Gu Xiaonuan didn't react as Shen Biran expected, questioning her words.
Because... she simply didn't trust Shen Biran.
Gu Xiaonuan didn't trust Shen Biran, nor did she trust any of Shen Biran's advice.
The matter of divorce didn't need Shen Biran's involvement. If Shen Biran wanted to control her feelings, it depended on whether she was willing to be controlled.
"Nuannuan, whatever decision Mom makes is for you and Feng. Whether I leave you and Feng, or come back suddenly, it's all for you two."
Shen Biran couldn't explain her difficulties to Gu Xiaonuan, but she was sure that Si Yuchen held a completely different meaning to Gu Xiaonuan.
"Don't make me hate you anymore, don't say things that will make me hate you."
Gu Xiaonuan couldn't stand Shen Biran's feigned concern, as if she was really thinking for her, as if she had no selfish motives.
Gu Xiaonuan no longer trusted Shen Biran; she was her mother, but she had been playing with her as a pawn for so many years.
