Qin Zhuzhu expected her mother to be upset but was surprised when the latter pulled her into a comforting hug.
"It's okay," she said. "I've already guessed it. How could the prideful Xu family accept someone who has a bad reputation and no money? Did you really think I didn't know about it?"
Qin Zhuzhu looked guiltily at her mother.
"You knew? All this time....."
"Silly girl. I know you so well. You're my daughter. I was just waiting for you to come clean. It doesn't matter whether the Xu family wants you or not. They are not fit for my amazing daughter. Look at their daughters, Xu Lan and that Xu Jing, acting like their own the roads and bridges in the entire world. Such a bad family. Who would truly like and respect them if not for their grandfather's reputation?" Song Ping squeezed her daughter's hands.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you because...."
