Nan Liying stood up nervously as Lu Yang entered.
Her heart seemed to leap to her throat.
Although she was of mixed heritage, she had not lived a good life as a child; rather, one might say she was destitute.
Her mother had given birth to her as a result of rape.
As for her father, who exactly was the no-good or whether he was even still alive, she truly had no idea.
Her mother had merely been an exchange student on a public scholarship at the time.
In a foreign land.
Ending up pregnant, one could only imagine the kind of thunderbolt that would be for an exchange student.
Actually, at that time, her mother wanted to terminate the pregnancy.
Just to pretend it had never happened…
But in the end, her mother couldn't bring herself to do it.
So, the mother ended her exchange program early and returned to her country.
Then…
She faced unprecedented pressure.
Too many people failed to understand her mother.
