The more distressed she felt, the more she had to hide it.
Neither mother nor daughter wanted to let the other see their pained expressions, always wearing smiles and making off-topic remarks to lighten the mood.
Aunt Xu, seeing their stoic endurance, could only sigh for them in her heart.
After taking care of her mother until evening, Chen Zhi still planned to return to the villa.
She instructed Aunt Xu to take good care of her mother before leaving.
By this time, Si Ye had already come back. Madam Zhou said he was upstairs, and Chen Zhi immediately ran up.
After lightly knocking on the door and hearing Si Ye's voice saying, "Come in," she pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing her, Si Ye put down his work and asked indifferently with a raised eyebrow, "Where have you been?"
