"I... Of course, I see you as my real daughter! But how is this related to which city Jungha will go to university in?"Lan anxiously questioned.
Krystal's tone turned even more bitter. "Jennie has already leaked out my real identity. Even my in-laws know that I'm not the real daughter of the Kim family and that I'm just the daughter of a rural woman! Do you know how awkward of a situation I'm being placed in? And now Jungha is coming to Imperial. Plus, you're even following him! Don't you think enough people know about this already?"
Lan's heart ached when she heard the line "daughter of a rural woman."
She did not expect her daughter to detest them that much...
Lan's tone trembled slightly, "Krystal, I understand that it's difficult for you, but this is related to Jungha's future! I can choose not to go to Imperial, but Jung won't be changing his first choice... He has been looking forward to going to Imperial. If I were to tell him to change now, he wouldn't be able to take it..."
Krystal laughed coldly, "You just said that you can do anything for me, but you're acting like this the moment your son is involved. This is the extent of your so-called love?"
"Krystal, no. I... Krystal, let me think about it... Give me some time, alright? This isn't something I can decide on alone."
...
In Spring Breeze Town, Chang Chun City.
Inside a single-story house, Lan was weeping by the table while Tang Shan smoked, squatting on the doorstep.
The young man's face was full of rage. "Why?! Why should I change my first choice?! Who does she think she is?! Who gives her the right to make us do this?! While it's true that she's never been under your care, but what about her? She has never fulfilled her filial duty! No one owes her!"
Lan was sobbing, "Jung, don't say that... She's your sister anyhow, and she's in a difficult situation right now. She said her identity has been revealed. Her in-laws know about it, so she's in a tight spot..."
Jungha's expression looked worse. "So what if it's been revealed? Everyone should've known about it five years ago! Does she think she's really the daughter of the Kim family? All of that belongs to my sister... to Jennie! She took away Jen's opportunities for so many years. Was that not enough? Mother, can you not be so selfish?! Even though Jennie isn't your real daughter, she stayed with us for 18 years. She's the first one to help us when we're in trouble!"
"I'm not. I don't mean that Jennie isn't good. We're talking about Krystal now... What should your sister do? She's worried that if we go to Imperial, more people will know about her identity. I know these opportunities are supposed to belong to Jennie, but your sister has come a long way...
"She just got married to a rich family. It must be hard for her. If we're close to her, even if we don't look for her and no one finds out, she'd still feel uncomfortable. She'd always live in fear..."
"Hard for her? She married into a rich family and gets to enjoy life every day. Which part of that is hard for her? After taking away Sis Jen's opportunities for so long, she deserves to live in fear! Mother, think about how she treated us along the years. I really don't understand why you're feeling guilty towards her!" The young man's face was bright red with anger.
"Father, do you agree that I should change my first choice as well?" The young man looked at his father challengingly.
