Grandfather stroked her head affectionately. "Silly girl. In what way is he better than Ah Heng? Although our family is indebted to the Yan family, if only I've known that you will suffer so much, even if we had to become beggars, grandfather wouldn't send you to the Yan family in the first place."
Xuxu recomposed her emotions and pushed grandfather away. She smiled while wiping away her tears. "Grandfather, what's the point of saying these? If I've not entered the Yan family at that time, I should be toiling at the farmland now, constantly exposed to the sun till my skin is charred. I don't want that type of life."
After wiping away her tears, she looked up at the old man. Her eyes were red and her voice still choking with emotions, "One look and one can tell that someone is jealous over Flourish & Prosper's collaboration with Country Y. Hence all these started due to a power struggle. Please don't drag Ah Heng into this matter."
