Second floor.
Lin Tao hadn't entered the room but stood on the balcony. Hearing sounds, she quickly turned around.
Relieved to see it was Cheng Runzhi, she said, "Why aren't you downstairs with your friends?"
Cheng Runzhi stared at her face. "Have you been crying?"
"No." Lin Tao denied it.
"Your eyes are all red, and you still say you didn't cry."
"I'm just... a little sad, I really didn't cry." Lin Tao explained, "Actually, Mr. Xu was right just now. My mom has never really liked me, you must have seen it too, right?"
Despite only having a few interactions, Cheng Runzhi wouldn't have treated her the way he did if he hadn't seen Lin Tao's mother's true nature.
The man pursed his lips and stepped forward. "Actually... Yaoyao is quite similar to you."
"Yaoyao?" Lin Tao was puzzled. "How is she like me?"
