My youngest uncle paused for a moment before gently patting my hand. "Alright, get lost."
There was a slight sob in his voice. I could hear it.
...
When Jing Ni saw me, she didn't say anything. She threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly.
I hugged her back and gently patted her back. For a moment like this, words were unnecessary. Bai Rui stood to the side and her eyes were red. After a long time, Jing Ni let me go with red eyes, she exclaimed, "Nanxing, we will get into M University!"
I patted her shoulder. "I believe in you! We'll both do it!" I knew that Jing Ni had to do that to bring her mother away from the Jing Family.
Bai Rui pulled on my hand gently, "Nanxing, thank you for treating Jing Ni so well."
I was guilty. "Auntie, I'm sorry. If I hadn't provoked Jing Yan, this wouldn't have happened. She wouldn't have chased you out from the family."
