"Will you tell Xiulan?" Zhihao asked.
Liu Jin nodded.
"She deserves to know the truth."
"… Then what about the old man? Will you tell him?"
"… I think I should. But I… I don't know if I could." He looked down.
If the old man found out that Xiulan wasn't his granddaughter… will he stop helping her?
Liu Jin didn't want that.
Sure, he hated Xiulan for letting Daiyu suffer in her past life… but he knew all too well what an evil mother was like. When Lanfen was mistreating him, he kept wishing for someone to come save him. Now that Xiulan found help… who was he to take it away from her?
"Then let's ask Uncle Tang. He should know how the old man would likely react upon hearing the news." Zhihao suggested.
Liu Jin paused before nodding.
"Okay."
