582 MOTHER AND DAUGHTER'S TEARS

YU JIAO was startled when she heard that.  She let go of her mother and quickly said, "Is this because of what happened to me?  Mom, you don't need to go that far."

"It's precisely because of what happened that I needed to go that far," Ji Xiuying said, her voice full of undisguised determination. 

"B-but, how about Uncle Mo?  I know that Mom loves him.  You don't need to sacrifice your own happiness just because of this small mishap.  I'm fine, Mom, really.  So, please, instead of worrying about me, just think of what will make you happy."  Yu Jiao smiled at her mother.  "You already sacrifice a lot for me, Mom.  More than anything, all I wanted is to see you happy."
