Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Guilt, Unwilling to Lose Face

Lao Wu and Sixth Child might not be very clear about this, but you older ones probably know something,

”Back when we went to North City, I plucked up the courage to look for your eldest brother from the Luo Family. And what was the result? We were all taken to the police station. Weren’t you scared then, didn’t you feel disgraced?”

Meng Xingsheng opened his mouth but didn’t speak for a long while.

”When I married your dad, I really did wrong by my first son. Over the years... for you all, for this family, I never thought about my son, nor did I ever visit him, until last year when it came time for you to talk about marriage. Because the family really couldn’t come up with any money, I then set my sights on my son.

”But when I actually saw him, I just couldn’t speak. Yet for your sakes, in front of him, I still shamelessly stated our purpose for coming to North City. You all saw and heard clearly... He had no affection for me at all; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said those harsh words to me.”

Wang Guilan said, feeling a tightness in her chest.

Having lived in the village for many years, she was so roughened by the hard life that anyone who dared to give her trouble would find themselves stripped of a layer by her, even if it meant making a scene.

To sum it up, Wang Guilan was definitely not someone who took losses lying down!

Even if she was in the wrong, she would still twist and wrangle her way to seeming a bit right.

Because of her tendency to cause a stir, her reputation in the village was not very good.

But what could she do?

With so many kids at home, to get through life, if she didn’t make a fuss, were they all supposed to survive on the Northwest wind?

But... to make a scene in front of her son Yanqing, to be dramatic and overact, she couldn’t do it.

These were Wang Guilan’s true feelings.

Whether it was because of the guilt she felt towards Luo Yanqing, her son, or because she didn’t want a son so capable of seeing her in such a disreputable light, Wang Guilan couldn’t behave as shamelessly as she did in the village.

Moreover... Wang Guilan actually had feelings for Luo Yanqing, after all, he was her very first son, and her marriage to her first husband had been born out of true affection. With that being the case, as a mother, how could she not love her own child?

The answer, of course, goes without saying.

As for loving her son and yet choosing to remarry and leave him behind, that just shows that when it came to her own interests, Wang Guilan loved herself a bit more.

It was precisely because she had some unresolved feelings for her son Luo Yanqing that Wang Guilan, upon seeing him, was filled with guilt, didn’t want to lose face in front of him, didn’t want her son to see her acting like a madwoman, and chose to quietly retreat from North City.

And over the year, despite the efforts of the second eldest to work on her mindset, she was unwilling to return to North City.

But Meng Xingsheng, eager to marry, and unable to find a breakthrough with Wang Guilan, took matters into his own hands and went to Langcheng, thinking that since Luo Yanqing had lived in the Langcheng Welfare Institute for several years and was now working in North City, he might still have connections with the Institute, so he left his contact information in North City.

If he could somehow get this contact information from the Langcheng Welfare Institute, then by using the excuse that his old mother was gravely ill, he might be able to ask Luo Yanqing for money and get his wish.

But wishes are beautiful, and reality is harsh.

Director Nie of the Langcheng Welfare Institute didn’t pay Meng Xingsheng any mind at all, let alone give him Luo Yanqing’s contact information?!

Having made a futile trip, Meng Xingsheng felt frustrated, and with the girl who wanted to get together with him stirring things up behind his back, this led to Meng Xingsheng’s current predicament.

”From what Mother is saying,
