"I don't want to give in, but what can I do? With my dad alive, my mom is just a stepmom, and I, as an older sister, don't have much say," Shi Nian'an said, her tone flat, but with the word 'grief' written all over her face.
Xiang Wan consoled her, "Let it go. Your mom should start living for herself, and your own life is just beginning. After all, Ayu is just the product of your dad's affair; he should be the one to pay for it. He's his biological son, he won't be too harsh on Ayu. A few years from now, when Ayu grows up and knows how to fight back, everything will get better."
Shi Nian'an looked at Xiang Wan firmly, feeling a hint of strangeness rising within her.
When she first met her, Xiang Wan appeared gentle, kind, and emotional in her eyes, but now there was a touch of indifference towards reality.
However, what Xiang Wan said wasn't wrong, if her father insisted on taking Ayu away, there wasn't much else to be done.
