"Did... did your father never tell you about your background?" Cheng Qingnian asked as soon as it slipped out of her mouth, realizing, "He probably wouldn't. He's never been someone who likes trouble. Besides, he wouldn't want to involve you with us."
Lu Yingxue looked very uneasy, somewhat pitiful.
"No, he never mentioned it. I always thought my mother was... I always envied others for having a mom, but I only had a strict father. He... was very strict, sometimes I felt suffocated."
She let out a wry smile.
Cheng Qingnian felt a mix of resentment and heartache for Lu Yingxue.
She just couldn't bear the thought of a baby growing up under someone like Lu Bannong, subjected to torment.
Her heart was in agony.
