Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

"Raising a daughter isn't easy."

Kathryn agreed.

The cost of raising a child was immense.

"But you didn't raise me," she said calmly. "You raised Feng Ruo. I was raised by my adoptive parents. Before I returned to the Feng family, I secretly gave them some money as compensation for the years they spent taking care of me."

"If I were more ruthless, I wouldn't have given them anything. After all, if they hadn't done such terrible things to me, I wouldn't have been separated from my biological parents, abused for over a decade, or nearly sold off."

By the time she became a teenager, her adoptive parents could no longer control her. But those ten years of suffering had already left deep scars.

Kathryn remembered everything clearly but never exaggerated.

Her adoptive parents had secretly asked her for money before, but she refused. She even warned them not to try again, and they didn't dare. They had also approached Feng Ruo, but Feng Ruo mostly ignored them. On rare occasions, she gave them a few thousand yuan at most. She made it clear to her biological mother: she wasn't Kathryn and wouldn't allow them to bully her.

Her mother suffered deeply, but Kathryn refused to let anyone control her. Once she grew up, she fought back-and she was ruthless. If anyone dared to bully her, she would chase them across villages with a kitchen knife.
