Lu Qingqing really thought so.
On her birthday, a day tough on her mother, she always thanked her mom first when they were together in the past. Now that her true origins were revealed, she felt more grateful to Ning Anping, who risked the stigma of being an unwed mother and the danger of postpartum hemorrhaging to give birth to her.
Celebrating with a family meal was the best way for her, and a grand birthday party was totally unnecessary.
"It's probably because I still don't quite fit into high society life," she said with self-deprecating humor.
Hearing her daughter mention the hardship her birth had brought her, Ning Anping was naturally very moved and said, "Qingqing, you don't need to learn to adapt to high society. Just be yourself. I've earned all this wealth so that you can live a happy, free life, without having to compromise for the sake of others."
