"I’ve told you a long time ago, I told you to announce Xiao Xi’s identity. She was studying abroad before but now she’s back! Everyone’s here today and you will tell everyone that Xiao Xi is part of our Ning family!"
Zhuang Lingyu reacted in horror, "What? Father, absolutely not! I disagree!"

Back then, when she had just returned home, she would have been heartbroken seeing such an expression like that from her biological mother but now, any semblance of expectation was totally eradicated.
Ning Tianxin was not aware of what Ning Xi had gone through, so she felt really sorry for her and held her cousin's hands tightly.
