"Frankly speaking, if Xingxing weren't Tang Ling's daughter, but an orphan, Shen Mianmian wouldn't mind raising Xingxing as her own daughter. With Tang Ling in the picture, however, Shen Mianmian just couldn't accept Xingxing."
She wasn't so magnanimous to raise the child of a woman fixated on her big brother He.
Halfway through the drive, Xingxing suddenly said, "Pretty auntie, you must come and visit me with Uncle He in the future."
"Sure," Shen Mianmian nodded and smiled, replying, "Next time, I'll bring Xiaobei with me. You live well and be obedient. Your grandpa will love you very much. They are all your relatives and will treat you very well, even better than Uncle He does."
It was natural for Xingxing to depend on He Nan, living on the island with only a handful of people to interact with.
"Will grandpa really be nice to me?" Xingxing asked with some fear, "What if they don't like me?"
