"My goodness, Madam Qiao has kept this matter well hidden."
"Don't talk about it to others. My mother said that blood relations don't make much difference. She treats us all as her own. With such a good mother, the distinction between blood and non-blood relatives doesn't matter."
"In all these years, you never thought about finding your biological parents?"
"Yes, it is the right thing to do. Seeking them out would only hurt my mother's feelings."
"No wonder that man keeps coming to you. It turns out you are related by blood, and he might feel a connection with you."
Ling'er snorted, "Dream on. There's not a single good person in the Tian family. My mother carried me for ten months, went through the gates of the afterlife for me, and nurtured me into an adult. Why should I let him benefit from it?"
"That makes sense."
