Lin Xiangwan calmly looked at the woman, unable to express joy, nor rage.
Perhaps it was because they had never met before, no different from a stranger, or perhaps the current special circumstances prevented any joy. In any case, she felt no strong surge of emotion. "Is it because you are trafficking drugs? Do you not want to acknowledge me, or is it simply because you don't want to acknowledge me?"
Li Hongge laughed. "There are reasons for both!"
Lin Xiangwan, finding this answer acceptable, nodded. "Then why did you abandon me when I was born? Was it because I was an excess child, or you wanted a boy? Where is my father?"
Li Yonghong took a deep breath. "There's no issue of preferring boys over girls; I am not that kind of person. But I was an unwed mother. In that society, I had no means to support you. You must understand, even in today's Z country, it's hard for a single woman to raise a child, especially an unmarried one!"
