother’s words, her mother only watched as she was locked up in the mental hospital. She was locked up for months, but her mother did not visit her nor did her mother think of a way to get her out of the hospital. How could her biological mother act like that?

With all these thoughts in mind, Ye Xin asked coldly, “Why is Madam Ye here alone? Did your daughter not come with you?”
The smile on Gao Wen’s face froze immediately.
Jiang Jin hurriedly pulled Ye Xin’s hand and said, “Ningning, how can you speak like that? It’s not like you’re unaware that Ye Xin made a mistake and is mentally unstable due to her stimulated emotions. She’s still in the hospital. Your words are like knives that stabbed Madam Ye’s heart…”
Then, Jiang Jin stepped forward and held Gao Wen’s arm. “Madam Ye, don’t mind her. Young people don’t think before they speak. I’ll speak to her again when we’re home.”
Gao Wen forced a smile on her face again. How could she get angry at this time? It was her daughter who offended Song Ning and ended up in her current state. Even if Song Ning provoked her now, all she could do was endure.
Jiang Jin did not release her grip on Gao Wen’s arm as she said in a lowered voice, “Madam Ye, I have a few words in mind, but I don’t know if I should say them…”
Gao Wen raised her head and looked at Jiang Jin in confusion. Jiang Jin’s friendliness was well-known. This kind of friendliness made her, whose heart had been severely damaged recently, feel warm. It had been a long time since someone had cared about her. Her attitude had clearly changed as she said, “Old Madam, please speak.”
Jiang Jin and Gao Wen walked side by side, leaving Ye Xin behind.
Ye Xin looked at her biological mother’s back and tried her best to suppress her surging emotions. She could not reveal even a trace of Ye Xin’s character.
When Jiang Jin saw there was now distance between them and Ye Xin, she said, “I originally thought Ye Xin is quite good. Why did she suddenly change? She used to be a good child…”
Upon hearing this, it was as though a dam had broken as tears streamed down Gao Wen’s face. She could not help holding Jiang Jin’s arm as she cried. “Old Madam, I’m sorry… It’s all… It’s all my fault…”
When a person’s emotions had been suppressed for too long, they would collapse in an instant with just the slightest prod.
Jiang Jin patted Gao Wen with her other hand and said, “Alright, stop crying. Our families can be considered friends. At that time, we’re too impetuous as well. We were too protective of Song Ning. It’s just like how you’re all so protective of Xinxin. Things will be fine.. I just feel sad for Ye Xin. Why did she suddenly develop mental issues?”
