Ma Ji sat down on the deck next to me. "Xiao Yi is really not related to me."
I scoffed. "Do you really think I'll still believe you after all that? Trust the person when they reveal their true selves to you. That's what my little uncle taught me."
Ma Ji shook her head helplessly. "It looks like I can't persuade you otherwise."
I didn't say anything.
Ma Ji said, "Nanxing, things aren't as bad as you think. When you come to our place, you'll still be the little princess of the Tong family. Your status won't change."
I snorted coldly. "Little Princess? Little blood-supplying princess? There's no need to paint me a pretty picture. I'm your living blood vessel. I understand, and I'm not worried. As long as my eldest uncle is still sick, I'll be kept alive, right?"
I tilted my head to look at her and raised my eyebrows to tease her.
Ma Ji didn't mind. "You've really inherited your mother's personality. People can't help but love you."
