Why would they adopt her mother if she wasn't their biological child and they hated her?
Gu Qianqian might be innocent, but she could tell that Lu Zhanbei was not being completely honest...
"Is that all?"
The young girl was visibly skeptical, but Lu Zhanbei didn't elaborate further, only saying, "Whether it's only that or not, you'd have to ask the old lady..."
At his words, Gu Qianqian fell silent.
After a long while, she looked up to Lu Zhanbei, timidly asking, "I thought of asking my mom, but I'm her daughter and it would be embarrassing, right? So..."
Taking a step forward, she delicately pulled at the man's sleeve, pouting, "Lu Zhanbei, just tell me! I know you must know."
"Children shouldn't worry about adult matters."
"I'm not a child anymore."
At her retort, the man's gaze dropped, "Hmm, I guess not..."
Feeling teased, Gu Qianqian went beet red!
