”I... Of course, I see you as my real daughter! But how is this related to which city Xiao Nuo will go to university in?” Sun Lan anxiously questioned.

Ning Xueluoʼs tone turned even more bitter. ”Ning Xi has already leaked out my real identity. Even my in-laws know that Iʼm not the real daughter of the Ning family and that Iʼm just the daughter of a rural woman! Do you know how awkward of a situation Iʼm being placed in? And now Tang Nuo is coming to Imperial. Plus, youʼre even following him! Donʼt you think enough people know about this already?”

Sun Lanʼs heart ached when she heard the line ”daughter of a rural woman.”

She did not expect her daughter to detest them that much…

Sun Lanʼs tone trembled slightly, ”Xueluo, I understand that itʼs difficult for you, but this is related to Xiao Nuoʼs future! I can choose not to go to Imperial, but Xiao Nuo wonʼt be changing his first choice... Xiao Nuo has been looking forward to going to Imperial. If I were to tell him to change now, he wouldnʼt be able to take it…”

Ning Xueluo laughed coldly, ”You just said that you can do anything for me, but youʼre acting like this the moment your son is involved. This is the extent of your so-called love?”

”Xueluo, no. I... Xueluo, let me think about it... Give me some time, alright? This isnʼt something I can decide on alone.”

…

In Spring Breeze Town, Chang Chun City.

Inside a single-story house, Sun Lan was weeping by the table while Tang Shan smoked, squatting on the doorstep.

The young manʼs face was full of rage. ”Why?! Why should I change my first choice?! Who does she think she is?! Who gives her the right to make us do this?! While itʼs true that sheʼs never been under your care, but what about her? She has never fulfilled her filial duty! No one owes her!”

Sun Lan was sobbing, ”Xiao Nuo, donʼt say that... Sheʼs your sister anyhow, and sheʼs in a difficult situation right now. She said her identity has been revealed. Her in-laws know about it, so sheʼs in a tight spot…”

Tang Nuoʼs expression looked worse. ”So what if itʼs been revealed? Everyone shouldʼve known about it five years ago! Does she think sheʼs really the daughter of the Ning family? All of that belongs to my sister... to Sis Xi! She took away Sis Xiʼs opportunities for so many years. Was that not enough? Mother, can you not be so selfish?! Even though Sis Xi isnʼt your real daughter, she stayed with us for 18 years. Sheʼs the first one to help us when weʼre in trouble!”

”Iʼm not. I donʼt mean that Xiao Xi isnʼt good. Weʼre talking about Xueluo now... What should your sister do? Sheʼs worried that if we go to Imperial, more people will know about her identity. I know these opportunities are supposed to belong to Xiao Xi, but your sister has come a long way…

”She just got married to a rich family. It must be hard for her. If weʼre close to her, even if we donʼt look for her and no one finds out, sheʼd still feel uncomfortable. Sheʼd always live in fear…”

”Hard for her? She married into a rich family and gets to enjoy life every day. Which part of that is hard for her? After taking away Sis Xiʼs opportunities for so long, she deserves to live in fear! Mother, think about how she treated us along the years. I really donʼt understand why youʼre feeling guilty towards her!” The young manʼs face was bright red with anger.

”Father, do you agree that I should change my first choice as well?” The young man looked at his father challengingly.
